Atayami

Atayami (Gwindari: Lady of the River) is a minor goddess only worshiped by the Gwindari people of the Gwindan Jungle. She is a symbol of the Sungai River, as well as life. She is unique in being the only deity to be unrelated to Orante

Biography
Ayatami had come into being after the Gwindari people had noticed that the Orantir and Oranar had taken a more hands-off approach to Andor; thus they turned to their livelihood: the Sungai River.

The Sungai River was a source of life to the Gwindari, a source where they got their water, food, and had their world centered around. Slowly, the worship of the river had come to fruition, with small baskets of offerings being floated down the river in specially weaved baskets.

"Atayami" is what they began to call the forming deity. With this name, they gave her power. With this power, slowly she had answered their prayers. The river would feed them, care for them, and only lash out when a great wrong was committed.

Character
The Gwindari describe Atayami as a motherly figure. Just as she is loving, she is also stern.

Abilities and Power
Atayami is said to control the currents of the Sungai and how fast or slow it moves, as well as the flooding.
