The belief in giant gods and goddesses originated in the mythology of the [[Oaleed]]. According to the myths, the giants live on the hill of Mantar. Mantar was considered sacred land and the Oaleed did not allow anyone to climb the hill. Eventually the myths changed and while Mantar is still considered sacred, the idea was transformed into it being the only true home for the Oaleed, a notion that was probably driven by Oaleed losing territory throughout the 1-2 [[CSR]]. The stories then placed the gods in the sky above the hill.

The Coming of Vaona was a return to the original myths and the belief that the gods are about to punish humans for building a city on the sacred hill. According to the cult, Vaona, the Giant Goddess of Divine Anger, was about to come and destroy the city. True believers should inform mantarians about the coming doom and prepare them for the coming of Vaona, which meant making everyone leave Mantar, using any means possible. Eventually, this belief evolved into a stronger conviction that Vaona will punish humanity if Mantar is not cleansed in time by her arrival, which added to the sense of urgency.
