| 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 [[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]].
