Aurawil[1] (AR-uh-wil) is the Akallan god of the wind. He is a son of Ultus and Khalya.
According to the most widespread myth, Aurawil was the fifth-born of the wind gods. His elder brothers were Agos, Ostos, Sersus, and Uros, who held dominion over the north, east, south, and west winds, respectively. As there were no more winds for Aurawil, he took it upon himself to murder his four elder brothers and seize all four winds for himself.
Other myths
An alternative myth regarding his lordship over the four winds tells that Agos, Ostos, Sersus, and Uros were instead his sons. Ultus granted them dominion over the four winds, but Aurawil, jealous of his own sons, murdered them all to become lord of all wind in their stead.
Depiction
Aurawil is typically depicted as a young boy, around 10 years of age.
Worship
Aurawil is often propitiated by sailors and those who live on the coast, in the hope of warding off his wrath. He's known for quite arbitrarily bringing unwholesome winds, aiding his father in bringing storms, and aiding his mother in bringing blizzards.
Notes
- ↑ Fun fact: When I first came up with this guy, I spelled his name "Aroil" (same pronunciation) for some reason.
