Etanian Mythology

[Relairah]

This was Chimaera's god

Name: Kyaneos
Other names: Neo, Secret Deathbringer
God of: Poison and toxins
Abilities: He is the one who taints herbs to bring them a poisonous and toxic bite. He is also the one that gave some such creatures the ability to poison others, for he is the father of the Poison spirits that one can absorb and harness the magik of.
Personality: Being the malicious father of poison, he is cold and unforgiving. He is the friend to a murderer and a teacher to a herbalist or healer. He is quiet for the most part, stalking those doomed for death by poison and watching them slowly agonize due to his father, the God of Agony.
Appearance: Kyaneos is a large wolf, black in color with long flowing green markings that look like that of veins on his pelt. He has large teeth that drip with a green acidic looking substance and the same holds true for his sharp claws. His eyes are a fierce dark blue color and it matches the likes of the contents in the vial around his neck.
Story: Born long ago from the mating of the Goddess of Sorrow and his father, Agony, Kyaneos was full grown in only an hour. But as he played for an hour as a pup, he tained the plants and animals with the touch of his paw or nose, and so became the poisonous and toxic plants and animals of the world.

He quickly became friends to murderers, offering them an easier way to kill those they wanted dead and so came his fathers idea to make the poisons and toxins agonizing to the victim. Later those who sought his knowledge on poisonous herbs and what not came to him to attain his knowledge and they then passed it on to their young.
Misc: Often in hopes of gaining Kyaneos' knowledge, people will crush bitter almonds and spread them around their home, for the smell attracts him since it smells of cyanide. Those that wish to ward him off often will spread salt if they fear poisoning.

Name: Aila
Other names: Orfae
God of: Light and Goodwill
Abilities: She brings light in a darkened place and with her presence, creatures will feel hopeful and happy. Also, she is the bringer of good things, not fortune or luck, which comes by chance, but rather the simple or grand things which individuals might work for and earn.
Personality: Aila is an optimistic goddess, believing in the good in most creatures. She is often understanding and helpful, though she favors those with an honest and hardworking heart rather than lazy creatures. She helps those who are willing to help themselves. She is eager to offer a hand to those who have a good heart and are simply lost and seeking the way to go, and is encouraging.
Appearance: She is said to be one of various animals somewhat humanoid shaped with angelic features. She has a lioness' face and body with a long, peacock-like tail. Her limbs have both golden fur and feathers and extend to human-like hands. She has brilliant golden feathers across her body that grow paler to stark white as they fan along her large wings. She has soft eyes, a creamy color and seems to emanate a certain glow.
Story: In the beginning, Etanus created her for the sake of those lost whether in literal or figurative darkness. He sent her so that when she spreads her wings and flies, she will shine light for those lost to follow or to reward those who work for a goal.

Name: Ganesh
Other names: The Great Owl, Sage
God of: Wisdom, Strategy, and Knowledge
Abilities: He can give someone insight or direction and also grant a greater span of knowledge/wisdom in order to enhance someone's mind.
Personality: He is a rather reserved god, in some ways believing himself to be superior to others though also rather helpful to seekers of knowledge. He is not one to go out of his way or on his own accord to find others, but prefers they come to him. Nevertheless, for those who find him and are found worthy, he has been said to give them much.
Appearance: Said to take the form of an owl, he has brown feathers, rimmed in a silvery color. He has large purple eyes, deep and knowing.
Story: In the early days, Etanus felt he needed someone he might discuss things with and thus made from one of his feathers, Ganesh, a wise and knowledgeable owl. At first, they spent much time talking and learning from each other, Ganesh often giving Etanus new ideas for things to create or suggestions of possible things to happen in the world. However, one day, Ganesh was flying and discovered he could also grant knowledge and wisdom to others and help different races progress and grow. At times, he will go on such flights in order to advance the world, but he still spends much of his time with Etanus.
Misc: Creatures will often burn various types of herbs in his honor and in hopes of finding him or drawing him near. Also, it is said that when he flies, should one of his feathers fall over your head, or you catch one, you will be granted knowledge and learning in some way.

Name: Jadeth
Other names: Jade, Green Monster
Goddess of: Envy
Abilities: To create feelings of envy within creatures toward others. She is known to pit creatures against each other and create destructive results.
Personality: True to her reign, she is an envious goddess, easily angered over petty or greater things and also unforgiving. She is a seductress, often pulling others into her lull of promises in order to destroy them for whatever they might have. She is selfish and unsatisfied, always wishing for more no matter what she has. Other gods have sometimes made deals with her for aid in something which they ended up regretting. She will aid as long as she sees fit or amusing, and then will seek to destroy the other and have all the gain for herself.
Appearance: She is said to be a shapeshifter, taking on the form of different reptilian creatures, sometimes a dragon, sometimes a large lizzard, and sometimes a great serpent. Also, she can take on the form of a human with scales running along her body. On some occassions, she can take on other forms, such as a wolf, though these are quite rare. Most often, she prefers the form of the dragon. In whatever form she takes, she is black with streaks of green down her body. She has pupilless green eyes and other various green markings. Also, her tongue is green.
Story: Originally, Jadeth was somewhat of a peaceful goddess, created in the beginning by Etanus as a goddess of equality and justice. However, she fell madly in love with Leviathon, the sea god, and after being first rejected, she grew insanely jealous when he then turned to Tallara, goddess of rain, and expressed a certain love for her and even became mated with her. Thus, Jadeth changed and rather than working for equality, she worked for only self gain in the balance. At first, she tried to break Leviathon and Tallara apart, but when that failed, she set to the creatures of the world, spreading envy wherever she felt creatures lost something or did not have something they wanted.
Misc: It is said that when one feels gloom or other negative feelings during the rain, Jadeth is near.

Name: Vataliny
Other names: Mirabel, Amara, Yumi
Goddess of: Beauty
Abilities: She is the maker of all things one would perceive as beautiful. She has the ability to grant beauty and youthfulness to someone or inner beauty to less attractive creatures. She knows when someone is truly beautiful from the heart, and when they are only beautiful in appearance.
Personality: She can sometimes be a vain goddess should she be compared to someone negatively, although she usually portrays herself as innocent and friendly. She believes herself to be one of the greatest goddesses, and certainly the most attractive, except perhaps Quinivene, goddess of love and sexuality, whom she considers an equal. She will often do kind things for others, particularly beautiful creatures, and has sometimes been said to grant beauty to less attractive creatures if she deems fit.
Appearance: She varies in colors, but is said to be a large cheetah with brilliant blue eyes and lithe features. Whatever color she takes on, it is always bright, soft, and flawless. The traditional markings on a cheetah are true to her, although if she is any color aside from white, they are white. If she takes on a white color, they are then brilliant blue.
Story: In the beginning, after Etanus created a face for Quinivene, goddess of love and sexuality, he had a short-lived desire for her. From them was born Vataliny gifted with beauty and the ability to create beauty within others. She also works to sustain the beauty within the world, such as the majesties of nature. She will often coordinate with other gods and goddesses for these effects.
Misc: It is said she will appear if you pluck various flowers, usually lilies, alyssums, cinnamon blossoms, hibiscus', magnolias, oleanders, orchids, pear blossoms, statice blossoms, wisterias, or xeranthemums and toss them in the air.

These were eightball's gods

Name:
Azure

Other names:
Azure of the Northern Sky, The Cloud Leviathan, The Father or The Gaudian

God of: Sky, Clouds and Quests

Abilities:
Cloud Manipulation ~ Depending on the situation and his mood Azure shifts the clouds to his will. One moment it could be clear and sunny, and the next dark clouds reign the sky.
Phasing ~ As told in legend when the worth human seeks the great Azure of the Northern Sky he appears in the form of a great armoured warrior. This is on rare occasion and he is almost always in his Leviathan form.
Insight ~ Azure has the gift to bestow a worthy being a quest if they so choose. One this is done the outcome is decided by fate and decision. All Azure does is put the being on a journey to answer ther question or wish.

Personality:
Besides his fellow gods and godesses Azure is misrepresented or understood sometimes. In his true nature Azure is strong, brave, fair, and a great leader. He will always speak the word of truth and rarely ever yells but never whispers either. His voice is loud yet not obnoxious. When he talks people listen, when he makes a decision it usualy goes unquestioned. He can give great guidence and is a loyal being. This god would never commit such an act that would leave things un-just or that would intentionaly hurt others (unless in a war etc). Azure is understanding and listens well. He does not speak too many words but he is not quiet either. He is very content with observing a situation rather than interviening unless needed but he isnt seen as a loner or silent. He is very righteous and insightful wich is why many pray to him for an answer. Little words are needed to describe someone such as him but what little that are said mean alot.

Appearance:
Leviathan form ~ (Dont confuse him with a dragon, he is not. And click the link for this one or it might stretch the page)
www.elfwood.com/art/d/r/dragonsun24//Flying_Dragon_Of_The_Golden_Sky.jpg

Warrior form ~

Legend:
Born From Thunder And Sky: As legend goes there was a raging storm enveloping the world many millenia ago. The winds were so harsh they slived through the thickest trees, tsunamis rose and flooded the earth, smoke from fires blackened the skies and thunder and rain fought against eachother above. It was said a legendary human warrior prayed to the gods for power. The gods did so enchanting the sword before the great warrior hauled it towards the clouds. Upon slicing the black clouds lighting cracked down lighting the sword before a massive flash of lightning blinded the world for many minutes. As the world began to see again the tsunamis retreated back to the ocean, the fires died to nothing, the winds siezed and the clouds grew lighter as rain and thunder erased. The people looked to the sky as a giant golden beast dipped under the sky reaching many miles in length. With a mighty roar it disapeared back from once it came never to be seen again more many years after.
It is said in stories that the blade after being electricuted had taken the form of a live leviathan known as Azure of the Northern Sky and that the beast had reversed all the damage. The warrior who cast the blade to the clouds was never seen again and is said to be the soul of the great god.

Misc: The first week of January every year beings pay tribute to the great Azure and remember the lost ones who died in his creation with a great festival. The people have beautiful feasts and drink red wine every night for dinner. There are fantastic pheonix races and re-enacts of the legends. Gifts in honor of Azure and the warrior are sold (pretty much the same thing ^^) and there are great activities and competitions. A fun time for all.

Thanks Ave-san ^^

Appearance:



Life:
As legends states eons ago when the land of Shinkou had only just come into existance winter reigned and everything the eye could see was blanketed in thick pale snow. Lakes were hard as marble, all greens on the trees withered and died and food was scarce. A family of bievers lived on the waters edge inside a deep hollow. The lack of food had caused malnourishment and rage in many of the animals. The bievers were wise and had already stored food away. Unfortunatley living so close to pack territory every few months the bievers would be the victims of wolf attacks. The wild dogs would growl, tear down roots and branches and crumble rooms. After several attempts with no luck the wolves would leave the bievers alone until the next month and attack again. The bievers were raising children at this time as feared for thwir lives. As the sun rose one morning father biever left the safety of his home to look at the fresh morning sky, he prayed to the gods, "please, protect my babies". Two lingering spirits had been watching his plea's and decided to answer. As the biever moved back into his home two blossoms bloomed on a dead tree and as they did winter turned to spring, food returned to the land and the bievers were safe from the wolves attacks now that they could hunt carribou and such. It is said that two kittens were seen pouncing around the bievers home that night and every night after. And thats the birth of the Twins ^^

When children are born it is a custom to gift them with blossums wich are then placed above where they sleep as an offering to the twins to protect their infants until they reach their teen years.

This is Heaven In A Rage's god

Name:
Afidos (Ah-Fe-Dose)

Other names:
Clymene

God of:
Celebrities and Fame

Abilities:
It is said that praying to Afidos will bring luck to your name. Just by saying his name three times in a reflective surface, a praying method of choice for Afidos, it is said your name will be thought of twice as much as usual. Though not many pray to the God of Fame those who do are known to find nearly instant fame. When sacrificed to, something small like a small animal, fame is said to be had overnight. When seen Afidos is said to inspire hidden talents, though never to create any that were not there before or to make them better. He more or less inspires people to show off talents they never knew they had.

Personality:
This God is a very showy God who practices being gaudy quite often, whether it is with his appearance or his personality. He is always striving for what is bigger and better. He does go well with the God of Envy and often is closely associated. When seen he is often flaunting about and trying to show off to those around him. If one dares to insult this God they will find themselves one lonely creature, shunned by those around them. All in all this cocky God will not stand for any sort of intolerance. When in his presence he insists there be bowing and many thanks, if not you are bound to find yourself cursed.

Appearance:
Seen as a beautiful blue bird known as The Blue Bird Of Paradise. Though he shows up as a fairly normal bird you will find that his eyes are made of pure gold, almost like a statue more than a living and breathing bird. Sometimes gold or silver feathers appear on him but the most prominent feature is surely his eyes. Other than that he is undistuiguishable from any other bird of his kind.

Story:
There once was a beautiful man by the name of Afidos. He lived in the cradle of all life, born in Mesopotamia. His family wasn’t very rich, but not many were at the time. They were all farmers, finally putting down roots and settling. From this came marriage, social status, and other social ideals that had not been thought of the human by then. Religion also came from this fertile crescent of the world. They prayed to the Annunaki, a group of fifty Gods to whom they worshiped. Afidos was no different, giving his thanks to An in particular. Afidos wished just for one thing, one solitary things. He prayed for fame, something somewhat unknown to this early human culture. He did not want to be just another farmer, but the farmer.

Afidos was a foolish young boy when he gave his life in service of An and became the very first servant of the Gods. After being a demi-God for nearly four decades he was allowed to descend through the ranks and join the Annunaki himself. However by now this young boy, nearly just as foolish, found a new personality trait taking him over. He became extremely narcissistic and when denied the position as the deity of beauty he grew vengeful. He wanted more, and more, and more. When more was not enough the Gods began to scorn him. He was a disgrace to the Gods and An decided to banish him to the earth. they did not banish him before he choose his deity though. Afidos because the God of Fame and was sent to the earth in the form of a bird. Since then he has wondered the earth in an attend to bring fame to himself and those he meets.

[Relairah]

This was Satumitsumi's god

Name: Xixho (Pronounced shee-shoh)

Other names: God of Rage, The Mad and Blind, The Blur, The Whisperer

God of: Wrath

Abilities: Xixho visits the homes of the weak and the wounded, the hallowed ground of the recently-fallen, stands by the sides of the betrayed, the heart-broken, the lonely. With naught but a suggestive, angry whisper, he can sway even the most good-willed of creatures to seek destruction in some form or fashion. It is said that Xixho leaves a definitive layer of blue and purple mesh and lace over the eyes and ears of the affected mortal. This cloth--the Veil of the Enraged--is said to be one of the most stubborn "curses" to ever afflict the world. Good-willed creatures can attempt to fight this "curse" off of their companions by shaking them with the phrase "Close your eyes to the Veil, rip the cloth, return to me!", but success is never guaranteed.

Personality: When first seen, he is quiet and calculating. Always offended, always on guard. As he continues to speak to those subject to becoming Enraged, his voice will grow into an irritated, vengeful growl, the insanity of his own Wrath enveloping him. He takes joy in watching as those around him drown in Wrath along with him, and mourns those who refuse his company. He normally calls his victims "The Drowning" and takes pride whenever he speaks of them as his army to "rid the land of offenses great and small."

Appearance: Normally seen as a cowering wolverine, small and young, its tail normally tucked between its legs, its head held low. Its volumnous pelt is a deep purple with ever-flowing highlights of blue--it gives the illusion of a thick muck writhing and boiling over Xixho's body. The entirety of his eyes are a bright, raging green, hollow and unforgiving, saddened yet angry. His claws are long and a bright silver, normally seen digging themselves into whatever surface he decides to stand upon. His teeth--also silver--are normally seen when he speaks, as he always speaks through gritted, grinding teeth (in his teeth, he is seen holding his new Veil for the afflicted being). His tail is wrapped tightly in the blue and purple mesh-and-lace, as are his ears and his legs. His eyes are covered by small amounts of the cloth. Xixho normally shakes all over, his rage shaking the flora he stands among, the ground he stands upon. His shaking is so violent that, most times, he is seen as naught but a blur. His voice shudders as anyone overcome with anger would sound. His voice is that of the many souls still bound under his Veils, distorted and frightening, almost insane, but speaking as one unit.

Story: (Work In Progress)

Misc: Many claim that if you call Xixho's name five times while standing alone in the dark with an Enraged victim, he will appear from the depths of the darkness to heed your call. He is known to stand at a distance from the one who summons him, sizing up the situation before him before venturing out any farther. One can request their afflicted companions to be relieved of their Veils, however Xixho is a stubborn character, taking joy in watching others suffer. Be forewarned that if you lose your temper with the Mad and Blind, he may see an opportunity to shackle you underneath your very own Veil.

These were FreeRunner's gods

Name: Leviathon
Other names: Oceanis, Poseidon, Big Blue
God of: The Sea
Abilities: Levi's main purpose is to protect the sea, no matter the cost. He controls the multitude of currents beneath the surface of the sea, can create any size of whirl pools and/or waves, controls the populations of all ocean-dwellers, and may create and call sea creatures to do his bidding. He is also able to create tsunamis from the great reaches of his home, although this may only happen when he is made very angry for any reason.
Personality: Leviathon is usually always in a state of some kind of bliss. He's very calm most of the time and mostly minds his own business, preferring to spend 90% of his time in the seas he calls home. However, Levi's moods are not easily foreshadowed, and if anything were to cause his temper to rise... The sea is always unpredictable.
Appearance: Leviathon may take the form of any ocean-dwelling beast, but can usually be seen as a Great White Shark with unusual red double-stripe markings from the corners of his large mouth, along his sides, and to the tip of his tail fin. If not, he will normally take the form of the great and majestic Blue whale, the largest animal on the planet. His true form in which he spends the other 10% of the time, he may take to the sky or sea as a bluish-purple dragon with wings that link to his tail and serve as fins as well as four legs with webbed feet. Since dragons are so uncommon these days, Levi only takes this form when he seeks time out of the sea- which is never very often or for very long- and stays on an uninhabited island whose location only he is aware of amidst one of the vast oceans. He may also take this form to meet or convene with the other gods/goddesses.

Story: WIP
Misc: Levi's body was made mostly for the sea, and although he is able to fly, he cannot take to the sky for very long distances.

[/font]


Name: Tallara
Other names: Tally, Rain Goddess
Goddess of: The Rain
Abilities: Can create rain and/or storms and release water from the heavens to replenish the earth and its water sources, especially the sea, so that all of the world's occupants may receive its nourishment. In anger of the land being abused, she may call upon Seranthia to create a great storm such as a hurricane, from her mate's home. If conditions are right, she may turn her rain to hail. She may also cause floods, or even keep rain from falling for any period of time. Often times the amount of rainfall may be directly related to an intense emotion, ie: if she undergoes a prolonged period of sadness, a flood may occur.
Personality: Tally is a very generous and caring goddess. Her moods often depend on how much the land requires her gift, although it is argued that they are more correlated to the seasons. Mostly, Tally stays happy so long as the earth is hydrated. During Autumn and Winter, Tally sheds less rain from the sky and prefers to stay near her mate, Leviathon. She may surface time and again to check on the wildlife and vegetation, but during those months, her heart belongs to the sea.
Appearance: Tallara is most commonly seen as a pure white bottlenose dolphin, as she does spend as much time as she can in the sea with Leviathon. Her original chosen form, is that of a white hawk.

Story: Ages ago, when a severe drought claimed 75% of the world's vegetation and evaporated much of its water sources, thus claiming many creatures' lives, Etanus created a goddess with two drops of his own blood to control the rain. And so Tallara was born. She has provided the great gift of rain ever since. Naturally, Tallara has a love of water and, as keeping water levels relatively high is one of her priorities, she was bound to love the vast oceans of the world. As often as her limitless time would allow, she would use her purpose as an excuse to fly over or swim in its glorious waters. So, it was inevitable that she should come across the great sea god, Leviathon. It did not take long thereafter for some deeper emotion to spark up between them, and even when their bond was tried by the goddess of equality and justice, Jadeth, it proved its strength. The other goddess had professed her love for the majestic Leviathon, but when he still returned to her, she knew there would never be another to claim her heart. And so, they were mated soon after.
Misc: ??
[/font][/size]


Name: Avarethe
Other names: Ava, The Great Healer
Goddess of: Good Health and Healing
Abilities: Avarethe watches over the good health of all living beings and has power over the healing and betterness of any injury or sickness without prejudice. She does not have the power to take away any terminal diseases, and she may not be able to save a life of any fatal casualty, for the latter usually has everything to do with the will of the injured; She cannot save one that does not want to be saved.
Personality: Avarethe is a very peaceful sort and generous beyond imagining. She is quick to give free of herself so that others may live happy and healthy, though how they treat their bodies afterward is their own choice. However, should anyone abuse her generosity too much, she will not take it lightly and may choose to hold back in the future with said abuser.
Appearance: Always takes the form of a clouded leopard.

Story: WIP (help?)
Misc: ??

This is Moon_Song's god. I'm continuing the Harvest idea because there are human/anthro villages around the wolf territories that would partake in Harvest and may or may not have stories of god sightings

Name: Sumaria (Su-ma-ria)

Other names:
Fall, Fay

Goddess of:
Harvest

Abilities:
With the proper tribute, as well as adequate care and attention given to the earth, Sumaria can and will ensure a good harvest. Some say that if you stay up late enough and look out over a flat plain under a harvest moon, you can see the figure of a woman dancing around, or little sparkles of orange light that trail over the horizon. This is Sumaria blessing the stores of all creatures with her special soil which she cultivates herself. She also has the ability to aide the gently changing of the seasons from summer to fall to winter, as well shape-shift.

Personality:
Sumaria is a neutral being. She is neither Excessively kind, nor overly vengeful. She has, at times, been mistaken for an Earth Goddess, and at those times, she has a tendency to become angered. She is strong willed and despises being mistaken or confused with other deities. So long as those who believe in her are respectful and give the earth what it needs, she will bless them. If they do not, she will pass over their caches and let the elements wither them away, if they so will it.

Appearance:
Sumaria does no have a single form, as there are many forms of harvest, although she is commonly represented in stories by an acorn, or an ancient oak tree laden with nuts and fruits that, even in darkness, gives off an aura of orange, gold, and yellow light. This form of Sumaria is said to be upon an hill far from mortal reach. Her trunk is supposed to be so big around, it would take twenty minutes just to walk around it, and so tall that she breaches the heavens and that is where some of the gods get their food from.

One other form of this Goddess is said to be a fairy. She can be either very small, easily mistaken for a butterfly, or the size of a human woman. Her hair is a deep black, as are her wings, but with orange ends. Upon her head there is a wreath of autumn ripened grains, and her dress is of splendid red satin.



Story:
Long ago, the Goddess Mitanee discovered she could make a gradual change to the weather. In doing so, she created the season know as Fall, or Autumn. Soon after this, Sumaria was born from an acorn that had grown to maturity in the new season. The acorn cracked open to reveal a slumbering little fairy. She was found there by Mitaniee soon after, and taken into her care. The dragon let Sumaria help in the turning of the season, in that she would watch over the food stores of all the creatures who put away sustenance for winters long, harsh bite, or even for short term storage.


Misc:
The acorn from which she was born is also the acorn from which her tree form grew from.
To those who wish to have their food stores kept safe and/or blessed by Sumaria, they will give offerings of various fruits and nuts such as apples and acorns.

One legend says that if a mortal were to find Sumaria's tree, and take a leaf or acorn from it, they would be able store anything for however long they had it, but they must have the momento on them always. One other legend says that the only way to kill her is to cut down her tree.

[Vivid]

Name: Ashbelle
Other names: Ash, Belle, Mother
Goddess of: Fire and flame

Abilities:
She is able to cause destruction with her flames even in the pouring rain, accompanying a lightning strike hitting a tree, or simply by brute force. Her life span in infinite, and if by chance she happens to be struck down, she will be reborn from the ashes much like a phoenix.

Personality:
A mother figure, Ashbelle cares for all of her children equally. She is gentle and caring, yet stern when teaching lessons. She wishes the best for all her children, and tries to provide them with skills and abilities that will ensure their lives. Like most mothers, she is very protective of her children and has been known to interfere if something goes wrong, whether that is increasing their power, or using her own powers. However, she knows that sometimes lessons must be learned, and if she believes it is an important lesson, she'll let the scene play out without interfering.

Appearance:
A bushy furred red squirrel who is only slightly larger than her earth roaming counterparts. Her ears are long and her tail is always on fire, her paws small and able to work delicately. Her eyes are crimson with a black pupil, beady but full of love and compassion most times, as stern as her attitude when teaching a lesson other times.

Story:
As the world came to be, created by Etanus, so was the goddess of fire. From the darkness her ashes smouldered, and the great winds that blew across the open fields of earth, now filled with the light of the sun, fed her hunger. Born from those ashes, was the goddess of Fire, Ashbelle. Created for the purpose of destruction, Ashbelle could destroy whole fields with a spark, but what no one expected, was that her destruction gave birth to new life. New plants grew, giving life to forests, and flowers sprouted up in ash filled fields. Animals relocated and helped each other grow; It was then that she was given the title of mother, one who gave birth to new life, and new gods.

She was called upon time and time again when the world needed to be refreshed, and over time, the dull scenery blossomed into beauty. Thick lush forests covered the land, fertile fields gave life to new flowers and plants. What was once very plain and small grew taller and stronger, and eventually she decided to share her powers with those below her watchful eyes. Fire magic was given to children she chose, and through their first few years of life, she silently taught them how to control the flames inside. She gave them certain abilities and nurtured them as well as their birth parents, eventually letting them go on their own, to learn their own lessons about what they were given. Yet despite letting them go, she still watches all of her children and tries to help if they are in need, because no matter how old, they will always be her babies.

Misc:
-She could be considered the mother of many other gods due to her power of creation.
-Sometimes she wears a mask of white with intricate burnt designs.
-It is said that she has been seen wandering through forests or fields in search of nuts and berries before they spontaneously become alight.
