### Worship

Tapio received regularly animal-sacrifices from hunters, who usually offered the god the first prey of the hunting season. First time hunters would also offer their first catch to the gods. The sacrifice was usually offered on an altar called a Tapion pöytä (Finnish for table of Tapio) or sometimes even on an anthill. The most common sacrificial animals were various birds, though the god also received material offerings, such as molten silver.

## Pop Culture

* In the universe of the SCP-Foundation, Tapio 2nd god the Foundation tried to summon via SCP-6114, the first one being the Egyptian goddess Hathor. Both of these failed, with the third deity, the Greek goddess Athena, being the only successful attempt.

Hera

**Hera** is the Greek goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family, who also serves as the Queen fo the gods as the wife of Zeus.

## Overview

Hera was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, who was born on either the island of Argos or Samos. As one of the children of Cronus, she was swallowed by her father, who feared that his children would overthrow based on a prophecy by the ancient sky god Ouranos. Zeus, one of the sons of Cronus who managed to avoid his his father's wrath, managed to free his siblings, including Hera, and eventually eventually overthrow his father.

She would become the wife of Zeus and the mother of the gods Ares, Hebe, and Eileithyia, but her husband also became infamous for having numerous affairs with other women, both mortals and deities, which resulted in countless children, some of whom became other Olympian deities while others became many of Greece's legendary heroes. Out of anger towards Zeus' infidelity, Hera would often attempt to damage or kill both his lovers and their children, with varying success. The most infamous case was that of the hero Heracles.

Hera chose to stand against the city of Troy during the events of the Iliad, as the trojan prince Paris did not choose her as the fairest goddess during the famous judgement of Paris. She also helped the argonauts in their adventures due to the favour she had given to the hero Jason, after the man had helped her while she was masquerading as a old and frail woman.

The gods told Fenrir that they would only test the binding on him, but the wolf was suspicious and asked for one of the gods to put one their hands in his mouth as collateral.

**Artemis** was the Greek virgin goddess of the hunt, the Moon, and protector of young girls.

## Overview

Artemis was usually seen as the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Leto, a Titaness, and twin-sister of Apollo, the god of the Sun and healing. As children they faced the wrath of Hera, Zeus' wife and the queen of the gods, and they (or Apollo alone) eventually slew the monstrous Python-dragon. She also choose to become virgin, unlike her brother Apollo, who had numerous affairs.

Artemis was famous for her wrath against sexual sins. She became furious that Callisto, a nymph who followed Artemis, became pregnant and gave birth after she was raped by her father Zeus. As a punishment she turned Callisto into a bear that would later be killed by the nymph's own son during a hunt. Another example was the Actaeon, a hunter from Thebes, who once saw the goddess bathing naked in a pond in the forrest. When Artemis noticed the young hunter gazing at her, she turned him into a stag, who was killed by his very own hunting dogs.

During the events of the Trojan war she sided with the city of Troy, alongside her twin-brother Apollo, Ares, the god of war and one of her half-brothers, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. She was later syncretised with the Roman goddess Diana, with whom she shared a lot.

Set

Set, by Jeff Dahl

**Set**, also known as **Seth** or **Sutekh**, was the Egyptian god of desert, storms and chaos.

## Mythology

### Family

Set was the son of Geb, the god of the earth, and Nut, the goddess of the sky, and was the brother of Isis, the great mother goddess, Nephthys, the goddess of dusk and death, and Osiris, the god kingship and fertility. He married his sister Nephthys, and is sometimes thought to be father of Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the dead, though Nephthys would eventually side be associated with Osiris and Horus.

He is also sometimes paired with the Tawaret, a goddess of childbirth and fertility, and Neith, a creator goddess. Through syncretism with the Semitic god Ba'al, he was also paired with the warriors goddess Anat and Ashtoreth.

### The Osiris-myth

Set serves as the main antagonist in the Osiris-myth as retold by the Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch.

Osiris was the king of the gods and first pharaoh of Egypt, until he was betrayed by his brother Set, who seeked to have the throne for himself. Osiris was murdered and dismembered by his brother, who scattered his body partsall over Egypt. The god would later be found, reassembled and revived by Isis and Nephthys, by being mummified, and he concieved Horus with the former. After this he decended into Duat, the underworld and became it's ruler.

Horus would go on to fight Set, and the struggle between them would last 80 years, and it is implied that Set had raped the younger god at some point in this time. During the battle Set would also tear one Hours' eyes out, while Horus in return managed to castrate him. Horus would in time avenge his father and reclaim the divine kingship, while Set is banished to the desert.

### Set as protector

During the Middle Kingdom, Set was often depicted on the solar barque of Ra, being one of the gods defending the older sun god from the chaotic god Apep.

Ninlil

Depiction of Enlil and Ninlil

**Ninlil** was the Mesopotamian goddess of the wind and the wife of Enlil.

## Overview

### The myth of Enlil and Ninlil

The young and strong god Enlil became enamoured with the young and beautiful Ninlil and slept with her, impregnating her with Nanna, the god of the Moon. The impure act angered the other gods and they condemned Enlil to Irkalla, the Mesopotamian underworld, as a punishment. Despite everything, Ninlil decided to follow Enlil to the realm of the dead.

In the underworld Enlil disguised himself as the gate keeper of the realm, and in this form slept again with Ninlil, who was unaware of that it was the god. From this new union came Nergal, a god of the underworld who is also associated with war, plague, death, disease, and the scorching sun.

Enlil disguises himself again, this time as the man of the Id-kura, the man-eating river of the underworld, and again seduces the unknowing Ninlil. This union brings forth Ninazu, a god associated with both the underworld and healing. The last form of Enlil is that of Urshanabi, the ferryman of the underworld, and he once again seduces Ninlil, resulting in the birth Enbilulu, a god associated with rivers and canals, notably the Tigris and Euphrates.

The myths ends with praising both Enlil and Ninlil as the divine parents.

## Mythology

### Baal Cycle

After the conflict Baal, the god of the weather and agriculture, defeated Yamm, the god of dead, he ascends to Mount Hazzi (renamed Mount Zaphon), where they, with the help of Anat and Kothar-wa-Khasis, built the palace for the new king of the gods. Baal becomes prideful and after having vanquished the god of the sea, thinks he can also defeat Mot, the god of death and the underworld.

Mot challenges Baal to come to the underworld, and although the storm god originally refuses, as king and champion of the gods, he must go down to face him. Baal takes the weather (rain, wind, clouds) with him and faces Mot, seemingly dying in the process. The other gods, especially El and Anat, mourn the loss, and are not able to find a proper replacement to head the pantheon.

El later has a vision, and realises that Baal is still alive, but in the clutches of Mot in the underworld. He tells this to Anat, who flies into a rage and travels to the land of the dead to rescue Baal. She brutally kills Mot and revives Baal, allowing him to return to the world of the living.

### Nergal and Ereshkigal

Anu, the king of the Gods, holds a banquet, where all gods, including Ereshkigal, are invited to. As the goddess of the underworld, she cannot arrive, so she sends her vizier in her stead. Nergal, present at the banquet, mocks the vizier, and through this offends the goddess. Ereshkigal demands for Nergal to arrive in her realm to apologise for his rudeness. Ea, the god of wisdom, councils Nergal in how to navigate through the seven gates of the underworld without being trapped there. He notably tells the war-god to not eat or drink anything he is offered.

Nergal travels to the underworld's seven gates and follows Ea's instructions. When the god meets Ereshkigal, the two fall for each other and engage in in passionate intercourse for seven days and nights. Nergal returns to the realm of the gods after this, though Ereshkigal desires to be reunited with him, since she is now considered ritually impure by having lain with him. She demands Anu to send her love back down again, to which the sky god agrees. Nergal is forced to return to the underworld, though this time asserts his dominance by having forceful intercourse with Ereshkigal.

## Pop Culture

* Within Mike Mignola's Hellboy-comics, one of the Ogdru Jahad, the main antagonists of the whole story, is named after Nergal. The other Ogdru Jahad are also named after other Mesopotamian and Egyptian gods, which are named Adad, Belili, Irra, Numrat, Nun, and **Nergal**.
* Nergal appears as a fallen angel turned pagan god in the *Chronicles of the Nephlim*-book series by author Brian Godawa, in which he is the same being as the Canaanite god Moloch.

Hades

**Hades** was the Greek god of the underworld and wealth.

## Overview

### Background

Hades was one of the six children of Cronus and Rhea, alongside Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia. All save for Zeus were swallowed by their father, he forced Cronus to vomit the five other gods out and united they overthrew him. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades then drew straws on which aspect of the universe they would rule: Zeus became the lord of the skies, Poseidon lord of the seas and Hades became lord of the Underworld.

### As the ruler of the underworld

Hades ruled the underworld as a bearded man, sitting on a throne and carrying a bird-headed sceptre, governing over the souls of the dead. He allowed every dead soul into his realm, but with the help of the furies and Cerberus, stopped anyone from escaping the underworld. Only the heroes Heracles and Orpheus managed to enter the underworld and leave, though only with the permission of Hades.

### Abduction of Persephone

Hades rarely left the underworld and did partake in the meeting on Mount Olympus, though he eventually desired a spouse. Zeus decided that Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, would be the ideal fit for the lord of of the underworld and gave permission to him to abduct her. Hades did so, leaving Demeter distraught, and she stopped performing her divine duties on in agriculture and fertility, which led to massive famines among the humans.

Zeus noticed that humanity could no longer offer sacrifices and asked Hades to return the maiden back to her mother. Hades agreed to his brother, but before Persephone left, he made her eat the seeds of a pomegranate, which would bind her into the underworld for half of the year. The time of the year when Demeter and Persephone would be together in the world of the living became spring and summer, while the time when she returned to the underworld would become autumn and winter.

### Rituals

Hades and Persephone were worshipped together, and the two deities received sacrifices in the form of two lambs, one being black, the other white. Both were sacrificed by letting them bleed into a hole in the ground, and whoever had to perform the act had to look away while this happened.

Dagon

**Dagon**, also known as **Dagan**, was an important deity in Semitic and Mesopotamian religions and mythologies.

## Overview

### Family

As an important, but also obscure, god in West Semitic religions and mythologies is seen as a father to Yarikh, the god of the Moon, and Baal, the god fertility, weather, rain, wind, lightning, seasons, war, and sailors, though other sources claim that Ba'al's father is actually the El, the king of the gods and creator.

According to some sources, he was the father of the Ninurta, the Mesopotamian god of farming, healing, hunting, law, scribes, and war. This relation made sense, since Dagon was seen as the counterpart to Ninurta's more famous Mesopotamian father, Enlil.

### Comparison to other gods

Dagon has been compared to several other high-ranking gods in the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean religions and mythologies, such as Enlil, the Mesopotamian god of the air, wind, storms and thunder, and Kumarbi, the Hurrian king of the pantheon and god of grain.

### Demonology

Being a deity mentioned in the Old Testament, Dagon is one of the many gods that were demonised by later Christian theologians and demonologists, such as Amun, Baal, Moloch, Ashtoreth, Chemosh, and Tammuz. In some sources he is seen as a fallen archangel, who holds to several titles, such as grand pander of the royal household, judge of the dead, master baker of Hell, and prison guard of the seven children of Emmesharra.

## Pop Culture

* Dagon is featured as a fallen angel turned pagan god in John Milton's epic *Paradise Lost*.
* Dagon is mentioned several times in the works by H.P. Lovecraft, such as *The Shadow over Innsmouth* and the short story *Dagon*.
* Dagon appears in Brian Godawa's Chronicles of the Nephilim-series as fallen watcher turned pagan god.

**Jupiter**, also known as **Jove**, was the chief god of the Romans, who also served as the god of the sky and thunder.

## Overview

### Mythology

Jupiter was already worshiped by the latins before the founding of the Roman state and the mountain Monte Cavo was seen as the place of his dwelling. With the founding of Rome he would worshiped alongside the war-god Mars (who would later be syncretised with the Greek god Ares as Jove's son) and Quirinus, a mysterious god who might be the same figure as the legendary Romulus. Later on he was worshipped as Jupiter Optimus Maximus, who formed the Capitoline Triad with Juno, his wife, and Minerva, his daughter.

He would eventually be syncretised with the Greek god Zeus, which made Mount Olympus the place of his dwelling, and he also absorbed many of the laters myths, such as being the father of the legendary heroes and demigods, like Hercules and Perseus, and most of the other gods, like Mars, Vulcan, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, and Mercury.

Asaroka Takemitcheeks

Picture of Asaroka Takemitcheeks

Asaroka Takemitcheeks is a Canadian player who joined Polivus with her friend Johann Bewer. Together they drink excessive amounts of alcohol while developing the a new settlement on the northern tip of Suiris, the Træfallen Frontier.

* **Page Last Updated On:** August 26, 2021
* **In-Game Name (IGN):** Asarokaa

### **Lore/Backstory**

Asaroka Takemitcheeks was a random wanderer with her friend Johann Bewer. Together they stumbled upon a small city, that being Paradisios -- Capital of Suiris. They befriended Kai, the Prime Minister, and were introduced to alcohol by Jules. Ever since then, Asaroka and Johann have become known as Suiris' "token alcoholics" and basically do anything to get piss drunk on hard liquor. The based duo; true homies -- war heroes by day, war criminals by night. :sunglas:

### **Municipal Leader and Frontiersman in Træfallen**

On August 25 2021, Asaroka and Johann set off from Paradisios to the northern tip of the Suirisian nation in order to create a new settlement. Johann recently took an interest in urban planning as a hobby at the time, and wanted a "blank slate" in which he can put his studies into practice. The duo also wanted to help increase the development index of Suiris as a whole, as Paradisios became the only area anyone in the country lived in. When arriving, the duo created a makeshift underground shelter and set the groundwork for a new settlement they wanted to call "New Woodfall". However, after assimilating into Northern Suirisian culture, the frontier settlement was renamed to Træfallen (The Danish word for "wood" and the German word for "fall" combined) and approved by Prime Minister Kai a day later.
Mars

Mars, picture by Sailko

**Mars** was the Roman god of war and agriculture, who was seen as the patron and protector of the Roman people.

## Overview

Mars was seen as either the son of Jupiter or the son of Juno alone (as a revenge for Jupiter for spawning the goddess Minerva). He was associated with the month of March (which was named after him), since he awoke both the vegetation and the beginning of war.He was also important for the Romans as he was the father of Romulus, the founder of Rome, and Remus, both of whom he had sired by raping Rhea Silvia, a Vestal virgin. Alongside his father and the mysterious Quirinus, Mars was worshipped at Quirinal Hill.

Due to being the father of Romulus, he was also seen the patron and protector of the Roman people, and it was said that his descendants would always come to the aid of the nation in times of need. He would usually be paired with the mysterious goddess Nerio, Bellona, or Venus (though this likely came from Greek influence with the figure of Ares and Aphrodite). Despite this cultural connection to Ares, Mars was much more popular than his Greek counterpart, and he was very important in agriculture.

According to the poet Ovid, he was also desired Minerva as his spouse, though she refused due to her virgin-background. He turned to the goddess Anna Perenna for help, who herself desired to god of war and turned herself into the form of Minerva to seduce him. This worked and managed to become a consort of Mars.

The month March was named after the god and one of his feasts was celebrated on the first day of that month.

Nabu

**Nabu**, also known as **Nebo**, was the Mesopotamian god of literacy, the rational arts, scribes and wisdom, as well as the patron god of the city of Borsippa.

## Overview

### Relation to the other gods

Nabu was likely originally the sukkal, or divine minister, to Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, but over time he also became his son. Nabu was usually paired with Tashmetum, the goddess of supplication. As a god of wisdom he was also associated with Ea (the Akkadian variant of Enki), who would also be considered his grandfather through Marduk and Ninurta, a son of of the god Enlil.

### Worship

Nabu was considered the patron deity of the city of Borsippa (also known as Birs Nimrud), and his statue or cult image was directly tied to that of Marduk in the city of Babylon. Every new year the statue of Nabu would be transported from Borsippa to Babylon, in order to meet his father. His worship would also be adopted among the Assyrians, and later also among the Anatolians and Egyptians as well, allowing him to "outlive" the old Mesopotamian world.

### Symbols

As a god of wisdom, writing and craft, Nabu was often symbolised with a wedge, wiring stylus or clay tablet. He would also sometimes be showing holding dominion over a mušḫuššu-dragon, similar to his father Marduk or Adad, the god of storms and divination.

### Nabu in the Bible

Nabu is one of the Mesopotamian deities mentioned in the Bible:

> Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols are borne by beasts of burden. The images that are carried about are burdensome, a burden for the weary. They stoop and bow down together; unable to rescue the burden, they themselves go off into captivity.
>
> Isaiah 46:1-2

## Pop Culture

* Within DC-comics, there is the figure of Nabu the Wise, who is based on the Mesopotamian god.
