Amma
The Amma were the children of the Gods, created by Menkharra from his own blood at the end of the First Age.
Throughout the Second Age the Amma lived in harmony with the Gods, building great cities and many other wonders. This was a golden age, where the Gods and Amma lived together and art of all kind flourished.
Although the Gods taught the Amma many things and granted them power, eventually some of the Amma began to feel that the Gods were denying them the true power that was their birthright. These Amma turned on the Gods and slew Menkharra while he was sleeping, using his own sword - the Banesword. Alas, who slept at his side, awoke before the Amma could strike her down as well and she took the Banesword from them and used to it kill all the Amma and destroy everything they had ever wrought.
The Saralot Thesis teaches that Humanity are the Amma reborn, cursed with mortality until they can make amends to the Gods, although few cultures outside Saralot itself adhere to this theory.
