Helmi (Theosi Mythos)

The gods of the seas in the Theosi faith dwell in Helmi, a spherical palace made from a giant pearl that traverses beneath the ocean seas as well as the seas of the skies as Lunaal, the gray the moon.

Helmi is ruled by Thálassi, god of salt-water oceans and seas, and his wife Révma, goddess of freshwater lakes, rivers, streams, and springs. They reside there with their children, Psarás, god for those who make their living from the sea (sailors, fishermen, sea traders, and those who specialize in naval combat); Eidýllia, the goddess of love and romance; and Polemistís, the Warrior, god of individual combat. Eidýllia’s son Fýlo also resides there. He is the god of lust and sex, but also of music and the arts. He is depicted as being in a non-exclusive relationship with Plíthos, and the two of them are often considered to be the patrons of same-sex love.

It is said that the spirits of ordinary folk who are neither extraordinarily good nor particularly evil dwell amongst them until it is time for them to be reincarnated and “try again.”
