Concerning The Creation of The World, The God-Emperor and the Mighty Nation of Sarawak.
From the completely unbiased accounts taken from the Holy Blocks, Books, Scrolls, Stones and Tablets.
In the begining there was something. And that something was It. It was shapeless, but It existed. It has always existed.
It was lonely. So it called into existence Everything, except life. It was so happy that It had things to play with, It died of happiness. From It's death, there cam life. It would be billions of years before life came to Gaia, but life did come.
No one knows how long it took before humans appeared on Gaia. But they appeared soon enough.
The various family groups humans came from began moving out of their ancestral homeland. One was lead by a man known to all of the Sarawak as Ka'v Idvisa's Va'ditaera'. He still had a little bit of It's power within him, and he commanded the trees to give him a special craft, which would take his entire group across the water. After many months of sailing, and surprisingly few deaths, they came to a large island. They settled on this island and built a city, Sibu. Va'ditaera' had a family, and, when he was about to die, he, close friends and his eldest son went to a rock in the middle of the jungle.
It was there he laid down the laws of Sarawak, and he made those close friends 'Priest-wardens'. His last act was to give the God part of him to his son. Then he made them all leave, preferring to die alone.
His son, Etlkes, became Emperor as soon as they got back. From that day on, there have been many Emperors, but only one God.

Note: I didn't know whether to have the God-Emperor as a 'ruler in death' figure, like Charlgemane, but I went for a 'legacy hero' sort of thing.

The Blocks of Chance: The Blocks of Chance are kept within the second strongest room in the Empire. Only the Emperor may look upon them, for they contain the secrets of the universe.
