The World Tree/Gielel
Summary[edit]
Gielel is the goddess of fate within the World Tree campaign setting. According to ancient texts, Gielel (alongside Hasdum) forged the world from the remaining pieces of Katasis and Vareus. It is said that Gielel "collected the pieces and forged them within her hands, only to find what she had created the four elements of the world", which was then populated by Ra-Orn's and Althum's creations.
Gielel created Arcadia where she rules with her two beasts of fate, Dania and Morahk, only bringing them to the Material Plane when the plane is imbalanced.
Origin[edit]
During the battle between Vareus and Katasis, it is said that Vareus "cut out the heart of Katasis and cast into oblivion" where it was able to grow and recreate itself. Katasis, with her final moments, separated Vareus in his moment of glory and pride into his three true selves (Althum, Nazuma, and Gagaur). Gielel is said to have been created from the hair of Katasis.
