Family Matters

[Flamebird]

Althanas has many religions and belief systems. Yet, it is hard not to turn to one of these religions as particularly impactful – The Thayne. Birthed from the dying breaths of old gods when a calamity destroyed the world before Althanas, the Thaynes have a tired history of infighting and violence. Yet, they all were guides to Althanas, gifting the Tap to its people and fighting to protect it from the Forgotten Ones. Still, drifting more distant from their subjects as time went on, the Thayne have grown all but inactive in the livelihoods of their followers. Other religions have risen, such as the Church of the Ethereal Sway.

Even within their own ranks, disagreement has risen over their lack of activity. One Lesser Thayne, the outcast son of Jomil, has been doubting the pantheon more and more. Yet, he is still to voice his disagreements outright. Recently, he has been punished for interacting too much with mortal affairs, on behalf of a mortal he had taken interest in. Now, he flees from the Great Thaynes presence and towards that mortal, more confused than ever.

From the shadows of the void, eyes watch. Jomil’s firstborn, Gwenael’s sister, watches as he is pushed further from the Great Thayne. Now, she sees potential. He could be her’s! Her brother, fighting side by side as they destroy all their abusive foreparents, and their mother, loved. Question was, would Gwenael come so quickly?

N’jal was positive he just needed a push.
