Oaleed are [[Xaewoon#Xaewoon_Blue|Xaewoon Blue]] followers, but have since the ancient times developed their own mythology, centered around Mantar. Considered to be a sacred place, the early Oaleed believed that Mantar is populated by giant gods and goddesses. The pantheon of Oaleed deities is called "Stron Hoorhae" (the Song of Light).

Considered to be a sacred place, the early Oaleed believed that Mantar is populated by giant gods and goddesses. The pantheon of Oaleed deities is called "Stron Hoorhae" (the Song of Light). It is also a literal song, which lists all the deities, their abilities and role in the world.
Stron Hoorhae is the connection tissue between Oaleed's Xaewoon beliefs and the [[Eon of Eater|myth of Eater]]. Stron Hoorhae are the guardians of [[Gidna]], the world, against the hunger of Eater.
Stron Hoorhae is the connection tissue between Oaleed's Xaewoon beliefs and the [[Eon of Eater|myth of Eater]]. Stron Hoorhae are the guardians of [[Gidna]], the world, against the hunger of Eater. All Oaleed superhero warriors are thus considered to be deities or demigods who are sent to the human world in order to teach or protect, as well as spread the Stron Hoorhae.
Oaleed mythology folds back into Xaewoon Blue by stating that staying on the path of light ensures that one is under the protection of the gods. By deviating from the path, one gets lost in shadows and becomes susceptible to Eater and his minions.
== Music ==
Oaleed music tradition is one of the most influential in [[Tarnaria]] and largely established traditional Xaewoon stron singing. They employ dalas, a single string instrument, which represents one's guardian. Tarati is a flute which represents challenges and luck. Music pieces involve a duet between a dalas and a tarati, with a singer performing a stron.
In modern mainstream Xaewoon dalas typically represents [[Eternal Companion]] and tarati represents either Cangon or the Great Hornet.
