o In one small community, a child is born who's skin glows slightly in the dark. There is a fight within the community, with some feeling she is the incarnation of the mother moon, and brings good fortune, while others decrying her mutation as a curse. A fight ensues, and the child is murdered, the community destroyed, with the few survivors (including her parents) fleeing.
o In another small community, quite distant, another child is born who's skin, at the onset of puberty, changes to a brilliant orange. As the community knows this child, he is not shunned, but a matter of curiosity, much as a mutation in some strain of plant or breed of animal may. This difference, doesn't stop this child from forming a relationship within his community (though he is shunned outside it), and his offspring do not show any sign of his change. This community, though, moves along a new path, but becomes more separated from the nearby communities based on beliefs....

o Three separate belief structures and societies begin to develop

 Study of nature, science, etc, and belief that those people who mutate are merely different
• attempts to "breed" aren't too successful on the surface (but relationship is suspected)
• begin to view people as a mere extension of humans

 Belief that mutations in people are a curse/disease/horrible, and that these children should be struck down at birth
• People, as they are "now" are perfect. They've never changed and never should.
• Belief that one male and one female god existed and that people are their offspring, from thousands of generations before.
• These gods are long gone, and it is our job to maintain their presence as it is seen today.

 Belief that those who show noticeable mutations are to be worshiped and held above normal men (this includes both "positive" and "negative" mutations)
• Relationship of humans to nature not accepted – must be divinity, etc.
