Noksuna: Harbinger of Twilight-Chapter 1/ Preface

Noksuna
Chapter 1
The Harbinger of Twilight

 PREFACE

In the beginning, nine stood before the eternal fires of Noksuna. Her hypnotic flicker forever solidifying all that lived inside them, all that was their vision, all that could be from the abyss of their hearts, and all that would be from the glory of the crown. Permeated, their stares focused toward the walls of twilight. The walls they swore to defend… In the Distance, The spiraling horizons of darkness that will slowly etch it’s blackness into Lesu began to wax and wane ever-closer to the valley; Showing the Nine Templar that the boding mist will now forever burden the realm of the Astral garden… ‘less they forget their vows. The Nine being present in Juron was a testament to the oath they had all taken long ago. The Noksuna. The vow to Odin and the High Priestess Aihmsva, to guard, for all of time, the breath of the ever-nova and her hope-bearing ghosts. This war was to be lost or won in vain, for the seer has already spoke the fate that bestow those who guard the fiery tomb of the goddess, princess Aihmsva Ekunovlas.

PSYKHE (or Psyche) was the goddess of the soul, wife of Eros god of love.

She was once a mortal princess whose astounding beauty earned the ire of Aphrodite when men turned their worship from goddess to girl. Aphrodite commanded Eros make Psykhe fall in love with the most hideous of men, but the god himself fell in love with her and carried her away to his secret palace. However Eros hid his true identity, and commanded her never to look upon his face. Psykhe was eventually tricked by her jealous sisters into gazing upon the face of god, and he abandoned her. In her despair, she searched throughout the world for her lost love, and eventually came into the service of Aphrodite. The goddess commanded her perform a series of difficult labors which culminated in a journey to the Underworld. In the end Psykhe was reunited with Eros and the couple wed in a ceremony attended by the gods.

Psykhe was depicted in ancient mosaics as a butterfly winged goddess in the company of her husband Eros. Sometimes a pair of Pyskhai are portrayed, the second perhaps being their daughter Hedone (Pleasure).

\_/:::Woe of Ninsar:::\_/

In Sumerian mythology, Anu (also An; from Sumerian *An 𒀭 = sky, heaven) was a sky-god, the god of heaven, lord of constellations, king of gods, spirits and demons, and dwelt in the highest heavenly regions. It was believed that he had the power to judge those who had committed crimes, and that he had created the stars as soldiers to destroy the wicked. His attribute was the royal tiara. His attendant and minister of state was the god Ilabrat.

He was one of the oldest gods in the Sumerian pantheon and part of a triad including Enlil (god of the air) and Enki (god of water). He was called Anu by the later Akkadiansin Babylonian culture. By virtue of being the first figure in a triad consisting of Anu, Enlil, and Enki (also known as Ea), Anu came to be regarded as the father and at first, king of the gods. Anu is so prominently associated with the E-anna temple in the city of Uruk (biblical Erech) in southern Babylonia that there are good reasons for believing this place to be the original seat of the Anu cult. If this is correct, then the goddess Inanna (or Ishtar) of Uruk may at one time have been his consort.

In Sumerian mythology, Ninsar (from Nin = Lady, Sar = Green(ery)) is the goddess of plants.

Daughter of Ninhursag and Enki. Mother of Ninkurra by Enki

Also known as Ninki (Lady Earth), Ninmah, Ninmu, Nin-shar

Polar Shift: Believe in Hope

ELPIS was the spirit (daimona) of hope. She along with the other daimones were trapped in a jar by Zeus and entrusted to the care of the first woman Pandora. When she opened the vessel all of the spirits escaped except for Elpis (Hope) who alone remained to comfort mankind. Elpis was depicted as a young woman carrying flowers in her arms. Her opposite number was Moros, spirit of hopelessness and doom. PARENTS Perhaps a child of NYX, though nowhere stated OFFSPRING PHEME (Sophocles Oedipus the King 151) Hesiod, Works & Days 54 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) : “[Zeus] hid fire; but that the noble son of Iapetus stole again for men from Zeus the counsellor in a hollow fennel-stalk . . . But afterwards Zeus who gathers the clouds said to him in anger: ‘. . . I will give men as the price for fire an evil thing in which they may all be glad of heart while they embrace their own destruction.’ So said the father of men and gods, and laughed aloud. And he bade famous Hephaistos make haste and mix earth with water and to put in it the voice and strength of human kind, and fashion a sweet, lovely maiden-shape . . . When he had finished the sheer, hopeless snare, the Father sent glorious Argus-Slayer [Hermes], the swift messenger of the gods, to take it to Epimetheus as a gift. And Epimetheus did not think on what Prometheus had said to him, bidding him never take a gift of Olympian Zeus, but to send it back for fear it might prove to be something harmful to men. But he took the gift, and afterwards, when the evil thing was already his, he understood. For ere this the tribes of men lived on earth remote and free from ills (kakoi) and hard toil (ponoi) and heavy sickness (nosoi) which bring the Keres (Fates) upon men; for in misery men grow old quickly. But the woman took off the great lid of the jar (pithos) with her hands and scattered all these and her thought caused sorrow and mischief to men. Only Elpis (Hope) remained there in an unbreakable home within under the rim of the great jar, and did not fly out at the door; for ere that, the lid of the jar stopped her, by the will of Aigis-holding Zeus who gathers the clouds. But the rest, countless plagues (lugra), wander amongst men; for earth is full of evils and the sea is full. Of themselves diseases (nosoi) come upon men continually by day and by night, bringing mischief to mortals silently; for wise Zeus took away speech from them. So is there no way to escape the will of Zeus.” Pindar, Fragment 214 (trans. Sandys) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) : “With him liveth sweet Elpis (Hope), the nurse of eld, the fosterer of his heart–Elpis (Hope), who chiefly ruleth the changeful mind of man.” Theognis, Fragment 1. 1135 (trans. Gerber, Vol. Greek Elegiac) (Greek elegy C6th B.C.) :  “Elpis (Hope) is the only good god remaining among mankind; the others have left and gone to Olympos. Pistis (Trust), a mighty god has gone, Sophrosyne (Restraint) has gone from men, and the Kharites, my friend, have abandoned the earth. Men’s judicial oaths are no longer to be trusted, nor does anyone revere the immortal gods; the race of pious men has perished and men no longer recognize the rules of conduct or acts of piety. But as long as man lives and sees the light of the sun, let him show piety to the gods and count on Elpis (Hope). Let him pray to the gods and burn splendid thigh bones, sacrificing to Elpis (Hope) first and last.” [N.B. Theognis’ account is the inverse of Hesiod’s : the good spirits escaped from Pandora’s jar, abandoning mankind in their flight to heaven.] Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 250 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) : “Prometheus: Yes, I caused mortals to cease foreseeing their doom (moros). Chorus: Of what sort was the cure that you found for this affliction? Prometheus: I caused blind hopes (elpides) to dwell within their breasts. Chorus: A great benefit was this you gave to mortals.” [N.B. This is presumably a reference to Pandora’s jar, a curse concocted by Zeus to punish mankind for the theft of fire. Prometheus seems to be saying that he was the one who stayed Hope inside the jar, when the other evils escaped.] Sophocles, Oedipus the King 151 ff (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :  “Chorus: O sweetly-speaking message of Zeus, in what spirit have you come to glorious Thebes from golden Pytho? I am on the rack, terror shakes my soul, O Delian healer [oracular Apollon] to whom wild cries rise, in holy fear of you, wondering what debt you will extract from me, perhaps unknown before, perhaps renewed with the revolving years. Tell me, immortal Phama (Report), child of golden Elpis (Hope).” Aesop, Fables 526 (from Babrius 58) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) :  “Zeus gathered all the useful things together in a jar and put a lid on it. He then left the jar in human hands. But man had no self-control and he wanted to know what was in that jar, so he pushed the lid aside, letting those things go back to the abode of the gods. So all the good things flew away, soaring high above the earth, and Spes/Elpis (Hope) was the only thing left. When the lid was put back on the jar, Elpis (Hope) was kept inside. That is why Elpis (Hope) alone is still found among the people, promising that she will bestow on each of us the good things that have gone away.” [N.B. In the extant Latin version of this fable Eplis is translated as Spes.] Ovid, Heroides 2. 9 ff (trans. Showerman) (Roman poetry C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) : “Spes (Hope), too, has been slow to leave me; we are tardy in believing, when belief brings hurt.” [N.B. The Roman counterpart of Elpis, Spes, had a temple in Rome.] Nonnus, Dionysiaca 7. 7 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.) : “[Aion or Father Time, addresses Zeus:] ‘But, some may say, a medicine [Elpis, Hope] has been planted to make long-suffering mortals forget their troubles, to save their lives. Would that Pandora had never opened the heavenly cover of that jar–she the sweet bane of mankind!’”
