Meet Isun. Deity of the monotheistic mythology of the long lost Edonians from the ancient empire of Edon, located at the heart of what is now known as Pakistan. Their territories connected China and India all the way to Iran. Her full name is Isun, Mountain Maiden and Mother of Creation, Divine Queen and Wife of No One, but she was most often addressed Mountain Mother in ceremonial contexts and daily speech. Only the priestesses were allowed to say her actual name.
However, after the empire of Edon fell, thousands of years before BC, the worship of her would decline. Humans would explain it in the light of the culture's disappearance, but the fact remained that the entire reason the culture disappeared was that Isun had abandoned her people. The events leading up to the fall of the Edonian empire had disappointed her so severely, that she decided to turn her back on her creation and go to sleep, let the Earth fend for itself.
Isun ended up sleeping for almost three thousand years and when she woke up, the world looked much different from how she left it. In many ways, her children had evolved - and in many more, they had lost their way. Now she wanders among them in surroundings that look alien to her, among people who have forgotten her name, yes, even her existence, trying to decide whether it is worth the effort to reconnect or whether the time has come to lay the Earth bare and start over. Birth a new order.
