#2 Greyson Sep 12, 2003 17:15:33	This is a good question, and one I think you'll find wanting of an answer. Early Living Greyhawk Journals made inidications about each of the races and their creation myths as a race. But it seems like nothing has been said about the creation of the Oerth, at least in the above noted journal. I would like to see if anyone has any answer or any leads on an answer to this question. Maybe a search of Greytalk might yiled something. Anyone...?

IMC, the Suel and other peoples actually came from other worlds to begin with; Lendor built the Null, for instance, and brought the Suloise version of Adam & Eve to Oerth. I've thought that all races, animals, monsters etc were created by the gods on some ancient world and that they spread throughout the multiverse over vast eons of time. That would account for the fact that each race and so forth is found everywhere without having to have a special creation for each world...

Here's one: http://hem.passagen.se/warlich/Greyhawk/World/orgin_of_the_gods.html Ther are two on this site: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/5878/wogtexts.html There's a 5 part series available on this site: http://www.rpgoracle.com/index.php (search function is at the top right , search for creation myth) Grodog has a demonic Creation myth: http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_abyss_creation.html ManofTheCranes' website used to have one here: http://www.manofthecranes.com/AgeofMyth.htm but it's lost. (Does anyone have it saved?) Of course everyone tells it differently.
