Territory :

Gawahi (1st territory) The shore and surface, plus a little underwater, of a freshwater lake, oddly close to the ocean. Unaware of what the rest of the world calls it, the locals just call it Lake Na-Ho. Cliffs and caves a ways off separate the village from thick jungle. The village is in wonderful territory, so long as vigilent watch is kept for the rare odd creature from the deepest depths of the lake. Gako-Ro (Village) Built atop giant lily pads and the surrounding shore, the village uses woven seaweed as a curiously strong watertight building material, making bridges, huts, boats, and so on.Nearby shells and plants are used to make flax, which can be turned into string, which can be turned into any number of useful things, like nets, rope, and clothing. Bamboo grows a bit further inland. Ruler: Noka-Ma, village elder, and Hah-Li and Ma-Ku, Noka-Ma's right and left hands. Badge of Office: A trident fishing spear, made from the bones of a dangerous giant deep water fish.

Description/ Appearance :

Most gods would brag of their great deeds that led to their ascension, or tell flattering tales of themselves in life. Ga-Li is not among them. Because Ga-Li was never alive. As a single spirit in the well of souls, genderless, nameless, and with not a single thing in it's mind, an attack from a demon inside the well escaping managed to crack the well. Being what it was, the well swiftly repaired itself, but not before the spirit was caught in the wake of the escaping demon and swept through the crack. The spirit awoke in the real world and swiftly imprinted itself upon a nearby beach village. The people were friendly, helpful, and hard workers, and so the spirit became one as well. The spirit's work, though minor, eventually caught the notice of the villagers, who jokingly told each other that a gali, or 'benevolent spirit' must have taking a liking to them, and thus was Ga-Li named. Merely by being acknowledged Ga-Li swiftly became stronger, eventually becoming something akin to a town pet. It remained such for many decades, until a raiding party of salamander slavers discovered the village. While strong and brave, the villagers knew very little of combat, and were swiftly overrun. In the middle of it all, a young girl, Noka-Ma, called out with a powerful, heartfelt, whispered prayer. "Please, it can't end this way. Help us, someone help us. We need a god. ANY god!" Within this prayer was a scrap of belief, that help truly would come. Normally, the salamander god would have snatched up the belief for himself, then killed them off anyway, but Ga-Li seized it swiftly. The freshwater spring in the center of the village erupted in a geyser, launching her incarnated form into the center of the raiding party. The salamanders had but a moment to react, a moment they waisted in shock of the sheer size, twelve feet tall, of the warrior. The next thing anyone knew, a tidal wave had smashed into the village, crushing the salamanders against the ground, but mysteriously leaving the villagers and buildings not even wet. Ga-Li (having spent nearly all her power, though she was not a she yet) was exhausted, and unable to stop a single surviving salamander from escaping. In the confusion of the next few days, Ga-Li's incarnation became more feminine as the belief of her people sculpted her into what they believed fit her personality while she regained her strength, and helped the villagers evacuate the village to escape the inevitable second attack, this time with the full attention of the salamander god. The floating village of Gako-Ro was built soon after, atop giant lily pads and the nearby shore. Ga-Li swiftly became the target of worship, an odd feeling for her, and became their god. Noka-Ma eventually became village leader, having been taught by Ga-Li over the years to be wise and fair. (Ga-Li not exactly knowing what a god was supposed to do, had a lot of time on her hands.) It was around then that a scowling Fate showed up, muttering to itself about problems that came up with the unplanned creation of 'free agents'... Religious Observances: 1. Any problems in the village are to be resolved civilly, violence is not permitted for such petty things, an impartial third party, or a game, is to settle things if unable to settle on their own. 2. Those who would enter the service of Ga-Li must wear a mask they craft themselves, and immerse themselves in the very essence of water. Ga-Li provides nuts from the celestial gardens to enhance touch. One (and only one) must be eaten, then immerse themselves in the lake before it wears off. The experience often gives a whole new appreciation for the element. 3. Fresh water is to be used in any ritual or ceremony. No impurities. 4. Ga-Li's symbol is to be in plain sight when praying or attempting to speak with her when not incarnated. However, Ga-Li is not picky, one can scribble it in the sand if they wish for example. 5. One is NOT to grovel when praying or speaking with Ga-Li, incarnated or not. Ga-Li has more important things to do than listen to senseless flattery or time waisting fancy language. Ga-Li is fairly reasonable, using common sense to decide on most things. However, she very strongly believes in unity, and purity. If there is one thing she can not stand, it is gods of poison, corruption, fear, anger, consumption, and dissent.
