Lilith and Eve

The Legend
Only being brought up when discussing the creation of the world, the tale of Lilith and Eve is one that many people tend not to bother with in the current day and age. It is said that after creating the world, Lilith cursed humans with the power to use magic to wage a war against her sister, Eve. Because magic was not meant for humans to wield, those who Lilith cursed became mad and sick with stress. They slowly lost their minds, causing catastrophic magical destruction beyond their control, and ultimately had their bodies destroyed by the magic within them - usually taking out many innocents around them in the process. Eve punished Lilith by tearing her into pieces as she attempted to escape into a rift. Eve was forced to give her life to close the rift, as the magic that spilled forth was tearing the world apart.
