The Four

**The Pantheon of the Four**, also known as The Four or The Moons, are the four lunar bodies that orbit Cato Vilo. They are worshipped globally as major deities, holding the power to directly influence the world. The Four are interpreted as the children of Se, and are thought to have built the world of Cato Vilo using their World Bones.

## History

The birth of The Four is depicted in The Monomyth as an event known as the Sundering of Se. During this event, Se tore himself apart to end the battle that raged between his creators The Everything and The Nothing. His body was sundered into three fragments, one of which split in two, creating four fragments in total. From these fragments formed the moons: Capron, Tanneth and Avo. Tilo was created from the fragment that broke off of Avo. Se was restored by his creators after this event, and he was used as a force of balance, guiding the moons and stars that his body and essence created.

## The Pantheon

### Capron

*'Main article: Capron'*
**Capron** *(/'kæp-rɒn/*) is the god of protection, battle, labour and craft, and embodies the element of Fire. He teaches his followers to work hard and reap the rewards of their labour; to protect the weak and fight with honour and courage; to spend wisely, and appreciate the beauty of craft. In the physical sky, he is the largest lunar body, shining with a bright golden light. In his various depictions, he is exclusively portrayed as male, and his associated colours include gold, red, orange and bronze.

### Tanneth

*'Main article: Tanneth'*
**Tanneth** *(/'tænɛθ/*) is the formless god of nature, knowledge, diplomacy, community and arcana, and embodies the element of Earth. They teach their followers to be good to one another, the world, and everything in it, and to ask and understand. They favour the curious, and scorn the ignorant. In the physical sky, Tanneth is the second largest lunar body, with a scintillating glow that shifts in colour like an opal. The lunar body cycles through phases faster than the other moons. Tanneth has the most diverse cultural depictions, considered to be formless and genderless, but their associated colours include green, brown and purple.

### Tilo

*'Main article: Tilo'*
**Tilo** *(/ˈtiːləʊ/*) is the goddess of love, fertility, joy, mercy, the sea and the sky, and embodies the element of Water. She is Avo's younger twin. She teaches her followers to love one another, love themselves, be kind and generous, show mercy, and treasure the gifts of love, family and friendship. She loves all, cherishing those with an open heart and despairing for the selfish and cruel. In the physical sky, Tilo is the second smallest of the lunar bodies, shimmering with a beautiful pale blue colour, and is always visible in the night sky, notably never entering a 'new moon' phase. She is exclusively portrayed as female, and her associated colours include blue, white and silver.

### Avo

*'Main article: Avo'*
**Avo** *(/ˌævəʊˈ/*) is the goddess of life, death, time, fate and secrets, and embodies the element of Air. She is Tilo's older twin. She teaches her followers to respect and preserve all spirits, both living and dead, and to seek the truth and remain vigilant whilst honouring the anonymity of secret and hidden things. In the physical sky, Avo is the smallest of the lunar bodies, difficult to see due to the very pale silver light she casts. During the summer months in particular, she is markedly difficult to spot, and her lunar body is unique in that she enters 'new moon' phases far more often than 'full moon' phases, the direct opposite of Tilo's lunar cycle. In her depictions, Avo is usually depicted as female, though some favour a more masculine interpretation to further the dichotomy between Avo and Tilo. Avo's associated colours remain largely the same regardless of interpretation, however, being a monochromatic palette of black, white and silver.
