Thou traveller whom treadeth upon the path of life, mind thy step so thou dost not stray into darkness, for there shalt thou find naught but ruin.

- From The Book of the Traveller

Fareem is a female deity responsible for the creation of the Jinkou, Vammar and Tio'ca, and is unique from other known deities in that she has regularly shown herself to her peoples since time immemorial, and has as such been revered since the beginning since her presence is an indisputable evidence of her existence. Like many other deities, Fareem has a strong and clear personality and strong values. Just like the gods of The Divine Quartet each represent a strong emotion, and Ramadas being a god of cruelty and bloodthirst, Fareem is a godess of love and life, and anyone in her presence report to feel happy, worry-less, calm and borderline euphoric until the moment she leaves. Many have spoken directly to Fareem, and has reported that she has a very feminine and soothing voice, with a tone of kindness, understanding and wisdom. Fareem has no "true" form, but is very commonly depicted in Jinkou, Vammar and Tio'ca culture, and is always depicted as a slim, incredibly beautiful, and most often naked woman, either a Jinkou, Vammar or Tio'ca depending on what race the depicter belongs to.

Although Fareem is a godess of love and resents war, she does little to intervene should a war in her domain break out, as she believes that things would not get better if she intervened. Lives would be saved, but only temporarily, as the war would only be postponed. But when Nan Taijan invaded the mortal world in The Tainted War, Fareem finally realized, after her creations had lived in misery for decades under the cruel arch-demon's rule, that there was sometimes a need for violence for there to be peace. And so, she created the Guardians and the Shiroi Tsume to push back the demons and eventually slay Nan Taijan, finally ending the devastating war.
