The Myth of Eater is one of the first documented pieces of literature on Ahldorae and is the most influential story on Continent, forming the theological basis for every currently existing religion. The Myth of Eater is sometimes classified as meta-religion.

The Myth of Eater exists as an oral tradition and as several dozen different written versions that share a very strong thematic resemblance.

While there are many variations, most versions have three parts.

The first part is about the beginning of the story that gods are telling each other. At first the story is uninteresting and gods become bored, so they breathe life into it and the story comes alive. The story is so long and involves so many characters, that no individual god can know all of it, and the only way to keep the story intact is for all the gods to work together and closely listen to each other. The story is told in a language forbidden to mortals, because every word of that language is a spell that actively shapes the world. Therefore, as the story is being told, words of gods are creating the world on the fly. (this has implications for the accepted theory of time, according to which the future is unwritten).

The second part is about Eater, a preternatural animalistic creature that is more powerful than any individual god, but just slightly less powerful than all the gods taken together. Eater can take the shape of any god and imitate their voices. Disease, famine and wars happen when Eater manages to fool other gods into listening to its version of the story.

The third part is about the cycle. Unlike gods, Eater is imbalanced. This forces him to eat. He eats a world a day. Ahldorae is the Last World, destined to be eaten last.

The only way to defeat Eater is for all the gods to join forces, but this will not happen until all gods are going to be individually defeated and swallowed by Eater. When they are all inside his belly, only then will they truly come together and defeat the Eater from within. They will then begin telling a new story, and the world will begin anew.
