Summary

One of the Crepuscular Twins, Apidae takes the form of a broad, golden bumblebee whose thrumming heralds the day. In playful yet pointed rivalry with his sister Omiodes, he kindles warmth and calls the living to work and wander under the sun.

Domains

• Day
• Dawn and Labor
• Pollination and Plenty
• Fellowship on the road

Influence

Apidae’s vigor swells the hours of light. In seasons of sibling strife, the length of day can lurch from a handful of hours to near-month-long stretches, reshaping markets, watches, and the simple act of sleep.

Relationships

• Twin to Omiodes
• His cadence once harmonized with Nikta’s reaping and sowing; now the balance is strained.

Worship

Hearths are swept clean, work-songs begin in chorus, and bee-combs are offered at shrines. Travelers pin bright tassels to cloaks to catch Apidae’s notice at first light.
