Birth of the Moon

The moon was created not long after our planet was. When Ordus stumbled upon Chaos crying in front of the grotesque planet they had just built, he was filled with rage. The other stars and planes had been crafted together, as a group effort from all nine gods at once. It took time, communication, and compromise to craft something sustainable. The material plane was brought into existence without a thought, and it showed.

Ordus ripped Chaos away from their work. He intended to tell the other seven gods about the new plane so they could go about it as a group, but the world Chaos had created was extremely unstable. Not only were the elements of the earth interacting and creating a toxic environment, but the boiling seas were constantly shifting and scarring the surface of the world. Before telling any other god about the material plane, he stepped in to ensure it wouldn't destruct itself before the rest of the gods had a chance to discuss it.

The first act of Ordus was to collect the debris that Chaos had left floating around the planet after they clawed apart the surface of the earth. He compacted it together, and built a nearby moon to circle the planet, and balance the seas. The cool light of the moon calmed the waters until they no longer bubbled, and the oceans swayed with the moon instead of rushing rampantly.

Because of Ordus' immense focus, he knew he likely would not be able to pull himself away and sent a ear-splitting call to the other deities to come while he continued to balance the earth below him. They were displeased to see so much work done before they were aware of the plane at all. It became a mad-dash to influence the planet with their liking, but the moon remained untouched after it's birth.
