Myth[ | ]

According to legend, humans borrowed life from the Ancestor, becoming her children.[2] The desert asked the Ancestor for children of her own, and antelope were born.[3] When the Ancestor saw the cruelty of humanity, Her fury shook the world, creating warthogs.[4] At a time known as the Reapportionment, the Ancestor granted Eagle partial humanity, creating the Aven.[5] Animal spirits are considered the grandchildren of the Ancestor, while aven spirits are guided directly to the home of the Ancestor by holy couriers.[6]

In recent times, the Ancestor has been identified with Serra.[7][8]
