Aeytr

• Group that believes there is an envoy of Aeytr, the goddess of chaos
  • Opposed by Tranyr (order), Ostranyr (justice), and Daerynyr (amicability)
    • They teamed up as a group and defeated her at the dawn of creation, and harnessed her raw power to create the world we now live in
      • Tried to override her influence and claimed she didn’t exist. They didn’t want to admit they couldn’t create without her
    • She is the original force, the true creativity that bore the world, and the other three took what she had from her once she made it and sculpted it into the mess that is existence
    • The more “natural” you are the better, because you are following the true intentions of your heart
• Freedom is of chief importance
  • Morality is for the weak
    • Co-operation is incidental and should only be important if people happen to help you
    • Morals are simply a way of building a cage around people who are strong so that the weak can feel safe
• Largely oral traditions
  • Stories are murky
• Currently have a small province inside Dah’rem (Aeytrazia)
  • A woman sits on the throne without a name, who is considered Chao’s envoy on earth

Creation Myth

The Aeytr creation myth comes from a combination of several poems, originally written in Aetorish

The dawn was empty, nothingness engulfed the world

From this twilight came Aeytr, and with her, creation

She flooded the husk of the world with everything

Every sight, every smell, all at once and everywhere

Existence brimmed with her essence until it overflowed

…

Aetyr then began her slumber

From the Tyem¹ came Tranytr², Ostranytr³ & Daerynytr⁴

While Aetyr slept they carved the foundations of our world

The ground beneath our feet, the stars, the world, all of it, curated from the chaos

The Poem of Fear

But from this beauty, doubt flowed

From the doubt came worry, and from the worry came fear

Fear lashed out at Aetyr, and at all her creation

The ender of beginnings had come

Yet fear had not recognized it was it’s own undoing

From her splendor Aetyr had begun to construct another world, Tzyaeriel (Yareyll)

For fear of missing a chance to subjugate, fear fled to Tzyaeriel (Yareyll)

Fear had cast itself from creation
