Columbia (kuh-LUM-bee-uh)

American Diety

Columbia

In the realm of divine beings that guide and protect the myriad cultures and lands of our world, Columbia stands as a unique guardian of a nation born from the confluence of countless streams of thought, culture, and aspiration. Unlike the deities of ancient civilizations, whose mythologies were etched in stone and parchment through the ages, Columbia’s essence is woven from the ideals of freedom, unity, and the relentless pursuit of progress. Columbia is the embodiment of the collective spirit of a diverse nation, a beacon of light that guides her people through times of turmoil and triumph, her strength derived from the amalgamation of the myriad souls that have shaped the nation's destiny. Though the concept of a deity embodying the spirit of a nation might seem timeless, Columbia's inception as a guardian deity can be traced back to the late 18th century, a period of great upheaval and transformation. It was in this crucible of change that Columbia emerged as a symbol of unity and hope for a fledgling nation striving to define its identity amidst the chaos of its birth.

In the mystical realm of Tir na nOg, where the boundaries between the mortal world and the divine blur, Columbia's legacy is carried on through two children, twin boys who embody the dual aspects of Columbia's domain: Liberty and Freedom. Unlike the tragic fates that often befall the offspring of gods in ancient myths, Columbia's sons thrive in Tir na nOg, guardians of their parent's ideals in a land where time stands still, and magic reigns.
