Creation Story

Before there was anything, there lived a mighty God. Her name was Starlarian Harlethian. She was the perfect image of woman, even though she had weird pointed ears. She had lovely, long, silky, auburny red hair and was proud of this more than anything else. Starlarian always carried a quickdagger that she could draw from her moleskin pouch in the blink of an eye. She was a master swordswoman.

Testuch, who was very independent and hated taking orders from others, snorted at Starlarian nastily and knocked her dagger
