23.16 The first marriage between two mortals.
Hecate, sister of Gaea and Balthus, the Warrior were the first Avalonians to marry one another. The wedding took place in the cathedral of Mercinae, and was presided by Genesis, the god of time. Most of the wedding commenced without incident, though Hecate's guildmistress, Magister, voiced his objection and challenged Balthus' affections for Hecate, whom he also loved. Hecate refused him and the bond was sealed. In recognition for her choice, the god of time declared that Hecate's firstborn child would be given the soul of a goddess. After a period, Hecate grew pregnant and her child was born - a daughter, Marianina, who rose for a time to become Marianina, goddess of the sea. Unfortunately the goddess' time in the land was short, and though her mark is left in the caves on Mercinae's southwestern shore, and in the wilderness to the south of the Chetwood Forest, Marianina has been silent for a century.
Marriages tend nowadays to be grand ceremonial occasions where two mortals undergo the rite of marriage in the presence of one of the Gods. The commitment is binding and divinely sanctified. Most weddings take place in a divine temple relevant to the bride and/or groom.
