Divine Lords

Divine Lords, or Lords, are god-like mortal beings created directly by the gods of the Lunareth Pantheon. Their purposes are varied, mostly to satisfy a need or curiosity of their creators.

### Creation

The first deity in the Pantheon to create a Lord was Erasil, God of Magic and the Moons. He discovered the power after Lunareth's surface was scorched by Thusur I. He sent down the very first Lord, Erin The Keeper, to Lunareth to guide the survivors underground, where they could learn to create life from scratch.

Since then, Erasil has shared this knowledge with the rest of the gods. Many gods have since made Lords for whatever purpose they deem necessary. Still, Erasil is the god with the most Lords, most of which make up the Lunar Guard, who guard Mythspire and its queen.

### Life Span

The lifespan of a Divine Lord is unknown. Erasil's first Lord, Erin The Keeper, has lived for over one thousand years, since the beginning of the Era of the Descent. Most Lords, however, live only as far as their creators allow them. They are born at a predetermined age, which they remain in until they die or are called back by their creators. For a Lord to return to their creator is a great honor, a symbol of having completed their divine task.

### Powers

Divine Lords often have powers similar to their creators. Most of Erasil's Lords are incredible Wizards, while other deities like Catarr might prefer to create Druids and Rangers. While most Lords have magical abilities like their creators, they sometimes have no powers at all. The gods have often made Lords out of whim or precaution, not necessity. These act as guards to their realms or simply live out normal lives waiting to be summoned.

Like powers of faith or oath, the powers that Lords receive from their creators are often under contract. They must follow certain rules or complete certain tasks in order to maintain their powers or receive new ones.

### Appearance

Divine Lords often look like their creators, or like the creatures that live in their home planes. A Lord of Diesis, God of Invention, named Theems The Scholar, is a Githzerai, who are from the Plane of Stars where Diesis is from.

Divine Lords also sometimes have distinct features that separate them from others who look like them. Whether it be unusual hair, eye, or skin colors, strange birthmarks, or supernatural features like fangs, claws, wings, fur, or feathers.

### Notable Divine Lords

#### Erin The Keeper, Lord of Erasil

The first divine lord in existence, Erin was created by Erasil and sent to Lunareth after the planet surface was scorched to lead the mortal races to prosperity underground. Her impact was so much so that she has been named Queen of Mythspire, the first city of The Cradle.

#### Theems The Scholar, Lord of Diesis

When Diesis moved to the Crescent Plane, he also learned to create Lords directly from Erasil. His first Lord, Theems, was sent to the Arcane Archive in Valera to learn all he could of this new realm. Today, Theems' vast knowledge of all subjects is regularly inquired about by those under his tutelage as Head Scribe.

#### Markon The Warlord, Lord of Ena

To prevent war in other planes of existence, the Goddess of War, Ena created many Lords. While most never have needed to leave the comfort of their lives to serve their creator, Markon has no other choice. As Ena's Lord in the Plane of Elemental Chaos, his job is never ending. While often referred to as "The Warlord", his real job is more along the lines of a gate guard, ensuring the malignant forces of Fivor, the God of Disaster, do not leave their realm.
