Ewigeliebe (エーヴィリーベ, Eeviriibe), the God of Life (命の神, Inochi no Kami), is one of the Eternal Five gods in Yurgenschmidt's religion.

He presides over winter and is the source of life in the world. His divine instrument is a sword, and his divine color is white, which symbolizes snow and ice.

History

When the God of Darkness married the Goddess of Light, they had four children. In order, they were Flutrane, the Goddess of Water; Leidenschaft, God of Fire; Schutzaria, Goddess of Wind; and Geduldh, the Goddess of Earth.

Ewigeliebe, the God of Life, fell in love with Geduldh. The God of Darkness gave the two permission to marry, hoping they would fill the world with new life. But Ewigeliebe's jealous love - edged on even more by the Goddess of Chaos - consumed him, and he froze Geduldh in ice, so their child could never be born.

The world fell into winter, and The Goddess of Light began to worry about her daughter. She found Geduldh trapped and melted the ice with her rays of sunlight, and Flutrane caused the water to flood away, bringing spring to the world. Geduldh's other siblings, Leidenschaft and Schutzaria, fought to protect her from Ewigeliebe, bringing summer and autumn.

However, they could not fully defeat Ewigeliebe without preventing all new life from being born. Each year at the end of autumn, the God of Life once again traps Geduldh in ice, and her siblings must fight to free her in spring.

Culture

In noble euphemisms, Ewigeliebe is usually referenced to mean "one who passionately loves or yearns for another," often in a jealous or possessive way.

The phrase "Ewigeliebe in the spring" is used an insult to call someone useless.

The Royal Academy contains a shrine dedicated to the Ewigeliebe and him twelve subordinates, which grants a tablet, and a special word required to obtain the Grutrissheit, after one has prayed and dedicated enough mana to him. He also guards the equivalent shrine to Geduldh, whose doors will only open with his approval. The word Rozemyne was granted was Neigunsch.

Blessings

Compared to the other Gods and Subordinate Gods#Eternal Five, Ewigeliebe is not as often invoked in Religious Ceremonies and blessings. One problem is the strained relationship between the Geduldh's siblings and Ewigeliebe, which results in the failure of any spell or blessings, were life mana is combined with water, fire or wind. Only by adding earth as a mediator, can life be linked with any other kind of mana, as is demonstrated by the yearly Dedication Ritual or the blessing located at the back of the High Bishop's bible.

Praying to Ewigeliebe while wielding his sword will summon subordinates of the Lord of Winter. This drains almost all the wielder's mana, and weakens Schutzaria's Shield when nearby.

Subordinate Gods

Ewigeliebe has twelve subordinate gods, including Beischmacht the God of Sex, Cuococalura the God of Cooking, Dauerleben the God of Longevity, Schneeahst the God of Ice and Blizzards, and Schlaftraum the God of Dreams.

Trivia

• His name is most likely derived from the German words "ewige" and "liebe" which translate to "eternal love".
• When Myne adapted her playing cards to Yurgenschmidt, Ewigeliebe, represented by the sword, was used in place of the Jack.
