(Shameless advertisement of potential new canon. Link here.)Infelia, the patron goddess of humanity, is the youngest daughter of Sol and Luna. Her birth was considered very bad by the gods and she was thus alienated by her siblings and parents for many millennia. She found solace in humanity, gifting the early humans knowledge and power over fire. She later became the goddess of civilisation, her sphere also including trickery and change. Her acceptance back into the fold of the gods is symbolised as the recognition of misfortune, disease, dishonesty and other ills as natural happenings in the universe vital to the advancement of all of creation.
(We only expected that the French might get revanchist ideas and try to mess Europe by violating Alsatian, Lorrainer, or Walloon independence. Thankfully, no such thing occured... and the 2nd French-American war and later the creation of the Hague Treaty Organization essentially made the idea of North Germany fighting against France moot in perpetuity. The Dutch, we were planning on buying Suriname from, since they'd been a historical ally who'd done nothing wrong for nearly a century.) /skip
