| Throughout the [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:countries:grecydan empire|Grecydan Empire]], worship of Arella is outlawed as she is not considered to be one of the Elohad despite the purification ritual that she is thought to have undergone in order to become a different kind of being than was previous. However, many of the western coast worship Arella discreetly, as they have an affinity for female goddesses as a subculture that prizes their feminine attributes over those strictures of the Grecydan Empire. These individuals who belong to that culture believe Arella to be the mother of the Areya, spirits that can take on many forms but still possess the wings of benevolence that Arella also possesses.\\ | Throughout the [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:countries:grecydan empire|Grecydan Empire]], worship of Arella is outlawed as she is not considered to be one of the Elohad despite the purification ritual that she is thought to have undergone in order to become a different kind of being than was previous.

| Among the people of Grecyda from many points in time, Arella was alternatively recognized as a worthy goddess by both the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:vespetia|Vespetia]] and the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:najetia|Najetia]], though in the former people, there was not found the presence of a complete unity of thought. Among some of these Vespetia, Arella was worshipped as a female idol of a divine nature that presented the fullness of magic and witchcraft, and it was through her that the Areya could be called in order to visit men in their dreams. However, among the Najetia, who did not possess such cultural values of idolizing femininity, Arella was simply that goddess who allowed them a spirituality, and it was through her that divine prophecy could be revealed.\\ | Among the people of [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:grecyda:start|Grecyda]] from many points in time, Arella was alternatively recognized as a worthy goddess by both the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:vespetia|Vespetia]] and the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:najetia|Najetia]], though in the former people, there was not found the presence of a complete unity of thought.

| Despite this, in both cultures Arella is believed to have undergone a metamorphosis in her realization into a being of twilight rather than darkness, and she thus represents to the Najetia a kind of redemption. The Vespetia, on the other hand, profess worship of the being not as an example of purity, but as a powerful goddess that had become more actualized into a better being. Accordingly, it is thought that Arella bears some relation to the illuminating light of clarity, and furthermore facilitated the studying of astronomy by the Najetia through the Solaran Tower and, to the Vespetia, the ability of foresight.\\ | Despite this, in both cultures Arella is believed to have undergone a metamorphosis in her realization into a being of twilight rather than darkness, and she thus represents to the Najetia a kind of redemption.
