The previous age was one of death, and the current age is one of life. The previous age had a culture of death, with multiform burial practices and death rituals, partially indicated by the abundance of chaste priestess statues in the Saint and Tree era architecture. Contrarily, Marika presented herself as a god of life, and celebrated birth over death. This is also a great one.
