The Divine Five

The Divine Five is a name for the five gods of the Divine Church: Adona, Velin, Thiasis, Gyasis, and Undite. Supposedly, the five were once humans that walked the mortal realm, but after acts of great heroism and self-sacrifice were deemed worthy to ascend to the Divine Plane with the Angels. Others claim that the five were already gods and simply decided to walk amongst mortals for a short time. Either way, there are relics left over from their travels through the mortal world, proving that they once did exist.
Since the birth of the Church near the end of the Age of Darkness, the Church has worshiped the five and spread their teachings to the rest of the world. Each of the five represents and resides over different things, though some of the gods share some topics.
Adona is considered by most to be the leader of the five, and he is whom the continent of Adonia is named after. He is the god of Life, Death, Time, and Creation chiefly. Velin is the goddess of law, order, judgement, and punishments. Thiasis (nicknamed the Farm God) is over crops, domestication of animals, and things affecting nature in general. Gyasis is the god of love, marriage, child rearing, the interpersonal relationships between people and creation. And finally, Undite is the medical and spiritual goddess. Sound mind, body, soul, things of that nature.
The Vigilant Order worships Velin chiefly as their patron god, while priests of the Church are able to conduct worship and services for all the five. Most often they tend to bind themselves to the teachings of one or two in particular.
