Deities - 3.0

Lore: Deities

Unlike in most settings, deities are not in some far off plane or realm where they have no influence.
Instead, deities exist within the mortal realm, and actively encourage mortal races to different acts.
Some scholars believe that the deities of the world are no such gods and simply highly magical beings,
but no proof either way exists. Unlike standard D&D deities, those in this world are innately less
destructive as this is their only place of existence (there are no planes to escape to). Extraplanar
creatures such as elementals or demons/devils originate from manifest zones -- 100-mile spheres around where
a deity lives. For example: Fire Elementals are born within Kythri's manifest zone when hair falls from
her head. Deities also lack portfolios--they're not held up by some overgod to act in a certain way.
Additionally, due to the lack of deities (Only 16), deities have favorite weapon styles instead of specific weapons.
For example, Kythri's favored weapon in a standard campaign would be a greatsword. In this setting,
however, her favored weapon is all two-handed slashing weapons (which includes one-handed weapons when
wielded in two hands). Weapons with multiple types of attack only count as favored weapons when using
the attack type that is favored. (IE: A dagger can be piercing or slashing, but only counts as a slashing
favored weapon when used as slashing).

Weapon Styles:
Slashing - All slashing weapons (except ranged weapons) Ex: Longsword
Bludgeoning - All bludgeoning weapons (except ranged weapons): EX: Mace
Piercing - All piercing weapons (except ranged weapons) Ex: Rapier
Multi-handed - Whenever a creature uses all available hands to hold a weapon.
	       IE: A creature with four arms would have to use all four to hold one weapon.
	       This never counts for creature attacks
	       Ex: Greatsword
Multi-weapon - Whenever a creature holds multiple weapons in multiple hands.
	       IE: Dual-wielding, if a creature has 4 arms, it must hold 4 weapons, and cannot
	       hold two weapons (two hands for each).
	       Unarmed attacks and creature attacks on creatures that have multiple of the same attack
	       count as multi-weapon (IE: A wolf has two claws, so it counts. But it only has one bite, so the bite does not.)
	       Shields are classified as weapons for the purposes of multi-weapon.
	       Ex: Dual-wielding, wolf claws
Single-handed - Whenever using a weapon in one hand and nothing in your offhand (or any other hands).
		Creature attacks that only have one source, such as a wolf's bite, count as single-handed.
		Ex: Rapier (nothing in offhand), Bite attacks (for creatures with one mouth)
Ranged - Whenever using a projectile weapon or one designed to launch projectiles. Creature projectile
	 attacks count as ranged attacks (but spells, spell like abilities, etc. do not)
	 Ex: Longbow, Throwing Axe, Manticore Spikes

Loyinar

Titles: The Lover, Lord of Life, The Overgrowth
Symbol: A pink heart covered in vines
Manifest Zone: Sunrise Vale
Alignment: CG
Clergy Alignments: CG, CN, NG
Domains: Healing, Animal, Glory
Favored Style: Mutli-handed, Bludgeoning (Quarterstaff)

Dogma:

Cherish all life, for all life is sacred. In time, all will succumb to death, so while you live enjoy
life and relish in it's blessings. Live every day to it's fullest, do not waste your life in sorrow.
Do not be afraid to express love, for life is limited. Live life without dwelling on past mistakes.
Allow yourself to live, and enjoy it while you are able.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Loyinar's temples are most often used for weddings, and are dressed in pinks and greens. Oft times
his temples are decorated with living things--plants, animals, etc. His worshippers often rarely
worship him alone, and are most made up of young couples. He is a popular god, but rarely do people
devote themselves entirely to him. His clergy are expected to wear pinks or greens, and they pray for
their spells at dawn. Loyinar has no holy days, but his clergy are often a part of weddings and participate
in the celebrations.


History:

Loyinar was the third deity to be born into the world, his sphere crashing after Shyiknarak's. His
crash imbued him with the powers of growth and nature, and he is responsible for much of the wildlife
among mortals. He was the first divine to take a lover--Marana, and the first to have children. He,
like Sharru, opted to stay out of the Godswar. He disliked the idea of fighting with his offspring.
After the Godswar, he has spent much of his time attempting to repair the connections between Host
and Betrayer.


Relations:

Loyinar is the husband of Marana and father of Kythri, Vyl, Sharru and Jarri. He remains on relatively
good terms with his four daughters despite their part in the Betrayal. He regularly meets with Sharru
and Vyl, and occasionally with Jarri. Kythri dislikes him, despite his attempts to rebuild their
relationship. Among the host, he has no enemies and is generally a well-liked god. He regularly
defends his wife's actions against scrutiny from Ashuni and Raashi.

Marana

Titles: Lady Death, The Hereafter, The End of All
Symbol: A black door in a black hallway, slightly open with light escaping
Manifest Zone: The Hereafter
Alignment: TN
Clergy Alignments: NG, NE, CN, LN, TN
Domains: Repose, Death, Destruction
Favored Style: Multi-handed, Piercing (Longspear)

Dogma:

In time, all with succumb to death. Fear not the dead, and grieve them not. Death is accepting, and
will not turn any away who come to her. Weep not over the body of those who have passed on, for it
is their soul that will continue on, not their shell. Do not be too hasty to deliver others to their
death, for in time you will join them in the hereafter and beyond.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

When mortals die, their souls are taken to the Hereafter, where the last until their souls come to
accept their lives and deaths. Not even Marana knows what happens to their souls after they disappear
from the Hereafter though she claims they travel to a place known as 'the Beyond'. This uncertainty
keeps her from receiving many dedicated worshipers. Like Loyinar she has many who worship her, but
few who dedicate themselves to her. Those who do become her Clergy are expected to wear simple garbs
in browns, blacks or grays. Their duties involve funeral rites and consoling the grieving.
Necromancers often worship Marana, for she is the original source of all undead. While generally
considered evil, Necromancers and their undead are not innately any less moral than any other
person. However, most people and even deities fail to see this, leading to Marana's temples being
torn down--for fear of her minions. Instead of having her own temples, Marana's clergy often
perform their duties in temples to Loyinar.


History:

Marana was the fourth deity to be born into the world, her sphere crashing on the opposite side of
Loyinar's. He crash imbued her with power over death and the dead, and began her divine life as a
quiet and secretive deity. For a time she spurned Loyinar's advances, but eventually let him into her
life. Together they had four children--Sharru, Vyl, Kythri and Jarri. Before the Godswar, while she
was raising her children her attitude changed signifigantly. She became more happy, and outgoing, and
was generally a energetic goddess. After the Betrayal, she somberly fought in the Godswar, and the
changes she had experienced with Loyinar slowly reverted, changing back into a quiet and reclusive deity.
Worse, in the Godswar, she was denounced by both Ashuni and Raashi for her use of undead for warfare.
As a result, she has once again returned to a quiet goddess, allowing her husband to speak for her and
staying away from the other divinities. She harbors a small dislike for her daughters, for forcing her
to fight against them, but her opinions on the rest of the Host and Betrayers is known only to Loyinar.


Relations:

Marana is the wife of Loyinar and mother of Kythri, Vyl, Sharru and Jarri. Unlike her husband, she
rarely meets with her four daughters, and harbors a dislike for them for their part in the Betrayal.
As the goddess of death, she often falls under scrutiny of less accepting members of the host such as
Ashuni and Raashi who condone her acceptance of all dead--undead or no. She is good friends with Ur'ran,
with whom she shares similar interests, and greatly appreciates her husband's efforts on her behalf.

Yinsht

Titles: Lady of Progress, The Creator, The Inventor
Symbol: A half-constructed house
Manifest Zone: Godswatch
Alignment: NG
Clergy Alignments: LG, CG, NG, TN
Domains: Community, Creation, Artifice
Favored Style: Single-weapon, Bludgeoning (Hammer)

Dogma:

Be adventurous in your thoughts. Allow your mind to be free and do not be afraid to explore what you
find. Create to benefit yourself and those around you. Push ever forward, in the never-ending quest
to improve the lives of yourselves and other. Build and create what you do not have, rather than
covet what others have. Honor Yinsht and yourself by creating new things or improving the old.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Clergy of Yinsht are hard to distinguish from worshipers or inventors. They have no set garb, and
are encouraged to create--whether that is new magic, new technology, or simply a better way to make
and existing object. Both her clergy and worshipers drive inventors forward, and those who create
are welcomed by the church. Yinsht lacks temples, as she instead lives among mortals in the city of
Godswatch. Those who wish to honor her can simply go to her castle and do so in person. Yinsht has
no holy days, and her clergy may pray for spells in any daylight hour.


History:

Yinsht was the fifth deity to be born into the world, her sphere crashing into the bottom of the heavens.
She gained the powers to create and build from her impact, and with it began the creation of society.
Unlike the first four spheres, Yinsht crashed much later than Shyiknarak, Marana, Loyinar and the Forgotten.
Because of this, and because she was the first of the second falling, she struggled to find a place
among the established divines. In response, she built up grand cities and brought about many magical
and technological advances, earning her respect among her peers and mortals alike. During the Godswar
she fought against the betrayers, and despite having less followers than other deities at the time,
her few golems proved plenty powerful to deal with the superior numbers of other divines. After the
Godswar, she's devoted her time to helping mortals with cultural, magical and technological advancement.
She is the only deity who lives among mortals, within Godswatch. She regularly meets mortals and
guides their efforts forward.


Relations:

Yinsht is the mother of Soal and wife of Shyiknarak. When Soal and Shyiknarak left the host to found
the betrayers, she was expected to follow. However, she proved herself to the rest of the host by
fighting against the Betrayers in the Godswar. Yinsht managed to convince her son, Soal, to rejoin the
host and in doing so won the Godswar for them. Because of this, Yinsht is on good terms with most of
the Host, and her practices rarely offend any within it. She strongly dislikes her son's relationship
with Jarri, but allows him to continue for fear of driving him back to the Betrayers. She pities her
husband's choice to turn on the host, considering him misguided and tried to convince him to return, to
little avail.

Soal

Titles: Lord of Battle, The Grand Strategist, Master of War
Symbol: A round shield with two spears behind it
Manifest Zone: The Eternal Battleground
Alignment: CN
Clergy Alignments: TN, CE, CG, CN
Domains: War, Strength, Protection
Favored Style: Single-handed, Piercing (Shortspear)

Dogma:

Be bold and cunning in your decisions. Never back down or show your fear. Stare your opponent in the
eyes and curse his name even as your blood slickens his blade. Never beg, and never surrender. To
admit fear is the greatest dishonor. However, do not fight recklessly. A military retreat is not a
defeat, and dying pointlessly does not aid your cause. When faced with a superior power, do not flee
in fear. Do all in your power to harass and defy it, and bring it low as soon as you are able. Train
both body and mind, do not allow yourself to become complacent, even in peacetimes. Be ready for war
at all times, and welcome war when it comes.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Temples to Soal often double as war camps, often moving around and repositioning. His Clergy themselves
often are warriors of some type, and are encouraged to strength their martial prowess as much as their
faith. Among Soal's clergy, the greatest dishonor is to be afraid. His clergy are expected to fight
courageously despite any odds. Worshippers of Soal include mercenary bands and soldiers, any who
fight often tend to worship Soal over other gods. Soal's clergy pray for their spells during morning
practice, and celebrate no holy days.


History:

Soal is the son of Yinsht and Shiknarak. He was a quarrelsome child, and was quick to accept his father's
offer to break the status quo. He joined the Betrayers at the beginning of the Godswar and was key
in both slaying The Forgotten and shattering the crystal ring of the heavens. During the Godswar,
Soal won every battle against the Host that he fought, only coming close to defeat when pit against
Cyren. However, he saw the destruction that he was causing upon the mortal races, and pitied them.
With his mother's urging, he re-joined the Host to put an end to the Godswar, quickly defeating his
father's army. His re-entrance to the Host caused the calculative Gravoe to pull his support from the
Betrayers, and his lover, Jarri, surrendered rather than fighting Soal in combat. The remaining Betrayers
opposed him for a time, Vyl and Zych's armies trading battles for a time before eventually falling to Soal.
Kythri fought against him for some time after Vyl and Zych, but surrendered at Shyiknarak's request.
With Sharru as the only remaining Betrayer who hadn't surrendered, he marched on her territory only
to be un-expectantly defeated by Sharru's forces. After their battle, he reached out to her with
a truce, which she accepted, thus ending the Godswar. After the Godswar, Soal has found himself cast in
negative light from both the Host and the Betrayers, having fought against both. As a result, he has
kept his soldier's training, preparing for a second war--perhaps one he'd have to fight alone.


Relations:

Soal is the son of Yinsht and Shyiknarak. When the Godswar began, he left the host with his father and
waged war on them, winning many battles. His victories strained his relationship with those in the Host,
but he was re-admitted to their ranks for fear of his skill and his mother's work. He has a shaky
relationship with the host, who are afraid he'll turn on them again, including his mother. His father
hates him for his betrayal and undermining of his own power. Him and Jarri are lovers, and raised Syra
with her. Because he raised their daughter instead of stealing her back, Ashuni and Cyren hate Soal and
have tried to have him removed from the Host multiple times.

Ashuni

Titles: The Free-Spirit, The Unbound, The Faithful
Symbol: A broken chain
Manifest Zone: Skyswept Valleys
Alignment: CG
Clergy Alignments: CG, CN, NG
Domains: Liberation, Chaos, Luck
Favored Style: Single-weapon, Piercing (Shortsword)

Dogma:

Be free, and let others be free around you. Do not restrict and prevent others from being chained down
too. Flow like the wind, but do not break your promises or betray your own desires. Keep faithful
to those who you've pledged yourself to, as long as they remain faithful to you. Should your
pledges and promises be broken by those they are made to, again flow free.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers

Temples to Ashuni are often mistaken for temples to Jarri, as both often are symbolized by the wind;
a fact that annoys Ashuni to no end. Ashuni's worshipers are often adventurous types or mercenaries,
who remain loyal to their employer for the agreed time, but only for that time. Clergy to Ashuni
often go on holy missions, intent on destroying slavery in suspect places. Her clergy wear reds and whites.
Ashuni has a holy day on the first of every month where her worshippers choose to remain loyal to their
current employer or task for the next month, or break free of it to find another. Ashuni's clergy
pray for their spells over a pair of broken shackles, though there is no set time of day to do so.


History:

Ashuni was the sixth deity to be born into the world, coming second in the second falling. Her sphere
crashed into the edge of the crystal ring of heaven, bounced and landed in a second spot, imbuing her
with the powers of both chaos and luck. Her mix of powers gave Shyiknarak a hard time when assigning
her to certain roles, and her chaotic spirit led her to assuming the role of goddess of freedom. She,
from the very beginning, disliked Shyiknarak for his rigorous structure of the heavens. She activly
worked against him even before the Betrayal, and after the Betrayal she was happy to go to war with
Shyiknarak. When she learned that her daughter, Syra, had been stolen by Kythri and the betrayers,
she devoted all of her efforts to the Host and their war against the Betrayers. Despite her chaotic
tactics, her anger made her a troublesome opponent for Soal, and though she never defeated him, he
did earn her ire in the Godswar, and she refused to fight along side him once he returned to the host.
After the Godswar, she continually tried to free Syra from Jarri and Soal's care, and was overjoyed
when Syra left the two to make her own name. Ashuni recently has been trying to influence Syra,
though her success is only moderate.


Relations:

Ashuni is the wife of Cyren and mother of Syra. She heavily participated in the Godswar alongside Marana,
where she grew to hate the goddess' use of undead, which she considered to be an abomination and destruction
of their freedom. She loathes Soal, Jarri and Kythri for stealing away her daughter. Among the host
she is considered to be a volatile goddess, but one with good intentions. Most of the host lack the
patience to deal with her, and as such she is oft ostracized. Her hate for the betrayers prevents
much interaction with them. Among the host, she is often voiced by Cyren.

Cyren

Titles: The Wise, Lord of Time, The Patient
Symbol: A book where all the pages are paper-thin clocks
Manifest Zone: The Sands of Time
Alignment: TN
Clergy Alignments: LN, NG, NE, CN, TN
Domains: Time, Scalykind, Knowledge
Favored Style: Multiweapon, Slashing (Kukri)

Dogma:

Be calm and patient. Do not make brash decisions and instead think through your options. Select the
option which you have determined to be best, and act on it. Be open-minded, willing to change your
opinions if new information is presented; but take your time to determine if the information is worthy.
Keep note of the past and remember it for the future, for all that has occurred will again.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Cyren's temples are many, and often are built into clock towers. He is a patient god, and rewards his
clergy that likewise are patient and take time to make the best decisions. His clergy dress in silvers
and whites, and pray for their spells at intervals of 24 hours from when they first took vows. Cyren's
worshipers are less common than clergy, as the idea of worshiping time doesn't often appeal to people,
and those that do worship him often fully devote themselves. Cyren has no holy days.

History:

Cyren was the seventh deity to crash into the heavens--though only because Ashuni struck the ring
before he did, he landed before her. His landing was nearby to Ashuni's, and nearly at the same time,
and they met each other before they met Shyiknarak. He was imbued with power over the flow of time, and
using it, learned more than most in a very short time. He was very fond of Ashuni's spirit, and in time
they grew close and had a child. His daughter, Syra, was stolen away by Kythri at the beginning of the
Godswar, drawing him into the fight against the Betrayers. He fought against Soal, and it was his strategies
that prevented the swift destruction of the Host in the war. After the Godswar, when Syra was not returned
to him and Ashuni, he commended Soal for his strategies and gave Soal his blessing to raise his daughter.
After the Godswar, Cyren has spent most of his time with his wife, following her schemes.


Relations:

Cyren is the husband of Ashuni and father of Syra. He supported Ashuni in the Godswar, during which
he made enemies with the Betrayers. Cyren is a very accepting god, and harbors no grudge against the
Betrayers as a whole, though he still dislikes Kythri for stealing his daughter. He is fond of Soal
and Jarri for raising her, though he tries to avoid showing it around his wife. Among the host, Cyren
is seen as a very level-headed god and is honored for being the only strategist among the Host who could
match Soal in the Godswar.

Raashi

Titles: Lady of Light, The Sanguine, The Noonday Sun
Symbol: A dark-robed figure holding an orb of light above their head in the darkness
Manifest Zone: The Shimmering Sands
Alignment: LG
Clergy Alignments: LG, LN, NG
Domains: Glory, Good, Sun
Favored Style: Multi-weapon, Bludgeoning (Morningstars)

Dogma:

Shroud yourself in Raashi's light, and use it to strike down evil. Bring your light into the darkness,
and let yourself illuminate it's shadows. Be strong and keep hope, even as your own light dwindles.
Aid those in need, and destroy those who would do others harm.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Raashi's temples are numerous, and home to many monastic and paladin orders, as well as the clergy of
Ur'ran. Her temples are dressed in whites and golds, and are designed to let in as much light as possible.
Her clergy, likewise, wear grabs of whites and golds. Many of Raashi's clergy multi-class as paladins,
and are expected to be ready to fight for their goddess at any time. Raashi's worshipers are many,
and as one of the most prolific deities, she oft has her worshipers fully devote themselves to her.
Many worshipers seeking to serve Ur'ran begin by serving Raashi. Raashi has one holy day, on the
summer solstice. Her clergy pray for their spells at noon.


History:

Raashi was the eigth deity to be born into the world. She crashed into the heavens nearest the sun,
and received powers related to light. She quickly grew close to the reclusive Ur'ran, and they were
the second pair of the deities to marry and produce offspring, despite being the youngest pair.
With opposing powers and philosophy, Raashi grew to dislike Marana, but she was fond of Loyinar, who
kept the peace between the two. At the beginning of the Godswar, upon learning that her sons had joined
with Shyiknarak, she flew into rage and quickly raised an army to attack them. It was by Ur'ran's advice
to wait for Cyren that she narrowly avoided a trap set by Soal, and her own death. She fought heavily
in the Godswar under Cyren, and then under Soal. Raashi found, during the war, that she had a love for
combat, and does not begrudge the Betrayers for their war any longer. Before Soal returned to the host,
she fought along side Marana, and grew to loathe the goddess of Death. After the Godswar, she has
spent most of her time fostering relationships among the Host, and traveling to and from Ur'ran's
obsidian fortress.


Relations:

Raashi is the wife of Ur'ran and mother of Zych and Gravoe. She fought heavily in the godswar
alongside Marana, who's use of undead offended her. She acts as a spokesperson for her very secretive
husband, and is generally well accepted among the Host. She dislikes the Betrayers, but appreciates
the chance to show off her powers that they created. Raashi dislikes that her husband spends so much
time locked away in his fortress, to which she alone is allowed free access.

Ur'ran

Titles: Lord of Dusk, The Forbidden, Guardian of Secrets
Symbol: A leather gauntlet inscribed with an image of a shield
Manifest Zone: The Obsidian Fortress
Alignment: LN
Clergy Alignments: LE, LN, LG, TN
Domains: Darkness, Mind, Protection
Favored Style: Two-Handed Slashing (Scythe)

Dogma:

The darkest night and the blackest shadow are nothing compared to the horrors that can dwell in one's
own mind. It is the darkness in every person's mind that is the deepest. Those who delve too deep
into their own darkness risk drawing back that which dwells within. Live within the light, for it is
light alone that can save you. Always fear the dark, lest you be consumed by it.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Ur'ran actively discourages anyone from worshipping him. He refuses to grant spells to most people,
and as such, only a few dedicated sects of followers worship him. He has no temples, and his clergy
worship instead at Raashi's temples. His clergy wear black, fully-covering robes and hoods. Ur'ran's
clergy often provide protection--especially mental protection--to those who seek their aid. His clergy
pray for their spells at midnight, except on days of the new moon, on which they pray at noon.


History:

Ur'ran is the ninth and final deity to crash into the heavens before they were destroyed. He crashed
in to the side of the heavens opposite the sun, and was imbued with the powers of darkness. Ur'ran
was a very secretive god, even before the Godswar, speaking rarely to anyone besides Raashi. It is
said that his crash gave him access to dark and terrible secrets that tear at his mind. Whether or
not this is true, it is true that Jarri stole a tome from him, which was given to Zych. Whatever
was contained in the stolen tome changed the formerly well-mannered Zych into his current, much more
sinister self. Nobody truly knows if Ur'ran participated in the Godswar or not--he never actually fought
in a battle, but Raashi--who was one of the most active warriors--often visited him. After the Godswar,
Ur'ran wandered the land for a time, eventually finding the cave where he created his Obsidian Fortress.
Nobody except Raashi know why he chose to live in that spot, nor why he refuses to let even his servants
into his fortress.


Relations:

Ur'ran is the husband of Raashi and father of Zych and Gravoe. His motives are very unclear, and
he never directly participated in the Godswar. Raashi regularly meets with him, and it is hard to
determine how many of her actions are influenced by him. Because of his secrecy, his relationship with
the Host is strained, and few trust him. Marana, however, gets along well with Ur'ran, both having
similar opinions on the world. Among the Betrayers he is disliked by Shyiknarak for not joining his rebellion,
despite the Lord of All's personal request. He is hated by his son, Zych, for hiding secrets from him.
It is unclear whether Ur'ran returns this hate for Zych's theft. He and Gravoe seem to get along well,
and he's quite fond of Sharru.

Shyiknarak

Titles: The Betrayer, Lord of All, The Old One
Symbol: A gem-encrusted crown
Manifest Zone: Skyreach Mountain
Alignment: LE
Clergy Alignments: Non-Chaotic
Domains: Trickery, Nobility, Law
Favored Style: Multiweapon, Slashing (Longswords)

Dogma:

Bow before Shyiknarak, and work your hardest beneath him. Work to both please him and yourself.
Take pride in your work, for it is by your own hands that it is done. Do not rely on others,
instead let others rely on you. Set an example of hard work and diligence, and give praise to
Shyiknarak for doing the same for you. Respect and obey authority, but do not lose yourself in the
process. Remember that the authority of Shyiknarak overrules all, both of mortals and gods. Serve
Shyiknarak before all else, and have those under you do the same.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Shyiknarak's clergy are both numerous and varied. Shyiknarak is thought of as an evil deity by those
who look only to the Celestial Host's teachings, but those within his church consider him just as just,
if not more than the host. His clergy are expected to wear something made of gold or silver, and oft
don purple robes for ceremonies. Shyiknarak's clergy pray for their spells at noon, when the sun is
highest in the sky.
Temples to Shiknarak are lushly decorated with gold and gems, or any other valuable material available.
His temples, unlike that of the other betrayers, are welcomed even within primarily host-worshiping
cities, though many of the host's clergy dislike that fact.
Worshippers of Shiknarak tend to be among the nobility, but it is fairly common for anyone in a position
of power (General, Captain, etc.) to worship him.
Shyiknarak has no holidays related specifically to him.


History:

Shyiknarak was one of the original nine divinities that were born with the world. His sphere was the
first to crash, striking the top of the heavens and imbuing him with the power and wisdom to rule.
As the other spheres crashed, he placed the divines into place according to where they struck.
Shyiknarak ruled justly for a time, and the world was at peace. But in time, the other deities
began to come together and have offspring. Shyiknarak himself took Yinsht as his wife, and
together they had a son, Soal. These new deities were a change to the world, they came
without a sphere and there was no way to sort them. For a time, the original divines suppressed
the power of their children, fearing their unstable or malicious attitudes. Shyiknarak, however,
took pity on the new divines, and tried to reason with the other deities into releasing their binds.
However, the suggestion met with strong refusal--even by Ashuni who promoted freedom in all its forms.
The divines feared that setting the children loose would result in the destruction of the world they
had made. Convinced that he could do better than the other divines, who had become too afraid to let
their own blood live their lives, led a rebellion against the other original divinities. He and the
eight children shattered the crystal ring--a ring of star-stuff that the deities lived on in the heavens,
causing them to plummet to the earth and creating the first of the manifest zones. They also
managed to slay a god who's name is now lost to time, before the other seven divinities could react.
He broke the bonds on their children, and began the Godswar--a bloody conflict that enveloped all life.
The original divinities were stronger than their children, but Shyiknarak's son, Soal's brilliant
tactics won the now-called Betrayer victory after victory. However, Soal had begun to see the destruction
his fellow children were causing, and had a change of heart, rejoining his mother in the Celestial Host
and in exchange for keeping his powers, he led the host to swift victory against the betrayers, banishing
them to the corners of the earth. To this day, Shyiknarak loathes his son's betrayal, and plots for
a day when he will lead the heavens once more.


Relations:

Shyiknarak is fawned over by Kythri who he continually rejects due to her unstable personality.
He is also respected by the other members of the betrayers as the leader who led them from the
host's oppression. He loathes his son, Soal who returned to the host after first following
him and the other Betrayers. He is hated by all of the Host except for his son, Soal and
his former wife Yinsht, who instead pity him.

Kythri

Titles: Flame-Queen, Storm's Fury, Lady of Fire
Symbol: A single flaming eye.
Manifest Zone: The Infernal Pools
Alignment: CE
Clergy Alignments: CE, CN, NE
Domains: Chaos, Fire, Evil
Favored Style: Two-Handed Slashing (Greatsword)


Dogma:

Calm is a way to suppress and control. Forgiveness is only weakness. Seethe against those who
wrong you, plot and destroy them as long as you live. Do not forgive, do not show mercy. Seize
revenge whenever you're wronged. Hunt and destroy that which has hurt you. Anger is your strength
and your shield. Do not let yourself by lulled into security by the lies and deceptions of others.
Trust nobody, and burn all who oppose you.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Kythri's worshippers are typically found within sects of people who have been oppressed or wronged.
Races that have traditionally been hated and scorned often worship Kythri and seek vengeance.
Temples to Kythri typically are dressed in deep reds and oranges and preferably are placed near
natural sources of heat. Most temples of Kythri double as training grounds, as her worshipers
train in order to slay those who have wronged them. Temples to Kythri are common, but are abandoned
often due to the chaotic nature of her worshippers.
Kythri's Clergy are expected to wear reds, oranges, or blacks. They pray for their spells at sunrise
with a hand over an open flame. If no flame is available, they may instead cut their palm.
They have one holiday on the summer solstice, in which massive bonfires are erected and kept
burning throughout the day.


History:

Kyrthi is the second youngest of the four elemental sisters. In the celestial host she was constantly
kept in line by her parents, which frustrated her to no end. She despised Ashuni, jealous
of her freedom and angry that she didn't do anything 'worthwhile' with it.
Before his betrayal, Shyiknarak worked on releasing the binds put on Kythri's power in order to
make her a more valuable ally. His work for her has earned him Kythri's affections,
as nearly everyone within the host and the betrayers despises or finds her too unstable to befriend.


Relations:

Kythri is the daughter of Loyinar and Marana, younger sister of Vyl and Sharru; and older sister to Jarri.
She abandoned her parents among the Celestial Host when Shyiknarak betrayed them. She loves Shyiknarak,
but his constant denial of her advances is a source of great anger for her. Kythri is generally hated
among the host, but she is especially hated by Ashuni and Cyren for stealing their child from them.

Vyl

Titles: Ice-Queen, Beauty of the Deep, Storm's Embrace
Symbol: A circle containing a sunset over water
Manifest Zone: Ice-Queen's Depths
Alignment: CN
Clergy Alignments: CE, TN, CG, CN
Domains: Water, Charm, Weather
Favored Style: Single-handed, Piercing (Rapier)


Dogma:

Flow like the waves, let your thoughts and actions be free and changing. Strict order only serves
to restrict those with the most talent. Seek what it is you desire, do not be held back by
self-imposed or society-imposed restrictions when it comes to finding your desires. Flow free and
crash upon any who try to break your waves. Feelings are tools you can use to find your desires,
and make free use of those who leave theirs unguarded. Above all, keep your freedom. Do not allow
yourself to be constrained, and encourage others to do the same.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Vyl's worshipers are common, but often practice in secret. Open worship of Vyl is acceptable upon
the seas, and often sailors will pray to her when faced with hostile weather. Pirates also often
worship Vyl as the goddess who controls the seas. Temples to Vyl are very rare, as they are built
underwater. Typically only elves who can breathe underwater serve at Vyl's temples, but there are
some that are magically warded to allow air inside. Clergy of Vyl are expected to wear blacks and
dark blues or greens. Vyl's Clergy are expected to pray for their spells at first sight of stars,
though she allows them to pray at any time during the night, provided they are unable to see the stars.
Vyl has no holidays, but her clergy are expected to avoid work when possible whenever it is raining.


History:

Vyl is the second oldest daughter of the four elemental sisters. She collaborated with Shyiknarak
initially, and is suspected to have been the one to inspire him to begin the Godswar. She was a
reserved goddess most of her life before the Godswar. At the beginning of the Godswar she managed
to tempt both Gravoe and Zych to the side of the Betrayers with promises of wealth and knowledge.
After the Godswar, most of her efforts have been spent trying to influence the newest goddess, Syra.


Relations:

Vyl is the daughter of Loyinar and Marana, and sister of Kythri, Sharru and Jarri. She abandoned her
parents in the Celestial Host during the betrayal, and tempted both Zych and Gravoe to follow her.
She is generally disliked by the Host, though not as harshly as some of the other Betrayers. Among
the Betrayers, she is in a shaky relationship with Gravoe, and has been with Zych in the past. Her
opinion of Shyiknarak seems to be neutral, and she has keen interest in Syra.

Sharru

Titles: Earth-Queen, Storm's Heart, The Tremorous
Symbol: A mountain covered in trees
Manifest Zone: Eversleep Woods
Alignment: LN
Clergy Alignments: LG, LN, LE, TN
Domains: Earth, Plant, Animal
Favored Style: Multi-handed, Bludgeoning (Maul)

Dogma:

Be patient, do not rush. Allow others to move first, and act only when it benefits you most. Watch,
wait, learn, and only strike when absolutely necessary. It is not the movement of all the pawns,
but the one final strike that wins wars. Be patient while making decisions, but firm to uphold them.
Respect those who have thought of everything, and is unshakable from their choice. Rest whenever
possible, for a tired body and mind are a weak body and mind. Respect the choices of others, but
do not allow them to influence yours.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Sharru's clergy pray for their spells before bed or in the morning. They consider all resting creatures
sacred and will only attack a sleeping foe if waking them would be dangerous to themselves or allies.
Her clergy are expected to wear greens, and metals are encouraged but not enforced. Sharru's temples
are often found in places with abundant nature, and it is not uncommon for her to have ranger or
druid worshipers. Druidic worshipers of Sharru do not wear metal, but often have ironbark weapons
or armor. Sharru has three holy days: On the first day of spring, the summer solstice, and during
the autumn harvest. During these holy days, her worshipers are prohibited from working and are encouraged
to rest and relax.

History:

Sharru is the Eldest Daughter of Loyinar and Marana, and sister to Janni, Vyl and Kythri. She took
little part in the Godswar, joining the side of the Betrayers only because her sisters did. Her domain
was briefly attacked by Soal after he returned to the Host, but Sharru proved to be unexpectedly
powerful, routing his forces rapidly. Apart from her fight with Soal, she did not participate
in the Godswar, and still communes with the Host as much as the Betrayers.


Relations:

Sharru is the eldest daughter of Loyinar and Marana, and sister to Kythri, Vyl and Jarri. She
abandoned her parents in the Celestial Host with the rest of her sisters, though she took no part
in the Godswar apart from defending herself. Among the Celestial Host, Sharru is seen as the most
acceptable of the Betrayers to worship.

Jarri

Titles: Sky-Queen, Storm's Want, The Wind-Walker
Symbol: A cloud crackling with lightning
Manifest Zone: Larash, the Floating City
Alignment: CN
Clergy Alignments: CN, CE, CG, TN
Domains: Air, Madness, Travel
Favored Style: Single-handed, slashing (Scimitar)


Dogma:

Be free, do not allow yourself to be swayed by others. All things belong to the church of Jarri, and
then to you. Take from those that keep from you, for all things belong to Jarri. Empower yourself
to empower Jarri. Avoid murder for personal gain if possible, instead, steal and plunder. Allow your
foes to rebuild their wealth so that you may take it again. Respect life, and only take it when you
must. Do not take from those less fortunate than yourself, but guard against them instead. Assist those
who's freedom has been taken from them, and in return take the freedom of their captors. Do not allow
yourself to be tied to one place, roam free and stop only when necessary.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Jarri's Clergy are encouraged to travel as much as they can. They are oft seen passing through towns,
and have no temples (though small carry-able shrines are common). Jarri's worshippers tend to be thieves
of some type, and her clergy often multiclass as rogues. Jarri's clergy wear light blues and whites
and typically wear robes instead of armor.


History:

Jarri is the youngest daughter of Loyinar and Marana, and sister to Sharru, Vyl and Kythri. She was
very active in the Godswar, and is the one that suggested Kythri kidnap Syra. During the Godswar she
attempted to steal the power of Shyiknarak, Loyinar and Sharru each. She failed on each attempt,
though she did manage to accidentally weaken Soal's forces by convincing him to attack Sharru.
After the Godswar she has been attempting to find a way to harness the power of the forgotten deity
that she and the other Betrayers slew at the beginning of the Godswar.


Relations:

Jarri is the youngest daughter of Loyinar and Marana, and sister to Kythri, Vyl and Jarri. She abandoned
her parents in the Celestial Host with the rest of her sisters, and took a very active role in the
Godswar in an attempt to prove herself. She and Soal are lovers, but the rest of the Celestial Host
disdains her.

Zych

Titles: The All-Knowing, The Eternal Searcher, Lord of Knowledge
Symbol: A pair of ethereal glowing eyes
Manifest Zone: The Iron Library
Alignment: NE
Clergy Alignments: NE, TN, LE, LN
Domains: Knowledge, Magic, Mind
Favored Style: Single-handed, bludgeoning (Club)

Dogma:

Seek knowledge above all else, for knowledge is the most valuable commodity. Material wealth fades,
but knowledge lasts forever. Protect places of learning and destroy those who would harm them.
Take from those who hoard knowledge, for it is meant to be shared and known. Knowledge is not
good and is not evil, knowledge simply is. All forms of knowledge are meant to by known, do not
try to hide them away. Maintain centers of learning, and teach all who ask.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Zych's clergy are encouraged to seek out all forms of knowledge, wherever it can be found. They
pray for their spells before bed and are required to keep a journal of things they've learned, adding
one each time they pray. Clergy who have nothing new to add to their journal do not receive spells.
Zych's clergy typically wear shades of green or white, but have no official garb. Most Temples to
Zych double as libraries or schools, and are relatively common even outside of learning centers. Most
of Zych's worshipers are wizards, though he has a few sorcerer and bard worshipers as well. Many of
Zych's clergy multiclass as wizards. Zych has one holy day in the middle of spring, where his
worshipers are expected to go out and teach or learn from those outside of the church.


History:

Zych was born of both Raashi and Ur'ran, and has always had insatiable desire for knowledge.
However, while he was young he kept his desire in check, and was a relatively well-mannered and behaved
child. He was the first of the children that the Host considered releasing the restraints on his power
for--though they never did. However, he managed to acquire a tome of forbidden secrets, stolen by Jarri
and given to him by Vyl. The tome twisted his mind and his thoughts, and fueled his desire to acquire
more knowledge, despite how sinister the means to aquire it may be.
The Ice-Queen promised him similar secrets if he joined with her when the Betrayal began.
He agreed, and fought in the Godswar on the side of the Betrayers. Before his return to the
host, he was praised by Soal for his tactics. Zych did not create magic, but he is credited with
standardizing and categorizing spells into different levels of complexity and power, as well as different
schools of magic. After the Godswar, he has spent most of his time locked away in his Iron Library,
presumably studying the tomes that he acquired from the Host in the Godswar.

Relations:

Zych is the son of Raashi and Ur'ran, and brother of Gravoe. His desire for knowledge of all kinds
drove him to abandon the Celestial Host, tempted by the promises of forbidden knowledge from the
goddess Vyl. Among the Betrayers and Celestial Host he is an outcast, and his eternal search has
ruined many of his alliances. Apart from support from his brother, he is an outcast among the deities,
but is widely revered by wizards and others who search for knowledge.

Gravoe

Titles: The Merchant-Lord, King of Coin, Wealthbringer
Symbol: A pile of gold coins
Manifest Zone: Glittering Caves
Alignment: NE
Clergy Alignments: NE, CE, LE, LN, TN, CN
Domains: Artifice, Luck, Rune
Favored Style: Multi-weapon, Piercing (Daggers)

Dogma:

Wealth grants power, and with power comes wealth. Work to obtain more wealth, and seize it whenever
possible. Show your wealth and inspire others to work for their own. Pursue your own wealth above
all else, and only spend it when it benefits you. Seize power if you are able, take the lead in
all matters, for it is leaders who earn the most. Create what you do not have, and do not rely on
the efforts of others. Give thanks to Gravoe when you benefit from luck, and strive to build a
fortune for both yourself and the glory of Gravoe.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Clergy of Gravoe are limited, but he has many worshipers among merchants and peddlers. The clergy
that he does possess are often garbed elaborately in silvers and golds. They pray for their spells
at the beginning of the day, typically when the first sales are beginning. Gravoe's temples are few,
but elaborately designed and decorated. He possesses many shrines which double as places of commerce.
Gravoe has one holy day, on the first day of the new year. During this day, grand exhibits of
accumulated wealth are paraded around and different wealthy patrons compete to show that they are
the most worthy of Gravoe's attention.


History:

Gravoe is the son of the goddess Raashi and god Ur'ran. He is the older brother of Zych, and
occasional lover of Vyl. Before the Godswar, Gravoe was consumed by his love for material wealth.
He enjoyed his servants who succeeded in matters of money, rewarding them for their success. He
joined the Godswar on the side of the Betrayers on promises of even greater wealth, whispered to him
by Vyl. During the Godswar he chose his battles carefully, only joining in ones that he would win,
and therefore gain a share of the plunder. He lacked the tactical mind for battle that his brother
possessed, but his wealth bought him the allegiance of many mortal mercenaries who bolstered his
ranks. After the Godswar, he has taken to decorating his domain with gold and gems, and spends most
of his time finding places for new treasures.


Relations:

Gravoe is the son of Raashi and Ur'ran, and brother of Zych. He joined the Betrayers in the Godswar,
tempted by Vyl's promises of wealth and power. As the god of Trade, he is widely worshiped among mortals.
Gravoe took limited part in the Godswar, only participating in winning battles, and is considered
a coward by Soal and Kythri. Among the Celestial Host, he is viewed as a neutral party. He is in a
relationship with Vyl that often is broken up, and then started anew as their interests conflict.

Minions:
-All 'dragon' type creatures.

Syra

Titles: The Everchanging, The Cycle, The Lost Soul
Symbol: A diamond separated in four sections: One green, one red, one white and one blue
Manifest Zone: Everchange Pits
Alignment: TN
Clergy Alignments: All
Domains: Good, Evil, Law, Chaos
Favored Style: All

Dogma:

Life is part of a cycle, a cycle of eternal return. Things that have happened will happen again,
seasons will come and go. Friends will become enemies and friends once more. Do your best not
to harm others, for in time, that harm will return to you. Life is not a balance, but more a wheel.
Those who hurt and destroy will one day be those who heal and protect. Embrace change, for change
will occur even if you fight it. The bear sleeps in winter knowing that winter will change and it
will awaken again. You, too, like the bear, should be accepting of change. Allow the cycle to
continue, lest you waste your life fighting it.


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

Syra has virtually no Clergy due to her relatively new deity status. Those Clergy who do serve Syra
tend to serve one aspect of her--either Summer, Winter, Autumn or Spring. Clergy tend to wear
garments of a color representing the aspect they serve, whites for winter, blues for summer,
reds for autumn or greens for spring. She has no temples yet, though there are a few shrines to
Syra scattered about by lone worshipers. Her worshipers tend to be among though who have recently
gone through a lot of change, either willingly or not. Widows, wanderers and adventurers often
worship Syra, though typically as a secondary goddess with most of their praise going to another.
Clergy dedicated to Syra pray for their spells at noon or midnight. Syra has no holy days.


History:

Syra is the daughter of Ashuni and Cyren, but she was raised by Soal and Jarri. As a baby, she was
stolen away from the Host by the goddess Vyl, and hidden away among mortal worshipers of the
Ice-Queen during the Godswar. After the Godswar, the young Syra was adopted by Jarri and Soal.
Being raised between the two was a compromise--The Betrayers did not want Syra to return to the Host,
but the Host would not allow her to be raised among the Betrayers. To avoid a second Godswar, she
was raised by both. Raised first by mortals, Syra feels a strong compassion toward them, but she
is constantly pulled by both the Host and the Betrayers as they both try to mold her into their
image. By those dedicated to the Host she is considered a Betrayer, but is considered a member of
the Host by those dedicated to the Betrayers. Recently she's moved out from the care of her adopted
parents and has taken up her own domain, but her opinion in deific matters has yet to be revealed.


Relations:

Daughter of Ashuni and Cyren, Syra is the only Betrayer that did not choose to rebel against the
Celestial Host. Rather, when the Godswar began she was stolen away as a baby, and raised to be part
of the Betrayers. She was raised by Jarri and Soal, and continues to be so despite Soal's return to
the Host. She is on neutral terms with every other deity as she struggles to find her place in the
world. Being both the youngest deity and being raised by both Betrayer and Host has left Syra in
a state of flux, unsure which side she belongs in.

The Forgotten

Titles: The Forgotten, He Who Was, The Grand Creator
Symbol: None
Manifest Zone: None
Alignment: Unknown
Clergy Alignments: None
Domains: None
Favored Style: None

Dogma: Unknown


Clergy, Temples and Worshippers:

The Forgotten has no clergy, as he does not grant spells. He has no known temples, but is worshiped
by small cults who believe that he created the world itself. The lack of knowledge on The Forgotten
often baffles scholars, who are aware that he lived up until the godswar, and times before the Godswar
are well documented, but have no mention of The Forgotten. Others claim that The Forgotten never existed,
and claim his death is Betrayer propaganda.


History:

The Forgotten is the first deity to die. Before that, he was the second sphere to crash into the heavens.
He arrived shortly after Shyiknarak, but the effects of his crash are unknown. It is speculated that
he created the world itself, by those unwilling to believe that the world has existed since before the gods.
He was slain at the beginning of the Godswar by the Betrayers, and his death revealed what occurs when a god dies.
When a god dies, all memory related to him is erased, with only the strongest minds remembering fragments.
Events that he set in place, and the deity's policies do not disappear, but instead seem to have simply
been the way all has been for all time. Additionally, dead deities do not travel to the Hereafter.
They simply cease to be, and what happens to their bodies or spirits is unknown as well.


Relations:

The Forgotten was slain by the Betrayers, meaning that he was likely aligned with the Host, but not
even the divines remember who he was or why he was killed, as nearly all memory related to him was lost
with his death.
