More Togruta Headcannons!
Part 2 of Togruta headcannons I make up with allergy attacks. Pt. 1 here
This one is mostly the Togruta Pantheon. Only five of them though, I'll do more later.
The most important deity of the Togruta Pantheon is Grut Daaark, which translates to Hunter Moon in basic, she is also called Meht Daaark or Meht Grut, translating to Mother Moon or Mother Hunter respectively.
She is the head deity and keeps the other gods and spirits in line.
She gives protection to a tribe of Togruta when they go out hunting and she gives a special protection to those going to face the more agressive and wild type of Akul.
She is the head of the pantheon and in control of all aspects of Togruta society but she is most heavily associated with love, parenthood, the hunt, protection, strength, creation, balance and abundance.
In all sources, she is the first of the Shili gods and the one who made Shili.
She crafted the environments of Shili and watered the ground with her red-orange blood, which is why many plants are that color.
Her place of residence is the largest, oldest and closest of Shili's six moons, it is the brightest at night and it is seen as her giving light for the hunt.
The Shrine of Meht Daaark is her main shrine, built on a place that is considered holy and sacred to Togruta.
The shrine is a very heavily protected place, the Y'grritil tribe, or Shaman tribe, lives around the shrine to protect it from ill intent. They have a community of tamed Akul who live with them and help them protect the shrine.
It is believed that Grut Daaark gave a select group of Togruta from all over Shili the task to guard the shrine and gave them tamed Akul with fur that matched her moon to help. All the Akuls who live with them have an extreme morph of the albino trait other Akuls can have.
These Akuls are appropriately called Daaark Akuls.
Grut Daaark is the most important and beloved deity in their pantheon.
The ribbon tradition I mentioned in Pt. 1 is a ritual to her, as she is depicted with a pair of ribbons tied around her montrals that protect her.
In her various depictions, she is usually seen in traditional hunting clothes with either a serrated spear or hunting bow and an Akul by her side. She usually has a shield on her back and infants/ adolescents of various species gathered around her for protection and nurturing.
She is said to have made all life on Shili and is the mother to all, hence why she is also called Meht Daaark.
She also made most of the other deities or influenced their creation in some way, the only one she did not have any influence or part in making was Sa'mahr Suun, who is her younger sister.
Sa'mahr Suun, translating to Sister Sun, is the second most important deity and the second oldest. She is less powerful and does not have Grut Daaark's total control but she is strong.
She is associated with ferocity, fire, destruction, rebirth, renewal, second chances, war, debate, compromise and, as a gift from her sister, communal bonding and change.
Her place of residence is the sun Shili orbits, even though her place of residence would usually be considered more important than Grut Daaark's, it is believed that Grut Daaark made Shili before Sa'mahr Suun came into existence.
Sa'mahr is not jealous or vindictive of her role or her sister and is a loyal and supportive force to Grut Daaark. She is a warrior but isn't bloodthirsty or overzealous, she has great restraint and self control, much like the Togruta when they go to war.
In the many versions of Shili's pantheon, she is always the second and respected by the others for her wisdom and strength.
Her depictions usually show her in traditional war garb with a shield similar to that of her sister's that was gifted to her by her sister and a sun spear with a protective helmet around her head and montrals, the helmet usually has a pan on top filled with seeds and she is often depicted with a Golden yellow and red Ghya Kee'tch, fire bird, a bird with an omnivorous diet, they spread seeds and usually play a key role in reviving areas after natural disasters like fires.
Her shrine is the Suun Shrine.
It is customary to pray to Sa'mahr Suun for luck in battle and Grut Daaark for protection in battle.
Sa'mahr Suun has a partner and a child.
Nahgi Yona, Water Heal, is a Shili deity made by Grut Daaark.
It is said they were made when Grut Daaark cried while healing her sister, causing Nahgi Yona to come into existence and for water to appear on Shili.
Nahgi Yona is a healer and a harmer, they have the ability to heal any wound and inflict even more pain. They are also responsible for making it rain and the waters of Shili.
Water disasters on Shili are because of Nahgi Yona, either because someone did something they deemed punishable or because it needed to happen.
Nahgi Yona is associated with healing, water, recovery, unpredictability, travel, foresight and the weather.
Their residence is the moon the second closest Shili, it is closer to Shili half the year and closer to the sun the other half.
They are beleived to see into the future and see when things, good or bad, will happen and act accordingly.
Droughts on Shili were originally thought to be Nahgi Yona holding back water in an area because of something the Togruta in the area had done but eventually this idea was dropped as even tribes who never did anything to offend them suffered droughts.
It was a common belief that droughts were caused by Ha'a'neh, a young trickster goddess, who would sweep in and distract Nahgi Yona from their duties just for fun and cause rain to be late.
Nahgi Yona is usually depicted in or around water with the sun behind therm. Their lekku are very long and trail along the ground, usually melding into the water they are around. They wear traditional healer clothing with their sacred animal, a sea creature that's like a giant sea turtle + snapping turtle but with sharpened fins and a club tail, next to them. They have healing plants growing around them and destroyed, waterlogged trees by them as well, showing their healing and destructive powers.
Nahgi Yona is the partner of Sa'mahr Suun, the pair being opposed yet connected in their duties as they both destroyed and restores life and couldn't do it without each other.
Ha'a'neh is a trickster and prankster, she is said to have been an early creation of Grut Daaark, hence her youthful, joking and playful personality.
She is heavily associated with good natured trickery and creative problem solving, messengering and the winds.
She uses the wind to mess around with mostly Nahgi Yona since she's usually closest and she can usually get away with it.
Her shrine is in the windiest mountain of Shili and that is her place of residence. She does not have a moon residence.
She is depicted in either the mountains or the clouds, she is shown wearing the clothing messenger's clothing, used during times of conflict to protect messengers, it has sail like flaps that come out from under the arms, which is a dressing style used in the tall windy mountains. Her weapon is a pick ax like weapon used to climb and fight. Her sacred animal is a very fast, lizardish bird that has a habit of playing pranks by mimicking.
Hoba Da'ki, translating to Food Herd, is another one of Shili's most important gods.
Hoba is the child of Sa'mahr Suun and Nahgi Yona.
She is associated with food gathering, herding, seasonal harvests and the changing of seasons.
She is seen as a kind and generous being, always one with more than enough to go around and one who would help anyone.
She is the simplest of the Shili gods and the most peaceful/least problematic for the others.
In her depictions, she is seen among the wild edible plants with her Djeba, a species of hoofstock native to Shili, she is usually helping the plants grow.
That's all I have for now.
I need to brainstorm more ideas without this just sitting in my drafts.
I also wanna draw these so that may happen sometime soonish.
Have an amazing week!
VJS out!

is this the mortifying ideal of being known? SJHFSJDHFSD tagged by the lovely @queen-breha-organa <3 og post here
Rules: Copy and paste these questions and make your own post, please do not add onto this one, it’ll get too long too fast. Mahalo. Then tag some of your friends to let them know you’d like to hear more about their ocs!
———
i'll do omura since new canon is slightly nicer to it >:) happy introductions to hell
Name: Omura Vane
Pronouns: it/its, they/them is fine if unsure
Nickname: 'Mura, Overgrown Tooka, Meht, MuraMura
One Word To Sum Them Up: Mandalorian.
Noun to Describe Them: The Protector, or The Altruist
Temperament: Generally placid when in good company. If around its crechemates or other loved ones, Omura is very adoring and doting, loud and joking, or will just curl up next to someone for a nap. When in public or pressing situations, Omura is typically the breaking voice of reason and provides fresh insight by seeing problems from all sides. Will bite you if you're going to cause arguments for no reason.
MBTI Type: INFP-T
Enneagram Type: I have never done this before-
Other’s First Impression of Them: Can come off as too on-edge, too strong or not strong enough. Can seem very foreboding thanks to its habit of standing back and closely observing situations before engaging.
General Likes: Peppermint!!, gentleness, love and physical affection, close-knit family ties, being able to watch new improvements unfold, feeling apart of something eternal and bigger
General Dislikes: Ki-Adi Mundi, Council Meetings
Romantic Status: Collecting partners like infinity stones.
Love Interest (s): No canon characters, but OCs Avit'il (@arcjesse), Sgt. Bolt (myself), and Zil'remu (@/arcjesse).
Good Friend (s): Mace Windu (Master), Cin Drallig (father figure) + Bene (baby sister figure), Kit Fisto (fun uncle), Plo Koon (cool uncle), Anakin Skywalker (older brother/favorite pain in the ass)
Enemy: KI-ADI MUNDI, basically if you're a threat to any child or anyone in the Temple, you're on Omura's shitlist.
Hobbies: Reconnecting to Mandalorian heritage, learning from Healers, spending time with crechemates or parental figures within the Temple, honestly just traveling anywhere with good and close friends. Having a good time is a dream.
Songs They Relate To: DEVOLUTION - Starset
Fictional Characters Similar To Their Personality: Me-
Fun Fact: Omura and Anakin are nearly neck-and-neck in their born power with the Force. Starting from when they were younger and had more problems with being unable to properly let go of some tension, they would hold sparring tournaments in empty halls at ass hours of night. And they would always be herded by Guards into proper training rooms to prevent destruction of the Temple.
Free Space/Ramble:
// Omura is considered a deity to the Togruta people, its full title being - Tunguma d'det Shili'neh et Grriva unt Tungu'ko d'det Ehm d'Yau; Sa'daar det Ha'a unt Sa'mahr d'det Togruta or "Daughter of the Spirit like Balance and Son of the Shelter of Life; Brother of Breath and Daughter of the People". It is the Barsen'thor (Warden) to the Jedi Order and certainly does not hesitate to act when alerted to a threat.
// Omura used to sleep in Mace Windu or any other senior Councilmaster's lap throughout meetings as both an initiate and a padawan. Eventually, Omura will take the mantle as a Councilmaster itself.. and will still sleep through the meeting.
// Omura, in typical Cheeriverse canon, will return to Mandalore postwar and resume its place in its clan, Clan Vane of House Vane.
// In Cheeriverse canon, Omura kills Ki-Adi Mundi. Simply because he overspent his daily-shithead allowance by at least 40 years.
