Tyrthan is the mindless creation deity who is constantly lumping everything together to form bigger things, the world exists because everything Tyrthan does is mirrored by his opposite Mokjelaan who breaks things apart. Existence is a result of these two interacting. along with stars, rocks and the odd thought nothing really happens for a few billion years at which point little mini- embodyments of things in the universe turn up they gain intelligence much quicker than the other two and swiftly adopt the persona of nature spirits. These blokes shaped and catered for the universe for a good long time eventually producing the conditions which can cause your pantheons to grow up, create civilisations or create magic. seeing that almost everything is attached to a garthytin the garthytin is then in turn bound to the world it is attached to. This is excrutiatingly painfull and drives most garthytin mad.

the Gythrati ("Gyth meaning careaker and Rati meaning people") bond with these garthytin to fulfill two functions. firstly to produce new guardians for the balance between tyrthan and mokjellaan and secondly to stop the Garthytin madness somewhat. Gythrati gain many obscure powers depending on the power and origin of their passanger. This includes Lycanthropy. Quite interesting. How 'mad' are the Gyrathi?
