|Native Spirits=[[Ettal]] is the Ascendant Spirit of cliffs and shores and the original spirit of Gosterra. He created the Zapaha. His home, the [[House of Ettal]], is in the Duchy of Kappee in Yeege.

[[Emerioa]] is the Ascendant Spirit of emotions and was the second Ascendant Spirit to settle in Gosterra. ~~Emerioa's~~ home, the [[House of Emerioa]], is in the Mona Forest in the province of Enis.

[[Emerioa]] is the Ascendant Spirit of emotions and was the second Ascendant Spirit to settle in Gosterra, during the [[Age of Ascendance]]. Her home, the [[House of Emerioa]], is in the Mona Forest in the province of Enis.

Emerioa's ten children came into being when humans arrived in Gosterra in the Great Migration. Each is the Ascendant Spirit of a pair of opposed emotions: [[Netoh]] (joy and sorrow), [[Emza]] (fear and courage), [[Zoñen]] (anger and mercy), [[Eñda]] (love and grief), [[Ñéñ]] (shame and pride), [[Yored]] (wonder and disenchantment), [[Elayel]] (disgust and reverence), [[Ehatta]] (envy and gratitude), [[Ítten]] (hope and despair) and [[Peño]] (loneliness and belonging). They have no houses of their own and are found wherever people are.

|Legacy=Gosterra is the homeland of the human peoples of Méniail. The Oinien of Orinilure, the Tuzquão of Balúrail, the Arânzeni of Khamria and the Berturracioi of Arezilur all descend from settlers who left it. [[Tuzquês]] and [[Berturraci]] descend from Gostaldi.
