BACKGROUND
FAMILY
THE UNKNOWN. Father.
The Divine Beginning, the god who is believed to have created the world by cutting off his own member and dropping it into the sea, the foam that touched the shores creating humankind. Has since retreated into the starry sky and not been heard from since, believed to be asleep and having left man to his own devices.
THE SEA WITCH. Mother.
The divine creature that lay in the deep of the ocean and used her magic to create life out of the Divine Beginning's member. As well as humankind, created from sand and foam, she created three children of her own, Atheya, the war goddess, Paan, the god of wisdom and Mappho, the deity reigning over the afterlife. Out of the three, the people of Sangria only recognise Atheya. She is at constant war with especially Paan.
