The Sundering of the Two Moons

Name: Orna Age: N/A Species: God First Appearance: The History of Ilmgral: Book One. The Sundering of the Two Moons

Power: Orna is God of the earth. Being born from a dieing star, means he can control the elements created during the cosmic explosions. Orna assembled the dusts of the universe after Livella’ sacrifice into the first planets. Appearance: When Orna appears to Mortal, he appears as a giant of a man, with bushy brown hair and a huge beard. He is often dressed for toil. His face resembles that of the Murka’s, who he first thought into the tapestry woven in Agraldin

Backstory: Orna was born from the greatest star Livella ever formed. When she thrust her hand into the star, giving a sacrifice, Orna was born from the power of Livinden and her sacrifice. He helped form the first planets and fashioned Ilmgral as a present for Livella.

Story Excerpt: He was grey of skin, with coarse hair covering him but his hands were stone and veins of ore glittered across his body in the light of the stars that remained. Livella came to the child and words of the mortals named him Orna and she nurtured him. Quickly he grew and the elements of the destroyed stars became his plaything and together Livella and Orna began to re-order the universe. From her lost stars, she fashioned new ones. These were smaller and less majestic, for her sacrificed stopped her from pulling anymore light from Livinden. Around these lesser stars, Orna formed planets. Worlds of swirling rock he formed, or giants of gas that nurtured great storms. Again, the voices of Agraldin sang in a majestic tone for the glory of the Gods and their creations but still no life came. Soon Livella became weary of the realm that is as she felt no love now that her stars had been destroyed and she returned to Livinden, but Orna could not linger long in that realm of light. He was born in Besan Gretan, and he was bound to it. Orna now loved Livella, and he wished to ease her hurt and so coming to the area of his birth, he collected the remnants of the star that birthed him and formed a new world. All his power he poured into Ilmgral, and he fashioned continents for the coming of life and dreamt of great oceans where life would start but this thing he could not create. In the attempt, he formed rivers of molten rock and the world became a mass of flames and poisonous fumes that spread to many of his creations, and he roared in his anger.
