Gods

Gods are beings of immense power in the Kyeaph Universe. Wherever from which their power may originate, they hold the potential to cause great change throughout the world, for better or for worse. As there are many different gods, they naturally vary in power and influence. And as such, they hold different positions in the hierarchy of deities. Each god can be placed into one of four broad categories.

## Lesser Deities

Lesser deities are beings with enough power to be considered a god, but not much more beyond that. Wielding the Power of Creation or the Power of Destruction is a common method to ascending to the level of godhood, however it is not a requirement. What separates lesser deities from their more powerful counterparts mainly comes down to two factors; the fact that they have not fully linked their consciousness with the universe, and the fact that they can still be conventionally killed. The following are all lesser deities in the universe who are relevant to the history of Kyeaph.

**All lesser deities are listed in their respective groups. All members of each group are listed in alphabetical order.**

### Kyeaphel Pantheon

Athena, the Night Messenger • Audekyne, the Mother Goddess • Kalpani, the Smiling Sea • Nori'malath, Life of the Planet • Ohnaga, the Burning Eye • Remakan, Voice of the Gods • Vokkinaras, the Whirlwind • Zariel, the Final Judgment

### Divine Children

Berudegar, the Banished • Dorshalok, the Black Prince • Mikraele, the Golden Princess • Rapsorash, the Dragon • Syldrasan, the Unbroken

### Gods of the Old World

Nezerak, the Armageddon • Volsinareth, the Fallen

### Miscellaneous

Kuenos, Prince of Inon • Mherghora, the Ascended One
Dajhel

Dajhel is a thief who stole a map of the western Air Rift. He participated in a trade deal with the Serpent Pirates to return the map to them in exchange for dabloons.

However, in a turn of events, his map was stolen by the Kyeaph Crusaders before the deal took place. Feeling as though he was in too deep by the time he realized his map was gone, he took the dabloons and ran off. He escaped the pursuit of the Serpent Pirates, once again due to the effort of the Kyeaph Crusaders. More specifically, Abelard Myrddin.
Kyeaph Calendar

The Kyepah Calendar is the standard calendar used across the planet. It is comprised of 8 months, each consisting of 2 parts, both with an equal length of 26 days. Every month also has a single day proceeding it, known as a passing day, to mark the coming of the new month. This comes to a grand total of 424 days, known as a deita. Compared to an earth year, which is 365.25 days (accounting for leap years), a deita is approximately 16% longer than a year.

Each month of a deita is named after a member of the Kyeaphel Pantheon. In fact, each month is just a shortened version of all their names.

The Kyeaph Calendar is structured as follows.

> *Ohna Ex/Ohna Al (52 days total)*
>
>
> *Audek Passing Day (1 day)*

Dorshalok, the Black Prince

Dorshalok is the god of shadows and madness, and one of the five Divine Children. He is also the son of Audekyne and Krenshalok, as well as the brother of Mikraele.

Dorshalok never saw eye to eye with his mother nor the other gods on how to go about overseeing Kyeaph. The Pantheon took a distant and removed approach to governing the planet, mainly not interfering with the course of history and civilization as it unfolded. But as half-kyeaphel, Dorshalok and his sister Mikraele were always compelled to act when injustice and suffering befell their people. They could not sit idly by, letting death and destruction thrive uncontested, destroying villages, towns, and even cities of people. However, when Mikraele was banished into the heavens above for tampering too much with the lives of mortals, contempt and resentment for the gods festered in Dorshalok's soul.

He was now more motivated than ever to overthrow the pantheon's reign, and usher in an era where the evils of war, slavery, and other atrocities would not be allowed to flourish. He would recruit powerful agents to help him protect the planet, and create a world where righteousness can blossom. He didn't wish for the death or downfall of the gods, for he did not see them as wicked or corrupt. But their terribly misguided beliefs, as he saw them, could not stop his mission for a better future.
