Seempola

Public anthropotheological record
Property of the Royal Atheneum of Hövnís, Eörpe

Seempola is the deity in Soha Oajvolkijiit that stand in opposition of all other deities and their creations. They belong to the Soha Insu, together with Tijosalomai and Juoyl.
Across cultures they are uniformely described as incomprehensibly large, with an unblinking, bright red eye held within their massive jaws lined with sharp teeth. They're covered by a dark and thick fur that countless Oniijavat crawls around in. And while Seempola is often depicted as having a pair of limbs with three claws reaching for Tijosalomai, their lower half is never painted nor described.

Mythos

Ever ravenously hungry, Seempola stalked Tijosalomai and Juoyl as they journeyed through the Soha Norrus. After Tijosalomai became too laden with birth to continue walking, Juoyl raised their first- and second-born children to aid him in fending off Seempola and caring for the children that came after them.
Seempola is said to be so massive that their thick, dark fur will blot out the light of the other deities, casting the world into cold and shadow whenever they draw close. That's when one can witness their one, unblinking red eye far above - and maybe even spot the blinking eyes of countless oniijavat that crawls through its fur.
Sometimes Seempola manages to come so close as to step onto the Soha Hyssna, causing it to quake and sunder - bits and pieces tumble to the lands below. Jusokyahka paints the bridge red to fool the beast into believeing there's fresh blood for them to taste, which distracts them long enough for the others to arrive and chase Seempola away.

Purpose

The deity serves as an explanation for a number of recurrant natural phenomena; such as the twilight seasons and the appearance of the moon, stars and red-colored planetary rings during this time.
They tie into the life cycle of the widely feared tjaetsiimaj and respected muursamul. They are also used to explain why meteors fall from the planetary rings, and why the closeness of the moon increases the frequency of natural disasters.

Belief System

None of the bieggjan deities have defined genders, including Seempola. Gjevasudit does not have gendered pronouns, and deities/spirits are exclusively referred to by name.
We utilize they/them in these articles only in order to make them easier to read.
