Divine Goals & Aspirations
The Goddess of Sense is closely related to her brother Onus, God of Perseverance, in that they are both relatively under represented Gods as their teachings include little relating to the perpetuation of their faith. Xihana, unlike Onus, believes that suffering and most other extreme experiences and emotions to be mere distractions in the pursuit of the growth of the mortal soul.
Xihana seeks to teach the mortals of Jeharr to become the greatest version of themselves, capable of guiding other souls in the afterlife and surviving in the afterlife. Many of the mightiest mortals on Jeharr are unaware of their true selves and it is this lack of sense of ones own self that brings about the downfall of many said mortals. It is only through quiet and thoughtful reflection that a mortal can achieve a true awareness of themselves and grow their soul, as well as become more familiar with the forces that drive themselves and the universe.
Xihana finds conflict ultimately senseless and distances herself from all of the other Gods. She prepares for the only conflict that will ever matter, the return of Gaulgulis.
