Gods and Demigods of Demijoure
The balance of power in Demijoure in the Divine sense is a unique one. Until the Chaos War, the gods were all together on the Divine plane staying out of the mortal
affairs. However, it was during the invasion of the god of Chaos Kindetherionus that the gods were split into two factions and forced to fight one another on the
physical plane. This event caused the death of many of the gods, the demigods, however, were able to mostly escape unharmed. Until recently there has been little
activity from the Divine Plane, and the gods have been distant, those that might be alive. Current religions of Dionus and Ivital are fighting still for balance of power,
and the truth of their gods being alive. Stories of the Chaos War, however, tell that it was the day all the gods ceased to exist. It is unapparent if the gods will
ever be able to return to the realm.
This is a small list of the gods that are rumored to be alive still, and the Gods that used to exist in the realm.
Dionus
Dionus is the god of good and life in Advocates, and the central diety of the Dionus religion. Dionus is still, after all these years, the main religion of the First Kingdom
and the most widely practiced religion in the entire realm. Dionus played a large role in pulling the Disciples together to fight the Nine Advocates of Darkness, as well as
a central part in the destruction of the Nova Orb. Until that time, Dionus stayed distant and away from the realm. Even after his appearance for the Advocates of Darkness (By proxy)
he was still distant from the religious body. During the Chaos War he was supposidly killed.
Ivital
Ivital is the god of both justice and revenge in Demijoure. He, with Dionus played a central part in the shaping of the realm as it is now through the Chaos War. However,
the two religions still are at odds with one another. The Ivitian religion placing their seat within the city of Dele was one of the driving forces between the war of Dionus
and Ivitian supporters. Eventually through the Chaos War supporters of both religions began to realize the gods both worked together. Currently Dele is still the seat of the
Ivitian religion, and the supporters of Ivital are working on becoming more influential in the First Kingdom government.
Pestula (Pes - tyu - la)
Pestula is the goddess of Death and Disease. It is her demigods that have terrorized the people of Demijoure for years spreading a dark name for the goddess. During the
Chaos War Pestula sided with the gods instead of Kindetherionus, and was killed. However, cults of Pestula still exist through the First Kingdom, though underground, they hold
a grip of terror on some citizens who cling to the old stories of ritual murder and serial killings.
Kindetherionus (Kin - der - thir - ee - onus)
Kindetherionus is the god of chaos and had established himself as one of the most powerful gods early in the creation of the realm. His thirst for mortal pleasure kept him enthralled
with the Nine Planes of Existence and kept him returning. Eventually he became so enthralled he attempted to merge both Divine and created planes. The gods imprisoned him from which he
escaped and began a full war between gods who were stained by mortal feelings and life, and the gods who would not stand for the corruption. Kinder (Nickname) was killed during
the war by Rastlin Meliciat, and support for the dark god has greatly disappeared.
Jalinthesil (Ja - lan - tha - sil)
Jalinthesil (Jalin) the god of Hatred and Destruction was killed during the Chaos War. He is a god that does not and has never gained much attention from supporters. Since the Chaos War
the previous god of destruction has passed onto being a distant memory.
Tekumaramus
Tekumaramus (Teku) is the god of evil, and was one of the gods that sided with Kinder during the Chaos War. He died during the battle in the last push of the gods. Teku
still has some shrines devoted to his memory, however, these shrines have feel into disarray due to not having supporters in years.
The Demigods of Demijoure are the representation of powers that are not often direct aspects of the gods. A Demigod is selected usually by the gods for being an excellent
example of that power. Demigods that have existed in the past will be listed here for example. However, some of these demigods are deceased and rumors float through the realm
that there are new successors.
