FYI, I have a new silly link for my website

I finally have my Yoku conlang at a place where I can make it public. Along with a small in-universe apocrypha, there be a spreadsheet with Yoku IPA, grammar and syntax, various writing scripts, as well as 600+ words and counting. With a potential Hammerfell game, I thought I would use this conlang to give my future Yoku apocryphas some spice. Should you also want to utilise it, go for it! And should there be any confusion, errors, or suggestions, do let me know.

And so the last myth to the great volume which has been the Niriad. This one is a bit more esoteric. How the gods and mortals no longer live amongst one another, and how a mortal might try to reach them.

We have explored much of the age of goddesses, of peace and harmony… but it is not to last. We come slowly to an end, and now see how the angry gods stole the cosmos from the daughters of Nir.

Of all the myths, this might be one of the most important one for the ancients. This is the First Marriage where the early people come together to unite into the first tribe of Nedes.

Men and women continue to try to find their proper place within an early forming of a society, with many inventions, customs, and roles emerging through trial, failure, and tension. In addition, the story is about changing social order, as an older world of unity and harmony slowly begins to harden into something more divided and protective.

Today's story tells of a sacred revelation in which a community discovers that most men can no longer perceive the goddess Nir, leading to the founding of the First Temple and the shaping of new rituals, roles, and divisions among the people. It presents a myth of spiritual access, gender roles, and the first attempts to restore harmony between those who can still see the divine and those who cannot.

This story tells of a man named Guman whose unsettling encounter with a strange spirit changes how men understand life, fear, and their place in the world. It is a mythic origin tale about the discovery of death, the different sacred paths of men and women, and the beginnings of gender-divided ritual and identity.

The women of the river continue their new lives in peace until one day the men from the fire mountain go south on a hunting trip. The two come into first contact and learn how they are both different and yet alike.

We now leave the age of creation and enter the age of discovery, as the first mortals learn of their existence and go on to explore new people and new gods. We start off with the first people created.

A mysterious and dangerous serpent appears and wrecks havoc. It is up to Mara to tame it. Come and read about the origins of the red Niben River.

A shorter story this time, but an important one. With Mara busy on earth, who will watch the heavens?
