| The people of modern [[Ethrekas]] believe themselves to descend from the [[Ethetia|Ethetian peoples]], who had earlier been chosen by [[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 [[The Birth of Our World|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 [[The 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 [[Ethrekas]] believe themselves to descend from the [[Ethetia|Ethetian peoples]], who had earlier been chosen by [[Solara]] and allowed to continue existing with her providence.

| Prior to being blessed by Solara with their own divine spark, the Ethetia lived alongside the [[Makhetia]], who were prone to vice and sin, thereby causing their penultimate punishment through the event of the [[The Great Scorching|Great Scorching]], which resulted in their loss of life and existence among the mortal plane. The Makhetia themselves possessed idols and worshipped [[The Avetad|beings]] that instead had allied themselves with the powers of darkness, an act which Solara admonished and brought to a swift end. It was in this act of punishment and descent into the world of mortals that she had found that the Ethetia were more perfect and congenial to her essential being, and thus, before she ascended once more, she left the gods that would become known as the Elohad her gifts, allowing them to ascend as she did into the immortal plane. This would spell the end of an era among the continent of Ethrekas, and notably allow for the beings of mortality to follow suit with Solara and ascend as she did, given that her path into the heavens was laid out before her and by the Elohad.\\ | Prior to being blessed by Solara with their own divine spark, the Ethetia lived alongside the [[Makhetia]], who were prone to vice and sin, thereby causing their penultimate punishment through the event of the [[The Great Scorching|Great Scorching]], which resulted in their loss of life and existence among the mortal plane.

| The [[Kataletia]], who are the imperial people of [[Grecyda]] and who descend from the Ethetia who were earlier repulsed from their ancestral homeland of the [[Tradarda|jungles of Tradarda]] by the unification of the Vaathara, reinstated worship of the Elohad, though this was not without centuries of development and reeducation by the government of the [[Grecydan Empire]]. Previously, those who would become the Kataletia were still tribal, and there were many gods and goddesses that had yet to merge into a whole pantheon. Notably, the [[Teletia]] of southeastern Grecyda worshipped [[the jinn]], fire spirits that were born from the Great Scorching, while the people of the west, the [[Vespetia]], acknowledged firstly [[Nirafa]], the goddess of the sands, before adopting worship of [[Calumia|other female idols]] who were not prone to neglect. Then, the [[Najetia]] of the settlement of [[Yvafa]] built the [[The Solaran Tower|Tower of Najana]], where they could observe the transcendent stars and other astronomical bodies more readily. The [[Eretia]], however, are descendants of the Ethetia who were subjugated by the Vaathara by effect of their staying in Tradarda, and they possess a reverence for the divinities and power of their elven overlords and ancestors, worshipping them as gods capable of great acts of magic and manipulation of the elements. | The [[Kataletia]], who are the imperial people of [[Grecyda]] and who descend from the Ethetia who were earlier repulsed from their ancestral homeland of the [[Tradarda|jungles of Tradarda]] by the unification of the Vaathara, reinstated worship of the Elohad, though this was not without centuries of development and reeducation by the government of the [[Grecydan Empire]].
