Ghina
The goddess of indulgence and passion. She has worshippers from all the known races, each with their own interpretation of her ideals.
Those that are more inclined to live a life toward good will say that she sings of love, joy and empathy.
Those that live a life of indulgence will often say that debauchery and gluttony lies within the song of the goddess.
Some vampire groups say that she a representation of their thirst and natural magnetism.
Some werewolves claim that Ghina represents their people, the rose and the thorn, the beast and the man.
The Stories of Ghina's role within the events of The Divide vary greatly, depending on which of these groups are telling the tale.
After The Awakening Ghina would often work with her brother Ghanu, since the people often indulged in wine and other luxuries while having fun during their relaxation. Her real goal, however, was to help love grow and blossom within the people of the new realms' hearts. People would often pray to her when they want to win the heart of someone or when they wanted to succeed in an endeaver of great personal value. Some of the more passionate realms would call to her in matters of seduction, greed and other desires.
After Atmos distanced himself in the Heart's Void, Ghina could feel the pain Dryara felt during the Age of Tears. She decided to go to Atmos in the Void to speak with him. Some say she went there to seduce him with her enchanting voice, taking advantage of the rift between him and Dryara. Others say that she went there out of concern, but Atmos took advantage of her loving nature and seduced her. Another group will claim that they found their affection for each other over their mutual love for all the realms.
Nonetheless, Atmos and Ghina fell in love in this time, and they created their children, the strongest race to ever exist in the realms. They taught their children the old ways, and the new, and told them that they were going to free the shadow realm people. Who these children were depends whether you ask werewolf or vampire. The werewolves will say that they are the decendants of the two gods, two sides of the same coin, darkness and light. The vampires will tell you that they are the god children of Atmos and Ghina, their darkness and allure a personification of this ancestry.
The Alpha vampires will also very smuggly tell anyone that their version is the one that is accepted more commonly as well, which is the truth. Whether this is only because the elves have such a bloody history with the vampires and assume the vampires to be the greater evil, or because it is the bigger truth, none can say.
At the end of the age, at the time of the unification festival, Atmos exited the Heart's Void with the goddess Ghina by his his side. He claimed a new name, Zalmir, god of shadows and death. He revealed that they had created a race that was better than all the others in existance. With the realm borders still open, they laid siege upon the Light realm with their children and other beautiful creatures they had created. This event led to The Divide, where all with shadow in their hearts where barred from the light realm and light magic.
Since the events of The Divide, Ghina still has many followers. She allows those of all races to worship her, since she believes that passion is not limited to only those dark or light at heart. It is accepted that she has more followers of Void origin, though.
