Wyrd (pronounced “Weird”)
Although the Perdoh Triad is recognized as the primary force of creation and destruction on Terra Nova, there is a greater force that even the Traid can't control. This force isn't truly recognized as a "god" persay, but is thought of more to be in everything living and non-living in the universe.

Perdoh Traid (pronounced “Perhd”)

Spirit Wolf Triad
The "lesser" Triad of Terra Nova, and also the "earth-based" messengers of the Perdoh Triad. Made up of: Motaki (primary temple is Motacrux), Makuyi (primary temple is Makucrux), and Aiypui (primary temple is Aiycrux).

The Siberian Faerie (Vitallia): pure white tiger felidon. Oldest known vampire in Terra Nova. Can be trapped in an ice coffin if her wings are severed, and can also be killed if she is beheaded. Also known as the Anam Sidhe ("Soul Faerie"; as with the older race of faeries and vampires, she requires soul and spirit as well as blood to survive). Allied with Oidche.

Siah Rin: Not a true goddess, but celebrated by demons as the first fallen angel of Terra Nova. Pronounced “Sigh-Rihn”.

Goddess of the Night (Oidche): Black cheetah fractae. Member of the former Triple Morrigan before she killed her two other sisters. Oidche was killed by a curse set upon her by her late sisters but was later ressurrected. Was later killed a second and final time by the elementress Arianrhad Pendragon and now lives as a powerless wraith in the Dark Isles. Allied with Vitallia, the Siberian Faerie. Pronounced two different ways, depending on the continent; in Akrin its “OI-chEE”, in Skraekor its “EE-haw”.

The Ice Maidens: made up of three snow leopard felidons: Agatha, Awne, and Adeline. Adeline, the youngest, became allied with Cyros during his quest to regain the throne, and later became his life mate and the Queen of Dralost.

Veerdah: bluish-roan unipeg. Mainly a goddess of prophets, she only appears in dreams. The steed of Lady Peacemaker.

God of Death (Lorcan): gray wolf fractae who rules over the Dark Isles.

Demi God of Sleep (Caolàn): gray wolf fractae. Although not a true god, Caolàn is Lorcan’s half-brother, thus making him a sort of “little death” and ruler of dreams. Caolàn has a secret love for the former goddess Oidche, and has made it his goal to somehow return the dead god to her former seat in the pantheon as well as destroy the life of the mage who murdered her in the first place.

Goddess of Anguish (Sandhya): moors cat fractae. Grew up on a tiny island off the coast of Naam. During a raid between her's and another tribe, Sandhya was captured by the enemy, killed, and her fingers were cut off as a trophy. While dead, she somehow grew a second pair of arms to replace the first, and she was ressurected as the goddess of anguish and torture by Lorcan. Sandhya retains her first pair of arms, believing that two pairs make her look more terrifying. Pronounced “Sahnd-yah”.

Goddess of Death (Anubis): black jackal fractae. Anubis is the younger sister of Lycanthros. Although she is a relatively young goddess, Anubis’ power exceeds that of Lorcan’s. Anubis is a shy goddess who prefers not to use her powers, spending the majority of her days idolizing her brother and his ability to create life. Anubis puzzles over the mystery as to why she must always take away the life her older brother works to create.

God of Fertility (Lycanthros): white jackal fractae. Lycanthros is the older brother of Anubis. He is one of two primary fertility deities on Terra Nova, and works constantly to weave new souls and bodies for newborn and elder souls alike to inhabit. He seems not the least bit angered by his sister’s duty to slay the lives he forges; after all, there would be no death without life beforehand, and life would be nothing without the inevitability of death.

Goddess of Fertility (Yifshaii): gray rabbit fractae. One of two primary fertility deities on Terra Nova. Pronounced “YEE-shy”.

Fallen Angels:
While not gods persay, the fallen angels of Terra Nova still hold power over the lesser members of the population. Fallen angels were once seraph elementals who were thrown from the astral plane they once resided in. Unable to return to the astral plane, the fallen angels become wraith-like prophets and wishmongers, and only desire to strike terror in the minds of those who view them.

Lamiya: white lioness fractae. Lamiya was thrown from the astral plane when she fell in love with an incubus and began to wreak havoc in the physical plane. The gods in turn killed her lover and tore one of the wings from her back, thus barring her from the astral plane forever. In the physical plane, Lamiya began to age rapidly until she became nothing more than a hag-like beast with the lower body of a serpent. She now resides in a town outside Dralost and acts as a prophet.
