	After several failures, The Sleeping One drew forth life from its heart, from its mind it drew forth intellect and from its body it did carve the world. The ~~muuldu~~ grew first, twisting vines that dug beneath the rock, splitting its veins wide and spilling the water onto the world. Next The Sleeping One rubbed the world with the ~~shuuktuuk~~. The trees grew tall and canopies of pink with bulbs of ripe fruit covered the world. Next the ~~mucor~~, placed with care in the places that The Sleeping One would place its first children, and in the mucor The Sleeping One placed the memories of this time, this creation; the time before all there was. The ~~feelun~~ came last and they twisted up from the water, some stretching miles tall, opening in splendid colors to The Sleeping One's watchful eye. The flora grew and spread along the world called Bur until it reached a balance. Then flora gave birth to life of its own: ~~koruu koru~~, ~~muloo~~, ~~bomutur~~, ~~iallootu~~, ~~hefuu~~, ~~nirakay~~, and ~~moar~~. All life sprung from the first life of the world save the Burun and Fiazhat.<ref name=ReportToNiarltah/>		After several failures, The Sleeping One drew forth life from its heart, from its mind it drew forth intellect and from its body it did carve the world.

	Across Bur, the flora had spread and grown a sea of life that was unknowing of The Sleeping One. Its gaze fell upon them and watched at all times, but the life of Bur was unknowing, save for the mucor. But even the mucor knew only what it had seen, and its knowledge was not one that learned, rather it was one that grew without limit, scope or design.<ref name=ReportToNiarltah/>		Across Bur, the flora had spread and grown a sea of life that was unknowing of The Sleeping One.

	The Sleeping One was still alone and though it had succeeded in bringing life it had failed to create what it had wanted. There were no beings that thought like it, could call to it or ask it for guidance. So it pulled two seeds from the nether and planted each into the soil of the Bur. It watched as the seeds grew into life and began to swim through the muck of the Bur and then leap from the muck to the ~~muloo~~ or walk amongst the ~~iallootu~~. Brothers born of its flesh, the Fiazhat and the Burun. In the dark Burun huddled together and supped on the fruits of the ~~shuuktuuk~~, they grew wiry and strong swimming through the muck and feeding on the ~~moar~~, ~~bomutur~~ and the ~~bomuturs~~ smaller offspring. The Fiazhat spread along the solid ground, hunting ~~moar~~ and feeding from the ~~iallootu~~. <ref name=ReportToNiarltah/>		The Sleeping One was still alone and though it had succeeded in bringing life it had failed to create what it had wanted.

	After the Falatacot left and the disasters drove a part of the Burun underneath the earth, two different views on The Sleeping One came into being.		After the Falatacot left and the disasters drove a part of the Burun underneath the earth, two different views on The Sleeping One came into being.
