From Area 15, long ago.

Risu, Iofi and Moona looked onto the world with awe. So many rich areas to take for themselves! An Island with a Volcano in the center of a sea, an even larger island with a volcano to the north, vast areas of pleasant land. They just couldn't choose where they wanted it.
"I want this island" pointed Iofi to the northern island "Ioforia would find this to be paradise on earth."
"I saw that island first its mine!" said Risu "So many nuts can be grown there!"
"Wait girls! There is plenty to share, like the other islands." Moona tried to reason.
"Wife, tell our daughter that she cannot have this island!" begged Iofi
Risu grabbed the map and said "No way! Moona, tell Iofi its mine."
"You two idiots! Give me that Risu." Moona takes hold of the map.
"No way, not until I get that island and the other one two!" said Risu.
Iofi grabs hold of it "Greedy squirrel, give me the one I claimed! It's MINE."
The three struggle for the map but rip it apart, to the floor it all fell.
"Oh shit." all of them said

---

Little did they know, but the pieces they tore apart would be the places for their people and the other divines would deal with them their fate. Iofi was granted an extremely hot desert, far from the Island paradise she wanted. Moona was granted the wet and humid side of the same region, just like home she thought. Risu got even more land, just as the greedy treerrat wanted, but her people would be forever cursed as tribals and simpletons.

From these new homes, their people would build with the blessings of their goddesses, and be forced to deal with the actions of their goddesses during this fateful time in Area 15.
