Origin of Humanity
The origin of humanity is a long debated and for majority of human history a controversial subject matter. During the early eras of humanity on Brumas almost everyone believed that humans were created by divine beings or have simply always been around as with the belief of most Ahventish religions.
Akkhadan Creation Myth
In Akkhadan mythology the origin of humanity is credited to the labors of the triplet goddesses, Yuru, Grashina, and Yvisto; goddesses of love, happiness, and sex respectively. The three goddesses are commonly told as being the daughters of the All Father, Hemus, and the World Mother, Firsan. According to legend their births are the result of Hemus' and Firsans' lovemaking, through which they created Brumas, it's seas, lands, skies, plants, animals, and finally as the two climaxed in tandem they ignited the sun. Firsan birthed the goddesses after five months of labor (the same amount of time required to gestate a human infant), first Yuru, second Grashina, and finally Yvisto. The three goddesses were loved by their parents, and loved them in return. But Brumas as it was did little to sate the attentions of the goddesses, who grew increasingly bored of the disturbingly unchanging world.
In order to save themselves from monotony, Yvisto, the goddess of sex, hatched a plan with her sisters to steal their fathers precious halo, Jvonna, which held the power to create. Together, Yuru and Grashina distracted Hemus, charming his cup to make him sleep. Once Hemus has drunken himself into incapacity, the three goddesses stole his halo. They ran into the woods, giddy with excitement and anticipation, each exclaiming what they wish to do once their boredom is cured. Together they summoned the halos power, and began crafting humanity in it's purest essence. After a full day of summoning, the goddesses completed their effort and beheld their creation: two male, and two female humans. They bestowed their creations names, and called them their children. Ivonne, the Wise, was the first to be named, she was the most intelligent and observant of the four. Second was Haddic, the Artful, she was the most creative and humorous. Third was Gassanndra, the Handsome, he was the most attractive and sexual. Finally was Urmastivo, the Kind, he was the most gentle and soft-spoken. The goddesses immediately sought to play with their creation, but Hemus had awoken from his slumber and yelled out in anger at the triplet goddesses, who quickly returned to their home our of fear.
Before leaving, the goddesses used the halo one final time to grant their humans shelter in the form of a lavish stone mansion far to large to accommodate only four people. As they returned home their father reclaimed his halo, and punished the goddesses for their disobedience by casting them into the heavens for forty-four days. Hemus did not immediately discover the humans residing on the World Mother until after he had cast his daughters away. He was initially confused, as he did not remember animals that could speak or create art, as the humans had been exploring their talents using the mansions contents. However he payed them no mind, as they possessed no power to rival him, and did not think that they were the creation of his daughters.
