Sham’ayn

Sham’ayn

(shah-mahn)

Created in a pair with her brother Taruthe when Aster only wanted one more Deity, Sham’ayn is blamed near-universally for much in Omneutta.

She holds the domains of Curses, Hexes, and Trickery, and since her creation has always been in touch with magik of The Known Universe unrelated to Aster. These loose magiks are believed to be curated by Sham’ayn, though it is unclear whether she is able to control them, or acts as a conduit to channel them into Omneutta.

Though she was a central figure in starting both Deity Wars, her magik was integral in corralling The Eight on Astran and Tyme. It is her magik, combined with Aster’s that bound each Deity to their shared form, and dulled their abilities.

The influence she actually wields over The Blade and other ills across Omneutta is of much debate, especially among the shani. Though she is often depicted with artifacts like the other Deities, many shani believe that symbology is more important in channeling her magiks than the artifacts themselves.
