Mïzärn

Mïzärn mäsess pes thïspërdu dath zhïdess sädz vaakh.

-The inscription on the statue of Mïzärn in the Valgaaren

The mystical son. He is the seventh thïsenyär created by Marëkhs from the seven shards of Mazarath. His sphere is all the Andeamer may never know and all they will ever know. Mïzärn is attributed to prophecy and magic. He is considered the wisest of the thïsenyärr given he renounced his divinity as he foresaw how his sphere could be used to bring great destruction.

Divine Domains

Mïzärn represents whatever may never be known to mortal life, but also their potential and what can be accomplished. He is contemplation and infinite possibilities. He is the source of magic and the Änderath Mïzärnan; the only people who may understand the depths of his sphere.

Holidays

The month of Mïzärn is a winter month in which reverence for Mïzärn is observed. Pilgrimages to temple chapters with donations of food, clothes, supplies for the clergy or even artifacts, documents, or objects of historical importance are given to be in the god's favor. Because of Mïzärn's rejection of divinity, Andeamer don't directly pray or worship him, and doing so is believed to incur some form of "punishment". Punishment from Mïzärn is thought to be odd things not thought of as conventional or even considered "pranks", typically harmless given his status as thïsenyär. Some historical accounts attributed to him include the Flattening of Din Mäyr in which no bread products made in the city would rise and would emerge burnt from all ovens. Subsequently, any brought into the city would immediate turn stale. It is believed this was caused by the addition of a statue of Mïzärn in the city's temple as the patron god for the city. Specifically, the statue was put next to Mazarath on a pedestal so to be the same height and the two statues shared a chamber. Eventually the king of Din Mäyr had the statue moved to the garden outside of the temple and since then any bread products and baking within the city has returned to normal. The Flattening of Din Mäyr is now observed as a humorous and lighthearted event in the city during the month of Mïzärn in which citizens celebrate with a festival of flatbread made in pans instead of ovens; bakers present their own creations ranging from plain breads to mere exotic creations akin to pastries and cakes.

Elsewhere, Andeamer observe the sphere of Mïzärn with contemplation and meditation. The clergy of other Gods make there own treks to neighboring temples devoted to Mïzärn to donate as well, typically their own harvests, brews, and to partake in the temples rituals or daily tasks.

Personal history

From the archives of Äyrokh Mïzärnan: In a letter sent to her daughter recalling the abridged story of Mïzärn in priestess Mäs Shïra's own words along with other inquiries of her daughter's travels

Äleväss,

Missing my stories are you? "Never thought you'd see the day you would." Those were you're own words once! I will still tell you because I never tire of it. Otherwise being a priestesses devoted to Mïzärn would have been a terrible choice in that regard...

Mïzärn was the last son and some say the most beautiful of the thïsenyärr, but don't tell his sister-brother Älëas. The äthehlï also knew he was the favorite son of Mazarath. That does not mean she loved him more. Not at all! Moms love their children the same, just to their own shape. Mazarath knew his sphere had the most potential for chaos, so naturally she watched him closer than your own eyes do the air around you. Mïzärn is chaos and control; the world we see and the one we do not. There is an unseen world I swear of it! Ask any of his clergy or whisper carefully to the forest of Mäsvell Dinmaar and they will tell you just as I have. Do mind to whisper among the woods; they don't like loud noises. Mïzärn was also quite the rebel son compared to his siblings. Mïzärn taught his sphere liberally to all who would listen, even ätherä. He believed non should fear it, because it could bring so much good into a universe tainted by the Void. He preferred to live among his mortal followers rather than the ätherä. None were beneath this humble god.

The äthehlï were critical of him so he did not have the same following of divine äthehlï as the other thïenyär, but he did have loyalty among the living. Oh and he had favorites. On in particular... Vasistha! Mïzärn loved and cherished her. The thïsenyär nor Mazarath did not care for this nor faulted him, but they did advise him against such a union... But the äthehlï believed it would be disastrous...

Mazarath ordered them to pay no mind to her beloved Mïzärn or Vasistha and most did, since she would pass from the living world in a hundred years or so anyway. A few schemed and did not listen to the mother. Of course. They dismantled Vasistha, took her apart and cursed her to be born into mortal skin until the end of time and only Mïzärn could break such a curse. Of course being so full of "last-son-angst" Mïzärn was devastated! His first love! Gone! Dismantled and torn apart doomed to be reincarnated for endless centuries into the turmoil of andeamer monotony! So don't complain about that unruly young man you brought home during your "phase". Anyway, Mïzärn could not go on without his beloved Vasistha and this was the final straw. Their love too deep and true to ever move on from! The two were meant for each other, just like your father and I. Mïzärn doomed himself just as those äthehlï doomed Vasistha.

Mïzärn renounced his divinity in the twilight hour so none would know until it was too late and left Ursanistyn behind to search for his beloved. When Mazarath awoke to the new day, she saw Mizärn missing among her beloved children. Centuries! Centuries of searching Ursanistyn in its entirety left her devastated. Finally those few äthehlï came forth and confessed what they had done. Mazarath was furious! She cast them to the same fate as her son so they would know exactly what they subjected her, Mïzärn, and Vasistha to.

So many lifetimes had passed among the living world she could no longer discern who was Vasistha or Mïzärn in those living vessels. Some day he will find her and transcend their mortal entrapment and the two can finally be together as they should.

Äleväss, Mïzärn's legends can be interpreted in as many different ways as there are stars in the night sky. What it means to me and what I have tried to teach you and your brother is that of choice. Mïzärn represents choices and the many paths we may or may not take in our lives. Whatever the choice, you are still my daughter.

With all of my love,

Mother

Religious Views

In the religious lore of the Andeamer, Mïzärn was apprehensive of divinity. He did not like attention or being worshiped. Legends tell Mïzärn would later reject his divinity and denounce himself as a god. He would be the first god to recede according to the events that led to the Great War. This belief is continued by the fact his effigies remain silent and unresponsive.
