When the god of harmony was born from an egg thrown into the ocean, he grew and grew in size and had to swim away from the land to prevent beaching on the shores. He was so large and round as a turtle that the fish and animals confused him for land, and began resting on his back where they tracked dirt and soil. The god of harmony became muddy, and pretty soon he grew large and heavy with trees, grass, and flowers growing out of his back.
Eventually, the god of harmony became tired and took a rest in a large empty ocean. From here he was comfortable and decided to settle permanently. He attracted people to his back to guard him, who became the indigenous people of the continent. He also provided an environment for unique flora and fauna to develop.
Even now certain people born in North America are personally chosen by the god of harmony. Despite the oppressive governments and troubles they are chosen either to protect the environment or to help the land or people in some way.
