I’m falling behind but I’m at least getting this out so I don’t drag too far behind.
Day 12 was Love Interest, so why not explore how we got the Aeosan god of love in the first place, huh?
Asa, the Star Mother, the Life-Breather, Mistress of the Seas, Bringer of Storms and Queen of the Gods, was born of the Great Light that brought into being all things. It is said she spent countless eons traversing the infant universe, and seeking beauty, crafted fiery jewels in the heavens which we call stars. But even surrounded by light and warmth, she was alone. In her loneliness, she searched the universe anew.
She was the goddess of beginnings, and all beginnings too have ends. Life cannot exist without death. Warmth without cold.
Sethis, the Life-Reaper, it is said, grew from the First Shadow, cast upon the appearance of the Great Light.
They were each other’s missing piece, the completion of a whole. Their existence was bound to one another, and together, alongside Kleon, the Timeless One, they went about crafting the planes of our world.
Asa brought forth the first simple life, and watched with wonder and happiness as it grew and learned. She watched it change itself, watched it become better and more marvelous, until it took the forms we know. The form of elf and human, dwarf and orc, and so on.
And with this new life, this life that could for the first time look upon their creator and know its beginnings and its purpose, came new great beings.
The first to awaken was Bakuna, The Tree-lord, Herald of Harvests, Master of the Hunt, and the Watchful Moon. From the world’s first tree he was born, and mastered the wilds and the plants of the lands. He walked forth and gave the gift of seeds to the small mortals, as well as the knowledge of the great beasts and how to hunt them. For this, he was given his place among the gods.
Next was Plathos, the Knowing Annals, the Lord of Stone, and the Wise Seer. From the first mountain, he was born of the immovable stone. To mortals, he gave the first languages, taught them to record their stories and histories, and showed them how to wield magic and to shape the stones to build great structures. For this, he was given his place among the gods.
Orinea awoke next, the Mistress of Fate, the Cast Die, and the Decadent Lady. Beneath the earth, a great and glittering metal was discovered and brought as an offering to Asa. As the light of the sun shone down on the metal, it warped and shaped itself into the form of a beautiful woman. It was Orinea who taught the mortals of beauty, and brought them great wealth in gold and luck, and it was her likeness that adorned the first coins. For this, she was given her place among the gods.
Last came Faraena, the Raging Fire, the Lady of War, the Honor-bound. As the mortals learned and changed, war came to them. Their knowledge of the stones and woods and metals of the world, their usage of the beasts and crops, their magic, their hunger for wealth and glittering gold, made possible the First War. The gods were horrified and heartbroken, none more-so than Asa. In the aftermath of a great battle, the blood of the fallen and the fire of cities came together and so born was Faraena.
It was she who established the rules of war. To spare the young, the old and the sick, to respect your opponent and grant your enemy mercy, to never soil your victory with slaughter, rape or slavery, and most of all, to march to war only if the cause be righteous; never for greed, nor lust, nor envy. To all those who denied her, to those who raped and slaughtered and made slaves of their brothers and sisters, who wallowed in greed and lust, she unleashed a curse of fire, and cleansed them from the land. It was she who brought laws and justice to mortals, and the passion to uphold them. For this, she was given her place among the gods.
In the aftermath of the First War, walking among the dead and tormented, it is said Asa wept for days, and her tears created the Lake Lihea, upon which her greatest temple today resides.
Seeing her weeping, Sethis too was brought to tears, and set forth to collect all the fallen souls. With every soul in his hands, he set about sorting the righteous from the wicked, and created two realms. For those of good heart, he crafted a paradise of warmth and crystal waters, a place of happiness. For the corrupt, he made a realm of hardship, where souls would be punished for their misdeeds until they repented.
When he showed her his work, Asa’s tears dried, and an age of fertility and plenty followed in the wake of her happiness, and for many years the world was at peace.
It was then that Asa took Sethis for her husband, seeing the kindness beneath the darkness of the god of death. Their union was a time of celebration in the heavens and across every plane of creation, and from life and death came the first new god in an age.
