-**//Vahrs̈elos//** is a [[:kavkem]] [[kavkem:mythology]] best referred to as well as translated directly as //Breathing World// (from the kavkem words [[kendane͡ivash:word:vahr]] and [[kendane͡ivash:word:s̈elos]]). While it shares much in common with //[[Taaravahr]]//, adopting the stories it tells unaltered, it nonetheless rearranges the fundamental power structures in a way only rivalled by //[[Leksharia]]//.

-It can be encountered in [[planet:nekenalos:Tabraan]]. Before the end of the book //[[:A Thread Between The Stars]]//, Tabraan had no other faiths to compete with //Vahrs̈elos//. Its dominance on the continent has waned since then, but Tabraan should still be considered the territorial home of this particular mythology.

 ==== Qasai as a force ====
-To the believers in //Vahrs̈elos//, there is a miracle form of //qasai// (mercy killing or suicide), comparable to the gifts of the deity //[[:kavkem:mythology:Genanjuma]]// in the faiths of //[[:kavkem:mythology:Kiivenara]]// and //[[:kavkem:mythology:Akynkulla]]//, although considerably more disembodied: It is an energy that flows from kavkem to kavkem on death. There is at least one of these in the world at any given time (and likely quite a few more), imbuing the kavkem it has become attached to with the ability to kill themselves by an act of deep, desperate concentration alone.

 Interestingly enough, a kavkem that understands themselves to have this ability will have a greater urge to end their lives even when not in danger - as this force will only pass on to the next kavkem upon death. There are no //documented// cases of anyone being //pressured// into ritual suicide for the purpose of passing on qasai, but it has no doubt happened once or twice.
