The Divinity of Eadaë

In the beginning there were the gods, the y'Asalla.  But time passed, and through heartbreak and anger they eventually withdrew to Hybasa.  In their wake arose the younger gods, religions, and myths shared by many peoples, and some shared by only single peoples.  But Eadaë remains a divine world, home to many beliefs and beings that are beyond the ken of mortals.

The y'Asalla
These are the gods, the true born of the Mother and Father, who have inhabited the world since time before remembering.  Though they were worshipped in the early ages by Men and Aewylin, they were forgotten by all but the most ancient orders of worshippers.  With the advent of the war in Hybasa, the y'Asalla themselves have all but forgotten the world.

Obroë the Sun:  The strongest of the y'Asalla, he is often called the Father, and is the most beloved of Eadaë, the true Mother.  Long ago Obroë took a great interest in Humankind, and brought forth into the world a race called the Enkidai, settling them in Ithingwë, though others he scattered about the globe.  Why he did so is not known, but those who dwelt in Ithingwë he loved the best, it seems, for he granted them a peaceful, lush land, and kept them safe from all that occurred during the Eolin Age, even though he was most concerned with the war in Hybasa.  Obroë also came to be the husband of Niamha long ages before even the Yaurdwali were brought into existence, and together their love is said to be a true validation of the Mother's intent for the world.

Niamha of Life:  For all of the time of the y'Asalla, Niamha had been the beloved of Obroë, and together they have ruled the other y'Asalla, despite the jealousy that often arose from others such as Aghisk, who had long coveted the favor of Obroë.  It was Niamha who first looked upon the Aewylin with love in her heart after the Yaurdwali te Dwauta had been cast beyond the Walls of Air, and forever after she has always been their one goddess, even when the y'Asalla turned from the world.  Unto them, Niamha would most often appear as an Aewylin maiden, pale and beautiful.

The Eldharin Uncounted
In many times and by many peoples, these were called the lesser gods, for they were the brethren of the y'Asalla, and though their powers were beyond the ken of mortals, they were still as far below the gods as Men are below them.  In time, as the division between the gods and the unrest of the Yaurdwali te Dwauta grew, the Eldharin began to align themselves with specific gods.  In essence, they became good or evil.

The Ahlwynna
Blessed of the Mother and father, aligned with the spring of the world, these beings of light were to be the benefactors of the mortal races.  Instead, they serve as the generals and soldiers in the great war ongoing in Hybasa.

The Môrkaleb
Often regarded as those fallen from grace, these are the Eldharin that have aligned themselves with the Autumn, and which lead the ongoing offensive against Hybasa.  They resent the mortal races, especially those of Men, who have captured the grace of Obroë.  But they detest the Aewylin, who believe that they usurped the position of the Yaurdwali, who were the first beloved of the gods.
