1:1
Thus the tagset and the mesh were finished, and all the host of them.
1:2
And on the seventh day Bungie ended their work which they had made; and they rested on the seventh day from all their work which they had made.
1:3
And Bungie blessed the seventh number, and sanctified it: because that in it they had rested from all their work which Bungie created and made.
1:4
These are the generations of the tagset and of the mesh when they were created, in the day that Bungie made the tagset and the mesh,
1:5
And every scenery of the mesh before it was in the tagset, and every LPGR of the mesh before it grew: for Bungie had not caused them to be placed upon the mesh, and there was not a player to test the map.
1:6
But there went up a cursor from the toolbar, and clicked the whole face of the mesh.
1:7
And Bungie formed Ghast of the corpses on the ground, and breathed into its orifices the Dream of Unlife; and Ghast became an undead soul.
1:8
And Bungie flooded a marsh eastward near Avernus; and there they put the Ghast whom they had formed.
1:9
And out of the ground made Bungie to die every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of death also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of ignorance.
1:10
And a river went out of Avernus to water the marsh; and from thence it was poisoned, and became into four deaths.
1:11
The name of the first is swamp: that is it which compasseth the whole land of the Dire Marsh, where there is mud;
1:12
And the mud of that land is dank: there is iron and the dirt stone.
1:13
And the name of the second death is drowning: the same is it that compasseth the whole banks of the Gjol.
1:14
And the name of the third death is undead: that is it which cometh from the east beyond Gower. And the fourth death is starvation.
1:15
And Bungie took the Ghast, and put it into the Dire Marsh to stand and rot.
1:16
And Bungie scripted the thrall, saying, Of every thing of the marsh thou mayest freely kill:
1:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of the most basic concepts, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely think.
1:18
And Bungie said, It is not good that the Ghast should be alone; I will make it an help meet for it.
1:19
And out of the ground Bungie formed every beast of the mesh, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the Ghast to see what it would call them: and whatsoever the Ghast called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
1:20
And the Ghast gave plagues to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the Ghast there was not found an help meet for him.
1:21
And Bungie caused a deep sleep to fall upon the Ghast, and it stood there: and he took one of his pustules, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
1:22
And the pustule, which Bungie had taken from Ghast, made he a Wight, and brought it unto the Ghast.
1:23
And the Ghast would have mumbled, had it any brains, This is now puss of my puss, and death of my death: it shall be called Wight, because it was taken out of Ghast.
1:24
Therefore shall a Ghast leave his father and his mother, and shall stand by his Wight: and they shall be one patrol.
1:25
And they were both naked, the Ghast and his Wight, and were not ashamed, for they thought nothing at all.
