Three Kings

The **Three Kings** (Novantirna: **Vairandes**, **Vaiarča**) are three supreme deities in the Novantirna pantheon: Lumbařiz, Odin, and Makravalas.

## The Three Gods

The three gods are Makravalas, Lumbariz, and Odin.

Makravalas was the father of the first Celestial Emperor, therefore by venerating him and his dragons the Novantirnas make themselves the successors of the Celestial Empire.

By worshipping Lumbariz, they honour the god who rescued their ancestors from destruction during the War in Heaven. They relish and flourish in the ever-advancing technology in their hands.

By venerating Odin, the bringer of civilisation and morality, the Malendors are inspired to commit greater acts of science and creativity. In Odin's frenzy, they are turned from the tools of Heaven into the sword of the Gods, unleashing holy wrath against their enemies and hunting them down.

- a hymn to the Three Gods

The capital planet of Holy Novantir is consecrated to all three gods.

## Trivia

* The Three Kings, as a concept, may have been influenced by the Trimurti of Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) or the Triad from Dungeons and Dragons.
	+ Like the Triad from DnD with Tyr, the Novantirna Three Kings also incorporates a Norse deity as one of its three supreme gods, Odin.
* The syncretism between the worship of the three deities may also be influenced by the Three Teachings (三教合一, Sānjiào Héyī), a syncretic practice of Buddhism with the Chinese religions Taoism and Confucianism.
