Bront
The man with the probe
While there are many theories of creation of Enworld, one of the more well known of them is the tale of the conflict between Gundar and Halor. As the tales go, Gundar crafted the earth, and invited the gods to join in his creation under his guidance. Halor, Gundar's brother, became jealous of the power and control that Gundar had over the world and the other gods. In a great conflict, Halor crafted the skies and tried to have them swallow the earth in pure and total chaos. The two gods fought, and the world was ravaged and torn asunder, till Gundar placed what was left on the back of the Enworldphant, which was too large for the sky to swallow.
While many discount this as a simple legend, and this is rarely taught by either god's followers, it is a popular and well known tale. What is known is that Gundar and Halor are powerful deities and brothers in great conflict, and worshipers of both gods can be found across Enworld.

Gundar is worshiped by those who strive to give order as well as those who make order out of chaos. Leaders, Crafters, Builders, and others looking to create structure in the world. Druids also worship him for his connection to the earth and the world. Gundar is never known to have appeared on the world, but is often depicted as an older but stronger man, who’s face has the look contemplation.
Followers of Gundar teach of his ties to the earth, and discipline in life. They teach that creating things is they way to bring order to the chaos of life, and often priests are often local craftsmen as well. Temples dedicated to Gundar are always well built, and often ornately done as well. Worshipers of Gundar tell the story of creation, but they tell it more as a demonstration of Gundar’s potential power, and will generally it is taught that while it is not necessarily true, it is a possibility, and well within the realms of Gundar’s powers.
CREATION DOMAIN
Granted Power: Cast conjuration (creation) spells at +2 caster level. (Those with access to both the Artifice and Creation domains cast conjuration (creation) spells at +3 caster level.)
Creation Domain Spells
True Creation
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Creation 8
Components: V, S , M, X P
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: Unattended, nonmagical object of nonliving matter, up to 1 cu. ft./level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The caster creates a nonmagical, unattended object of any sort of matter. Items created are permanent and cannot be negated by dispelling magics or negating powers. For all intents and purposes, these items are completely real. The volume of the item created cannot exceed 1 cubic foot per caster level. The caster must succeed at an appropriate skill check to make a complex item.
Unlike the items brought into being by the lower-level spells minor creation and major creation, objects created by the casting of true creation can be used as material components.
XP Cost: The item’s gold piece value in XP, or a minimum of 1 XP, whichever is more.
Genesis
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Creation 9
Components: V, S , M, X P
Casting Time: 1 week (8 hours/day)
Range: 180 ft.
Effect: A demiplane on the Ethereal Plane centered on your location
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell creates an immobile, finite plane with limited access - a demi-plane.
Demiplanes created by this power are very small, minor planes. A character can cast this spell only on the Ethereal Plane. When he or she casts it, a local density fluctuation precipitates the creation of a demiplane. At first, the demiplane grows at a rate of a 1-foot-radius per day to an initial maximum radius of 180 feet as the fledgling plane draws substance from surrounding ethereal vapors and protomatter or astral ectoplasm.
The character determines the environment in the demiplane when he or she first casts genesis, reflecting most any desire he or she can visualize. The caster determines factors such as atmosphere, water, temperature, and the shape of the general terrain. However, the spell cannot create life, nor can it create construction. If desired, these must be brought in by some other fashion.
Once the basic demiplane reaches its maximum size, the character can continue to cast this spell to enlarge the demiplane if he or she is inside the boundaries of the demiplane. In such a case, the radiusof the demiplane increases by 60 feet for each subsequent casting.
If the spell is cast again while outside an existing demi-plane, the casting creates a separate bubble that does not touch or overlap any previously created demiplane.
XP Cost: 5,000 XP.
ARTIFICE DOMAIN
Granted Power: Gain +4 bonus on Craft checks. The character casts conjuration (creation) spells at +1 caster level. (Those with access to both the Artifice and Creation domains cast conjuration [creation] spells at +3 caster level.)

Halor, God of the Sky
The Sky King, The Grand Suvayor

Worshipers of Halor tell the story of creation, but with a twist. In their version, Gundar was a strict and oppressive ruler, and Halor lead the uprising against him among the gods. It is told to teach that order is not always right, as well as to inspire those of Halor’s power as a god. They make no commitment as to the truth of the tale however.

I felt that Enworld was mising a god of the Sky/Heavans, and a Leader/creator god. As it was requested to not have a true creation god, I built the story as a legend that differs between the gods, and neither church tells the story as fact, but as a lesson in the god's power/glory/direction. Comments welcome.
