Gods of Eastlux

Eastlux is a world that consists of 32 gods of various degrees of power and influence. The gods have major influence across all of Eastlux and occasional choose mortals of Eastlux as their Champions. Sometimes these champions may be promoted to the status of a demigod. The gods of Eastlux follow a similar system to the 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons book, Mythic Odyssey of Theros.

There are 5 Tiers for the various gods of Eastlux, Ultimate Existential Entity, Multiverse Entities, Greater Deities, Intermediate Deities, and Lesser Deities. There are also quite a few notable demigods that have been created by the gods as well.

Note: There is an intentional lack of the word "Goddess" for the sake of simplicity. None of the gods have true distinct genders but some choose to take forms that take on various forms of gender expression. This exception comes from the demigods, which all originated as mortals.

## Greater Existential Entity

There exists one greater existential Entity, the deity duo:

### Exis and Ve

Exis and Ve are known as one entity and considered to be both the gods of Existence (Exis) and Void (Ve) simultaneously. Without them, there would be no reality.

For the longest time Exis and Ve were considered myths until the incident of the S.S. Elysium proved their existence in an event that will be remembered by all. The leading theory for their purpose is that Ve is in a constant struggle with Exis to eliminate reality into a void of oblivion.

Exis and Ve created the Multiverse Entities but, because they take no definite form and are considered "everything," the gods never take any physical forms and an encounter with them is astronomically rare.

## Multiverse Entities

The Mutliverse Entities are the creations of Exis & Ve in order for the god duo to feel like they have a purpose. The Multiverse Entities control the constraints that set the multiverse in motion. These gods are considered to be omnipotent and rarely occupy a form or vessel, but it is not unheard of. While it is possible to be a champion of these deities, it is also astronomically rare.

### Sori, God of Forces

Creator of the Astral Saddle, aka the space in between and first creation of Exis and Ve. Sori is also the one who controls the forces of nature of the multiverse. Sori can create entirely new forces that are vital to the multiverse or change the properties of the current forces. Sori is capable of completely breaking or recreating the fundamental forces of nature. There are five known forces of nature, four of which are the ones comparable to real life and the last one being what scientists dub the "Magic Force" which is the force in charge of magic. The Magic Force was an accidental creation that Sori did not intend to create and cannot get rid of it. Sori has never chosen a mortal to be one of their champions and rarely interacts with any mortals, or any of the other gods for that matter.

Sori will occasionally interact with aggression if there is turmoil on the Astral Plane and completely annihilate an individual by removing the strong nucelar force of the atoms that make up the individual. There has only been one speculated occurrence of this situation, and it is largely considered a myth.

### Leux, God of Light

Creator of the Upper Saddles and the one who controls light. Leux was the second entity to be created by Exis and Ve. Leux can manipulate light as she wishes and plays a very important role in the inner workings of the Multiverse. Leux is the most popular multiverse entity amongst the mortals of Eastlux but she rarely interacts with them. Leux usually promotes mortals to the status of an angelic demigod when she is in need of a champion. This is extremely rare as the only time she would need a champion would be to resolve a conflict in the Upper Saddles, which has only occurred once with the Cyr Saddle Convergence Event when the God of Chaos, Cyr, manipulated the saddles of the multiverse to randomly overlap with one another, potentially creating a multiverse calamity.

The champion chosen by Leux was an Aasimar named Yui. Yui now resides peacefully in the Upper Saddles. Leux will take on the form of a unique blackbody radiation pegasus when she wants to interact with the various entities of the universe.

### Xantharis, God of Energy

Unlike the other gods, Xantharis did not create any particular saddles. Xantharis provides the multiverse with the ability for everything to move and do work: Energy. Xantharis controls energy and regulates the way it influences the rest of the multiverse. Xantharis is the only entity capable of creating more energy to counteract the effects of entropy, but Xantharis does not do it often. Xantharis, as well as End are the two most neutral multiverse entities that never chose any champions and rarely interact with anything but focus on their essential job for the universe.

Energy is rarely tampered with and if it is, Xantharis is capable of resolving the issue independently. The existence of magic is the only thing that defies the regulations of energy; however, Xantharis is aware of this and does not pose it as a threat at the time being.

### End, God of Entropy

Like Xantharis, End did not create any particular saddles. End provides the multiverse with the most destructive characteristic of the multiverse, the gradual increase in disorder and randomness: Entropy. End is in charge for the existence of Entropy and is a creation of Ve to counteract the influence of Exis in order to give their existence more meaning. End is the most neutral entity in the multiverse and does not interact with anything with the sole purpose of maintaining the increase in entropy.

Entropy, as far as we know, cannot be manipulated. Magic cannot even stop entropy. Luckily, entropy is no immediate danger and it is theorized that the likes of Xantharis and Viarax can potentially hold keep it from consuming everything.

### Viarax, God of Spacetime

Creator of Limbo, the liminal saddles of fragmented spacetime and mundane torture, and the one who controls the three dimensions of space, single dimension of time, and all other dimensions if they exist. Viarax is considered the most powerful of the multiverse entities because of their influence on nearly everything and having the ability to completely rewrite exist through means of time. Viarax controls time in the multiverse and opts for an Everett interpretation of timelines in the world of Eastlux. As such, the word "timeline" and "parallel universe" are synonymous when discussing time in Eastlux. To simplify time, Viarax made a distinct rule that only one timeline can be activated in existence at once. There are approximately thousands of time leaps everyday that go completely unnoticed by mortals unless they are born with a magical ability to remember previous timelines.

As there are an infinite amount of timelines that exist, there are also an infinite amount of timelines that have been completely destroyed through various means. These "destroyed timelines" are not literally destroyed but their fragments exist in the saddle of Limbo, a near impossible to access saddle, rarely occupied because of how dangerous it is. Viarax is one of the only multiverse entities that does interact with other beings and has a chosen champion to help, in only one can exist at a time too. The current Champion of Viarax is Luks, the President of United Eastlux in all known timelines.

## Greater Deities

The greater deities are separate from the multiverse entities. They were not created but were conjured by the natural forces of the multiverse. The multiverse entities did not have any influence in the natural creation of these deities. These ten deities are the first beings to use the multiverse entities to manipulate the multiverse and bring meaning. This age is considered "The Age of Genesis." The greater deities are often referred to the as the "Deityrs" in Eastlux.

### Cyr, God of Chaos

Original creator of the Shadow of Eastlux (Shadowfell) and Fae Realm of Eastlux (Feywild). Cyr is a mischievous god who brought the Abberations and and Fey to the world of Eastlux. Cyr was exiled from both of their created realms and now resides in the Astral Saddle, trying to influence their calamity upon the rest of the multiverse. Cyr is known for the Cyr Saddle Convergence Event, in which Cyr killed all of their champions to take their power and use that power to ensue the most chaos possible by converging all of the saddles together into one. This event was ultimately a failure and resulted not only in a mass genocide of The Underneath of Eastlux (Underdark) in which most of their followers reside, but Cyr was forever banished to the Astral Saddle by the multiverse entities.

Cyr was an accidental creation due to the forces of Entropy, and was created as a means to speed up Entropy. Cyr's goal in life is to bring pure chaos to the entire universe. Cyr is also known to be the force behind quantum mechanics and provides the random qualities in particles such as their probability based position.

Cyr usually takes the form of a Satyr, Nymph, Beholder, or Drow and usually ventures through the material plane in a less powerful form unnoticed by the mortals or other gods. Cyr has many champions, many of which are not aware of the genocide that occurred very early on. Most of Cyr's champions reside in the Underneath of Eastlux. The way Cyr chooses champions comes in the form of a mischievous event in which the appearance of the chosen on is changed to become more Fey-like or Shadow-like. Cyr always chooses champions that have a fey parent or fey ancestry.

### Lyr, God of Life

Creator of the original humanoid beings, changelings. Lyr is the reason the humanoids of Eastlux exists. During the age of genesis, Lyr was the first of the Deityrs to bring life to Eastlux by creating changelings, originally an amorphous blob with the characteristic to change their shape with limits. With the help of Nyr, Lyr allowed these changelings to partake in the natural selection of Eastlux for millions of years, unknown as the "Age of Evolution." Lyr allowed the changelings 4,500,700 years of evolution to take place in which after that the various kinds of changelings that were left would lose their ability to change form and they would be stuck like that for the rest of existence. This age of evolution resulted in the humanoids we have today such as humans, dwarves, elves, etc. Cyr allowed the changelings to also thrive in his saddles of Shadow and Fae as well which resulted in the creatures that reside there. Only a few changelings still exist today and they can now change their shape with little limits and are no longer amorphous blobs but humanlike.
