Kharis
Kharis was a minor goddess in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with pain, physical stress, and sensory warning. In pre-Fall belief, Kharis did not represent suffering as punishment or trial. Pain under her domain was understood as a functional signal, indicating injury, overload, or failure of bodily systems.
Orthodox doctrine treated pain as instructive rather than redemptive. Ignoring pain was considered reckless, while responding to it appropriately was viewed as responsibility. Kharis did not demand endurance or glorify suffering. Her influence emphasized awareness and limitation rather than endurance for its own sake.
Kharis was closely associated with labor, injury prevention, and training practices. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that pain identified thresholds beyond which damage occurred. Disciplines that required physical exertion were expected to account for Kharis’s domain through rest cycles, conditioning, and recovery. Pain unmanaged was seen as system failure.
No knowledge of Kharis survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to her name, role, or conceptual presence in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its collapse, all formal understanding of Kharis disappeared. She is not remembered or reinterpreted in any capacity.
