About

Mother and Father are a pair of mytho-historical figures whom are often the protagonists in tales of wisdom or cleverness. The pair are universally portrayed amongst the many cultural groups of Arkian ancestry. Details vary from culture to culture, and there are further local regional variance within cultural groups. They are usually described as a married couple, but sometimes as brother and sister, one mortal and the other spirit, and so on, but they are always together in some fashion.
