Akashiren Kami

Akashiren Kami [Akashiren: アカシレンカミ] are deified spirits venerated throughout Akashiro and the Tenshin religion. Kami can be forces of nature and beings, often having the forms of animals, monsters or demons. Some kami are particularly worshipped and associated with specific Akashiren Clans. Kami can be found in the Shinan [シナン], meaning abyss, which is ruled by the god Dejelkhai, or the overworld, which is ruled by the god Ryula.
== List of Akashiren Kami ==
=== The Tenshin Gods ===
Despite being seen as deities of an unreachable level, for both mortals and kami, the gods of Tenshin, Ryula and Dejelkhai are still considered as kami.
* Ryula - Kami of Abeshiro (Overworld) - differing forms
* Dejelkhai - Kami of the Shinan (Abyss) - differing forms
=== Clan Related Kami ===
Throughout Akashiro, some kami in the overworld are associated with and specifically worshipped by noble clans. Each kami often has a long, intertwined history with their respective clan, being seen as a deity throughout the generations.
* Kiirumei - Kirumasa Clan - Kami of Insight - form of a white snake
* Shinzaiten - Fujishina Clan - Kami of Poetry - form of a red dragon
* Suki - Hirasaka Clan - Kami of the Moon - form of a white wolf

=== Abeshiro Kami [Overworld]===
Ruled over by Ryula, the majority of kami reside in the realm of the overworld, all of which inhabiting the Akashiro Shogunate itself. Usually having intrinsic connections to the values and powers of their overseer, overworld kami are known for representing elements of the natural world, as well as being the most commonly seen.

===Shinan Kami [Abyss]===
The Shinan consists of 8 layers, with a kami retaining each one. The further one ventures into the abyss and crosses layers, the harder it is for them to ever return to the overworld. Excluding the two Shigen-sha, those who venture into the Shinan never return with a sane mind, with the third layer being deemed as the point of no return.

# Raigoku - Layer of Jikōtan - Kami of Zeolotry - form of a black dragon
# Kirishu - Layer of Oborachi - Kami of Temperance - form of a giant grey camel

=== Dragons ===
Both the Abyss and Overworld are home to multiple dragons, each with their own purpose. Though not considered by all, dragons are widely recognised as kami themselves. Dragons differ to kami who take the form of dragons.
