Orono

The Airborne Motto: "The best way to defeat an enemy is to do something it never expects." Colors: Butter Yellow, Stormcloud White Domain: Air, Direction, Improvisation

Description

The winds throughout the world are unpredictable yet always with clear direction, they are powerful yet soft, and they are often unnoticeable but all too easy to recognize all at the same time. This is the same for the Airborne, Orono, who follows and teaches the doctrine of doing what one wishes and acting through one’s heart. Orono is seen as opposing Thairr, and this is simply the Earthborne is utterly set in stone, so to say. Orono, on the other hand, is always shifting, molding, and changing, and not necessarily for different scenarios and situations, but simply because it is his wish to.

Origin

As far as origins go, Orono is another old one, but not the oldest. With Aaog’s power declining and the world cooling, the planet became more solid in structure, and appropriate for winds and solid earth to form. Orono symbolizes wind, and when the first light breeze passed through the cooling lands, most tales describe a massive singular gust of wind that spiraled the globe as Orono was born, followed by the much more brooding and adamant awakening of the ground below as Thairr came into being. It is also said that this massive gust was the reason Thairr awoke in the first place. Regardless, much like Aaog, Orono did not find purpose or reason until the coming of the youngest Vaya Lord, and often he roamed freely and wildly through the barren landscape. When life did come around, he was there for the earliest forms of life, being their ‘primal’, or gut instinct, but he found true purpose in working with the other Vaya when sentient life rolled around to attempt to bond with these elements. Much like the early forms of life, he would guide those in need.

Orono's Doctrine

• Always do what is within your heart, even if it seems strange to others.
• Live on improvisation. Do what must be done now, and enjoy thinking of what should be done seconds later.

Plane of Origin

Yeyeres

An everlasting cloud, stretching an unfathomable distance both horizontally and vertically. Nothing in this realm sits still, though it is not inherently chaotic - merely unpredictable in nature. The spirits swirl and rampage, playing and exploring every inch of sky the near infinite realm has to offer. The winds are so strong, it is said that people without wings could even fly there by merely using their arms for direction!

Relations

• Opposes Thairr.
• Is closest allied with Vuona and Magu.
