	Creation myths
		Creation myths are amongst mankind's earliest attempts to explain some of the most profound questions about the nature and origin of the universe.
		A second theme of creation myths that occurs in the story of P'an-ku is the idea of the earth and the sky forming by the separation of the original matter of the universe.
		Another theme that occurs in the P'an Ku creation myth is the idea that the earth or the world or even the entire universe is the bodily remains of a primordial being or deity.

	Mythology [encyclopedia]
		Creation, or cosmogonic (relating to the origin of the universe) myths often portray creation as a break or separation of humans from their gods - whether through ignorance or disobedience on the part of the humans.
		Often these creation deities are symbolized as earth and sky and their coming together creates life.
		Other deities have their origins in the aspects of nature, where lightning, rain, wind and other natural phenomena are said to be the physical manifestation of the gods.

	Creation Myths
		A world created by its deity or deities generally takes on a very different theological flavor than a world where the deities showed up later on.
		On the other hand, if the gods aren't believed to be responsible for primal creation, then they can be seen as nothing more than immensely powerful kings or empresses, ruling over the world thanks to their divine power.
		A world created by a benevolent deity still worshiped today probably has lots of temples scattered across the land, each one a potential haven for good-aligned PCs.

	Encyclopedia: 50000 Quaoar
		Planetary nomenclature, like terrestrial nomenclature, is used to uniquely identify a feature on the surface of a planet or natural satellite so that the feature can be easily located, described, and discussed.
		There are millions of possible objects that can be described in science, too many to create common names for every one.
		The discovery weakens Pluto's case to be classed as a planet, since astronomers expect that there may be as many as a dozen Kuiper Belt objects the size of Quaoar.
