Additional Atlantean

Aeva
Aeva is one of the genderless twin Gods of Reality, alongside their twin Ytar. When Aeva was
born from the Void, their first act was to sing. Their music was the first thing in the World that
had an order and a pattern to it; and the first thing that changed, marking the beginning of linear
time. Though this was necessary for the World to begin, it also gives Aeva an ominous
reputation, for the beginning of time was also the beginning of entropy, which guarantees that
death and destruction must come to all things. Aeva takes on a three-faced form, gazing into
past, present, and future simultaneously. As God of Time, Aeva receives worship from those
who seek to forestall its ravages, postponing death, illness, or decrepitude by one day more.
When the end comes, Aeva solemnly oversees the dissolution of the soul into the Void. Not all
of Aeva’s roles are so grim; they’re also the protector of procrastinators, musicians, horologists,
and broken-hearted lovers. Aeva’s favorite Incarnations are singers and other musicians, though
they sometimes take on the more macabre roles of hospice nurses, gravediggers, crisis hotlink
volunteers, and executioners. Most of Aeva’s Incarnations travel outside Atlantis, where they
can escape the baleful reputation associated with them. Aeva’s Scions are almost all Chosen; the
God feels uneasy bringing new life into linear time. Their Scions tend to be steely and reserved,
ready to do whatever’s necessary even if it’s unpleasant — leading bloody revolutions against
oppressive governments, providing counseling and therapy in the aftermath of tragedies and
disaster, amputating a limb to save a patient, investigating criminal conspiracies at great danger
to themselves, and the like.

Ytar
A carefree fool and merrymaking trickster, Ytar is the other twin God of Reality. When Ytar was
born from the Void, they stretched out their limbs wide, unfolding all of space so the World
could take form. Their most common manifestation is a human-shaped silhouette cut out from a
great darkness, filled with spinning galaxies and gleaming stars. Ytar holds no formal position
among the Teros, abhorring responsibilities, but is venerated by God and mortal alike for
sharing the wondrous technology of Atlantis. As the God of Space, Ytar answers the prayers of
cartographers, navigators, architects, physicists, and those seeking lost things. They spend much
of their time devising sophisticated tricks to play on both their fellow Teros and Atlantis’ mortal
rulers, teaching them lessons Ytar believes they’d benefit from learning. They can take this
jovial, lackadaisical manner to excess, shunning Godly duties even in times of crisis; their twin
Aeva forces them to live up to their responsibilities. Ytar takes on Incarnations as a way to
enjoy the variety of mortal life, taking on roles that leave them well-placed to work mischief on
the powerful and haughty: a multibillionaire C.E.O.’s secretary, a president’s chief of staff, a
news anchor’s makeup artist, and so on. Ytar doesn’t limit their Incarnations to staying within
Atlantis, enjoying the World’s diversity, though they’re careful to keep their true identity secret.
Some of Ytar’s Scions are Created in their divine workshop from dark matter, crystalline
nanomachines, or stranger things; others are Chosen from the ranks of mortals whose mischief
impresses Ytar; and a few are Born through liaisons with mortals. These Scions tend toward a
combination of creative genius and eccentricity that gives them a unique perspective on the
World: hedonistic Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, absurdist writers, problem solvers tackling
challenges the rest of humanity hasn’t even noticed yet, eccentric nuclear physicists, and
politicians or media moguls who use humor and spectacle to draw attention to pressing issues.
