Vanas Character in Teryn | World Anvil

Vanas (Vah-nahs)

Vanas woke after her sister Molyna, but was more like her brother Oram: hard-working, dutiful, and humble. It served her well because Vanas was the most lovely of the seven, but she never believed it or bragged about it.   Instead, Vanas was boisterous. She loved to work hard, play hard, and love hard. When Shapla made a counter-part for her, lewd legends say she nearly broke his hips multiple times.   History records her as a paragon of Shāmaltāz diligence and industriousness, equal to her physical strength and competitive nature. She and her bloodline, most of all, were known to be laid-back folk that valued a hard day's work and community.   She bore the Ushgēd known as Sāzagemfak, the worldbreaker, a massive double jack sledge hammer: one face for striking metal, the other for pulverizing rock.   Vanahal was the hold she settled, and the clans Sāzagemfak, Venus, and Vanas descend from her. It's rumored the Teryn goddess of sex, beauty, and fertility took her name from Vanas.   The metal known as venus, an alloying element with iron to make superior steel, is named for her.

Artifacts

Sāzagemfak: a massive sledge hammer with two heads capable of flattening a 5cm ball of cold iron, sundering a boulder, or shattering a foe's body... all in a single blow. Legends tell of Vanas using it to open entirely new tunnels during excavation as Vanahal was expanded. It's also said that when the anvil Shāragad was moved from its initial position, the stone was pulverized for a solid meter below. Her siblings joked: "be careful, or you'll break the world," and thus it was named.

Ngl, Vanas sounds like the best partner material xD. Humble, strong and boisterous? That’s perfect wife material! But if I may ask, what role did she play in building up shamalta civilisation? Or did she take a backseat unlike Ferū?. I’d love to see you flesh up all the ancestor articles! I can’t wait for that time :)

Initially I just need to get their basic overview and images up because history will take a *while.* Each ancestor ruled a seventh of the empire and helped to grow it, despite any specialist contributions such as ithomish or run.
