According to wizards and scholars, the mystical, magical force that permeates Aedes is the source of life itself. Infinitely malleable, ever changing and growing, magic makes possible the wonders of life.
It is a small logical step then, to equate the theoretical source of life with the theological concepts of the Mother of Monsters. Life in the wilds is dangerous, red in tooth and claw. According to theologians, these spawn of the Mother of Monsters live by the instincts to kill, consume, multiply and conquer. The Church of Phaeton holds the doctrine that enlightenment and purpose through ecclesiarchic doctrine is what gives life meaning, and that the wilds must be tamed accordingly.
Theological discussions aside, it is a fact that both pristine and savage lands are both home and heart of the most strange forms of flora and fauna. Owlbears, pegasi and enormous spiders are found in nature, as are fearsome chimerae, manticores and dragons.
