Aluein

The Goddess of Life and Death, Aluein was the first mortal being created by Ashtar and Atavius during the creation of the world of Urz. When she saw that she had no true say on her own destiny, she took divinity away from her creators and used it to create a true Life on the world. In response, Ashtar and Atavius forged all Life to be bound by the Law of Death, so that no creation that Aluein would bear would be powerful enough to bring down this Triumvirate of Gods. Aluein ensured that this binding would be ultimately fair, creating a binding principal known as the Atma, which would ensure all mortal beings would have control over their own destiny with the power of choice.
Due to the strong ties of Aluein to time and life, elves find her to be the most appealing of the Triumvirate for worship.
Aluein has four Cycles:
⯁ Cycle of Serendipitous Nativity. All living things begin to live at some point in time. The gift of life is seen by all who have been given it as the greatest gift that can be given, though some feel it is squandered or can be taken as granted. This Cycle of Aluein focuses on life itself in its purest sense.
⯁ Cycle of Inquisitive Adolescence. A defenition of life relates to how living creatures operate alongside other living creatures in a shared environment. The thirst for understanding displayed by creatures is the focus of this Cycle of Aluein and is focused on by those who wish to understand more about the living things of the world of Urz and to understand the balances in environs.
⯁ Cycle of Enduring Fecundity. Life is capable of some form of reproduction. This ensures a creature can escape the closure of the full cycle of Life and Death by creating new life to live on past the time of the progenitors. This Cycle of Aluein focuses on the generation and nurturing of new life.
⯁ Cycle of Heartless Demise. Life is forced to come to a close by the Law of Death. How a life is lived before that closure is understood in the other cycles. An understanding of the importance of death and what it means to those who live past the death of others is what this Cycle of Aluein is about.
