The Maker

The creator of Sylvatir and Thirshalon. Called Karoru by her enemy, Kunalchusi."Ages ago, or so the stories tell, the Great Master of Creation brought forth the land, sea, and sky and formed it into a beautiful world of bounty and plenty.  The Maker, loving this world, breathed life into it, filling the waters and land with all forms of creatures.  For a while, the Maker was amused. Quickly, though, the Maker realized the beauty of the world would be improved a thousand-fold were it to be given to a race of thoughtful, loving creatures.  Thus, the Maker created man to rule the world, and for a time man ruled wisely."

Mythology
The Maker is described as an omnipotent, omnicreational, and benevolent being who breathed life into the world and into mankind. Citizens of Sylvatir and Thirshalon believe that the spirit of the Maker exists in all people, just as their spirits are a small piece of the Maker. Thus, the Maker can be accurately described as male and female simultaneously, and can be referred to using "He" or "She" interchangably.

While the Maker is considered a benevolent and loving being, He nevertheless takes drastic actions to protect Her chosen people. When Sylvatir and Thirshalon went to war in 73 BC, legend tells that it was the Maker who ultimately ended the war by destroying one of the countries. Interestingly, the same legend exists in both Sylvatir and Thirshalon: that the Maker destroyed the other country.

The Maker in Sylvatir
The Maker is worshipped in Sylvatir as the creator of the world, the creator of mankind, and as the deliverer that destroyed Thirshalon and saved the world from war. He is revered by the Divine Order of the Maker, based in Fallowfield, and the Elyde Senate claim Her divine will guides and authorizes their rule. It is common for the Maker's name to be invoked as a mealtime blessing, and the Church of Fallowfield encourages all citizens to visit their holy grounds once in their lifetimes to listen to a service with the Holy Seat.

The Maker in Thirshalon
The Maker is worshipped in Thirshalon as the creator of the world, the creator of makind, and as the deliverer that destroyed Sylvatir and saved the world from war. He is revered by the Divine Order of the Maker, based in Ilemashi, and the Orothithos Syndicate claim Her divine will guides and authorizes their rule. It is common for the Maker's name to be invoked as a mealtime blessing, and the Church of Ilemashi encourages all citizens to visit their holy grounds once in their lifetimes to listen to a service with the Holy Patriarch.

Criminal activity in Thirshalon is almost uniformly punished through imprisonment at Asle Lenor for up to six months, whereupon the accused is made to fight in the Judgment to the death. Winning combatants are declared innocent of their crimes by having earned the Maker's favour in battle.
