Kur

The Sumerian Kur: at once the mountain, the foreign land and the underworld — the "land of no return" ruled by Ereshkigal, where the dead descend and from which almost no one comes back.

Aurora

Central character of Mensageiros do Vento. Carries akashic echoes of Inanna — not as reincarnation, but as a contemporary hypostasis under the game's theosophical lens. Allied with Ereshkigal against the Demiurge. Lives in Nova Uruque, in Nova Eanna.

Mensageiros do Vento (organization)

The organization that gives the game its name. A network of mensageiros, mediators, and guardians of akashic memory — deliberately diffuse in form, purposeful in intent. Emerged in Nova Uruque ~200 years after the Day of the Apocalypse.

Nova Eanna

Aurora's home in Nova Uruque. Houses a temple in honor of An where Aurora and the Mensageiros do Vento gather to meditate and deliberate in council. Spiritual namesake of the ancient E-Anna of Uruk.

Nova Uruque

Satellite city of the Mensageiros do Vento, built in the mountains approximately 200 years after the Day of the Apocalypse. Birthplace of the organization, home of Aurora, and council hub where mensageiros gather before major missions.

Ereshkigal

Queen of the Sumerian underworld (Kur/Irkalla), elder sister of Inanna. In the game, she receives the player in the Kur and sends them to Aurora — a fundamental piece of a joint plan with her sister against the Demiurge's dominion.

Orishas

The Orishas of the Yoruba pantheon, force-deities of nature and of the human paths, worshipped in Nigeria, Benin and, in the diaspora, in Brazilian Candomblé and Umbanda. A living faith. The Wiki treats them with respect, distinguishing the religious register from the comparative reading that links every pantheon to the same source (Olódùmarè).

Buddhism

Buddhist concepts that dialogue with the esoteric lens of Mensageiros do Vento, especially those read by Helena Blavatsky in "The Voice of the Silence": the bodhisattva, the disciple (Lanu), and what it means to become a Buddha. A living doctrine, treated here with respect and in the Wiki's comparative key.

Game world

Characters, organizations, places and concepts original to the fiction of Mensageiros do Vento. Here the game's Gnostic/Theosophical lens meets real history.

Ancient places

Cities, temples and sites of Antiquity that appear in the game's lore: Mesopotamia (Ur, Uruk, Nippur, Eridu), the Levant (Paphos, Ugarit), the Mediterranean. Where the myths took place.

Roman gods

The Roman pantheon and the interpretatio romana of the Greek gods: Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury. The end of the Mediterranean line of syncretism.

Greek gods

The Olympian pantheon and pre-Hellenic deities. Focus on gods with a line of syncretism reaching Mesopotamia: Aphrodite (Paphos/Astarte), Adonis (Tammuz), Hermes.

Canaanite gods

Canaanite/Phoenician pantheon (~2000 BC onward): El, Baal, Asherah, Astarte, Anat. A cultural bridge between Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean.

Akkadian gods

Akkadian/Babylonian/Assyrian pantheon (~2300 BC onward): the Semitic heir of the Sumerian pantheon with its own emphasis. Anu, Enlil, Ea, Sin, Shamash, Ishtar.

Sumerian gods

Source-principle

Names that different traditions — living and ancient — gave to the single source-principle, prior to any nameable figure. Olódùmarè (Yoruba), Nhanderu (Mbyá-Guaraní), Dao (Chinese), Para Brahman (Vedanta), Ein Sof (Kabbalah), Wakan Tanka (Lakota) and so many other names for the same central reality that the Wiki, under An (Sumerian), treats as the Monad.
