"The Uncaused Cause" is a re-telling of Genesis and Exodus through the eyes of the Old Man (T.O.M.). The first part (Genesis) describes the beginning of the beginning and clarifies why and how the highest Archangel in heaven chose to disobey and face exile from his Father and his Heavenly family rather than apologize and work with his Brothers rather than against them. The second part (Exodus) explains how the Daoine Sidhe first arrived on Earth and their trials and tribulations before settling first in Ireland and then in the Land of Faerie. The two stories interweave as do the characters.
