Dhumiyokhshi
The Dhumiyokhshi are three divinities sacred to vignerons (wine-cultivators), wine-makers, and vintners (wine-merchants) in Corundy. They are thought to bless grape growers and ensure a sweet harvest. They also help wine-makers produce the best wines. They are propitiated in Rhiony and Vimalia and are said to be the daughters of the god Rhio who is known as the god Babirrha in the Kalaman pantheon. In autumn, festivals and processions honoring the triad are common in these lands. The divinities are widely depicted in art in Corundy and to a lesser extent throughout the Pallathantic Region.
In Rhiony, the myth of the God Babirrha and Queen Thirchunya has been retold for millennia. The day before the wedding of King Ghubjhazya to Thirchunya, she was seduced by the god Babirrha, the ancient Kalaman god of wine and estasy. After the wedding, she gave birth to a daughter who was beautiful, healthy, and highly intelligent. For the next two years after the birth, the god Babirrha came to the queen before the King did so she gave birth to two more daughters and their appearance was nearly alike one to the other. After the king's people gathered his vintage in autumn, the daughters would press all the king's vintage miraculously in one day and one night. There is more to this legend in the cycle of tales told since very ancient times. The three daughters or Dhumiyokhshi are now propitiated as Kalaman patron divinities of wine-making. The three youthful women are widely depicted in wineries and on implements used for wine-making in Corundy and even abroad.
