First of, let us hear our myth of creation.
--- The world had changed, it could be felt in the earth, sensed in the water, felt in the wind. History had turned to legend, legend had turned to myth, for none now lived that rembered...
Nothing had existed before, everything lay silent and dormant for a millenia, until the great lands awakened and gave birth to a great giant, Atmir, who created the Drayssliga, a great evergreen that would later become shelter to the world. He later created a race of giants from his blood that spilled unto flames. He then went back to sleep, never to awake again. The giants began to melt the ice that had formed on the earth, from where a giant cow, Adlma, emerged and gave sustenance to them, Adlma licked the salty stones for her own sustenance and after 3 days a complete woman emerged, this woman gave birth to a race of dwarves that later killed the giants and from their bones created the mountains, from their blood the rivers and from their brains the clouds... Only one giant survived the slaughter, hiden from the dwarves by their own mother, this giant, Fortwath, slayed the dwarves and in their place created men and women to populate the earth the dwarves had created. Fortwath and his mother used the eyelashes of the giants to create a giant fort to live in and from there they moved the earth under the Drayssliga, so it would be protected for all eternity.
The race of men Fortwath created began to walk the lands towards the south, since the icy north was too harsh to survive in. For 4,000 years the searched the earth for a place to live. They found a great valley surrounded by hills made by the bones of giants and nurtured by the waters of the northern sea, a wild cow was sighted to the north and saw it as a sign of the great Adlma. They settled and founded the city we would later call Bavaria.

That is our myth of creation, or so the story goes. Any other myths anyone remembers?
