The World was created when Bauz broke the First Rock into pieces uncounted. He immediately regretted his act, but could not undo it.

Eventually, water coalesced into existence, and with it, life.
The life of the Age of Oceans was savage and unintelligent, without civilization or happiness.
There was no earth under the new world.

Then, the Three Kings sprung into existence.
First, Susetro, strong and wise, forged the land on which his brothers’ creations was to be built upon.
Then Tanubrai, graceful and cunning, sowed it with all manner of plants.
And Kulrao, mighty and passionate, populated it with beasts of every stripe.

However, the Three Kings had not anticipated their creation needing water to live, and Tanubrai and Kulrao wept bitterly at the death of their children.
