Hacina, God of Fields

The grain and the crop, the quiet breath of the earth as the plants reach for the sun each morning—Hacina is the goddess of farmers, shepherds, and all who toil upon the land. Her hands guide the growth of every seed sown, the rhythm of every harvest reaped, and the gentle decay that returns life to the soil. Her love for nature runs deeper than Yasra's untamed wilderness, for while Yasra cherishes the wild and the untamed, Hacina sees the intricate balance of growth and decay that ties all things together. She nurtures life not just as a force to be revered, but as a delicate balance that sustains all existence.   Hacina's appreciation for mortal civilization rivals even that of Aedis, for she sees the quiet heroism in those who work the land—those who bend their backs beneath the sun and brave the rains to feed others. She sees cities not as mere structures of stone and mortar, but as extensions of the earth itself, formed by hands that respect and understand the bounty of the world. Where Aedis sees order and stability, Hacina sees the heartbeat of communities, the shared meals that bring people together, the hands that care for the sick and the old, and the quiet endurance of those who strive to preserve life even through hardship. She is the steady hand of the cycle, the patient guardian of growth, and the force that reminds mortals that all they build rests upon the ever-turning soil.

Origin

Hacina is considered to be among the wisest and most mature of the Gods, her wisdom rooted in the timeless cycles that govern the world. Her origin predates even the advent of agriculture, with her earliest worshippers being the beasts that hunted seasonally or hibernated until spring’s renewal. While her adopted daughter Yasra embodies the tangible aspects of nature—the beasts, the wilderness, the primal force of survival—Hacina embodies the spiritual and conceptual essence of the natural order. She is the whispering wind that signals a changing season, the patient turn of the sun and moon, and the unbreakable cycle of life and death that all creatures must follow.
