Re: IN-GAME THREAD
(Roll results: 2 and 7:
2: A group of people
7: Something divine (a deity, a miracle, something else))
The Yano people of the dunes set great importance by the other deities that humans revere, though they call them by different names. However, the most important, to them, is the one they call Aphet (although the Ossain people know this deity as Imhar).
Aphet (Imhar) is the deity of dreams, secrets, mysteries, and revelations.
Aphet is seen as male.
Imhar is seen as female.
The Yano are aware that others see Aphet as female, and going by another name, but this doesn't bother them at all. The point of Aphet is that he is extremely mysterious, and so he must have his own reasons to appear to others as a woman, and to tell them he/she has another name.
The animal associated with Aphet is the puma, or cave puma. The dunes are riddled with once-volcanic spires of rock that have plenty of deep caves, and the pumas live in them and hunt in the desert. There is a constellation that corresponds.
(The Ossau people call this constellation the Wolf, but they do also associate it with Imhar.)
The Yano call a skilled (or lucky) hunter one who was "raised by pumas" if that individual hunts alone, or "a pack hunter," also a reference to female pumas hunting in trios, if they work well with others in hunting.
