Gods of Shadow
Caesia, Keeper of Balance
Symbol: Scale
Colors: Grey
Influence over: Balance of Light and Dark
Avatar: A human woman with shoulder-length black hair and pale white skin, found
anywhere from a street brawl to a major war, usually as an apparently apathetic
observer.
History: Only daughter of Mardis and Oronar, Caesia maintains the balance of power
between her two cousins, Aeris and Raiff, by tempering the shifting of power in the
Realm itself. As one of the three prominent gods, she is honored by all those who are of
Neutral alignment. The number of temples dedicated to her far surpass those of her
cousins.
Callis, the Enchantress
Symbol: Grey orb
Colors: Grey
Influence over: Grey Magic
Avatar: Female human with salt and pepper hair, grey mage robes and stormy grey eyes.
History: Only daughter of Gitanel and Cael's triplets, Callis is the goddess of Grey Magic.
Her Order fo the Grey Robes is the most highly attended, as its members are able to
practice not only neutral magic, but certain spells belonging to Light and Dark magic as
well. Callis believes that her mages should not be limited by the restrictions of the other
Orders, leaving them free to exercise thier judgement and free will. Callis contents herself
to watch her followers without getting involved. It is rare that she appears in her avatar
form, preferring the more direct approach of telepathy.
Gitanel, the Mystic
Symbol: Open hand
Colors: White, grey, and black
Influence over: Fate
Avatar: an elderly human, man or woman, who dresses eccentrically, much like a gypsy.
History: Eldest son of Aeris and Caesia, Gitanel is the god of Fate. It is he who decides the
course peoples lives shall take; from their moment of birth to the manner and time when
they die. In this way he helps to guide the course of history to some small degree, but is
considerably restricted by the free will of mortals. His followers range over many
cultures and classes but those best known for honoring him are the gypsies and other
fortunetellers. While many of these people claim that their readings are divinely inspired,
only a handful of them actually are. Gitanel is extremely secretive about his plans.
Tayln, the Huntsman
Symbol: Arrow
Colors: Green and brown
Influence over: the Hunt and animals
Avatar: Male elf in brown and green hunting garb with a bow and arrows.
History: Son of Aidan and Niya, Tayln is the god of the Hunt. He is primarily worshipped
by the elves and bestial races, although he is also popular among humans, especially
barbarians. Tayln's concerns lie with the animals of Lithrah, rather than the people. He
takes after both of his parents as it is his duty to to protect nature. It is customary to pray
to him for guidance before embarking on a hunt. Those who do not do so find it nearly
impossible to come across their quarry. Tayln sees to it that the animals he allows to be
killed are elderly or sickly, thus ensuring the health of those remaining.
Linca, the Healing Touch
Symbol: Infinity
Colors: White and pale blue
Influence over: Healing
Avatar: A female cleric of any race dressed in pale blue robes.
History: The daughter of Aidan and Niya, Linca is the goddess of health and healing. She
spends little time on Lithrah, preferring to watch over her people, rather than interact
with them. The majority of her followers choose to become clerics so that they can help
to spread Linca's gift of healing throughout the realm. While many of the clerics of other
gods may also possess powers of healing, Linca's healers are the most powerful and are
highly revered. No army and very few cities are without at least one of her followers.
Cael, the Sword of Justice
Symbol: Sapphire staff
Colors: Black and white
Influence over: Justice
Avatar: A female high priestess or prominent male knight or lord of any race, who always
wields emmense power and authority over her people.
History: The eldest daughter of Aeris and Caesia, Cael is the goddess of Justice. She is
primarily worshipped by those of a neutral alignment and then most often among the
upper class. Knights of many different orders are known to pay her homage, as well as
many politicians. Cael ensures that justice is served when mortals are encapable of doing
so for themselves.
Aidan, the Steel Warrior
Symbol: Shield
Colors: Gold and silver
Influence over: Protection
Avatar: A male warrior of any race
History: Only child of Aeris and Aryna, Aidan is the god of Protection and honorable
combat. His followers consist mainly of knights and paladins, but he is also honored by
warriors, mercenaries, and the occasional assassin. However, his influence extends past
warfare to protect mortals in virtually any situation. Aidan attracts one of the widest
ranges of followers compared to his fellow gods, his neutral alignment and offer of help
to any who ask making him very accessible to the people. He is kept extremely busy by
his obligations and therefore spends much of his time among mortals.
