Demigods

## Kerryn

### God of Darkness

The first son of Zoros and Mortis. He is the reason shadows are cast, why dark colours exist, and why the sky is dark during the night. He helped Stellani create space, making the stars stand out much brighter in the darkened sky. He created the Breksta in his own image.

A long time ago, Kerryn found himself enthralled with Faven. Stellani did not approve of their relationship, stating that they had responsibilities as gods they must learn to do before they had a relationship. The two were young, foolish, and in love. Because of Stellani’s statements, they removed their masks together and surrendered their godhood. Quickly regretting this, Faven and Kerryn resented one another. The races they created in their images are now in a vicious rivalry.

## Faven

### Goddess of Light and Warmth

Faven created both concepts of light and warmth, inspiring Agnia to create fire. She is the reason there are bright colours and the reason that objects glow. Faven is the daughter of Stellani and his inspiration for creating the stars. She created the Ra’bas in her own image. Once, long ago, Faven fell in love with Kerryn and removed her mask with him. This surrendered their godhood and made them both mortal. They quickly regretted this. The races they’d created grew to hate each other, corrupted by their creators’ intense feelings of resentment.

Over the years, Faven produced three children, though she never speaks of their fathers. The eldest child, Alshams Alhariqa, often called Ali. The middle child, Matarid Allayl. Finally, there is her favorite child, Rimal Mutaharika. Though most just know her has Rimal.

## Appolyon

### God of Destruction and Wrath

Appolyon was destructive from the day he was born, often opting for the most violent option. He worried Zoros greatly, and rightly so. He stood behind keeping the Suha in the world, but not out of pity, out of admiration.

After a specific temper tantrum caused by the abandonment of his older brother, in which he wiped out nearly all of the male Druantia, Gaio forced the boy to rip his mask from his own face. Unleashed onto the world with a new endless fury, the only option was to imprison him.

Currently, Appolyon resides in the sea, trapped within a prison kept strong by God-King Kai. If not for him, Appolyon would have broken out long ago.

## Arethnes

### God of Honour and Combat

The son of Agni is a strange case, as he willingly removed his own mask and gave up his godhood. But he was not persuaded by a lover, nor tortured into it by a vengeful God. Arethnes' reasons were that he wanted to walk amongst the creations of the other Masked Ones.

He's spent all of his years on the earth of Astiri traveling by foot or by boat. He's learned many forms of combat from every country he's been to and seen every inch of the land this world holds. He still wears a mask, though it is not one that gives him godly powers. His reasons are unknown.

Arethnes often stops along his constant travels to teach a random passerby how to fight or to enforce goodness. All people who have witnessed this demigod recall feeling either quite safe or in an incredible amount of danger when around him. This varies between good-natured people and bad-natured people, respectively.
