Creation Story
Blib Blob has its own official creation myth:
'In the begging, there were the nine Ribbons. Their callings were the fundamental natures: of Truth, Time, Magic, Life, Water, Light, Fortune, Friendship and Happiness. Together they became the Great Ribbon, perfect in every facet. Combining their forces the Ribbons created the universe and bestowed upon it the gift of unity and order.
'However in the dark corners of the void lurked the evil forces of the Anti-Ribbons: of Lies, Regret, Disappointment, Death, Drought, Shadows, Hardship, Fury and Misery. They each of them aspiring for the prevalence of suffering. But they can never succeed, because of their selfish ways the Anti-Ribbons are divided. Whereas the forces of purity seek out co-opperation and in their despair they stand together; united against the darkness. They are as one, and the Anti-Ribbons sink back into the shadows of history, drowning in their own self-pity
'It was at this time, with the Anti-Ribbons vanquished, when the universe was young and beautiful, that the Great Ribbon saw that the universe was perfect. But the Great Ribbon was saddened, and it cried 'Alas, for there is no one to admire our creation, and it's beauty is wasted'. It was then therefore that the Great Ribbon created a creature that could understand the universe's beauty, they formed woman, and a world for her to live in, and behold both of them, like mirrors, reflected the beauty of the universe.
'However, it was not long before the women cried out to the Great Ribbon; 'O, Great One, you have given us a purpose, but we grow weak from hunger, and we have no food'. The Great Ribbon saw their plight and so created all of life, in order to sustain them. But again, before long the women cried out; 'O, Great One, you have given us the fruits of the Earth and sea, but how shall we fulfill our purpose while we must always work to sustain ourselves?' The Great Ribbon saw their plight and so created man, so that he might work to support the women. He gave man also the gift of wisdom, and formed him in the likeness of women, so that he too could know beauty.'
Sacred Artifacts
Among the artifacts sacred to the Blib Blobis are of course the Great Ribbons themselves. Each Ribbon has unique powers associated with its particular calling. For example, the Ribbon of Truth can be used to confirm or change the validity of any statement, and the Ribbon of Happiness can control all forms of happiness.
There is also the Blib Blob Pen. It is the very same pen that the waffs used to create the original Blib Blob dictionary. It is prized as a key feature of the creation of Blib Blob. There is also a shard of the Pen known as the Hyflax. The object is of great worth as part of the Pen itself. The Blib Blob Pen's future counterpart has in fact somehow been transported to our time. This incarnation of the Pen however has the Hyflax attached, therefore, at some point in the current Pen will be repaired without leaving a trace of the damage. Interestingly it lacks a secret message known to have been placed within the pen, this is proof that it will be removed at some point. The apparent lack of damage on the future form of the pen suggests that the present form is indestructible (otherwise it could not be in its future state)
