Myth of the Jewels
Sorgensdag
Sorgensdag, was the first of Akua's Tears to be created within Akuan lore. Created when she first landed on Borea and hurt her head when crash landing. As she wept, her tears pooled into a solid gem which the man-in-green collected to be cut by Læs. Fyllikenkrasjlander soothe Akua's tears and assisted her recovery. As Læs cut the gem into shape, the chaotic god cursed the gem to always leak water and then she delivered the jewel back to the man-in-green. The man-in-green belongs was flooded, his bag overflowed with water and he casted the gem out into a depression into the ground. Creating the first lakes in Borea. As the lakes flooded he return to collect Sorgensdag from the bottom of the lake, returning the gem to Akua. Akua placed the gem within a shrine and blessed the ground which the holy site laid. Preventing the jewel from producing more water.
Tilgivelse
Tilgivelse, the second of Akua's tears to be created. Made when man-in-green spoke harshly towards Akua after a disagreement lost to time. After much time, the man-in-green returned to apologize to the goddess. Causing her to weep with joy at his return and kind words, causing another pool of tears to be formed into a gem. The man-in-green collected the gem after leaving her with a bottle of stardew. This time the man-in-green turned to Thor to cut the gem. Thor was insulted by the man-in-green request, finding the gem work not be fitting a blacksmith and as he worked on it he imbued it with a curse to make the wielder to think dark thoughts and weep uncontrollably as their failures in life. Once again the man-in-green was forced to return the cut gem to Akua. Who twice more placed the gem in the shrine so it might not continue it's harmful curse.
Ikkemer
Ikkemer, was the final of Akua's tears created. Created when the Akua was laboring to build shelters for her children and accidently hit her hand with a hammer in the process. As tears pooled once more into a gem, the man-in-green collected it deciding this time he would be the one to cut the gem. As he labored for many nights over the jewel, he grew in a fit of rage at work. Throwing it into the sea and in return the sea brought the jewel back to his workshop on the beach. The process repeated many times as the man-in-green tried to get rid of the jewel, offering it to others only to find it at his door step the next morning after. Third time he returned to Akua with her tears, announcing the gem was cursed and Akua placed it into the shrine.
