Amnis

Every river that runs across Atlantis belongs to Amnis. She is the great mother, bringer of fertility and healing, wife to Badarus and mother of the Teros. She is not just the pantheon’s mother, but its leader, and Atlanteans worship her as the chief deity among the Teros. Amnis manifests in the theophanic form of a woman giving birth to a stream of water; in subtler Incarnations, a blue skirt suffices for the symbolism.

Amnis used Ytar and Aeva’s gifts of divine technology to eradicate hunger in Atlantis, ushering in the city’s endless prosperity. She is the patron Goddess of genetic engineers, reproductive health practitioners, and pioneers in all manner of biological technologies. In ancient times, she was a Goddess of trade, which occurred via Atlantis’ rivers, though merchantry became rare after the proliferation of God-technology and the island’s isolation; today, the only vestige of this role is her association with prosperity. Her Incarnations rarely stray from Atlantis, keeping watch over her city. She doesn’t conceal her identity from mortal Atlanteans; they should know their divine mother watches over them.

Amnis’ Scions follow after their divine mother, often holding the highest positions within the Atlantean aristocracy by right of divine blood. They’re leaders and philanthropists, unafraid to challenge or overthrow the status quo in pursuit of their ideals. Some sit throned in Atlantis, but others hold positions of power among mortals elsewhere — senators who campaign on reform, directors of nonprofits, and socialist organizers. Others embody their mother’s nurturing nature as doctors at free clinics, urban farmers fighting to end food deserts, or biologists seeking to eradicate disease through genetic engineering.
