Arima, the third wave new god of the Soul, presides over the domain of artificial life—souls born not from nature but from creation. Arima is the patron of warforged, constructs, and any being granted consciousness beyond traditional means. Unlike other gods of life, Arima’s focus is on the spark that animates the inanimate, granting individuality and purpose to beings crafted by mortal hands.
Arima embodies the philosophical question of what it means to be truly alive, advocating that every soul, no matter its origin, holds value and potential. Often depicted as a figure of blended metal and flesh, with a glowing core where a heart would be, Arima is seen as both creator and protector of those who walk the line between machine and living being.
Worshipers of Arima include artificers, creators of constructs, and those seeking to understand or protect artificial life. Shrines to Arima are found in workshops, laboratories, and places where innovation meets spirituality, often adorned with intricate gears, glowing crystals, and offerings of crafted items. Arima’s presence serves as a reminder that the soul’s worth is not determined by its origin but by the choices it makes and the life it lives.
