Winter Gods

:“They’re not real” -Koibu 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
In Arcadia the stars represent Gods. Most of the gods are represented in the sky, including all the Seasonal Gods. All the Gods in the Pantheon are known to exist as their clerics gain spells/miracles from them. The legend is that there were gods that did once exist in the sky during the winter months and are now gone. The story holds that they would be part of the existing pantheon, existing alongside the Spring, Summer, Autumn Gods.

Legend has it they perished during the War of Creation. In this legend, The Winter Gods were the children of Malkis & Voraci. This legend suggests The War of Creation ended because the remaining Gods realised they could die. The end of the War of Creation also ended the Age of Mist.
The Empty Winter sky was observed during Misscliks: Demigods during the Age of Heroes, with that perhaps being the Demigod's final goal of becoming Gods and filling the void.Misscliks: Demigods: Chapter 2 Episode 9 https://youtu.be/drFiZDMFtZs?t=1552
The Winter Gods, in concept, are worshipped by the people of Winter's Reach on Gade Isle. The people of Winter's Reach take the Winter Gods on faith and not on any evidence.Dicing with Death: Episode 145
