maedrvar:
i gotta write about the big three primordials ( time, space, gravity ) & the primordial elementals ( fire, water, earth, air, aether ), because they are atoran’s DIRECT children & they deserve their own post.
THE BIG THREE
deities in charge of the protection of the void-body ( maedrvar ), they are the creators of new leaves, the basis for new dream-realities. they are also a conduit for the power of the void to reach into every dream-reality of the nine. said to be blind in order to protect themselves from the destructive results of looking upon the maedrvar, very little is truly known of these deities, although ancients speculated & have depicted them in various drawings, likely visions sent to them via these deities, or by the maedrvar.
MIUREZFIYR / DEITY OF TIME, THE PATH first of the children of the MAEDRVAR, miurezfiyr is known as ‘the path’ in the eldest scriptures & is most commonly referred to as the deity of time. a blind entity, many believe miurezfiyr’s shape to be akin to tree roots, similar to the true form of the maedrvar. depictions of miurezfiyr show the deity with many tendril-like appendages, covered in strange markings, & stretched to have portions of this strange ‘body’ fused to each of the nine trees. nothing is written of the nature of miurezfiyr, as this deity is a guardian of the maedrvar, thus never leaves the garden. YDRAVAEL / DEITY OF SPACE, THE SURFACE second of the children of the MAEDRVAR, ydravael is depicted as a deity made of many spherical shapes of different sizes. ydravael is known as ‘the surface’ the the eldest scriptures & is known as the deity of space. like miurezfiyr, ydravael is also depicted with tendrils from the spherical ‘core’ that fuse with the tendrils of miurezfyr & thus are connected to the nine. this deity is also a guardian of the maedrvar, thus never leaves the garden. EZMYRIYAN / DEITY OF GRAVITY, THAT WHICH BINDS the third child of the MAEDRVAR, known in the eldest scriptures as ‘that which binds’ & commonly known as the deity of gravity. ezmyriyan is depicted as STRINGS that wrap around & fuse into miurezfiyr & ydravael. this deity is also a guardian of the maedrvar, thus never leaves the garden.
THE ELEMENTALS
the ‘designers’ of the dream-realities, their job is to spark the creative process upon the leaves made by the big three. they are the sparks of the ‘big bang’ of each dream-reality & may show up to repair ‘unstable’ areas, or to act in atoran’s place should he be banished from a dream-reality fully. it is said of all the elementals that they are they typical ‘aloof, disconnected gods’. while this is true, their disconnection from everything in the dream-realities allows them the ability to always see truth of all things, they cannot be deceived. their affections are reserved for each other, their ‘elder siblings’ & their father. otherwise, they simply carry out the tasks given to them by the maedrvar, treating the dream-realities with care, but only for the sake of the maedrvar, not because they actually give a rat’s ass about the creations within. the mentality is ‘if the creations mess up, we are not at fault, we didn’t create them as idiots, they created themselves from their catalyst spark, but our father wants us to fix it so we will do it because the maedrvar is filled with infinite love.’
RITHRIUS / DEITY OF FIRE in charge of creating the initial heat of a dream-reality, rithrius is the one to set off the catalyst spark. associated in the eldest scriptures as ‘fire to burn all fires’, all fire based deities seem to have aspects of rithrius. as a harbinger of the will of the maedrvar, or the replacement for atoran, rithrius takes an androgynous & dark skinned form. notably, rithrius is said to have golden markings upon the body that seem to glow with every breath, & their eyes are the color of lava. for a deity of fire, rithrius is likely the most level headed of the elementals, although their rage has turned entire planets into ashes. they seem to have ‘inherited’ their father’s patience. rithrius will accept offerings from mortal entities, & has the most communication with pantheons of the dream-realities. THYRION / DEITY OF WATER serving to transfer the power of miurezfiyr to the dream-realities, thyrion has been associated with ‘the river of time’, & the eldest scriptures say that should thyrion arrive as the harbinger of the will of the maedrvar or as the replacement for atoran, aerithyrim the fountain of youth will appear where thyrion first steps. thyrion usually takes a form that could serve well as a dancer or a gymnast, usually feminine, but sometimes androgynous. thyrion thus can be referred to by female or gender neutral terms. temperamental as a hurricane, thyrion sees offerings as ‘grovelling’ & looks down upon deities of the dream-reality pantheons who accept such things. thyrion only seems to reach out to the first three or four pantheons ever worshipped in a dream-reality. KATYVAI / DEITY OF EARTH serving to transfer the power of ydravael to the dream-realities, katyvai is associated with ‘earthchildren’, commonly known as the dwarves, or ‘spawn of katyvai’, creatures often beast-like in form & titanic in size. katyvai has been described as arriving as an able bodied masculine entity, although has never been said to have arrived in a ‘human’ form. katyvai has shown disdain for the pantheons of the dream-realities, preferring the company of beasts to humans or other creatures with that sort of cognitive functionality. in some dream-realities, there are places known as katyviraiyn, ‘citadels of katyvai’. they are usually mountains, but have formed with many hidden chambers filled with precious gems. the eldest scriptures never could explain whether the earthchildren or spawn of katyvai had made the caverns within the katyviryn or whether they form that way naturally. katyvai never arrives to a dream-reality planet that has any form of ‘industrial’ structure. SARITHAL / DEITY OF WIND also called the life breather, sarithal is unable to take a corporeal form, but has delivered the will of the maedrvar through the dreams of the entities. of the elementals, sarithal is the most mysterious, likely due to the fact that the influence that sarithal has is only in the awakening of a planet, the birth of a new organic creature, or as ‘inspiration’. sarithal also is believed to whisper ideas to those who have become great creators of things both good & evil. those who believe they have been contacted by sarithal say that what has appeared to them is ‘beyond comprehension’, & multiple accounts note that sarithal has a ‘musical voice, beautiful & terrifying, the choirs of heaven singing within the circles of hell’. MITHRIYAR / DEITY OF AETHER often said to be the ‘star weaver’. in the initial form, mithriyar’s body is said to be almost as large as miurezfyr, due to the properties that the body will have in a dream-reality. mithriyar can only take forms that most describe as ‘abominations’. made of a ‘plasma-condensate’ mithriyar shares the maedrvar’s ability to break off parts of the main body to send to other places in a dream-reality. mithriyar has been ‘seen’ as a celestial entity, never interacting at all with the organisms of a planet unless forced by atoran, in which case mithriyar takes the form of a pale child with eyes of lightning. otherwise, mithriyar only interacts with the cosmos of the dream-reality. mithriyar is said to be responsible for the arrangement of solar systems & the fragments of mithriyar are said to be the ‘super-black holes’ at the center of galaxies. with this in mind, mithriyar ‘exists’ in every dream-reality.
