Irinika was the first daughter Goddess of Arascus. We thought it a marriage, similar to Sceo's and Zerus', a mere union of two deities who relied on each other for comfort and protection. It sent waves on the beach of Divine politics, but what beach sits on a waveless coast?
At the end of the day, it made sense. Arascus would not settle for any partner but the major of Abstracts, and Irinika was just as prideful as him. She had many suitors over the years, Gods who would try to wed her, who wouldn't after all? Irinika, back then at least, was as much as a prize as I still am. She had denied all of them. Frankly, I do not blame her, petty domains such as thievery could not lay claim to the might that was All Darkness.
So whilst it was shocking, to see two Divines everyone thought would be forever alone finally abandon their solitude in each other's arms, it was not revolutionary.
Then, the others started joining.
