== Mythology ==

 

Naturally heated lakes on the Horneater Peaks are called ''Oceans''. There is an Ocean on each of the Peaks. Underneath the normal water is the so-called ''Water of life''. It is said to be connected to the Gods, and Horneaters who swim in the Oceans can sometimes see the ''Place of the Gods'' (this is likely access to [[Shadesmar]] via [[Cultivation]]'s [[Perpendicularity]]). Swimming in the Oceans is said to be lethal to outsiders, though, according to [[Sigzil]], this is only because the Unkalaki execute any outsiders who swim in their Oceans.

 

According to Unkalaki legends, when someone draws the [[Bow of Hours]] it heralds "years of change"{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} Unkalaki legends speak of an ancient [[pact of the Seven Peaks]] which was made with gods. The Fal'ala'liki'nor, One Who Draws the Bow of Hours may be involved with these treaties.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}

Unkalaki have legends of a group called the [[Sleepless|Gods Who Sleep Not]].{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}

 

Both the god of the trees and the god of the waters refuse to give them shelter since they could not guarantee the safety of the Unkalaki. The god of the mountains does not outright decline the request but tells the ''tana'kai'' that his slopes are places only for spirits and they could not sustain life.

The ''tana'kai'' solves the dilemma by asking the god of the waters to place lakes on the peaks of the mountains, the mountain god to heat them with his thermal energy from the deeps of the earth and the god of the forests to bring edible plants to the now habitable areas on the mountain peaks. The gods were pleased with this solution and the Horneaters moved to the peaks.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
