Vanakunir Mythos

Vanakunir Mythos is the founding religion of the nation of Vanakunir. The religion is not widely practiced, but has small pockets of worshipers in the Kush Sea and southeastern Eldham.

Mythology
In the Vanakunir Mythos there are four major gods, with many lesser gods that descend from them. Those four main deities are Vana, Mother of Existence; Nubamn, Father of the Void; Vakun, Brother of Good; and Nakun, Brother of Evil.

In the beginning, it was only Nubamn. He wass the Void himself; no emotions, no mass, nothingness. Then, an “emotion” came into his mind. Sadness, he named it - and he wanted to be rid of it. To relieve himself of the sadness, he brought forth Vana from the Void. And while Nubamn may have now become happy, Vana was not. She wished that she had more. So she pleaded for Nubamn to help her produce children. He cared not for such “children”. Vana, angry and alone, devised a plan to create beings made not from the void, but from herself. Using her power, she manifested two voidless beings. One she named Vakun, and the other she named Nakun. When Nubamn learned of what Vana had done, he separated the plane of existence into two connected halves, putting Vana and her sons on one side and himself on the other. He then created an unbreakable wall between the two planes. Vana, now in a new place, decided to make more than just her sons. Together with Vakun, she made the ground to walk on. She made the sky to hold the stars, and she made the sun so everything could see what they had made. Soon, she made all the flora and fauna you see today. When she was done, she was very tired and decided to go to rest in the sky. Nakun, jealous of the creations they had brought into existence, made two new demiplanes to house his creations separate from theirs. One was a place of fire and brimstone, and the other, an imitation of the void with floating islands. He made that one as an homage to his father, who he looked up to. The world as it is known today is the very plane created by Vana and Vakun. Many refer to it as Rathnir. The planes made by Nakun are known as the Nether and the End. Vakun represents good and balance, while Nakun represents evil and imbalance. When in equilibrium, both sides form a balance of light.

Beliefs and Practices
Most practitioners of Mythos only worship one of the deities, although devotion to multiple is possible. There are no set values or commandments in Mythos, and individuals tend to set their own virtues based on the god or goddess they worship. Followers of Vana, for example, often pray under the open night sky, and often value honesty and courage, while worshipers of Nakun typically pray in the Nether or End and value strength and cunning.
