Yomal

Yomal shaped the Hoflin to love the soil -- they had no peer in planting and growing.

Being Aenire, one of the radiant host of the Ere All, Yomal was a being of vast spiritual presence and grace. In the early days of Erenth, she was deceived, along with her kin, into shaping life upon the world. To breathe being into her creation, she relinquished her divine essence, giving up her ability to take physical form. In this sacrifice, she bound herself forever to her chosen people—the Halflings.

From her essence were they born, marked by her love of soil, hearth, and harvest. Yomal imbued them with an affection for growing things, the joy of shared meals, and the patience of steady labor. Unlike the creations of some of her peers, the Halflings bore no lust for conquest or hunger for power. Instead, they carried a quiet strength rooted in the land, living close to the rhythm of the earth.

Though her spirit could no longer walk in flesh, Yomal endures as a presence felt in tilled fields, in seed sown with care, and in the laughter of halfling homes. To her children, she is a distant yet ever-near mother, whose blessing ensures that their smallness is not weakness, but a gift of humility and resilience.

At the coming of the 8th Age, Yomal will be reunited to all her people in bodily form and live together with them in Yomenth, a world built for her and hers.
