Is anyone else curious about the origins of the gods of Aquila?
When it comes to the hierarchy of divine beings in the spiral we can trace their lineage fairly easily. Raven, Spider, and Bartelby were born from nothingness, the titans were produced by Spider and Raven, and Malory/ Bat were spawned from the emotions of their respective parent.
Where do the Aquilan gods fit into this hierarchy? They're more than just elemental spirits but they aren't on the same level of divinity possessed by raven or the elemental titans.
My best guess is that Cronus, and his subsequent divine descendants, were somehow the product of Raven reproducing with some unknown magical being. The fact that every Aquilan god has bird focused designs leads me to infer that idea. This would mean that Raven had children with an unknown "lion like" entity to produce the half bird half lion divine magical entities some time after she imprisoned spider.
