Veres

Veres was formed by Anyu and Taso mingling their powers together. As a mix of water and earth, the elements of life, he became the spirit of fertility, a manifestation of the creative powers of Heaven. Veres was tasked with hunting the many multiplying spirits that had attached themselves to Vala to prevent the world becoming overcrowded, and the powers of the Heart being drained. Veres hunted amid the primal forests, but the mingled blood of the slain cried out, drawing forth Mortus to content with Veres. The two gods clashed and both of them strove to win Manah's love, only for Grandmother Moon to split herself apart in indecision. Hila, who was angered that Manah was gone, sent his light to the waters of Eshid, and there Nyx was born. The Night Dragon sought revenge on Veres and Mortus for driving her mother to destroy herself, and she went to hunt the Green God. But try as she might she could not catch him, and after a long chase she admitted defeat. Veres offered himself in service to Nyx as compensation for her mother's suffering, and Nyx agreed. She and Veres produced numerous children, the greatest of which were Gaumad, Seraya, Rasvin, Ukhraj and the King-to-Come. Veres fathered many other children with different mates, for he is the urge of life to sustain itself through constant generation. Veres dwells in the Elderwood with his many children and devotees. He is revered by centaurs, satyrs, and many fiarra, though all who are closely tied to forests and the wild places pay him homage. Veldyn are especially devoted, as Veres is considered the grandfather of their race through Ukhraj, father of Grendel.
