There’s no creator god like Zecht. Some creator gods are omnipotent and benevolent; most at least care about humanity. Zecht is nothing like the popular modern skyfather. He had snakes for hair, he exhaled storms, and treated rape li
ke a greeting. Old spirits and gods had to trick him into making things. One of my favorites is when Delilah supposedly got him so drunk that he pissed the seas into existence. The ancient explanation for mountains was that once he realized he’d been tricked into inventing land, he kicked the last of the material – our mountains are Zecht’s rumpled carpet.
