Vordea – Goddess of Change

One of the two primordial Gods, Vordea’s purview is “change”, and all that it encompasses, both good and bad. Any change that does not fall under the domains of one of the lesser Gods is the charge of Vordea. War, revolution, seasons, trade, these are some of her responsibilities. Many farmers, merchants, and soldiers pray to Vordea for success in their endeavours, but she is by far the most silent of the Gods. Her High Priestess, Neptis, is a blessed Avatar of Vordea, and can call upon her taciturn Goddess’s powers in times of great need, but rumour has it Neptis has fallen into disfavour with her Lady for reasons so far unknown.

Agbus – The Dead God, God of Stability

The other primordial God, Agbus, also known as “Dead God Agbus”, is said to have died in a duel with Vordea during the creation of the world, and may be the reason for Vordea’s taciturn personality. According to one creation myth, told by the Dragons, is that all the mortal races of the world, including the dragons, were born from the spilled blood of Agbus, when it mixed with the blood of the grief stricken Goddess, Vordea. Adherents of the Dead God, from the Church of the Dead God, are able to draw upon great powers to uphold order and the rule of law, suggesting that this so-called Dead God may not be as dead as we assume him to be. It is unknown who the High Priest of Agbus is, as the Church of the Dead God does not appoint one, saying that there is already one living out in the world.

Sargon – God of Justice, The Judge

Sargon is the God of Justice, which is much more specific than the Dead God’s order and rule of law. The persecution of theft, murder, unjust acts, crimes against peace, and other crimes against a person are just some of the things Sargon has domain over. Also known as The Judge, Sargon will grant his power to those seeking to address wrongs, even if said wrongs are legal where they are committed. Even the rich and powerful fear Sargon’s wrath, as even if you evade mortal punishment, in the end, all answer to Judge Sargon’s hammer.

Vaust – God of Luck, God of Thieves

Vaust is the God of Luck (or lack thereof), and as such can sometimes be known as the “God of Thieves”. An arrow finds its mark from hundreds of metres away? The man you’re chasing stumbles for half a second? Your toast lands butter side down? That’s Vaust, subtly influencing the actions of the world. Many praise or curse Vaust for their perceived luckiness or unluckiness, but it’s of course unknown how much of it is Vaust and how much is mere random chance.

Zalas – God of Love

The Raven King, The Missing God, God of Creation

The so-called missing God, the Raven King has not answered the prayers of his dwindling adherents in many centuries, leading some to assume he has somehow perished. His purview is the act of creation, be it life, art, literature, or merely cooking food. It’s said he last appeared at the end of the unification wars in Northern Karand that formed the Kingdom of Gilnas, and warned of a coming ice age. Whether that has anything to do with his long absence is of course unknown, but theorized about.

Eigengrau – Goddess of Death and Time

The Goddess of Death and Time is fraught with mystery, as her school of magic is nearly universally lethal to all sentient species, even Dragons, with only two known exceptions in all of recorded history: The Reaper Mage Sirene Ignitis, and the Clockwork Dragon, Narin. The methods by which they’re able to freely use the forbidden school is unknown, and it is thought they were personally chosen by Eigengrau to be its sole practitioners. Whatever the reason for their power, Eigengrau is one of the more visible Gods, and can frequently be found silently observing cemeteries, mausoleums, crypts, and other places of internment of the dead. While she rarely speaks, she is known to acknowledge the presence of those who approach her with a smile. Many have found comfort in speaking to Eigengrau about the recently deceased, and it may be the reason why she continues to visit the places most associated with her.
