[Delete] | REALMS OF ARCHADES:
=Divine Realms: home of the gods, immortals, Dragonlands
=Living Realms: mortal earth
=Peaceful Realms: kingdom of the dead
=Chaos: …A realm that has been locked away by the gods, otherwise all would be destroyed.
First Powers: (both are parents to the Great Gods)
=Father Universe - created the realms
=Mother Flame - created light, stars, death
THE GREAT GODS:
=The Great Mother Goddess, commonly referred to simply as the Goddess, is the female ruler of the gods. She is the sister of Mithros and the patron deity of women. She is also associated with crops, weaving, spinning, and the moon. She has three aspects: maiden, mother, and crone. These three aspects correspond to women's stages of life. Other titles include Mother of Mountains, Mother of Mares, and Mother of Waters. A symbol used to represent the Goddess is the Ladymoon. In her "mother" aspect, the form she most often takes, the Goddess appears as a stunningly beautiful woman, with emerald eyes, dazzlingly white skin, black hair, and full red lips. Her voice sounds like the baying of hounds and the call of the huntress urging them on. It can be painful for mortals to hear.
=Mithros is the male ruler of the gods. The Great Mother Goddess is his sister and co-ruler. Mithros is a god of sun, light, and fire, but law, war, and magic are also areas under his influence. Mithros takes the appearance of a black man in gold armor, holding a spear with a white-hot tip.
=The Black God is the God of Death, normally depicted as hooded and robed in black, and ruler of the Peaceful Realms. Pigeons are his servants, transporting the ghosts of the dead to the Peaceful Realms. Commiting suicide was also called the Black God's Option.
=Kyprioth is the main Trickster God, also commonly called The Crooked God. He was once kicked out and sent to rule the waters around the Copper Isles by the Great Mother Goddess and Mithros, but being the trickster that he is, weaseled his way back into the Divine Realms. Crows are sacred to Kyprioth because they are trickster's as is he. Kyprioth is also frequently acquainted with The Rogue, but not always. As a god Kyprioth can adopt different appearances. His preferred form seems to be that of a lean and wiry man with a beard. He wears he shoulders erect and has large brown eyes. His salt-and-pepper hair—with more salt than pepper—is short and his nose is short and broad. He has eyebrows shaped in pointed arches. His clothes resemble those worn by gypsies. In addition to this he wears jewelry, chains and rings made of different metals. These he even wears in other guises, like when he chooses the form of a crow.
=Gainel, also called the Master of Dream, the Dream King, Dreamer. He has one foot in Chaos, one foot in Divine Realms, he is the only Great God who cannot leave divine realms or chaos, can only send messages in the form of dreams. His appearance is thus, unknown, since no mortal has ever seen him.
LESSER GODS:
=Shakith is the blind goddess of seers of the Carthaki underworld. She is blonde and her eyes are blank, legend says she gave up her sight to let other people see. Shakith weighs things for their true value and she is the goddess of justice, bankers, jewelers and traders in gemstones.
=The Graveyard Hag is the goddess of Carthak but she is worshipped elsewhere as well. She is the daughter of the Black God. She has a special interest in games of chance, and is known to cheat frequently. She also has the ability to restore dead things to life. Rats, dice, and hyenas are sacred to her. The Graveyard Hag commonly takes the appearance of an old woman with a eye-patch, leaning on a walking stick. In the Immortal Series she changes her shape from an old slave woman with both eyes and a shaved head, to an old woman with a fuzzy yet still shorn head of hair with a eye patch. She usually has a rat around her feet or perched upon her shoulder.
=Weiryn is the northern god of the Hunt in the Eastern Lands. Woodsmen and huntsmen in the forests of Galla, Tusaine and Scanra are said to swear by him. Weiryn was a god rumored frequently to meet and bed women when crossing into the mortal realms. Which was rare… but when he did cross, beddings were common. He is a master of hunting. Weiryn sports a pair of stag-like antlers. His skin is olive colored with traces and streaks of green in it. He wears only a loincloth and carries a longbow and quiver of arrows.
CHAOS:
=Uusoae is Queen of Chaos, disrule, uncertainty, and imagination; destruction that leads to change and new growth, and new opportunities. She is a sibling of The Great Gods and is a child of Father Universe and Mother Flame. She is the embodiment of chaos itself and must, by her nature, make constant war on the Great Gods.
