Creation Myth
In a vast ocean of inky back, it is almost impossible to navigate. It's a hope of sailing one direction and praying you find a place to rest. One such place was The Lighthouse, a rocky outcropping standing solitary, but defiantly, agaist the void that surrounded it, a beacon of light guiding those that seek rest to it's shores. The origins of The Lighthouse were unkown, the self maintaning structure seemed to not need the maintanence of a caretaker, the light left on the guide the lost sould of the sea.
The light never faulted, never flickered, never led anyone astray, only wishing for those who needed it's guidance and warmth a chance a solice resting on it's shores. Those that nedded the light, found it upon the horizon, those that felt themselves adrift in the dark were guided to it's embrace. And it grew. Reached further. Shone Brighter. Burned hotter. Guiding more and more to the protection of the lighthouse, to it's building array of ships nesting at her base.
Light given will, thought and power through the hope of those catching it's glimpse on the horizon, Kiella grew as the God of Light, housing all of the lost souls of the void.
Migration Myth
The void is no safe place to live, so in search of a better home for her people Kiella guided those under her across the sea, leaving the safety of her lighthouse to aid those nesting at her feet. Accross the sprawling waves, Kiella guided, but she was not the only one hoping to find a new home for her people, others were also searching for a new home for their followers, Kiella allowing her guiding light to aid those following the others through the harsh situation they find themselves in. Imir, The Navigator, one of the last to join the new Pantheon providing navigational instruction and Kiella's light guiding them trhough the dark, the Gods found their new home, Traestea.
Champions
Title: The Lightbearer
The First Champion of Kiella built the Port of Light's Lighthouse by hand, by themself, carrying a fragment of Kiella herself to the top in order to guide her followers to their new home.
In the year 1298, the last Champion of Kiella fell defending the Port of Light against a gargantuan sea monster.
The new Champion has been kept under wraps from the church, as they are training the new Lightbearer.
Philosophy
Those who deserve it will be guided through the darkness to the light.
