The Divines

## Creation of Secunda

In the birth of the world there was a single tree (Dia Vedro), and from Dia Vedro grew a variety of fruit. The first fruit to fully ripen split open and reviled the goddess Unda. Unda lived under the tree drinking from the stream that flowed from its roots alone until another fruit had ripened this birthed the god Sec. Sec and Unda spent their days creating the earth, plants, and creatures on the ground, in the air and sea.

### Creation of the Sun and Moon

As the fruits that bare Sec and Unda begin to rot two Divines are born from the remains, Omir and Isal. Being a union like Sec and Unda, Omir and Isal marry and birth two sons, Annalir and Annalak. Annalir creates the sun to bless Sec's harvests and honor his mother, while Annalak creates the stars, moon, and tides to water Sec's harvest and honor his father.

Since the creation of the world Sec and Unda devote themselves to taking care of Dia Vedro and watching for other fruit to grow. Their patience is rewarded as Dia Vedro brings forth 7 fruit, the first and the largest erupts forth Nanna who takes Annalak as her husband, and births Elwindis. Khain, Suna, Penur, and Imlotel are perfectly ripe when they are dropped from the tree. One fruit when took longer and when finally opening up revealed to be completely rotten with a small child shivering within. Unda named the child Pyraz and nurtured him back to health.

The final fruit of Dia Vedro that is recorded to have existed is that which Billi took from the tree millennia later.
