Anadyokiema

God of Inspiration, Epiphany, Music, and Art

The Divine Impulse, The Spark
Anadyokiema ^{(ah-nah-dyo-KEE-mah)} is the rhythm that emerges from disparate elements, the realization of pattern from chaos; the inexplicable new thought that is born within homogeneity; the epiphany that transforms confusion into comprehension, and dissonant struggle into flow; the frisson in response to being ‘moved’ by art, or by the moment of discovery meticulously achieved; the idea that has been stalled on the tip of the tongue finding its voice; it is both the clarity of focus in crisis, and being swept along with a performance. All of these moments and sensations and phenomena are Anadyokiema.
This divinity has only been known to mortals since the vernal Night of High Magic in 1945, following the events of Sokolmé's Remedy. Its emergence seems to have been a direct result of decisions made and actions taken in the moon's many temples, and it coincided with the sudden wave of epiphanies that brought about an entirely new discipline of magic: artificing.
Anayokiema is said to be closely linked to both Nimmit and Sokolmé, although the exact nature of that relationship is not yet fully understood by mortals.

Worshipers

The sharing of knowledge between disciplines is a concept that is encouraged in the faith, so people who follow Anadyokiema might be found from every walk of life and any set of interests. The core of worshipers arose from those inventors and innovators who had already been pushing against the boundaries of what is known and possible, and many of those individuals became the first Artificers. Some of those who are drawn to Anadyokiema tend to be especially adroit or intuitive in their understanding of underlying rhythms that govern the world and everything in it; from their arts, to other people. They are commonly insightful individuals, and some become master manipulators with their understanding of how tonality can craft behavior into predictable patterns.
Followers of Anadyokiema almost always practice at least one form of art, with music being the most common. Artisans of all talents, from the arcane and scientific, to the mundane and random, have found the name of The Divine Impulse on their tongue or in their work - but, unsurprisingly, Artificers and Bards are the most likely to worship Anadyokiema. Wizards and Sorcerers, whose magical paradigms represent opposite (but occasionally overlapping) extremes in the process of learning, have also shown to be among common worshipers, but it is hardly a concept that is exclusive to those who wield magic -- those are simply the ones whose epiphanies tend to bear the most visible fruit. Performers and athletes from all strata of skill are also typical followers.
Clerics of Anadyokiema, while still few in number compared to other faiths, have been gathering in Sanctoris and Torellon to establish temples. Thus far, they have been noted to wield the domains of Knowledge, Order, and Forge.

Signs & Symbols

Holy Symbol
The worship of Anadyokiema has arisen spontaneously and simultaneously across Armea and there is not yet a single, standardized symbol used except for a common theme of a cymatic pattern being present.
Favored Weapon
As a divinity that is never known to have had a mortal form to wield any weapons, there are no strong associations yet. The use of hammers is growing common, being as much a tool for creative purposes as much as a weapon, but t is far from the rule. Clerics of Anadyokiema wield whatever they are most comfortable with.
Envoys
People most often feel Anadyokiema implicitly rather than as an external encounter. Any time Anadyokiema as a concept is experienced, it is considered one in the same as touching the divine.

The Sacred

The worship of Anadyokiema is still very new and traditions have not yet been formed, but the vernal equinox is being hailed as a holy time and related to the night of its birth.
