Taipii Gods and Goddesses The Taipii Gods and Goddesses include ten Taipii individuals with an extraordinary ability to hold and use magic. These abilities were bestowed upon them by a magical device in the Sans au'Sul.

Origin

All of the Taipii Gods and Goddesses were originally of the . After an unknown number of years peacefully migrating across the high continent of Oriila, ten Taipii individuals were selected from across the tribes to receive a message of warning. The message led them into the , where they discovered (or were taught) how to use the magics. There quest concluded with information about the goals of the Chatoi and the danger their tribes were in.

To escape the threat posed by the Chatoi, the Taipii fled Orliia via floating ships to the lower continent of Antilia. Arriving just in time for winter, the Taipii were forced to improvise ways to survive a winter after landing in the unfamiliar land. The ten who learned magic in the Forbidden Lands reveal their secret, and begin providing a variety of magic devices to aid in gathering resources, building, and staying warm.

Some time later the ten are reunited to solve a troubling mystery that started for them in the Forbidden Lands about a missing gateway. They discover the , a large magical device near the future city of . Mistaking a magical device as the gateway, the ten activate the device and are nearly killed.

After a few months of recovery, the ten to begin to notice the strange effects the magical device had upon them. Most notably, that their capacity to hold Miiraun energy was now expanded about a thousand fold. By holding life energy they discovered they no longer seemed to age. Legends and stories began to develop from the events leading them to Antilia. As it became apparent that the ten were not aging or dying like everyone else, the other Taipii began to look to them as leaders, role models, and eventually gods.

Peace of the Gods

After the ten received their powers from the Sans au'Sul and as the were transitioning into , the Kisan gods Rakadynn and Fausaila led in the construction of a large palace hall and named it The Palace of the Gods. For a time, all of the gods stayed there and had numerous private discussions about their responsibilities and how they should lead the Taipii. These efforts led to frustration and fractures between the ten. The Kisan gods argued for arms training and strong defensive strategies against the Chatoi. Naumayus argued that the banning of Dream magic had sufficiently resolved the Chatoi threat, and that the Taipii should be taught to govern themselves. Machiiara would only express concerned about a threat from the undiscovered gateway and emphasize the need to learn more about magic and their world. Zoukajynn was troubled by how magic lead to the downfall of the cities in the Forbidden Lands, and organized a return to the nomadic lifestyle to become .

Without reaching any agreement on how the Taipii should be governed, a simpler agreement was reached - that the Taipii Gods and Goddesses promise to treat each other as family and keep peace among themselves and whomever follows them.
