This is straight from the creation myth "He lifted the mountains from the bossom of the earth and let their peaks rise high to praise the sky which curved as a blue ether over the circle of earth. The figure let the trees rise from their mould and the grass to grow at their roots and he set the wind to blow between the leaves of the trees. But the figure was not happy." So at least plants existed. At this time Namahas had created servents namely Aluna and Sinister. there where no other gods at the time. Also they where more interested in keeping balance instead of power. But the myth i proposed after the creation myth will have to change. i just reread it and it would be better Yorkaturr and nature god be made by Aluna and sinister. If you want the new gods that arose after the old gods could make servents. > > - new more intelligent animals (Mammals and birds) begin to come into > > being these creatures start to leave behind a residue of consciousness > > after their deaths.

I sure hope you don't mean this in the real world ( of course this comes from a nialistic scientific materialist :) But yes this can be changed. > > > The new Gods began to tire of the world and began to threaten Namhas > > and the other gods draining the older gods' strength with constant > > battle.

In all myths i have heard the new gods usually kill their father this sort of follows this course exept namhas and others do not die but are just taken down a peg.
