Vidar
Now...everything looks alright...the creatures are very Nature-aligned...the Gods...wait. What?!?! What's with the Gods on this list?
We know that Pan is a Nature God...so why is he not considered a Major God? Instead, we have the Goddess of Love, Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of...Apples as the Major Gods? Why?
Delving deeper into research, I found out that Isis was not only known for her magical prowess, but also for being a patroness of Nature. In Egyptian mythology, magic is woven into the very nature of all life, and life is the core of Nature. For Idun, she is also the Goddess of Eternal Youth, that is being very much alive, healthy and young. Last but not least, Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love and Sex, which of course leads to creating life (procreation). Furthermore, Aphrodite's symbols include many of Nature's wonders.
But surely, calling them Patrons of Nature, when we still have Gaia, as well as Rhea and Pan, seem to be farfetched? Not really. For me, the main feature of Nature is the Web of Life (that is why we have a spider-like hero!) and in this Web of Life, Nature flourishes because of nurturing, love and well, life itself. So Nature isn't just about The Wild (which is Pan's domain), about just plants and animals, but also, the relationships that bind everything together through our more positive emotions, and the 3 Goddesses do stand for that in one way or another.
What do you YForcers think?
Now, we have come to the end of the line up for the mythological parts of YForce, but is that all there is? I can assure you...NO! There are still so many more things in this phase, but not all are to be revealed...yet! When though? Even I cannot tell...but soon....soon. *inserts maniacal laughter*
