	In the mythos told by her clergy, Aya could not rest after her role in creating the world had concluded. She had loved her tasks, the small flourishes she added to the scenery and the color she added to the sunset. Unwilling to see all the wonder in the world go unappreciated, Aya guided the first mortals in how to use what was around them to express themselves. She showed them how to use pigments to make lines on cliff faces and cave walls, as well as how to shape clay and other materials of the earth into new forms. By doing so she provided the first spark of creativity that exploded into a multitude of forms, as the first artist taught their technique to the next, expanding around the world as the wonder of art was uncovered by all.

	Aya's holy text is the ''Divine Form'', a work of art that has been rendered and interpreted in myriad ways. There is no standard or original copy of the ''Divine Form''. Rather, its details are up to the creator of each particular version. There are some similarities between them, however - for example, they almost all include a depiction of the goddess Aya. Whether painted in a realistic form on canvas, sculpted in an abstract manner out of stone or clay, etched on a cliff face, or rendered in some other way, completion of one's personal ''Divine Form'' is seen as an important rite to Aya's most devoted followers. Not only must one undertake and complete the work, but they must first determine what particular style calls to them the strongest.

	Aya has organized churches around the world, though they are usually rather small in scope, each encompassing only a small region within a nation. Her followers are rarely concerned with religious politics or maintaining tradition in the faith, and therefore organize together more to share the joys of their works.
