Lesser Gods

These were the aspects or manifestations of the Avatars in the ancient ages before mortals learned to record time. Originally, each Avatar created one aspect or physical avatar.

The Avatar of Light created Mishaela goddess of love.
The Avatar of Darkness created Darius god of corruption.
The Avatar of Knowledge created Talon the smith god of crafts who forged Tal itself.
The Avatar of Wild created Quintox god of the forests.
The Avatar of Death created Barak god of war.
The Avatar of Justice created Troy god of stability, law and defence.

These were called the golden age gods, but in turn other aspects were created from them as mortals explored the complexity of the divine. Then in turn more were created from the new manifestations. Some manifest avatars were so minor that they were almost mortal these small fragments were called demi-gods. Some examples of these would be the first catlord Cosmos, The Wight Lord Leshrak Thaneraith, The Mountain King of the Barkarin Mountains, The Matriarch of the dragonites, the True spirit of Woodguard. These aspects of the Avatar's power were more akin to high level planar beings such as Arch Angels and Demon Princes.

**Choas**

Chaos had no fragments with distinct identity. It defied regulation and manifests avatars by the million, constanly changing and rarely worshiped or even remotely understood. He represents true chaos not just in opposition to law but as in opposition to any structure or balance whatsoever.

All the Avatars use Divinia and as such there was no designated god of magic worshiped on Tal. However Knowledge understands the flow of magical power the best and through knowledge came the study of Arcania and Runia. Wizards tend therefore to a worship of one of the avatar aspects of Knowledge.

The Avatars live on the planes, but these lesser aspects are often manifest within their places of power within the six planes. Demi-gods were present on the material plane only.
