Gods

"*There are many gods, some most likely yet to be created. None are alike, and many hate one another. However, they all share a single all-important trait: the ability to exert awesome power over this world.*"
―Albert Elsynbrigge, famed deific scholar

## Categorization of the gods:

The Principal Gods are of varying ages. A major mechanic of this is that there are several known important periods in which gods came to be. This is the most prominent of the several major ways that they are categorized by deific scholars.

### The First Gods

These gods were created as a necessity to control the more violent and important forces of nature. Things which have always been since the world's inception. They are the oldest and most seclusive of the gods. They are:

* Ahrnfren, God of Balance
* Deinisis, Goddess of Destruction
* Creastus, God of Creation
* Dhiadus, God of Time

### The Morning Gods

Also called the Gods Before Time for their early arrival, although the youngest of them were born much after both Dhaidus and the beginning of early civilizations, these are the gods created by the world as its need matured by harboring life. These gods are more closely related to nature and its regulation. They are:

* Thaerena, Goddess of Night
* Aellus, God of Day
* Aedwyd, Goddess of Life
* Xahaax, God of Death
* Zeth, God of Famine
* Ghulzighild, Goddess of Gluttony
* Rond, God of Battle
* Helusisis, Goddess of Charity

### The Evening Gods

Also called quite simple the Recent Gods for their relative youth, these gods were created as civilizations became more established across the world, injecting new and powerful forces into existence. As a result, they are the closest gods to the mortal races, and tend to sympathize or manipulate them much more than their elders. They are:

* Erion, Goddess of the Harvest
* Taalia, Goddess of Peace
* Haxxas, God of War
* Fethgolud, God of Poverty
* Llyndra, God of Wealth

### The Aberration

There is but one god in this category, who is the only god who has been created by himself and exists against any semblance of order to the word. That god is:

* Ixxas, God of Undeath
