Gods of Veiltouria

There are many gods within the Realmsphere, though not all are made equal. Some are divine aspects of reality, the building blocks of entire realms given thought, while others are simply mortals elevated to a higher station. Whatever their origin or breed, all divine beings within the Realmsphere are immensely powerful, and are linked more to the esoteric Primordial Realms than the grounded Mortal Realm.

## Forms of God

Not all Gods in Veiltouria are of the same ilk. There are three types of God, determined by their origin. These are:

### **Erraté**

Gods that predated mortals, the the Erraté are extremely powerful and represent elemental fury and abstract concepts. Over time these Gods assumed control of certain domains of mortal life, but they are not beholden to mortals for their creation.

### **Íshnubar**

Íshnubar are Gods that were elevated to their station by an Erraté. They are given a minor aspect of the Erraté's to command and draw power from, as well as their Lesser Domain within the realm to rule. Collective faiths within the Mortal Realm are often formed around an Íshnubar. The Íshnubar serve as heralds and champions of their Erraté, fighting their divine battles and ensuring their goals and agendas are being achieved.

### **Demigod**

Part mortal and part God, Demigods are typically born from a union between God and mortal. This can occur in many different ways, whether it be a Gods avatar or vessel siring an offspring, or a mortal finding a weapon or gaining empowerment from a God. Unlike the other two kinds of Gods, Demigods are free to traverse Terra Aletheia at will.

## The Erraté

The most powerful gods within the Realmsphere are the Erraté, eleven primordial deities formed from the building blocks of the Realmsphere itself. The Erraté are all powerful within their realms, and often have influence and impact on the Mortal Realm, for good or ill. The members of the Erraté are the following:

* Ax Mystia: God of Fire and Logic
* Barochrona: God of Time and Tradition
* Draugnath: God of Death and Order
* Edwardius: God of Shadow and Hatred
* Jiggormund: God of Life and Chaos
* Jornhelm: God of Winter and War
* Octavius: God of Light and Compassion
* Ogrimmoth: God of Earth and Innovation
* Shog-Ammonoth: God of Water and Legend
* Themistrea: God of Nature and Peace
* Tierawuay: God of Sky and Freedom

### The Banished One

There is another Erraté, now only known as The Banished One. The Banished One was once a powerful and beloved God, the most worshipped being in all of Veiltouria. Over time, its arrogance grew and it began to interfere in mortal affairs more and more. Soon, through trickery and manipulation, it crossed over into Terra Aletheia and ruled Veiltouria as its God-King.

The other Erraté united together under one cause and poured all their power into champions, great heroes of their time. These Champions fought and defeated The Banished One. The Erraté then dragged it back into its home plane, shutting it off from the other planes and wiping its name from the very fabric of existence. In doing so, they prevent The Banished One's followers from giving it power through worship.

The remnants of The Banished Ones kingdom morphed into what came to be known as The Heartlands. Sanctacivitor, a holy city, rose still worshipping The Banished One. Carrying on its legacy of control and power, The Holy City began to exert its influence on Veiltouria, doing everything it can to try and return their lost God.
