The Twelve and the creation myth - Oschon is a cad, Halone is homicidal, Nymeia is a fussy mom...

Hey all! :D So, I know nobody asked for this, but when I did my basic lore stuff, I found that I REALLY needed to retell this story and a bit about the 12 gods of Eorzea. Aaand me being me, this kinda… spiralled. ^^;; It has been such fun making stick figures, but I think this became a bit more animation intensive than I had anticipated when I started. XD Right, disclaimer, of course, that I am not an expert in any of this, and that I can have misunderstood or misread stuff in the myths. Be also aware that the 12 that we will meet in Endwalker will likely vary from this quite a bit, but I am still confident that they will make SOME nods to the myths and legends that we do know already. ^^ I REALLY wanted to make a video where I did this, and then went into each god, but the script was 12+ pages (and extra notes), and I realized that when recording that this wasn’t going to happen. So, I rewrote the script, tossed out most of the material, and recorded a new one. ^^ While much shorter, it is still pretty damn long, and I have made timestamps so that you may better navigate around and see stuff that seems relevant to you. ^___^ 0.00 – Intro. 1.16 – How old is the religion?
