 //"Knowledge is how we define reality. The Mind makes us who we are"//
+They say that information is key. Knowledge is power. Knowing is half the battle. This rhetoric perfectly sums up the existence of Empani. Empani is the god of knowledge, in its purest form. The collection of information is a sacred task for one who chooses to worship Empani. Their priests work vigilantly to document anything they come across, as anything and everything can be studied and learned from.
+On Jaern, Empani is quite new. Reborn as the re-fusion of the gods [[gods:tarus|Tarus]] and [[gods:vormaxia|Vormaxia]], Empani is still making a name for himself on the plane. Thankfully, she has absorbed most of the worshippers of the gods she came from. Cahyali serves as part of their origin. There, Empani was initially split into his two distinct aspects, and there he was reforged. Their influence is continuing to spread across the rest of the planes, as the knowledge of their fusion spreads as well.

 ==== Tarus, The Divine Archivist ====
-Tarus is the aspect of Empani who represents the Path of Secrets. He’s been a part of the history of Jearn and Cahyali for years, for better or for worse on the former. On Jearn he had long been known as simply the grand archivist of the gods. Though a more accurate description would be that he controlled knowledge on Jearn, with his priests often hiding away knowledge deemed dangerous, often overstepping their bounds. This led to a couple of Tarusian dark ages. Meanwhile, over on Cahyali, Tarus was a scribe and was often associated with rebuilding as Thothites (as they were called on Cahyali) often aided in the rebuilding after a disaster due to their archived knowledge.

 Tarus is never one to overstate himself, flashiness is a young man’s game and he is much, much older. Often he doesn’t appear with a flourish, just suddenly being in the area, no one noticing his arrival. His clothing is often colored in shades of brown and yellow and his accessories almost always serve a practical purpose. A headband with quills to write with, a charm with a vial of ink, or wings that unfurl into sheets of paper upon which writings and images can appear. He’s not one to speak directly, preferring to give hints and allow someone to come to their own conclusion. Though exceptions have been known.
 ==== Vormaxia, Mistress of the Mind ====
-Also commonly known as Kira, the aspect of Empani known as Vormaxia represents the Path of Truth, She has interacted with Cahyali for centuries. Meanwhile, her appearance on Jaern is much more recent. In the year 2528, following the Age of Reckoning and the Jalera Incident, an adventurer known as Kira, as well as fellow adventurer Cronk and a third unknown man revealed themselves to be mortal avatars for the gods Vormaxia, Zepherin, and Almar respectively. This was so that the three deities could surpass the Jaernian Godpact that existed at the time, disallowing outside deities from staking a claim on Jaern. Through this loophole involving the avatars being Jaernian natives, the three were allowed to ascend.

 Vormaxia changes shape and appearance often. Being a representation of the mind, her forms are impermanent and always changing. However, she is usually seen as one of the humanoid races wearing robes of blue and gold and round glasses. She’s also taken a liking to her hair shorter, with the color matching her robes. Compared to Tarus and Empani, she’s very loose and informal in both speech and mannerisms. She’s still quite close to Zepherin, Almar, and Mishra, despite their extreme differences in domains.
