(This creation myth, as sung/spoken by the Bottomwarp Lorekeeper Illusha, is but one of many. There are other versions -- some of which involve themselves less with sex -- but this is a fairly traditional, popular one, and as Illusha notes, sex is frequently about pleasure and beauty and creation, and so is entirely appropriate for this subject. The beginning few stanzas are a formula set with which Illusha begins all of her lorespinnings. All but the younges or most naieve Bottomwarpers know full well that such stories have no claim on objective truth, and are valued, as art pieces, for their beauty or in metaphorical terms.) |
