In the beginning.
There was not yet earth, nor sea, nor air.
When all things were still enfolded within darkness.
There existed a Power named "Orlog (奥尔劳格)".
It was invisible, of unknown origin, and yet it was. Unspeakable and yet ready to be interpreted at will, known by all things and yet Forever impossible to be understood.
Lord of all things, the eternal law of the cosmos, the fate without beginning or end, the hidden first cause… transcending all things and yet abiding within all things, every event and every thing contains a fragment of It. All the singable and lamentable tales of the Nine Realms, even the Twilight of the Gods, are manifestations of Its will.
Though It does not participate in any story, every story is Its will.
It has done nothing, yet from Its unconscious operation everything flows forth, symbolizing birth and annihilation, the alpha and the omega of all.

The fierce dispute did not proceed in the ordinary sense of voices.
