The Beginning Place is a location of cosmic and religious importance within the Void. It is the site at which the Aurbis was formed from the interplay of Anu's stasis and Padomay's instability.[1][2][UOL 1] Later, it was where the et'Ada crystalized into existence. Akatosh, Dragon God of Time, came into being first.[2][3] Following his example, the most powerful spirits formed,[4][5] including Mephala, Arkay, Y'ffre, Magnus, and Ruptga.[6]
According to the teachings of the Tribunal Temple, mighty, net-like fires exist in the Beginning Place. Molag Bal used them to bind Vivec during their marriage.[7] Later, Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia gathered them to contain the ash of Red Mountain after its eruption.[8]
Notes[edit]
- Some sources state that Akatosh created the Beginning Place, rather than being the first spirit born from it.[9]
