Cosmogony: The Eternal Lotus and the Four Realms34Please respect copyright.PENANAUBMtSQCzqT
At the dawn of existence, the universe emerged from an infinite, cosmic lotus floating on an ocean of void called Nuyasa. From the lotus sprang Aion, the Eternal Flame of Creation, embodying pure potential. Aion divided itself into four Primordial Deities, each governing one of the realms of existence:
1. Kaoris (Order): Inspired by Ma'at (Egyptian) and Themis (Greek), Kaoris created laws and the structure of the cosmos. Her influence keeps the stars aligned and the seasons cyclical.34Please respect copyright.PENANAHblBsL2fjO
34Please respect copyright.PENANANMZsfVFWMk
2. Zhyar (Chaos): Reflecting Set (Egyptian) and Kali (Indian), Zhyar is both destroyer and transformer. He dances the cosmos into renewal through destruction.34Please respect copyright.PENANAnm61oZLbo3
34Please respect copyright.PENANADJvHGsG0G0
3. Liyen (Harmony): Modeled after Guan Yin (Chinese) and Saraswati (Indian), Liyen is the mediator, ensuring that Order and Chaos coexist peacefully. Her voice creates the music of the spheres.34Please respect copyright.PENANAXK7rbtZK2g
34Please respect copyright.PENANAOBPm757JDk
4. Pryos (Energy): Drawing from Ra (Egyptian) and Helios (Greek), Pryos channels raw energy to fuel life and existence. He rides a phoenixlike solar bird across the heavens.
These Primordials birthed the celestial beings, guardians, and mortals who populate the Four Realms.
Pantheon: The Veilweavers34Please respect copyright.PENANAH6crnwDi40
The gods of this mythology are known as the Veilweavers, for they weave the cosmic Veil separating mortal life from divine realms. They are divided into two categories:
1. Sunward Weavers: Gods of light, creation, and prosperity.34Please respect copyright.PENANA4VO3xDWs9K
Alura, the Goddess of Dawn, spins golden threads that bind promises and dreams.34Please respect copyright.PENANAWUlbhlKOha
Myon, the Keeper of Rivers, draws inspiration from Ganga (Indian) and Styx (Greek), ferrying souls and purifying life.
2. Shadow Weavers: Gods of twilight, transformation, and wisdom.34Please respect copyright.PENANAFhvm3Bzctd
Drenan, the Serpent of Knowledge, guards the Tree of Cycles, whose fruit grants insight into past and future.34Please respect copyright.PENANAgqM1ELDeWM
Nohai, the Masked Seer, inspired by Anubis (Egyptian) and Charon (Greek), judges the balance of a soul’s karma.
Mortals and Realms34Please respect copyright.PENANAAZjIfnsVbq
1. The Mortal Realm (Aeryon): A balanced world reflecting Earth's diversity, where mortals strive to maintain equilibrium in their lives. The land is filled with enchanted flora, akin to the Indian Kalpavriksha (wishfulfilling tree) and Greek ambrosial orchards.
2. The Celestial Realm (Zephyros): The abode of Sunward Weavers. Its architecture is gilded and illuminated by Pryos' eternal bird. Souls deemed virtuous ascend here to live among gods.
3. The Shadow Realm (Umbraya): A twilight dimension where Shadow Weavers reside. Souls visit this realm to be judged by Nohai and gain insight into their karmic lessons before reincarnation.
4. The Boundless Abyss (Void’s Edge): A chaotic, evershifting realm where Zhyar reigns. While terrifying, it is the birthplace of creativity and rebirth, for all destroyed matter eventually reforms here.
Sacred Beasts34Please respect copyright.PENANAWEzzeAnv7I
1. The Sky Panther (Phairo): Inspired by the Egyptian Sphinx and Chinese Qilin, Phairo guards the skies and punishes those who threaten the natural order.34Please respect copyright.PENANArcXB4dgROS
2. The Hydra Crane (Sovai): A crane with multiple serpentlike necks, it is the messenger of Zhyar, embodying transformation and adaptability.34Please respect copyright.PENANAwuQxy3vJf6
3. The Sun Whale (Aetheral): Resembling a blend of the Greek Pegasus and Indian Airavata, this leviathan carries the sun across the heavens during Pryos' rest.

The Myth of the Three Bridges34Please respect copyright.PENANAVLsgAQILtP
Mortals must traverse three bridges after death:34Please respect copyright.PENANACHrqnntFZ0
1. The Bridge of Mirrors reflects their life's truths.34Please respect copyright.PENANASs6yRQLfQR
2. The Bridge of Shadows tests their courage in the unknown.34Please respect copyright.PENANANtIWNZEmw3

The Tale of Liyen’s Lament34Please respect copyright.PENANAVXbAwJf1qE
When the balance of the Veil was threatened by Zhyar’s unchecked chaos, Liyen wept, and her tears formed the first rivers, carrying her sorrow and wisdom to mortals. Her sorrow became a lesson: all destruction brings seeds of renewal.
The Eternal Lotus Prophecy34Please respect copyright.PENANAcFDUy9q3l4
