First eight beings

The first eight beings, according to standard Lamadien beliefs, are the first eight mortals or first eight offspring of the gods. Each one has a month named after him or her, which are Vivianís, Gillihís, Scotís, Kenedís, Simpís, Anglís, Bastillís, and Horslís.
== Background ==
The traditional ending of their names vary; they were standardized after the Great Western War. The descriptions and origins of the beings are much disputed. Some say they were the first mortals created by the Mother Goddess Emeraldia, either by herself or through her son Daeus. Others say they were her offspring by eight different gods. There is no official position on their origin or even their nature. Some claim they were each the first of one of the eight races of people, being dwarf, elf, gnome, goblin, halfling, human, merpeople, and orc. Others list centaur as one of the eight instead of goblin or orc. Still others claim a different list.
Because disputes have led to violent conflict, most religious authorities avoid making a definitive statement on the matter.
