The indigenous account of the origin of the universe in Metzetta is known as [[Chulcheo]], which is explored briefly below. For most of recorded history Chulcheo was regarded as plain fact, and despite all scientific evidence pointing to the contrary, many locals still retain their beliefs in the old gods. Other religions such as Buddhism exist only as a minority, and among the younger generations abandoning religion entirely is becoming the norm. | The indigenous account of the origin of the universe in Metzetta is known as [[Chulcheo]], which is explored briefly below.

Metzetta's (almost certainly apocryphal) first Emperor was said to be descended directly from the gods. The country's mythical early history was compiled in the [[Iyagi-seda]], one of the earliest history books developed in the region. A High Priest has been installed as long as Metzetta has had an Emperor and their lineage is similarly well-documented. | Metzetta's (almost certainly apocryphal) first Emperor was said to be descended directly from the gods.
