God of Creation Formally known as Nikhinah Likhssandeh Hadrinaeltrios Mohakhssamiliah (one name for each eye colour), Nikina is the child god of creation. He is the opposite of Garukavar in that he is a personification of all things coming to life and into being. His children and offspring are called Hireos. As well as representing and instilling creation, Nikina is often connected with morality, the idea of justice and peace, and other positive ideals, though creation isn't necessarily positive or negative. Nikina's AppearanceWhenever Nikina takes a form and steps down onto Riiga's solid ground, he takes the form of a 12-year-old boy with golden rough hair and normally blue eyes. He bears a heavy red cloak that drapes around his neck and shoulders and hangs right around him, reaching the ground. He wears what is similar to a skirt that reaches his bare ankles, which is also red. Nikina is also clad in 21 golden chains, forged by Daesdikhin, the younger son of Enkhaedis. These chains wrap around his chest like a figure X and also act as a belt. His choice of weapon is a sword, usually silver, as Odanon are weak against this mineral. He has been known to wield maces, spears, and other basic yet intricately designed weapons. It's calculated that Nikina bears the weight of 441 gold links, which equals 21 multiplied by 21. Assuming the gold of his chains is the same as normal gold, one link would weigh about 200g, putting the total weight of his chains at about 90kg or almost 200lbs. Nikina's EyesThe Dutri clearly states what it means when Nikina's eyes change colour. He has four distinct colours, and each represents different things and also puts him into different "moods".
Nikina is also only capable of portraying emotions associated with each aspect whilst in any state. As Mohaxamilia, representing birth and growth, expresses both a youthful naivety and a peculiar thirst for learning things. Lekzander, as spirit and soul, expresses the vigour and authority of a mature male and the passion and strength of a mature female. It's not quite known what Hadrinaeltrios expresses (peace and choice) because Nikina has never shown this aspect to anybody and it is therefore never heard of in history. People only know of it because of what Nikina told the first people at Hunnuklad. Nikina, as light and energy, shows mostly a calm and clear attitude. Nikina's CreaturesAs it is Garukavar's duty to send down monsters to attack people, it is Nikina's duty to sustain the creation of Riiga through his own creatures.The following is a list of Nikina's known creatures:
According to the Dualkedorian Order, Nikina resides in a place with his shimteak. This is supposedly a fortress or palace of some description hidden on Riiga. Most members of the order will say it is hidden somewhere in the Sideways Mountains, in eastern Huirnon, near Velena. This is mostly due to the alleged shimteak sightings at the temple there, and the fact that it is considered an unreachable area. Others will say that it is underground or someplace very bizarre and impractical. Somehow, it has become fact that shimteak spend most of their days in this fortress under Nikina's watchful eye, maintaining their otherwordly strength through combat and meditative techniques. HistoryNikina himself does not come down and make changes to the people of the world. This is against Forganad's universal laws. The Dutri states that Nikina and Garukavar were sort of "realisations" of Forganad. This suggests that all three gods were always in existence, but were not necessarily existing. Nikina first created Ilertav, who, in turn, carved out Riiga's structure. Some time later, Renin -- the first human -- was born from Nikina. After that, after many more years, Nikina bore Leuvana, who later turned neutral. They are the only three Hireos Nikina ever created.Nikina then inspired such orders as the Paladins and the sacred order of the Lord, founded by Renin and carried on until the year 250AL, not long after Erinduo, the third Lord of Central, was slain. After this, he spent less time in Central. From time to time, he would appear in Hunnuklad in the city of Phedailin at the summoning of the High Priest at the time. Once Central lost its order of Lords, Nikina spent much more time in the East, appearing quite often -- specifically in Hunnuklad, within a specific room designed for divine meetings. There is more on Nikina's history in the Dutri. AbilitiesIt goes without saying that Nikina has the power to create life from unused matter. It has also been mentioned that he has skills with weapons. Many scholars claim that, since elemental magic involves creating effects through calling power of elemental spirits, Nikina has ultimate power over elemental magic. Such a claim has yet to be either witnessed or supported through Nikina's own words. As the gods of Riiga are omnipotent and omnipresent, Nikina, when in his human form, has no real limits.
