Some Random Things that I Think About

All right, in regards to the fact that I keep forgetting to post chapters (school, theatre, school… school, work, school), I present another random interlude. These are various things that will most likely never be explained in the story but, eh, what're you gonna do?

Q: What exactly are Sarah's gods?

A: Uhm, well, they're gods, simple as that. There's twenty total – Kithier, the ubergodess of Fire, is Sarah's highest worshipped personal god. Shalier, ubergoddess of Water, is Emily's. The other two ubergods, Halien and Lethlien (Earth and Air, respectively) are worshipped by various people of the Teslahani religion. Underneath all of the ubergods are four minor gods/goddesses. At the moment, I don't have that list, but they do various things and are generally much more involoved in the lives of their followers than that of "normal" gods.

Q: What's "Seharenae"?

A: Sarah's Teslahani name! Seharen is a minor(er) god, the God of Death, and is actually a newer god, as far as gods go. Originially, the closest the Teslahani had to a God of Death was Medshae, who, in the end, was destroyed by the other gods for various reasons, including mass murder of the unneccasary kind, and accepting blood sacrifices in exchange for power, a Higher Power no-no. Anyway, sometime after the Teslahani settled on the land, from where they lived on the "Sea Crest", a group of islands that were also destroyed in the process of destroying Medshae, a pair of human twins were abandoned by their mother, and adopted by the gods. One was sleeping while the other was awake, when the God found them, so they named the sleeping on "Seharen", or "Sleeping boy" and the girl "Emailae", or "Bright Girl". How, or why, they were given the powers of life and death over mortal creatures is still a mystery, even to their followers. Especially to their followers, actually.

Q: Back to the Name thing!

A: Sorry! Sarah's Teslahani name, Seharenae, was given to her because she was born on the 20th day of the month, which is Seharenei, and also because she is a twin. All twins are named Seharen(ae) and Emaila(en) for their birth names and are given other names for their common names. The 'ae' and 'en' endings depend on the sex on the child. If the first twin born is a girl, she is named SeharenAE and if it is a boy, it is simply Seharen. If the second child born is a girl, she is named Emailae, and if it is a boy, he is named EmailaEN

Q: Is that all?

A: Hai. ^_^
