Tala is the god of nature, biomes, and chaos along with ruins and history. She is the daughter of Samudri and Kehena. She is known for her untamable personality, unable to be controlled by even her own father, the king of the gods. She has no morals and simply wishes to do as she wants, spreading her biomes and chaos with them. The only person she would ever listen to is Vedana, and even then, she's extremely stubborn.

## Origins

Tala was born to Samudri and Kehana during the Qaran period on Osmoni. She was raised as Nara, the next king of the sea, but was never satisfied with her life as the prince of Osmon. She was close with Kehana, but had a rocky relationship with Samudri, as he was controlling and possessive of her. When Vedana presented herself to the gods and underwent the Vedanan Trials, Tala was intrigued by her and tried to convince Samudri to be easier on her in the trials, but was denied her request. Once Vedana had completed the Trials and was allowed to stay in Osmani to get used to her godhood, she and Tala grew close and eventually became romantically involved.

During this time, Tala was given a Key from Cavatta that let to Toafa, the abandoned home of Yva. She was given no reason for the gift, but used it. Once she arrived in Toafa, Tala knew she was meant to revive the desert. She began growing the Toafan Jungle and used the ruins of Yva's fort to create the Resurgent Nesthouse, a collection of nestlike houses that hang from the massive trees of the jungle and are connected by bridges. She took Yva's previous blessed animal, the serval, and adjusted it to allow for an easier life in the jungle. This became the ocelot.

Tala changed her name from Nara to Tala, not wanting to have a name Samudri and Kehana had given her any longer, and declared herself the new patron of Toafa and brought Vedana to see it. She withdrew from the Osmon pantheon and instead joined the Yvanan one, believing herself to be the spiritual successor of Yva. Samudri was enraged at this and demanded to see her, but Tala refused and still refuses to this day.

With the help of Vedana, Tala completely revived Toafa and turned it into a collection of oceans, jungles, spruce forests, and deserts. They invented golems together, the first being an iron golem called Lopako, and popularized the use of honey in redstone contraptions. It was during this time that she created Guardians, an aquatic type of golem unable to be constructed by mortals.

## Appearance

Tala most often takes the form of a muscular, massively tall woman with skin made of raw prismarine. Sandstone and cobblestone dot her skin as well, causing an almost vitiligo-like appearance. Her hair reaches her feet and is made of kelp. She is almost always cold and wet to the touch. Her skin is cracked and covered in moss and algae. Her eyes are sea lantern-like with dark sclera. She is usually accompanied by one of her favored animals.
