The Rise of Animal Kind

With the destruction of the age of Tryanixia new creatures rise to the fore. Animals came to the world, born of reptiles and with them the animal spirits are born.

Each kind has a higher spirit. The mind above it all. The dream that became real.

The animal spirits are gods.

The first spirit, the lord of all animal kind is known as the beating heart. It may take many forms. All in its vicinity with a warm beating heat will synchronise with it. Its heart glows from within whatever form it takes.

The beating heart holds one of the secrets of Khwarenah within it. The truth of fire in the water.

From it all the other animal gods were born, with the exception of Kla Kla Kla the goddess of birds, who carved her own path from the dominions of the reptile gods. It is said that the Beating heart visited her and bestowed the gift of warmth.

The spirits saw the future and the rise of men, and so adapted their kinds so they might better survive the onslaught of their arrival.

The Beastkin -Minotaurs, Wolfkind, TIgerkind, Bearkind, Elephantkind, Horsekind centaurs, pegasuses, unicorns and many others of the animal peoples were formed from this impetus.

Kla Kla Kla was the goddess of all birds. She was born when a reptile dreamed of flying. Beloved of Qescotaal, the feathered serpent.

Mah was the goddess of Minotaurs, she was beloved of Alwe, the goddess of the white moon.

Ubassti was the goddess of tigerkind, and all other feline people.

The Bears resurrected Roijukan much to the joy of Gian. The god of bears and death. Who, despite his fearsome title, is always considered kind.

Haragratha was the god of horses and pure knowledge

Galgadesh was the god of elephants, the opener of the way.

Surraughuk was the ancient god of fish, oldest of all the animal spirits. Keeper of Ancient Secrets.

The moon goods and animal spirits were in harmony.

The began creating great kingdoms in the world.

The reptile people and gods were also present in this age.

Towards the end of the age the evil of Thardel was foreseen to be rising again.

A plan was hatched to thwart the evil.

Haragratha and Roijukan led a daring raid on Thardel and the reverse houses. They breach the unlit house.

Roijukan is killed again in the raid, but not before inflicting a wound that cannot heal on Nyaju.

Haragratha and his horse headed warriors were lost, presumed all dead.

Gian dedicates a mountain forest in what would become Bajiao to Roijukan and builds a shrine to him there.

Then came the great cold of Teklak, and the world was plunged into an ice age.
