Gohnasenthi (GO-nuh-SENN-thee)
Gohnasenthi is the primordial abyss or darkness deity in eisorcei tradition. Typically it is represented as a genderless, often bodiless force of emptiness, darkness, and 'potential', and as something that surrounds its counterpart, Aibuynethi.
Although respected in its own right and seen as necessary for balance, it is also seen as something to be cautious of. This is most evidenced in the eisorcei origin myth of The Long Dance of Plut'kesh, in which -- envious of its counterpart's ability to manifest -- it tricks Aibuynethi into creating sentient creatures that Gohnasenthi can then take root in, which eisorcei interpret as living beings' inherent potential to do harm or have dark thoughts.
Like nearly all eisorcei beliefs, Gohnasenthi exists as an oral tradition. Physically portraying the deity in either written words, art, or otherwise is seen as purposeless verging on trivialization. A clutch's himazé is crucial in passing on these beliefs and teachings given their strange, innate ability to intuit the truth of them from one generation to the next.
