Aritimi - Mother Goddess

The Mother Goddess Tabiti originated as Primeval Fire , becoming merged with the lifeforce of this planet early in its existence. She drew power by absorbing solar energy from the planet's Sun as pillars of light , causing planetary gray hazy skies save for near the pillars of light and where they struck the planet. In the southern realm, it was hotter and darker because of geothermal activity, but it also provided vast amounts of energy for their advanced civilizations. She could be a destroyer, but more often was a creator and healer of the surface world, bringing new life and regeneration. She could also prove a harsh mother, often seen as the source of the Lurians hot-blooded attraction to violence, war, and even to procreation. Some Lurians even possessed the ability to create sorcery using elemental fire because of their worship of Tabiti, which gave them certain attributes, making them appear almost demonic. 

When the Great Beast Amarok crashed into the planet's surface, it would forever change Lur as animals across Lur would be transformed, giving them human form or some hybrid chimeric mix of human and animal. Tabita would also be transformed by this, and exchanging energies more directly with Amarok, she became more animalistic and instinctive in her behavior. It was as if he were poisoning her, inducing madness with those who worshiped her, noticing the difference. They renamed her Pótnia Therôn (Mistress of Animals) for these reasons, not knowing of her increasing maternal instincts for Amarok, protecting and nurturing him as he hibernated. In her madness, she ravaged Lur with out-of-control weather as if she saw her world itself as an enemy. The Lurians continued to tap into her as a source for geothermal energies to power their civilizations, which became more limited as the use of sorcery increased.  

Pótnia Therôn would often appear in the form of a monstrous beast more similar to Amarok himself, but being a shapeshifter allowed her to change both her size and shape to appear more human. When the emperor known as T'alron once again sought to summon Amarok to use him against his enemies, she interfered to stop him, resulting in T'alron attacking her, wielding a weapon formed from a splinter of the weapon used to destroy Monad and imprison Götterdämmerung . By this time, Amarok also saw Pótnia Therôn as his mother, causing him to lash out in mindless rage, destroying Lur, which had survived only because of Pótnia Therôn preserving it. So by attacking Pótnia Therôn, T'alron set in motion events that ultimately led to the destruction of his world. As her world died around her, Pótnia Therôn could do nothing to save it and might have wished it destroyed like someone wishing for their own destruction, as she was weary and gripped by madness. 

For billions of years, she slumbered until the world she had once been Mother Goddess to began to reform with the awakening of the Worlds of Shadow. She would exist as a force of nature at first, shaping this world and recreating life from souls that had been entrapped with her evolving and creating new flesh until more advanced lifeforms came to exist, starting ancient cycles anew as humans and Man-beasts would also be reborn. Where some memories survived, they would be faint, and as more sapient minds evolved to summon and manifest her as they envisioned she should look, she would take on a much different form. When she next opened her eyes, she found herself looking at a newborn baby held in her arms while simultaneously looking at herself from the baby's eyes, realizing both mother and child were both her. She would come to learn about the events of Lur's rebirth and her own.  

She remembered the madness and how it created a split persona within her, likely responsible for the cunundrum she found herself experiencing. The darker part of her character was purged along with the madness, creating the mother aspect of her new life. Calling the mother Aveta , she seemed to embody the element of Primeval Water for the purpose of nurturing and caring for the baby, who she understood to be Tabiti who was resurrected from the primeval fire that had originally created her. Where Aveta retained some memory of their past, Tabiti seemed completely oblivious. But where Aveta was more a force for creating and nurturing life, the newly reborn Tabiti was prone to tantrums, unleashing destruction, followed by creative forces that seemed sterile by comparison to what Aveta offered. When needed, mother and daughter became merged as one being, maximizing their combined powers but then returning to their separate forms when calm was restored.

It is possible that the mother and child duality was necessary to control her more destructive and darker aspects, as Tabiti was foremost a force for destruction kept in the form of a child to control her. But when her destructive power was needed, Tabiti would quickly mature to adult form from an angry brat to an enraged adult, then revert to a child again. As the new world continued to take form, their powers to control the environment proved instrumental in shaping it into what it was to become and explaining why certain things would be similar to what existed on Lur. Other things came from Earth during its ancient past, and some things were unique to this new world, which would one day be called Vaalbara , the world of Beast-men and Man-beasts! Aveta and Tabiti would also be known as Aritimi and sometimes the older Pótnia Therôn, both meaning the same thing and more broadly known to those worshiping her in her combined or animal forms.
