The Grand Experiment

The Grand Experiment is the widely-accepted name for the creation epic of Aotis. It is the period of time stretching from when Leuka was begotten from nothing in the primeval void, up until they were imprisoned by their children in order to protect the world from the growing madness of its creator.

The Beginning
In the void, there was nothing but stars, empty planets, and space. Then Leuka spontaneously arose from nothing. At first, they were nothing more than a formless consciousness - a powerful mind with grand ambitions.

Creation of the Naga and Seraphilim
The creation of "minor" life forms was not enough to satisfy Leuka. They desired equals to rule over creation with them.

Seeding of Aotis
With a series of children created, Leuka set their eyes on populating the worlds with a series of creations more powerful than their first set of creations, yet not as powerful as the Naga and Seraphilim. In the final phase of their experiment, Leuka developed a series of races limited by mortal lifespans but having the capacity for intelligence, reason, and culture.

Imprisonment of the Architect
As time passed and their powers grew, Leuka grew more consumed with displaying their abilities. Eventually, they became nervous that their children would attempt to overthrow their creator, and Leuka grew mad due to a mixture of fear and misplaced anxiety. After some time, Leuka attempted to destroy some of their children, among them the chiefs of the Seraphilim and Naga, Mithraya and Xibalba. Though Mithraya and Xibalba were weakened by their bout with their creator, the transgression brought all of Leuka's children together to lock the creator in The Black Room, alongside the Paleonaga. The Seraphilim and Naga then surveyed their creator's works and each chose a domain for themselves. Thus
