## History

### Founding mythos and Senus-Net's legendary Queen-Mother, Senuzh-Netteth.

The history of Senus-Net begins with it's near legendary founder, Senuzh Netteth. Senuzh-Netteth was a woman with demi-god kind of characteristics, she was a cunning, intelligent and physically blessed. It's said that she was birthed from the union of a tigress shapeshifter and a powerful sorcerer. There's many stories having her as the protagonist, such as how she managed to make it so that all females from Senus-Net would be born as physically adept as her by contacting with the spirit of the Egryoth river, and making it so that it would spread it's breast milk all over the waters of the Ergryoth, and then Senuzh-Netteth would share its water with all females of his clan.

Men, however, were greedy and tried to steal the water before they were given their share by interrupting Senuzh-Netteth, but they failed and were then punished by the Spirit of the Ergryoth, who made them wear the bodies of the women of Senus-Net before their blessing. Smaller and more nimble than their female counterparts, men would now fit a much more different role in Senite culture.

The Spirit of the Ergryoth would then quarrel with Senuzh-Netteth, thinking that giving the Senites it's blessing might've been a huge mistake, making it so that the river Ergryoth flooded, washing away hundreds of Senites, Senuzh-Netteth however, would attempt at diplomacy, and promised the Spirit that she would found a city, right next to the very source of the Ergryoth, and she would make sure that this city would hold many gardens, with the most beautiful of flora, all in dedication to the Spirit. All she needed in exchange was for the Spirit to revert the Ergryoth to the state before, and make it so that it would not bring the ruin to her people. The Spirit considered her offer, and accepted it, but told Senuzh-Netteth floodings and droughts were going to occur anyways, but gave her a tool to measure the river, so now her people would know when these would happen, Ergryometers, stone columns with markings that would help the Senites realize when the river would do either.

Senuzh-Netteth would then found the city of Senus-Net, and her people, thanks to her were now safe from the Ergryoth's wrath.

## Culture

### Gender Roles

Senite Women, thanks to Senuzh-Netteth would now at present times hold much, if not all, the roles of power in Senus-Net. They're the architecs, the phisophers, the doctors, the leaders and soldiers. Men, however live much more steady lifes, being housekeepers and servants.

## Religion

### Senite Spiritualism

Senites do not not believe in a god or gods, but in spirits, they say that the world hosts many spirits, that there's a spirit for everyone and everything, just like the one of the Ergryoth. Senites would either pray to or demonize spirits based on their personal believes, but overall the Spirit of the Ergryoth is the most popular one in Senus-Net, as every Senite wants the river and its fertility to bless their crops, and to drink its clean waters. It is due to this custom of uncentralized worship that temples in Senus-Net can cold a wide array of different aesthetics and looks, for example, the temple to the Spirit of the Ergryoth is grand, using lots of hues of the color blue and teal, to represent the river itself, and they depict the spirit as some sort of wingless serpent with gills and membrane between its fingers and toes. However, the spirit of Spring is a much more explosive spirit, as spring brings with itself the blooming of flowers. It's temple is much more chaotic to resemble this, having multiple colors and shapes.
