Creation Myth
All started with Haugott, which created the universe and the planets, then he created Kriessen and Neuersumsgott, they decided to overthrow Haugott, so they killed him.
Then they saw that there was an entire universe to be controlled, and also no sun, so they went to Earth. Found some people, did some Zeus and from that came
Wiedergonne, Bergonner, Gosser and Monlatz.
So now the main god is Neuersumsgott, but Kriessen doesn’t like this, so Kriessen tries to kill Neuersumsgott, fails and gets sent to the abyss (which is space).
Now as humans are dumb and don’t fight, they start dying (Mostly of hunger because they forgot). Humans go extinct and then Neuersumsgott brings Kriessen back,
who kills him (seriously what did he expect).
So because of what happened now the gods have to make new humans, and after some… conflicts i guess, they decide to make new humans in Europe.
Kriesser, Gosser and Bergonner make more Zeus and then new gods come, this time being Dunkelböse, Tocksalheit, Kunsertur and Weinöttin.
Now with a goddess to control earth, a god to control the abyss, and a goddess of death we can see what will happen next. Dunkelböse and Tocksalheit decide that
conquering earth is a good idea, and so they do! Now more humans die, and there’s almost no humans left AGAIN, but the survivors of this go west.
So with no universe god what do the gods do? They decide to give the oldest god the control of this situation, so Kriessen decides to kill Dunkelböse and Tocksalheit,
and the gods then decide to not give him all the power, so they form the “Godly Court”, which is basically the legal system. The gods then decide to exile them to
the abyss, but then Monlatz breaks part of it and makes the new and impressive world of “Bösewelt”. So now the gods of evil and death are in Bösewelt and in there they
punish the evil people (which is a very vague statement). Now with all of this done the gods have to make more humans, and for some reason Weinöttin and Gosser decide
to make them based on their sons, which they still don’t have. For some reason the idea is accepted and when Gosser and Weinöttin have their sons (which end up being
twins) they name them Gesundetter and Liebarkaft. Yeah they end up not wanting their kids in earth so they decide to make the kids create the new humans (why did they
think that making the kids create the third human was a good idea?), and that’s how the modern human was born. After some time and humans always going to Bösewelt
even when they’re good, Monlatz (which is the closest to the universe god) decides to create a new world close to earth, a very bright and beautiful world, which is
called Todeswelt, which means “World of death”, and that name is strangely menacing. The Godly Court moves from the abyss to the new Todeswelt.
Morals
Bad: Killing your family (unless a god says so, for some reason), Saying you’re better than the gods (Even if it’s true), T O R T U R E
Good: Being kind to your family, cooperating with others, killing your enemies with honor (well that isn’t as good), obeying the gods
Beliefs
The existence of the spirit (Todesmensch) and of rebirth
There’s no direct meaning in life, we’re alive because the gods haven’t fought with one another, and to keep them from fighting we give them food and weapons (for some reason)
Humans are on Erdwelt
When they die they enter Todeswelt
Except if they’re evil, then they go to Bösewelt

End of Times Myth
The gods will fight and destroy the third generation of humans and the rest of the second generation (This is the Götterdämmerung, and i didn’t have a name so it’s literally called “Ragnarök”)
I guess that i also have to put actions so
Actions
Action 1: A quarter of my populaton will research division of labour
Action 2: Another quarter will try to make a writing system
Action 3: A third quarter will make better rafts
Action 4: The last quarter will try to establish trade with phoenicia
Can i divide an action into 4 or is it too much? i feel like it’s too much
