### **I. The Void and the Weaver**
Before time began, there was only the **Void**—an endless, silent sea of nothingness. No light, no darkness, no thought, no breath. It was the great emptiness, waiting.
Then, **She** awoke.
No name could contain her, but the beings who would later worship her called her **Nythriel, the Weaver of Eternity**. She did not open eyes, for there were no eyes to open. She did not stretch limbs, for form did not yet exist. She simply *was*, and with her awakening came the first thought:
*"I am alone."*
The Void shivered at the sound of her voice, for it was the first sound ever uttered. And Nythriel, feeling the weight of solitude, began to **weave**.
