Further up the page there is a list of the major deities, all of whom are assigned (naturally) a specific element alongside their totem animal. What is curious, however, is that while the four standard classical elements and four of the seven best-known metals are represented, a) copper (at the very least) is missing, and b) gemstones such as diamonds and emeralds--known from India and Egypt respectively--are given prominence. Now, it’s understandable that perhaps the Ezičimi would have known about gold and silver, and could possibly have learned about ironworking from the Wede:i--but why not copper, from the bronze-working they surely had at the time instead of the iron that the Cuzeians to the north only started working some 350 years later? Or perhaps there was a copper deity, but they were discarded by the whims of religious politics in Xengiman? And what of the gemstones? Given their relative scarcity in early post-Neolithic Earth societies--especially nomadic ones--how did it come to be that they could be assigned to the gods of a pastoral people, even one that expanded so quickly and had such trade with the more advanced civilizations to the north and south? Perhaps they originally were associated with other stones, or even with more classical elements, and their elemental connections were slowly subverted?In the early days the Wede:i gods had totems, and the Ezičimi gods elements; the fused gods had both.
Just a small query, nothing too big one hopes.
