The Sword Of Bheleu tlod-3
Page 27
BHELEU: God of chaos and destruction, ranked second among the Lords of Dыs. Bheleu is worshipped only by a very few people since Garth's killing of his Dыsarran cultists, mostly the more deranged and violent lords and warriors.
DAGHA: In a class by himself/herself/itself, Dagha is the god of time and the creator of the Lords of Eir and Dыs. Dagha is the only deity not assigned a gender, though he is customarily referred to in the masculine form for the sake of convenience. Believed to be above all mundane concerns, Dagha is not worshipped or prayed to.
DUS, LORDS OF: The dark gods: Tema, Andhur Regvos, Sai, Aghad, P'hul, Bheleu, and The God Whose Name Is Not Spoken.
EIR, LORDS OF: The gods of light: Amera, Leuk, Gan, Pria, Bel Vala, Aal, and Ayvi.
EKNISSA: Arkhein goddess of fire, worshipped mostly by barbaric tribesmen.
ERAMMA: The Arkhein earth-mother goddess, for whom the Kingdom of Eramma was named, since the kingdom's founders intended it to take in all the world, a goal that it never came close to achieving. The worship of Eramma is considered old-fashioned, but still lingers among farming folk.
GAU: Fifth among the Lords of Eir, Gau is goddess of joy and pleasure in all its forms, including eating, sex, and strong drink, as well as the less earthly delights of humor and good company. Worshipped everywhere, in various and sundry ways.
GOD WHOSE NAME IS NOT SPOKEN, THE: This term is used to refer to the first of the Lords of Dыs, the god of death. He does have a name, known to a very few, but it is popularly believed that any person speaking the name aloud will die instantly. He is sometimes referred to simply as Death. He is not worshipped, but shunned everywhere, feared even by the caretakers of his temple in Dыsarra. Various circumlocutions are used to avoid mentioning him; he is known as the Final God, the Death-God, and other such things.
KEWERRO: A very ancient Arkhein god identified with storms and the north wind. Placatory sacrifices are common, but he has no real worshippers.
KOROS: Arkhein god of war, strife, and battle, often considered to be Bheleu's son and servant. Worshipped by the more fanatical soldiers and warriors.
LEUK: Sixth of the Lords of Eir, Leuk is the god of light, color, and insight.
MELLITH: Arkhein goddess of lightning.
MORI: Arkhein god of the sea, worshipped by sailors everywhere. The Sea of Mori is believed to be the god's particular home.
P'HUL: Third among the Lords of Dыs, P'hul is the goddess of decay, disease, and age. She is worshipped only by her small cult in Dыsarra, but is widely prayed to in hopes of warding off her touch.
PRIA: Fourth among the Lords of Eir, Pria is the goddess of love, friendship, and peace, and of beneficial emotions generally, the exact opposite and counterpart to Aghad. She is one of the most popular deities.
REGVOS: The more popular of the two aspects of Andhur Regvos, sixth Lord of Des, Regvos is the god of blindness, ignorance, stupidity, and folly.
SAI: Fifth among the Lords of Dыs, Sai is the goddess of pain and suffering. Where her brother Aghad dominates the actively negative emotions, Sai is the ruler of the passively negative: despair, sorrow, acquiescence, masochism. She is secretly worshipped by those with a sadistic streak throughout the world, since physical pain is within her province.
SAVEL SKAI: Arkhein god of the sun; the name means "the bright shining one." Popular to swear by, but not seriously worshipped by civilized people.
SNEG: Sneg is god of the winter, one of the four Arkhein falling into the subcategory of Yaroi, or gods of the seasons. He is worshipped only by those who depend upon him, such as ice-cutters.
SIM: Arkhein god of cold, usually closely associated with Sneg.
TEMA: Seventh of the Lords of Dыs, Tema is the goddess of the night and its creatures. She is the patroness of most of the population of Dыsarra and much of the rest of Nekutta as well.
WEIDA: Arkhein goddess of wisdom, Weida is worshipped by scholars and seers everywhere.
