dress or gown.
History: Daughter of Caesia and Aeris, Jacira is the goddess of love and loyalty. She is
primarily worshipped by the young who have yet to have their heart broken. Once this
happens, her followers tend to feel betrayed and abandon thier faith to honor another
god. However, Jacira is incredibly loving toward those who worship her, but strives to
teach them forgiveness and disappointment so they will be able to better appreciate her
gifts and will be able to cope with other aspects of their lives that she has no control
over. She does not send true love until her follower has learned compassion.
Niya, Mother of the Races

Influence over: Fertility, animals, and nature
Avatar: A middle-aged priestess of any race, normally found in a garden or otherwise
communing with nature.
History: The youngest daughter of Aeris and Caesia, Niya is the goddess of Fertility. While
at first her title might seem misleading, as she is said to have only two children of her
own, Tayln and Linca, it is she who was charhed with the well-being of the races her
father created. Her followers are mainly women, though men have been known to
worship her as well. Obviously, couples trying to have children pray to her even if she is
not their chief deity. Niya listens to all who pray to her, follower or not, as she considers
all mortals to be her children.
Acadia, Scholar of Truth
Symbol: Open book
Colors: Pale yellow
Influence over: Wisdom, knowledge, truth, scribes, students
Avatar: A scribe, male or female, of any race, always seen carrying a large old book.
History: The daughter of Sabre and Callis, Acadia is the goddess of Wisdom and Truth. As
such, she is the patron of students and scholars. Her followers are many, almost placing
her on the same popularity level as that of the three godheads. Her temples may easily
be mistaken for libraries as they hold books sacred and keep a variety on every subject
imaginable. Acadia holds within herself the wisdom of the ages and the complete history
of Lithrah.
Mahla, the Muse
Symbol: Lyre
Colors: Rainbow
Influence over: the Arts
Avatar: A bard of any race, male or female, wearing brightly colored exotic garments and
usually seen playing the lyre.
History: The eldest daughter of Jacira and Dalziel, Mahla is the goddess of the Arts.
Although she is associated with all forms of artistic expression she is most often thought
of in connection to music. Bards are her most loyal followers and many look to her for
inspiration. Mahla spends much time among these mortals, sharing stories and song.
There are some minstrels who claim to be close personal friends with the goddess, to the
point of being her drinking or traveling companion.
Mikos, the Peacemaker
Symbol: Shattered sword
Colors: White
Influence over: Peace and Victory
Avatar: A human warrior in shining steel armor
History: The son of Linca and Ralis, Mikos is the god of Peace and Victory. Although he is
a god of Light and his followers are primarily of a good alignment, he is also honored by
those of neutrality and evil; though their devotion is more centered on victory than peace.
Mikos's popularity is relative to the number and intensity of the battles taking place in
Lithrah. Most armies are accompanied by at least one of his clerics.
