Deities

Aethria's deities each make up a part of the pantheon with their own powers and goals. This is a general overview of their appearances and powers. The masterlist will include the individual deity.

## Appearance

Deities are titanic beings that are often depicted in a humanoid form. This from usually consists of brightly colored skin, multiple arms and legs, horns, and at least four eyes. There are often times changes to this formula depending on the deity, examples being Maria with five tails rather than legs and Kasol being an anamorphic fox. Nur Mal also alluded to the possibility of another form that mortals could not comprehend.

## Deity Types

There are two main types of deities, primordial and prime deities, along with a few other types. They are very similar apart from a few key differences.

### Primordial Deities

Primordial deities are the older and generally more connected to the world. They existed on Aethria for eons and their forms tend to represent what they are the deity of. Examples include Maria, goddess of the sea and her five tails, Teran, god of the earth, and his earth like horns, Whispa, goddess of wind, with no form, and Kasol appearing like his creations in a fox form. These deities are anchored to their domains and cannot leave, but all who enter it they have almost absolute power over. These deities were forced into a deep slumber after the split.

### Prime Deities

Prime deities are newer and share less of a connection to the world. These deities usually came into existence of their own force of will or are the children of Primordial Deities. They share less of a connection with Aethria and generally tend to look more similar to the formula stated above. They tend to keep domain over a certain aspect of the world. Examples include Armen Mor, goddess of gold magic and creation, Ora Oma, goddess of relevations, Mal Fey, god of black magic. After the split, they were forced into the Aetherveil and could no longer hold domain on Aetheria, rather acting through the veil and small miracles and visions.

### Anterior Deities

Anterior deities is the class that is made up by the Empty Throne, Sun Dog, and Moon Cat; the later two being ancient creatures looked in an eternal fight that cycles the sun and twin moons. The Empty Throne is a throne in the Shattered Isles of the Delosian Sea believed to give those who sit in it complete and utter control and understanding of Aethria and beyond. However, it must reunited with it's Crown if Bones in order to properly work. It is believed that the throne is in Aethria and the crown is in Aetherveil. The Sun Dog and Moon Cat are believed to chase each other in the Aetherveil, but their eyes still remain in Aethria as the sun and moons.

### Creational Deities

Creational deities are deities that were born mortal and became deities by proving themselves worthy or forcing fate to show it's hand. Only one known Creational Deity exists, that being Nur Mal, the goddess of fate and tricksters. Nur Mal was chained to the veil during the split and is unable to escape, but holds more sway over the world than others. However, their is some debate among Sholars about if Lesh La is Prime or Primordial, due to ancient documents spelling her name as Leshla.
