The Source of Life

Jala, the Primordial Spirit of water. Born from the chaotic energies of Astram within the Primordial Void when Daathir imagined a counterpart to fire. Jala emerged as the life-giving flow that permeates the world, bringing growth, renewal, and sustenance to all forms of life.

Nature and Influence

Jala is the endless ocean, the flowing river, and the gentle rain that nurtures the earth. It is the water that sustains life, the waves that shape the coastlines, and the currents that move unseen beneath the surface. Jala’s presence is felt in every drop of rain and in the vast bodies of water that dominate the landscape of Adaris.

Significance and Worship

Jala is revered throughout Adaris as the essence of life and a symbol of purity, renewal, and adaptability. Temples and shrines dedicated to Jala are often located near bodies of water or feature flowing fountains and water features that symbolize the Spirit's connection to all living things.

Farmers, healers, and those who depend on water for their livelihood frequently seek Jala's blessings for abundant rains, clean water, and fertile lands. Rituals in honor of Jala often involve offerings of flowers and fruits cast into rivers or lakes, symbolizing gratitude for water's sustenance. Festivals celebrating Jala include ceremonies where participants are sprinkled with water, signifying purification and renewal, reflecting the Spirit's role in maintaining balance and fostering life in Adaris.
