The Twin Gods

The Twin Gods, also known as the Star Twins, are two deities that inhabit the Follow and the Void and are the cornerstone of Niarism. Though popularly believed to be the antithesis of one another, light and dark, the twins are now observed to be split within themselves to create true balance in all beings.

They have no physical manifestation or representation, other than interpretations by various artists across Eia, which range from idealised human subjects to wild beasts or even the most surreal creatures of the imagination. The most observed representation shows them to be a young brother and sister, sometimes as young as toddlers.

As the children of Celestial Eia, the Twin Gods were responsible for creating material planes upon existence which was formed by their mother.

The Brother and Sister

 * Gargatoa, Lord of Love and Ending - Gargatoa (Goragato'anstaa in Old Yrdain) is misrepresented as the God of Death in many religious works in modern day Eia, where he truly represents a life of appreciation and unity in a material passage of time that will one day call every living thing to its demise. Correct teachings show that Gargatoa's flaw is the inability to sustain love and forgiveness, though in ample supply. His lesson is to hold dear that which is most important, and treat it as if there were only moments left in the world.
 * Niara, Lady of Hate and Creation - Niara (Nerryth'ira in Old Yrdain) is also misrepresented as the Goddess of Life and Light, widely regarded as the one acceptable and true deity, though Niarism traditionally observed both twins as one entity. Correct teachings show that Niara, unlike her brother, creates all life whether flawed or perfect, but has no control on the quality of said life. She shows that it is natural to despise and abhor some that walk among us, as life is inherently dangerous when it turns to violence. Even the most beautiful forms of life have a second face, one that must be shown in order to birth the next generation of creation.
