Background

On a tragic night, a Mano man, possessed by Teriyas, God of Creation, violated a young Inya woman named Nevayi. As the man tried to escape back to the Mano settlement, and the God left his body, Nevayi’s husband Aviliyon Ariyon tracked him down and killed him. But this muder did not go unpunished. The Inya were chased away by the Mano, who burned down their village in the northern Soviyat forest. They traveled south to settle along the bank of the river Riya. There, under the leadership of Aviliyon Ariyon, the Inya started building a new village. After a few months, it became clear that Nevayi was pregnant from the Mano man that violated her - from Teriyas. When the child was born, a girl with strange physical features, Nevayi and Aviliyon decided to abandon her deep in the forest, to be eaten by the wolves. However, fate ensured that the child was found before the wolves could get to her. As Teriyas returned to finish what he had started, the child grew up to be the first of the Lineage of Prophets.
