Millagua’s marriage to Isshakhu was a fire that burned bright and beautiful, but when the flames died down, the coals left on the fireplace were ugly.

Even so, there are many temples in Cannesia dedicated to the iconic duo. There’s even a small city on an island in the distant west where the cult of Millagua and Issakhu lives, even today.

Khom, as the island is called, is where Isshakhu brought Millagua to take his seed and impregnate herself. Unfortunately for Millagua, he was unconscious for the entire ordeal. That is why, when he was woken up ten hundred years later, he was surprised to find that he had a son.

His son’s name was Siyn, and Siyn woke up his father by stealing into his mother's enchanted jewelry room and returning the amber necklace to Millagua.

You see, Siyn was insecure about his father's reputation. The fact was, all through Siyn's life, the gods ridiculed Millagua right to his frozen face, and right in front of his son, who had never even known the man, save for embarrassing stories told by Isshakhu when the mood took her. Worse was that she increasingly told her stories in the company of romantic suitors, who laughed on in front of Siyn's unknowing father. Worse still was that Siyn's mother had eventually gone and chosen Ziph, who was her favorite suitor, and now Siynh found himself sharing his personal space with two bratty half-sisters.

Well, enough was enough. The shame had been too much to bear. Siyn broke into his mother's quarters, burgled her enchanted amber necklace, and promptly woke his father up.
