## Olmana

The central mythos for the Behs, Canis, who live in the Northeastern Everridge, it defines the Behs as a culture and influences their whole live, distinct from the ideals of Aradianism, Olman (Ol'Maan) is the patron deity figure of Wisdom, The Hound, and Courage and the one credited with planting the Deep Wellspring. the very same that Behcan Dakmors drank from that gave him the power to unite with the Drow and the Dwarves and defeat The Beast. Olman is seen as the middle born of four deity figures: Arididi, Shadak, and the youngest Dessa being the other assemblage of the Behs faith. However, the other four are not as well worshiped as Olman because Olman's patronage created the Canis.

Olman created a great paradise for all Canis to venture towards in the afterlife, to ensure they could not be tricked by Arididi's calls to her Oasis, the Olman Lands are supposedly great fields, dense forests, and castles of bone that dot a landscape full of grey ripe for the hunt of The Pack. supposedly the greatest warhounds, and all worthy Canis are there, and Behcan Dakmors heads a table alongside Olman himself as the Eternal Cana to welcome his family home. If you led a noble and proud life, you will be given your hounds to guard you on the treacherous path to paradise, leading ignoble and shameful lives will force you to brave the expanse alone.

All Canak are meant to die before their Cana to ensure the way is clear, and all Cana are meant to travel with a full pack by their side in glory as they come home, their work complete. Olman rewards the great leaders of Canis, by changing their bodies in his own image, and is the source for all Canae magical and alchemical wisdom, he is thus the most revered and well understood of the deities of the Behs.

## The Great Plane of Log

The Great Plane of Log is a very old myth about the supposed creation of an alternate place, a Mage Pocket in current parlance, that became so massive it broke into the Mortal Plane and sits upon the heavens as a celestial body, now guarded by its deified creator Ninibal the Dominion. Log is a great and ancient place where many generations of peoples flocked to after the break of the dawn of creation, and supposedly there are four other adjacent places where the Treefolk, Magical Beasts, Seasonal Spirits, and the Fairies live in a constant orbital balance around Log. Wardens of Silkwood were supposedly an order of great and mighty warriors and druids who would defend the Waygates to this awesome ideal, but since all but one of the Wardens is dead and the order is abolished, this mythology is mere whispers now in the modern era. The last of the true believers, Olivia Dul-Sansiska, states that Log must be real, how else could she have all of her magical powers if not for the idea that the awesome creatures that call Silkwood home had to come from *somewhere* and she'd be damned if she admitted Aradia made them all.

In truth, Log is absolutely a fictional account of the idea of where Treefolk, Spiders, Magical Beasts, Etc originate from as they have all independently of one another in the distant past referred to their true homelands as "a different place". Without the propaganda of the lie the Wardens would have fallen apart long before the era of the Great Houses, and the balance of Silkwood would have completely collapsed as it is currently doing. Ninibal the Dominion, or historically speaking Ninibal the Mockery, was a failed wrow student of spacial magics in an era before the Empire who couldn't cast his way out of a non-euclidean sack, and Log is more than likely in no small part an excuse for his delusions of grandeur and a way to get back at his peers after being thrown out of the cult he was studying in after being revealed as a creepy little weirdo and attempting to spacially observe the bathing lake of the female counterparts.

The faith is barely there, but there may still be those who look up into the sky and wonder if there are places like Log up there that they could escape the decaying garden of their long dead gods.
