-While no particular motivation is ascribed to him, nor any particular morality, it is said that [[:Garukaron]] created the universe, including the other gods. The universe at first was empty (from a mortal perspective), but came to have all of its constituent parts created by various deities. The attribution of authorship of different types of matter is not set in stone in Taaravahr.+While no particular motivation is ascribed to him, nor any particular morality, it is said that [[:kavkem:mythology:Garukaron]] created the universe, including the other gods.

-That said, all land relevant to the kavkema and Nayabaru (i.e. their planet as a whole) is considered to have been created by [[:Tkanetar]] and [[:Tamas̈elu]] - however, befitting a malevolent deity, Tkanetar is depicted as a strong, territorial character who does not allow meddling in his own grand vision. When Tamas̈elu decided to create the kavkema on the world (or one of his worlds, rather), Tkanetar took offense to the unfinished project, and attempted to purge them from the world (usually in some kind of 'rain of fire'). Before the purge completed, Tamas̈elu split the world and took one half for herself.+That said, all land relevant to the kavkema and Nayabaru (i.e. their planet as a whole) is considered to have been created by [[:kavkem:mythology:Tkanetar]] and [[:kavkem:mythology:Tamas̈elu]] - however, befitting a malevolent deity, Tkanetar is depicted as a strong, territorial character who does not allow meddling in his own grand vision.

-The new world had no light of its own, so Tamas̈elu gathered the //[[:kiikam|kiikama]]// that roamed her world to make the sun ([[:Mekiva]]), arguing that while this turned them into the servants of said world, it meant they had a separate realm to call their own, where they could live as they pleased.+The new world had no light of its own, so Tamas̈elu gathered the //[[:kavkem:mythology:kiikam|kiikama]]// that roamed her world to make the sun ([[:Mekiva]]), arguing that while this turned them into the servants of said world, it meant they had a separate realm to call their own, where they could live as they pleased.
  
 However, angered by having half of 'his' world taken from him, Tkanetar interfered, cursed the world and tore various kiikama from the new star, which fled back to the world and hid themselves there. Tamas̈elu meanwhile fought with Tkanetar until he was defeated. In many renditions, his defeat results in him becoming [[:Daskuvar]]. However, angered by having half of 'his' world taken from him, Tkanetar interfered, cursed the world and tore various kiikama from the new star, which fled back to the world and hid themselves there.

-It is said that [[:Maenona]] took pity upon the world due to the curse bestowed upon it and contributed to healing it in some form. The manner differs greatly between tales, though, usually dependent on her elemental affinities - a soothing wind, the cooling water, the soft snow, or simply pushing Daskuvar to a great enough distance to grant night time and shade.+It is said that [[:kavkem:mythology:Maenona]] took pity upon the world due to the curse bestowed upon it and contributed to healing it in some form. Details can differ greatly between tales, though, usually dependent on her elemental affinities - a soothing wind, the cooling water, the soft snow. Sometimes she was the deity responsible for pushing Daskuvar to a great enough distance to grant night time and shade.

 Deities in //Taaravahr// are neither omniscient nor omnipresent. They are not commonly considered omnipotent (with the exception of Garukaron), but are best compared with extremely powerful elementalists. They can be affected by curses, they can bind their powers to a promise, their own belief in the correctness of their actions affects the strength with which their power influences the world, and occasionally these traits are cited as a reason why Tamas̈elu is weakened (assuming the adherents think so - if they have never met her, they are more likely to assume her //too busy// rather than //weakened//). Deities in //Taaravahr// are neither omniscient nor omnipresent.
