Religion in Olara

**Gods** and **Goddesses** in the Olaran pantheon. They were first created by Olara during The Founding, and have existed and looked over humanity ever since.

## History

The first gods were created by Olara, during The Founding. They soon after created the continents we now know today. Each god or goddess created there continent in the style and culture that they saw fit. They vary quite differently, and these 7 gods don't often speak to mortals. After the continents were created, many other gods were established and these are more commonly seen amongst mortals. Vohas, Ekonas, and Aralan are the leaders of the first generation gods purely by continent power.

## The Wildmother

Olara is known as 'The Wildmother' and she created all of the gods and goddesses Olara knows current day. She was the start of our world and she fought against the Primordials and Betrayers with her children. It has never been recorded if she has been seen by a mortal, we only know her because her children are quite fond of her. There are many many temples all around Olara dedicated to the Wildmother.

## First Generation Gods

* **Vohas:** God of Voha, created his continent with temperance in mind, and wanted his land to stick to themselves, and in turn created one of the most successful continents.
* **Ekonas:** God of Ekon, created his continent with patience and wanted his continent to develop slowly. He created one of the most prosperous and rich continents.
* **Aralan:** God of Aral, she created her two islands with kindness in mind, she created one of the most accepting and culturally rich islands.
* **Lannigan**: God of the Lannigan Islands, he originally created the islands with charity in mind, but has since moved away from that notion.
* **Uyai:** God of Uyai, they created the continent with diligence in mind, and similarly to Ekonas, slowly created a very rich nation. By far the wealthiest of all the first generation.
* **Drish:** God of Seadrish, originally created as a chastity god, he completely turned head, and created a nation full of free, and hard working people.
* **Varin & Varis:** Gods of the Zemoris Twins, created the two islands to represent humility, but ironically have never been humble themselves.

## Second Generation Gods

There are endless amounts of second generation gods, that have been created either by the first generation, or simply by mortal need. Here are a few important ones that we have seen already:

* **Kizena**: Goddess of Hope, daughter of Vohas & Aral. Twin to Oldir.
* **Oldir**: God of Truth, son of Vohas & Aral. Twin to Kizena.
* **Nudar**: God of Chaos, son of Vohas & Aral. Younger sibling to Kizena and Oldir.
* **Idos**: Goddess of Success, daughter of Aral (only).

## Relationships between the Gods

Many first generation gods had children together, and some are quite close.

* **Vohas** and **Aral** have many children together, seen as the "parents" of Olara. Also have quite the complicated relationship.
* **Drish** & **Lannigan** are best friends, and have been inseperable since they were created.
* **Varin** & **Varis** are twins and rarely meet or talk with the other gods.
* **Ekonas** & **Uyai** have a purely business relationship, and often facilitate trade between the two continents.
