In an unassuming corner of this void, there was a boulder, clean and smooth, completely featureless. Although no material thing yet existed in this void, this boulder was not a material object but the manifestation of a new spirit, a deity yet to be defined or awakened. Then came the command.
[h2]"Come."[/h2]
The spirit in the stone awakened, stirred by this word. It knew nothing, for it had just been born, but somehow it was aware of what it must do. Flakes of stone fell from the boulder, as if carved away by an invisible chisel, until it had become a form which could barely be called humanoid at a stretch. Yet it was sufficient for now. The spirit had legs to move with and eyes to see with, regardless of how crudely formed they seemed. Awake, it could feel the presence of other beings. Slowly, groggily, the stone being walked forwards and turned its head to perceive its surroundings. Although it was yet to have gained the intelligence to identify any of them, it could see their forms and stone flakes began falling off again as the spirit slowly reshaped its body to better match those it could see.

Then one of the entities finally turned their attention to the stony being. The stony being met their gaze, and immediately recognised that this entity was one of incredible power above all else. The powerful entity spoke to the spirit. "And you are become the Great Artisan, and your name is Teknall."

It was only a short sentence, but the words of that entity, the words of Fate, carried such enormous power and potential. This spirit of stone, Teknall, now understood. He knew who he was, what he was, and why he was here. With decisiveness, the stone form was chiselled further into a well-defined body, and as the body took shape so did the mind. Knowledge of many things took shape in his before-formless consciousness, and by the time his body had been carved out in full detail his mind possessed all the knowledge he would need to fulfil his calling as the Great Artisan.

There stood Teknall, no longer a statue of stone but a being of divine essence, like his comrades and contemporaries around him. He breathed experimentally, his chest expanding and contracting as he inhaled and exhaled. He raised his hands up to eye level and flexed his fingers, inspecting his hands. Satisfied that he had constructed a suitable body for himself, Teknall gave an approving grunt and stepped forwards. His body was presently naked, having just been freshly fashioned, but Teknall quickly rectified that with a wave of his arms over his body. Materialising out of the void came undergarments, a long tunic and an apron, all fitting perfectly to Teknall's frame.

Teknall continued in his stride, inspecting the void around him. At first, he believed it to be useless, for there was no materials or even space around from which he could craft anything. But then he realised that the complete opposite was true, for this void held the potential to form an entire Universe, one which could be moulded into anything, to do anything, to contain anything. Teknall stood awestruck, unmoving for an immeasurable period of time as his mind tried to comprehend the infinite array of possibilities at his fingertips.

Then, finally, when the awe coalesced into inspiration, Teknall blinked and breathed, "Wow..."

Immediately, Teknall got to work. From the pouch in his apron, he withdrew a two-meter long roll of parchment and unrolled it in the space in front of him. His hands smoothed out the large sheet, as though against an invisible wall. Then Teknall's hand reentered the pouch and pulled out a pencil, and with surprising speed and precision he began drawing and writing on the sheet of parchment. As he wrote he muttered to himself, occasionally pausing to give deeper thought to what he was writing before fervently continuing. A column taking up the first third of the sheet was filled with the Laws of this new Universe, Laws provided by Logos. The rest was used as scratch paper, extrapolating from the Laws what their consequences would be in a manner only a god could. Equations were scribbled and diagrams were made, depicting such things as atoms, stars and planets.

Finally, understanding what he had to work with, Teknall was able to add his own preferences. However the Universe turned out, there must be the materials he needs to create everything he wants. So a Periodic Table of Elements was drawn, containing all the familiar elements such as Hydrogen, Carbon, Silicon, Oxygen, Iron and so on, and also containing a few special additions, such as Mithral and Adamantine, elements which would provide some fantastical qualities which could be used to craft fantastical creations. Aside from the elemental composition, there must also be sufficient order to allow the elements to coalesce into useful forms, although not order so rigid that it would prevent them from coalescing in the first place.

Such details should, however, come naturally, for as Teknall looked around he saw that there existed gods of Order, such as Logos and Vowzra, who would ensure and have already ensured that the Laws of Physics would be upheld. Gods of Chaos, such as Zephyrion and Vestec, would inevitably stir up the Universe and ensure that something would happen, would coalesce. How easy it would be to build structured objects with those agents of Chaos about would depend on how meddlesome they are, although that was beyond Teknall's influence. Then there must be life. Teknall was no expert in designing life, but that too should be taken care of, by the pitiable Slough. Teknall just needed to make sure that all these components would end in a Universe he would fine useful.

Once more Teknall looked over the blueprint to the Universe he had drawn up before him. This parchment covered in equations and diagrams was far from a mere piece of paper, though, for Teknall had imbued it with his own Might, making it a divinely fueled plan to be integrated into the new Universe. The other gods would be able to see Teknall writing away, and they may even make their own contributions to the design.

[hider=Summary]
Teknall was born, and now he's making a blueprint of what the Universe should look like. Notable additions include fantastical elements such as Adamantine and Mithral.
