They have their own stores about how the world began. And those that oppose them have had no time to wonder, so none living know how it truly began.
They are right in one thing, before anything else there was the stuff of spirit and raw wild magic. For the universe does have an edge, though it has grown greatly since the beginning and so now is much further away than most would imagine. At the edge there is the raw howl of magic as the primordial stuff of spirts is created and destroyed all at once, for it is not stable if not surrounded by more of itself. In the beginning the cosmos was hot with this raw magic and it was not for long eons after that anything new happened.
Gradually as the universe grew and the elemental spirit was packed together by the force of the magic at the edge conditions became right for the first living spirits. Very simple things that did nothing but absorb a little magic and use it to live and create more of themselves. Over the long ages they did their little repetitive magics, until one sort began to sing of mater. It was useful stuff they created out of magic, for it shielded them better than the distance and the unformed spirit stuff.
More long ages passed and eventually the matter began to build up into planets and stars, though none shone until in the core of the largest and oldest of these balls there came a new source of raw magic. It had grown so large, so dense, that it forced the spirit stuff out of its center and so as at the edge of the universe inside the star spirit stuff broke down into raw magic. This source of power heated up the mater of the star until at last its surface glowed ever brighter, the first light in the universe aside from a few simple spirits.
