-**//Kiivenara//** is a [[:kavkem]] [[kavkem:mythology]] best referred to as //Dance of Suns//, even though its literal translation would be //grace of the sun// - a portmanteauing of the kavkem words [[kendane͡ivash:word:kiivar]] and [[kendane͡ivash:word:evenar]]. One might consider it a fairly straight-forward application of the classical pantheon and its associated stories, //[[kavkem:mythology:Taaravahr]]//. It simply adds to the existing structure, altering very little.

 It can be encountered in Lower [[planet:nekenalos:Cetaros]], where it dominates its entire territorial stretch. It only intermingles with //[[Tkanuna]]// on the islands between Upper and Lower Cetaros.

 (It is no coincidence that //Kiivenara// of all faiths has a strong belief in dual deities of the hunt. In //Kiivenara//'s home turf, [[:planet:Nekenalos:Cetaros|Lower Cetaros]], the Nayabaru make a sport out of hunting down kavkema in a manner unrivalled by any other Nayabaru subculture.)
+==== Genanjuma ====
+//Main article: [[:kavkem:mythology:Genanjuma]]//
+A kavkem sub-culture steeped in the threat of being actively hunted by the Nayabaru benefits strongly from a deity of //[[:kavkem:society:qasai]]// (mercy killing or suicide) and courage. It is thus no surprise that Genanjuma plays an important role in the pantheon of //Kiivenara//, promising to whisper at least some captives away rather than letting them rot in Nayabaru captivity.
 ===== Rituals and spirituality =====
-Believers in //Kiivenara// are usually tied up in the same practical concerns that plague the believers of //[[:kavkem:mythology:Akynkulla]]//. No one expects their [[:kavkem:ryrhakenem|ryrhakenema]] to be primarily grapple with religious matters that are driven far more starkly by the will of the gods - and Cetaros is generally considered dangerous enough that usually, all hands are needed on the metaphorical deck. That said, their ryrhakenema do interpret the stars, the timing of dusk and dawn, and any other shift in the heavens.

 ===== Competing faiths =====
 On the Lower Cetaros mainland, none of note, though there is overlap with //[[Tkanuna]]// on island territories.
