Vuona

The Waterborne Motto: "Water flows wherever it pleases." Colors: Oceanic Blue, Seafoam Green Domain: Water, Patience, Serenity

Description

There is little in the world that is as soothing as a rippling pool of water, a trickling fountain, or even a rushing river. This is very true for Vuona as well, the youngest of the elemental Vaya and the ever patient Waterborne. She is one the kindest of all the Vaya, second to Aisha, of course, though while her kindness is offered for all, it may be lost by those who fall out of her favor. The beings who would lose her kindness are those who don’t know patience and who don’t know how to take their time; individuals who work in favor of the Fireborne fit this well, displaying their constant need to destroy everything in their path. Shallower waters may be beautiful and harmless, but one would be wise not venture to the depths they are simply not prepared to withstand.

Origin

Vuona is the third youngest Vaya, the youngest of the elementals. Water came last in the four great elements, and could only come when Aaog’s domain had cooled enough for her to even be there, but she was the most necessary of the first four. She soon spread across Thairr’s domain and covered much of the planet, and with it, came the earliest forms of life. Vuona brought out the ‘good’ in those other Vaya Lords. Aaog had slugged around for most of this time, having lost so much of his early power. Thairr was awake, but dormant and quiet, being the solemn giant of the few, while Orono simply flew across the seas and lands. With the coming of life though, that is where their purpose came. That is where they found their ‘good’, and with it, shamanism began in its earliest forms as the elements came together to work as one. Vuona is rarely seen in a negative light, being known to be the cause of life itself and good in the world, and a mediator among many.

Vuona's Doctrine

• Always seek to do the best you can to others if they are deserving of your grace.
• Peaceful contemplation and relaxation must always fill your heart. Strong emotion disrupts your strength.

Plane of Origin

Atluga

Atlgua is a realm of infinite water, deeper than the tallest mountain in our world and the lowest point combined. Many Spirits in this realm are more docile than others, due to the calm nature of such an ocean. Exploration and playful tricks fill it, and even without light in its deepest recesses creatures roam and retain their peaceful composure. A serene pool full of nothing but silence and life... a perfect realm for aquatic beings.

Relations

• Opposes Aaog.
• Is closest allied with Aisha and Orono.

Primordial Titan

Ageanus

(Ay-gee-ah-nuhs)

Titan of Water

Description

While the other Primordial Titans typically choose their forms as necessary, often a bit different each time, Ageanus has but three forms they are known to take. Having to perform duties across the various freshwater lakes and rivers, the saltwater seas, and the deepest oceans, they have perfected their images to accommodate each. In their freshwater form, Ageanus appears as a mystifying female made of shifting, molding water, while their shallower saltwater form is that of a male syrien with teal hair, a hydra’s tail, and a pearl trident with not a single scratch upon its unused form. Finally, their deep oceanic form is that of the blackest possible leviathan-like creature, often spotted only by two eyes that produce the only light its body reflects.

Relations with Mortals

Ageanus is duty-driven and very meticulous, often slow to make up their mind about an individual spirit or shaman. They almost never refer to themselves, finding their primordial purpose to be of utmost importance, so they typically don’t open up or create real relations with mortals at all. Whether or not they are found to be worth Vuona’s grace, Ageanus always holds an underlying, secretive care for life.

Relations with the Vaya

They are seen to be a bit of a rigid and slow being by others, yet this is often a misunderstanding by the more uncaring or judgmental of the Vaya and other Titans. In reality, Ageanus, when not actively performing their duties, will join the other Titans around the world to simply appreciate the life Aisha has created.
