There was nothing but the sea, sun & sky

For the first part of Erdas’s life

Then, came a shining sapling

With silver bark & golden leaves

Her branches touched the heavens

Her roots touched the fiery core

As they breathed life into the world

They created the Great Beasts, and all of us

The Evertree, the source of all bonds

Everything thrived under her rule

Til she became old and started withering

The Great Beasts, except for the Four Fallen

Sacrificed themselves for Erdas

They killed the Evertree

So the world could begin anew
