Nhaama,
The Dusk Mother, is the
Auri goddess of the moon believed to have warred with
Azim, the Dawn Father, in time immemorial. To settle their conflict, Nhaama is said to have created the
Auri Xaela as soldiers to fight a proxy war against the
Auri Raen created by Azim. However, the Raen and Xaela are said to have put aside their differences and learned to love one another, leading the gods to depart the mortal world and bequeath it to Their creations.
Oroniri tradition adds onto this, believing that Azim and Nhaama became lovers, but could not be together as they are the sun and moon.
The Nhaama Desert is named for the Dusk Mother, and the
Dusk Throne was constructed in Her image. She is generally venerated by all tribes, most notably by the
Dotharl Tribe and the Kagon Tribe, the latter of whom revile Azim as an evil god and refuse to walk in the light of day.
