Kumlaren Gods:
When Averan turned his back on the twelve, he upset a lot of people. When he stuck to it even after founding Druvir, it caused some dissension, much of which
still hasn't subsided even today, centuries later.
While the twelve live on mostly as mythology and legends of a people long past, thereis a predominant
The fumdamental Creation Myth:
First came Ena, the Eternal Shadow, always pregnant, mother of all that is and all that will be.
Ena slept in the nothing, and in her dreams, she yearned for something else. But she knew not what else there could be beyond herself. In order to understand "otherness", Ena dismembered herself into three Vesmas:
- Lisma, The Flame
- Siena, the Empty Wall
- Lita, the Obscure,(never seen but always there)
What we call reality is but the moving shadows on the body of Siena, formed by the light of Lisma on Lita. Without Lisma, there is no shadow-play. Without Lita, there is no shadow. Without Siena, there is no canvas on which the shadows are cast.
Reality is a delicate balance of all three: the light, the canvas an the dark between.
Averan, when he turned his back on the twelve resurrected the recognition of the Ancient Gods, the triad-mothers. Gemin, as First Sage, was required to push the orthodoxy of the mother-triad. To some extent, he was able to work in his own dualistic views into the shadow/flame analogy, lessening the relative importance and acknowledgement of Siena, the Empty Wall, the canvas on which reality plays out.
