“Hmph… y’know, I’m rather curious about this ‘Anu’. Your god is supposedly the creator of everything that exists, right?”
“Y-yes. He is the one and true God, the Consoler and Bringer of Light. Anu is all powerful, all encompassing, and it is Him who created Aurus and all creatures in it.”
“Why?”
"Why...? Because of love, Daitza. Anu made us so He could share His infinite love with His creation.”

"To our mortal minds, yes... but I find it comforting in a way that they watch over us all the time, Protecting us. Guiding us."
"If you say so. How do you dwarves know all this stuff?”
“Ah, that one is easy to answer. You see, many historical figures have interacted with angel messengers in the past, and Anu Himself enlightens the holiest of men with His wisdom and knowledge. It's all recorded in our books."
"Uh-huh... I see. Anyway, back to the Dominions..."
"Okay, where was I... ah, yes. Anu made Antum His wife, and the Moon Mother conceived seven children over a span of seven thousand years. In order of birth, the siblings were Akasha, Ug’Drunuth, Dagon, Gnolrek, Xarzar, Gaia… and Ha-“
