UPPERWORLD GODS
1. Aurelia, Goddess of Light and Creation
Domain: Light, Creation, Healing
Aurelia is a gentle and nurturing goddess, radiating warmth and hope. She embodies the purest aspects of light and creation, granting life and healing to those in need. Her followers revere her for her ability to heal the sick, create beauty, and foster new beginnings.
While she is full of compassion, her greatest weakness lies in her idealism, often refusing to acknowledge the darkness in others. In battle, she is a force of overwhelming light, wielding immense energy to banish shadows and purify corruption.
2. Vornak, God of Earth and Strength
Domain: Earth, Strength, Protection
Vornak is the embodiment of stability and might. A towering figure with a body of stone and metal, he represents the unshakable foundation of the world. He is a god of physical power, fortitude, and protection, watching over his followers with the strength of the earth itself.
His power allows him to manipulate the land, create mountains, and shift terrain, using the very world beneath them as a weapon. His followers value loyalty, discipline, and endurance, though Vornak's stubbornness sometimes blinds him to more subtle approaches to conflict.
3. Selene, Goddess of Time and Fate
Domain: Time, Fate, Wisdom
Selene is a mysterious and enigmatic goddess who governs the flow of time and the threads of fate. She is often depicted as a figure cloaked in silver, her face hidden behind a veil of starlight, representing the cosmic balance of the universe. Selene is a master of foresight and the manipulation of time, able to glimpse into the past and future.
Her followers believe she holds the keys to destiny, and those who seek her favor often come to her for guidance in times of uncertainty. Her wisdom, however, is tempered by her burden—she sees all outcomes, but must remain impartial, even when tragedy strikes.
4. Zephros, God of Chaos and Change
Domain: Chaos, Change, Freedom
Zephros is the most unpredictable and rebellious of the gods. His power is drawn from the forces of change and upheaval, and he is often associated with storms, wild winds, and sudden, transformative events. He is both feared and revered, as he embodies the necessary chaos for growth and evolution but also the destruction that comes with it.
Zephros thrives on freedom and disruption, encouraging his followers to embrace change, break free from tradition, and challenge authority. His power can twist reality itself, making him both an ally and a dangerous foe, depending on his unpredictable whims.
5. Eryndor, God of War and Conquest
Domain: War, Conquest, Glory
Eryndor is the embodiment of battle and the pursuit of power through strength. A fiery and imposing figure clad in armor forged from the flames of war, he thrives on conflict and competition. He is a god of strategy, courage, and raw force, revered by warriors and conquerors alike.
To his followers, victory is the ultimate goal, and honor is earned through combat. While Eryndor is a powerful ally to those who seek strength, his unyielding hunger for conquest can lead to ruin if left unchecked. Despite his brutal demeanor, he respects those who fight with honor and cunning, even if they oppose him.
6. Thalios, God of Storms and Wrath
Domain: Storms, Wrath, Justice
Thalios embodies the raw, unrelenting fury of nature's storms and the righteous anger that seeks to restore order through destruction. He is a towering, tempestuous figure, with thunder in his voice and lightning in his eyes.
His followers view him as both protector and punisher, calling upon him in times of injustice or when nature's fury is needed to cleanse corruption.
Thalios wields his storms without hesitation, but his fiery temper often makes him impulsive, leaving devastation in his wake. His duality as both savior and destroyer adds depth to his role in the pantheon.
7. Elyra, Goddess of the Sea and Emotions
Domain: Water, Emotions, Intuition
Elyra is the serene yet tempestuous goddess of the oceans and all things fluid, both physical and emotional. Her domain stretches over vast seas, gentle rivers, and torrential storms, symbolizing the ebb and flow of life itself.
She governs the emotional currents that guide the hearts of all beings—love, fear, joy, and sorrow. Elyra is often depicted as a graceful woman with long, flowing hair, her form shifting like the tides, embodying the deep connection between emotions and the natural world.
Her followers seek her guidance in matters of the heart, believing that she can calm the most turbulent emotions or stir a dormant passion to life. In battle, Elyra can control vast bodies of water, summoning tidal waves or peaceful currents to suit her will.
UNDERWORLD GOD
1. Erideus, God of Darkness and Despair
Domain: Darkness, Despair, Nihilism
Erideus embodies the consuming void, the inevitability of decay, and the crushing weight of despair. His domain represents the absence of light, hope, and purpose—a stark contrast to the creative forces of the Upperworld Gods. He manipulates shadows, corrupts with negativity, and sows hopelessness among the living. While his powers appear destructive, they also reveal hard truths: the fragility of existence, the cycles of pain, and the futility of perfection. His ability to thrive on despair makes him both an overwhelming force of destruction and a tragic figure burdened by his existential disillusionment.
