Sakautari mythology

This is an article about the various mythologies of the Sakautari peoples.

Characters who are listed under the "folklore" sections are *not* worshipped by the Sakautari or their religions.

## Creator deities

These five creator deities are venerated by most Sakautari peoples, except for the Perenians and most indigenous Iruwasians aside from the southerners, who did not have these deities in their religions.

To honour them, the Sakautari people plaster red or blue diamonds with prayers written to these deities, and fly four pennants.

* Dragon King - father of the northern tribes and dragons
* Sky Father and Sky Mother - father and mother of the Celestials
* Mountain Lord - father of the eastern tribes and the Vozonids
* Earth Mother - mother of the southern tribes

These creators molded the world from clay.
