Pantheons

Within Thaelis-Y'Aada, there are many spirits which are worshipped as deities, but while all gods and the divine courts are aware of each other, amongst mortals their reverence and indeed knowledge of their very existence is not homogenous across the world. Rather, the deities are divided into pantheons which reign in the four "quarters" of the world.

Within this pantheon, Sif is known as the over-parent, having given birth in ancient times to three children, Nyshor, Tes'Ssyk and the dragon Aipaloovik. For a time Aipaloovik was a companion and friend to the god and goddess, who were wed and gave rise to four children of their own. These four children were firstly the twin brothers Tormnthur and Weendigo, and later the sisters Yskalyss and Flamberge. Tormnthur was a great warrior and rapidly earned the love of his sister Yskalyss and the jealousy of his brother. The god earned this praise through various feats of courage and strength, including single combat with the ogre god Kaath and the defeat of a great tentacled beast of the deep (Kraken) with the aid of Anguta, the King of Whales. In time, Yskalyss bore Tormnthur a child, Fashoona. When the brothers Weendigo and Tormnthur were attacked and entombed beneath ice by Aipaloovik, who had been driven mad by the death of Sif at the breath of the "Sky-Fire" (Immol), Weendigo had the idea to consume all of the pairs' rations, allowing himself to survive and causing the death of Tormnthur. However, Tormnthur attained Flamberge's aid in melting the ice with her flames, and when Nyshor discovered Weendigo's treachery she banished him from the divine family, fating him to be gnawed at by hunger for eternity. In return for her aid in saving his life, Flamberge demanded that Tormnthur become her lover, for she envied Yskalyss. Being a god of his word, Tormnthur did so, which ended his marriage to Yskalyss, who vowed never to feel emotion again and departed for the ice wastes. She took Fashoona with her and left him to die on the tundra, hating that he reminded her of Tormnthur's betrayal. However the infant survived, and grew to be filled with rage, hating the world that abandoned him and seeking its destruction.
