| The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism. Thus, they relied on totems to acknowledge their gods, found within the animals which inhabited the mortal plane. In these ancient times, [[pantheons:deities:Viora|Viora]] was acknowledged as a powerful goddess whose aspect inhabited within the earth and allowed for the proliferation of forest in their land through her power. [[pantheons:deities:Lirela|Lirela]] was also acknowledged, and it was through her that the springs could exist which indubitably granted life to the earth through her very blood of freshwater. The worship of [[pantheons:deities:Vindaric|Vindaric]], the king of sky and air, found itself sanctioned by their people as well, thought to have given them their very breath and allowed for the seeds of fertility to propagate themselves into the world.\\ | The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism.

| The Neraics who worshipped the Daevas, however, did not preserve their records of the names of these gods and goddesses save for a few. Eventually, the [[library:Garden of Runaral|Garden of Runaral]], which they inhabited in a state of freedom from the chaos, would fall as [[pantheons:deities:umbra|the darkness]] had nonetheless managed to corrupt the divine space, which would signal a subtle transition of the rule of the Daevas to those beings referred to retroactively as the [[pantheons:class:archons|Archons]]. These rulers were corrupt, however, and are thought to be like likenesses of the Daevas who had found themselves physically incarnated into powerful beings, though becoming corrupt in the process. The Archons had inherited the curse of darkness, thereby spreading it throughout the world of the Garden of Runaral. Thus, the Neraics gradually and fully migrated from the western lands of fertility and fruitfulness to inhabit alongside the Ayanics, thereby allowing a mix of cultural philosophy and the exchange of ideas. From this exchange, the reverence for the two twin forces of light and dark could be acknowledged, as they existed in exclusion and opposition to one another and yet, mixing within the mortal plane. This would allow for the vast interplay between those gods and goddesses to be had, where previously developed Ayanic deities could be given new aspects as were experienced by the Neraics. Notably, however, among the philosophical descendants of the Neraics who had not been blinded by the darkness, the worship of [[pantheons:deities:aeon_teleos|Aion Teleos]] had become commonplace, though being persecuted by the [[planes:aurius:caskaris:countries:ayoskova|Ayoskovic Potentate]] as a result of the potentate's imperialistic nature. Thus, the [[pantheons:Iluayanic pantheon|Iluayanic pantheon]] is largely dominated by the decrees of the potentate, while the Varayans, who inhabit the north of Caskaris, are removed from these occurrences, and thus, have [[pantheons:Varayanic pantheon|their own, unique pantheon]], influenced also by the duality of light and dark. | The Neraics who worshipped the Daevas, however, did not preserve their records of the names of these gods and goddesses save for a few.

| The people of modern [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]] believe themselves to descend from the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetian peoples]], who had earlier been chosen by [[pantheons:deities:Solara|Solara]] and allowed to continue existing with her providence. It is this act that altered their bodily compositions, enabling a soul or divine spark to be observed within them. It is thought by these descendants that that the goddess of the sun, Solara, had [[library:cosmologies:ethetian cosmology|birthed the world]] in the beginning times, and was the divine creatrix that had given the world of mortality its soul to be plentiful throughout it. Her essential life force could then be found there, and she observed that some were more perfect and congenial to her, retaining some aspect of their divine mother that others still were lacking in. Among these beings were the Ethetia and what would become [[pantheons:class:elohad|their gods, the Elohad]], who had been gifted with both ascension and consecration by the token of possessing her divine spark and their previous semblance to the life given by the heavens. Thus, the Ethetia began to acknowledge Solara as the divine mother of the cosmos, and it was through her that the gift of life was given.\\ | The people of modern [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]] believe themselves to descend from the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetian peoples]], who had earlier been chosen by [[pantheons:deities:Solara|Solara]] and allowed to continue existing with her providence.
