Editing LeviathanTempest:ArchivedCosmology (section)

== The Progenitors ==

=== Frank Trollman starts us off ===
"when Tiamat ruled the ocean in the before time, she had children beyond counting and those children were the inhabitants of the sea. But foremost of her followers were the Leviathan, which were divided into "schools" which partook of a different portion of Tiamat's multi-headed spirit.

And when Marduk killed Tiamat it poisoned the water and cut the Levithan off from her divine source. And they were no longer able to live alone in the sea, but were subjugated by humanity and forced to mingle their blood with man's. And now there is an awakening of the ancient blood of the sea as the last of the corners of the world are poisoned."

=== CasperLions follows up ===

The Leviathan were the high priests of civilization of Tiamat's brood on Earth. This civilization was composed of the Lahmasu subjects, those human breeding partners of weaker blood, and of the less perfect harmonies of the Primeval and this world, more twisted products of the difficult union: the Naga (brooded humanoid monsters) and the Typhons (giant sea monsters). Only the Leviathan managed to get the experiment right. The behemoths of the Primeval realm, which all together composed (or were extensions of) Tiamat, had tried to spread to the world, our world, which according to them Tiamat had given birth to. The Leviathan were successful because they had the bodies of humans in this world and the bodies of behemoths in the Primeval, they were the perfect joining of the two and could speak for both worlds.

With Tiamat's murder by the Marduk, the Leviathans think their spiritual extensions are the only behemoths left alive in the now corpse sea Primeval realm, which is just a bunch of giant corpse behemoths and parasites feeding on them otherwise, and the whole place is wracked by the Tempest, which flows through the Leviathan to this world as well. Some believe that the Leviathans are the conduit of the storm others believe that the Primeval as the mother realm is tied to this universe and Tiamat's murder is wracking it with or without the Leviathan's conduit. So now the Leviathan have the responsibility as the only things left. High priests left now with the gods dead, they have a responsibility to avenge their mother, to calm the Tempest, and for the actions their mad kin the gigantic Typhons and the Naga race perform without guidance from the mother.
