#OH N TYTY FOR THE QUESTION I HEART YAPPING!!!!

[francarieq]

Do you want to tell me about palomian mythology? I haven’t heard anything about it before and I’m intrigued:)

AND YAP ABOUT IT? YES PLEASE!!

Palomian mythology is of course mythology of Ancient Paloma (Quirme). Paloma is also characterized as “The Land of the gods”—it was quoted as the first civilization and was separated by city states presumably: Argonia, Teroe (Teroona), Royli, Elunia and—the famous—Paloma. Paloma—as per palomian mythos—was a giant island (During the drifting of Pangea) that lay in where “point nemo” came to be. It was consumed by the waves a few thousand years after the Primordial Chaos.

(don’t mind my handwriting uhhhh)

Palomians—like all civilizations—had a language; collectively called “P’loakmi”. P’loakmi has two types:

- Standard Palomian- Mostly seen on artifacts and retrieved materials. (deciphered)

- P’loakmi (ORIGINAL)- The language of the gods and only the gods. Seen on ancient texts that were believed to be written by the gods of Paloma. (indecipherable)

[OKAY NOW THAT WE’VE GOT SURFACE LEVEL PALOMA WE CAN GO TO THE GODS OF PALOMA YEHAHH!??!!!]

——————

In the retrieved archives of Palomian Mythology (some of which were deciphered) held the story of creation. Though people weren’t sure if this was how the story actually went, because water damages, missing pages and hints of original P’loakmi made it hard for them to piece the information together.

With the little details we were given here was how the story presumably went:

Ci (Universe) gave birth to Sysr (god of the universe and creator of the gods). Sysr wanted to make another god to do his work for him so Sysr created Arif (the embodiment of the sun, god of the sun and time | “Giver of Life”). Sysr and Arif both worked together to create the stars, the planets, the galaxies and so on. Arif was tasked by Sysr to create life and he (Arif) obeyed.

Arif landed on the Earth (called “Ana’tenka” in earlier writings) back when the Earth was barren and knew only volcanoes and never ending flame. Arif looked around and was not happy with how Earth looked; that was when he realized why Sysr gave him such an important task—as to create life is to stop this kind of destruction. Arif went to work—Arif tried working with stone, with flames, he also tried working with something called “Sh’kalza” (we have no idea what that was but uhhhh), but none worked. Until Arif tried again; this time to his surprise it worked. Arif created a successful being able to sustain life, his name was Paloma, he was the first man to ever walk the Earth—well only for a few minutes—it didn’t take long for his creation in wither and die—knowing the state of the Earth during the time—Paloma burned and he screamed in agonizing pain, his body began blistering until Paloma dropped dead on Arif’s feet and let out a faint whisper as if to say “Why?”. Arif stared for a while—quite unamused—until he felt a distinct aura stand behind him. It was Vendetta (the god of death and the dead), the moment the first life drew their last breath it echoed throughout the cosmos and naturally death found its place in the universe as a silent being that remained the balance. That moment marked the official start of Palomian Mythology (named after the first creation of Arif).

Arif’s task wasn’t over and the last thing Arif wanted was to anger the god of the universe so he and Vendetta devised a plan. Arif—god of time and the sun, Vendetta—god of the death and dead merged their powers together to form a young goddess—no more than a baby. The universe stopped in a moment as if to marvel at the importance of the moment, the universe whispered in a hush voice “Azalea..”, Arif and Vendetta agreed—she was to be named Azalea. The moment Azalea set her little feet on the land—all those around her blossomed into beautiful flowers and grass. Arif and Vendetta were enchanted at what was happening—even a being so small can create such magnificent things. Azalea was the goddess of beauty and nature, the mother of all things alive.

When Arif and Vendetta showed Azalea to Sysr he was pleased. Sysr gave them the order to raise her into a more mature goddess for she will bring life to every corner of the universe once she was ready. She was viewed as Arif and Vendetta’s daughter in later tales. And everything followed with it—With the blossoming of the Earth there came the seas birthing Arnav (god of the sea and ocean), the last remnants of volcanoes birthing Cyrus (god of fire and the blaze), the winds singing a song ever so softly birthing Tece Kronos (god of winds and tamer of the howling winds).

We are not so sure how accurate the story is knowing that some pages are missing still yet to be found and deciphered—but I guess we have to work with what we have, no?

To enumerate:

PALOMIAN MYTHOS IS SOOO WEIRD GUYS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS SOMETIMES😭😭
