These Are Our Gods

Wu-Di: God of Drink

Chelle: Goddess of Beauty

Goran: God of Tyranny

Eriol: The Shining Lord of Steel, the 'good' god of battle and war, noble to a fault.

Tyrin: The Bloody Lord of Iron, the 'evil' god of battle and war. He and Eriol are eternal foes.

Sunder: The god of volcanoes, responsible for splitting the land long ago in a fit of rage. (A god handy for Cataclysm-stories.)

Deities in the Abrahamic religions

Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe in the same God, but Muslims, and to some degree Jews (see below), visualize God in strictly monotheistic terms, whereas most Christians believe that God exists as a Trinity. It is a nice example of one basic diety/ religion set manifested in three different ways. Remember that any one god might have several religions based upon it.

Judaism

Yahweh is the Biblical name for God used by ancient Jews. Adonai, Eloheynu and Hashem are some of the names of God used in modern day Judaism. The Hebrew word 'elohim' is also used to refer to God in the Torah and the Christian Old Testament (though it expresses the concept of holy spirit as manifested as Angels) , and this refers to a multiple nature of God. However, Jews hold to a slightly more monotheistic view of God than Christians. They reject Jesus Christ as a false messiah, and do not assign any deity to him. However, the English word 'God' (spelled 'G-d' in deference to the taboo against pronouncing the Tetragrammaton) is commonly accepted among Jews to denote God (or G-d), as well.

Christianity

Historically, Christianity has professed belief in one deity, three divine persons (the Trinity), that make up one deity or Godhead, known as 'God'. (See Athanasian Creed.) Thus, most Christians are trinitarian monotheists, although there have been dissenters; see the articles Arianism, Unitarianism (History), Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Jehovah's Witnesses for examples. Most of these unitarian groups believe or believed that only God the Father is a deity; Latter-day Saints believe that the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit are three distinct deities.

Islam

Allah is the most traditional Muslim name for God. Islamic tradition also speaks of 99 Names of God. The mystic Hebrew Traditions also reference them.

Other

Two smaller faiths that don't neatly fit into any of the categories of Abrahamic religions. Rastafarianism worships Jah and the Baha'i Faith also worships the same God as Jews, Christians and Muslims.

Hinduism

People tend to forget that a good portion of the world is currently polytheistic. They don't worship a single diety in a pantheon, they worship all the dieties in the entire pantheon and pray to the appropriate ones. Remember that the next time you are playing in a polytheistic background.

NOTE: Egyptian deities are often portrayed as having animal heads in art; as an example, Anubis is often portrayed in statuary as having the body of a human, but the head of a canine. Many gods were portrayed with different animal heads, depending upon the situation. The Egyptians did NOT actually believe that their gods had animal heads; rather, they portrayed them that way as artistic symbolism. This may have been for the benefit of the illiterate.

Like all things in Arth, there are sixes everywhere. Thus all spirits are categorized in the six tiers, dieties being the most powerful spirits and plants/ animals being the least.

Ge-Em moved from a transental entity to one of the first tier when it created all the other dieties.

First Tier

Spirits of the first tier are more transadental than other things. They do not have primary and sece' forms. They just are, and we beings of a lower level are lucky to be able to know they exist.

These dieties have associated sub-dieties. They are the third Tier. Since Ge-Em started as a superior diety, his subdiety (Luminance/ Spirit) manifests itself as the two elemental subforms of Luminance/ Spirit- Light and Darkness.

Ge-Em (primarily male)

* Omin form: Anything required. Assumed male, but could be female.

* Associations: None and All.

* Element: Space

Mother Arth aka Arth-A aka Mother Nature (primarily female)

* Associations: Passive, but creatively active

* Element: Flora and Fauna

Yi-Ang (Neuter)

* Associations: Chance and Balance.

* Element: The Dance: The way things interact.

Tier 2

Light (Diety of Order) Primary Female

* Associations: Passive, Positive, Submissive, LAW

* Element: Luminance/ Spirit- Light, links between things.

Darkness (Diety of Change and Advancement) Primary Male

* Associations: Active, Negative, Dominant, CHAOS

* Element: Luminance- Darkness, magic and deception/illusion

Earth (Doer/Protector) Primary Male

* Associations: Passive, Negative, Dominant, LAW

* Element: Metal and Rock, Craft shops

Air (Thinker/Inventor) Primary Female

* Associations: Active, Negative, Submissive, CHAOS

* Element: Wind/ Cloud/ Weather Libraries/ Schools

Fire (Leader/ Destroyer) Primary Male

* Associations: Active, Positive, Dominant, CHAOS

* Element: Fire/ Lightning/ Smoke The Wilds

Water (Emotion) Primary Female

* Associations: Passive, Positive, Submissive, LAW

* Element: Water, Oceans, Sailing, Healing

Tier 3

Chro-No

* Associations: Yi-Ang, Balance

* Element: Time

He is the keeper of time. The maker of destiny. One of the weavers of Ge-Em's master pattern.

Deth as to keep it seperate from Death

* Associations: Life, Balance, Lady Arth

* Element: Spirit

The collector of used/ lost/ disembodied spirits for his mother to use. He is the collector/ recycler of destroyed and used things. He holds on to them while Ge-Em gets ready to use them.

Luminance aka Balance of Spirit

* Associated Ge-Em

* Element: Spirit

This Diety is actually two dieties at once. The cosmology gets fuzzy at this point, so most people just accept Luminance, balance of Spirit as a theoretical construct, rather than an actual diety.

Tier 4

The Master

These are spirits charged with 'administrating' a specific archetype. They are spirits of each primary things. They are sort of the patron saints of given places or things. Of these spirits their is a heirarchy of sorts, as masters of well defined archetypes report to masters of broader archetypes. So the master of Wolves and the master of Dogs report to the masters of Canines, who reports to the master of animals. Sometimes they will report to the master of the biome they are in.

Masters are of races, object classes, places, events, customs (manners, traditions, holidays), and times.

Masters control the flow of power to something they administer. So if you want knowledge about something, the master can flow it into you. If you want your swords to strike home, the master will flow it power to make it so. And so on.

In short, Gods get all the glory, Masters do all the work (at the directions of the higher entities).

How they are used is that you pray to the appropriate first to third tier diety, and include the master. Oh God of Chance, and master of horses and master of races, help my horse with this race.

Some important masters

These are sort of worshiped on their own.

Danu Master of Masques: There is a whole dominant religion based around this master in Maskland. Masques, is the controlling abstract for the physical noun masks. In the MaskLander's home tongue, mask/ masque has many additional meanings... the most important of which is the appearance of all things which is different than their core. Danu is a deceiver (hiding truths), a revealer (exposing truths), teacher (leading those to truth), and the core of which the natural universe is merely a mask. In short Danu, is associated with GM. Most people in the known world do not understand how these crazy people can ignore 'The Gods' and just deal with a simple master of masks.

Master of Magik: This is the right hand being of The God of Darkness. This is the master of magik spells and the magik of life. Power use in all its forms are his providence. Those that practice power use (magic users, priests) all have a special place in their hearts and spells for this master.

Master of Sailors and Mistress of Sea: Folklore has them married. She is fickle, honest, fair, but when angered beware. He is strong, steady, handsome, but prone to party a bit too hard. The interplay of sea and sailor is played out in a variety of folk tales surrounding these dieties.

Mistress of Cold: Cold is the called by some the seventh element. This master is quite a powerful one. This master actually has a prime (Frost/ Ice - cold and beautiful Goddess) and sece' (Snow- happy and fat god). There are a variety of folk stories about her, fire, and water. Some have her as his mistress. Some have her as their daughter. Some have her as the actual tier two diety, with fire being her sece' form.

Master of weather: One of the most commonly called upon masters. This master is in charge of all the others (wind, rain, snow, lightning, sun, heat, humidity, etc). He is the one who coordinates the weather between Air and Water.

Masters of Years, Months, Days, Hours:

There is a series of thrones overseeing a party of many masters. Each Master of a year, sits for their year overseeing the party. Each master of Months, likewise. The six masters of days, trade between themselves, a throne. The masters of hours likewise. The masters of specific months, days, hours, act as servants at the party for their time.

There are many folk tales and parables built around these dieties, from tier 1 on down. Most did not actually happen, but they are alegorical.

Tier 5

These are the spirits of sentient things. That is all peoples, deamons, and elder races.

Tier 6

These are the spirits of all subsentient things, animals and plants. Strangely enough, these spirits are more powerful than one would expect because they are not burdened with thought. They are part of the Way.

Bul'mentha, God of despair - Torn between destiny and Destruction - bieng the offpring of Kasana the oracle and Ganasil, breaker of worlds - Bul'mentha is nothing but outcast in the eyes of all gods, even his own parents. As a result, this minor god withdrew into depression, seeking refuge in himself and shutting himself away. Few, if any, worship him, but most feel the effects that this god brings upon the mortal world, at some point of time. The only solace Bul'mentha has, is him making mortals feel - to a lesser extent - what he has felt ever since his birth. Some call him harmless, but the wise know that despair and sorrow can kill a man.

O'lor, acolyte of fear - The Acolyte of fear, birthed of the Oracle and the Breaker of worlds, Was outcast, just like his brother, but instead of disliking his outcast, he revelled in it - after all, was not he the spawn of time and evil? He was far superior to all the other immortals, to his eyes, and as a result, he left the stronghold of the gods and entered the mortal realm. For hundreds of mortal years after his birth, he was not heard of again. All gods, barring Kasana herself, thought him gone for good, perhaps torn apart during his transferral to mortal lands. Kasana, though, foresaw the trouble her bastard son would make, and tried in vain to talk to the other gods to stop him. Since Kasana was regarded as a minor goddess, however, her warnings came unanswered. Several centuries after O'lor left, the gods noticed that something was amiss in the mortal realm - It seemed there was more war and violence than usual. Races were becoming afraid and mistrustful of each other, and people seemed more reluctant to step out at night. The history of mortals was bieng rewritten in blood. The gods realised now, their mistake. They had unleashed fear into the world, and that fear was the basis of all death and destruction Since O'lor was now in mortal guise, he was undetectable to the gods, and ever since, there has always been some form of conflict in the world at one time. The gods choice was to either allow fear to plague the mortal realm, or to destroy all mortals. They decided to allow the fear. O'lor is unknown by all mortals, and none worship him directly.
