This was posted by a trial member and he copy pasted directly from the Mortal forums. If the Archbishop himself would have done it then you would see it fit much more with the theme. You'll have to forgive the lack of suitable adaptation to the in-game lore.
The name Nave, though originally inspired in mortal online was take as a name for our goddess. The name Gaia, Mother Earth and many others have been used in reality and could be interchanged with her name though we chose to keep it as Nave in keeping uniformity across our many games. Wessex uses this as our base religious structure and so its been placed here to help anyone interested to understand why our religious members preach in the name of Soldeus while warning against the nature of Umbra.
Its here so it can be discussed in case anyone is also interested in adopting this for their tribes religion. "Just because we believe it is so, does not mean you have to." If you don't agree with it ignore it and pretend its not here it wasn't posted to start a conflict but to spread our faith.

That's a little disturbing.
"The Third Difference
One day the third of all differences appeared, in the form of the Most Beautiful Goddess: Nave, full of joy, broad-bosomed and fair in all things. Though small and new, She enjoyed sculpting Her own Nature and Substance into mountains and canyons, lakes and rivers and seas, trees and grass and all such things. Upon Herself in the sight of the Gods She practiced her art, expressing many of the forms that before had only gone unseen in the Abyss. The brothers were each aroused by a similar desire, to do to Her the very same as She did to herself, and they competed for Her Hand."
