**kavkem mythology** is fairly [[:Threadwielder]]-centric. It's the result of [[character:Evenatra]] and [[character:Ysikary]] having revealed themselves both to the [[:Nayabaru]] and the kavkema very early on, and tried to teach them about Threadwielders and the nature of the universe. Of course, of the two, Ysikary later withdrew, an action correlated to that the Nayabaru culture became more secular over time.

There are several regional flavours of kavkem mythology that can be distinguished from each other.

The kavkem mythological pantheon, the basic dynamics between the deities and the origin story of the world is known as the baseline faith //[[kavkem:mythology:Taaravahr]]//.

===== Pantheon =====

^ Deity ^ Purpose ^ Threadwielder ^
| [[kavkem:mythology:Garukaron]] | The god of time; the Ur-deity. | [[character:Madjan]] |
| [[kavkem:mythology:Maenona]] | The goddess of the celestial objects of the night (distant stars, planets). | [[character:Zalaagra]] |

| [[kavkem:mythology:Vasharesh]]((Only since //The Sky's Umbilical Cord//)) | A fallen deity / demi-god. | [[character:Valcen]] |
| [[kavkem:mythology:Tamas̈elu]] | The goddess of //qanu// (life worth living), fertility and peace | [[character:Evenatra]] |

Ysikary has been entirely forgotten by the modern pantheon.
