20.2 Pools of Creation
After the destruction of the Garden of the Gods in the year 100 of the Midnight Age, when the Pillars of Heaven were shattered and scattered, Aetolia's divinity resided inside an incomprehensible Void. The emergence of Belakai, the Shaper of Divine Essence, heralded the founding of a new haven of immortality beyond the reach of mortal ken. Beneath the fathomed deeps of the Pools of Creation, multi-colored ponds of day and night, the Gods and Goddesses of Aetolia ruminate inside the Mists of Essence, flowing with the currents and tides of the Creator. Though the exact measurements would be a paradox to determine, it is said that the Pools are the place that Varian first created Essence.
