The Pantheon

Nature stands below, holding the Staff. Fate floats above holding it. The Gods of light and darkness chase each other around the table. The Gods are stars and constellations in the sky, but there are no constellations in winter.

One of the more wild theories is that one there existed Winter Gods, but Voraci and Malkis slew them while the other gods had their backs turned. This would explain a void in the sky during the winter months that otherwise is a mystery.

Name	Domain	Gender	Notes
Chis	Beauty/Grace	Female	Appearances matter. In order to show the world their best side, one must rise above their primal instincts and refine their actions and appearance. Sloppiness and slobbiness are the ugly traits of lazy people. Know who or what you need to be, and be that. Be exact. Be precise. Be graceful. Chis looks different to everybody. No two statues of her are the same, as the artists each see her differently. She can be calming one moment, and hot tempered the next.
Jexel	Luck/Wine	Male	Why be sober when you can be drunk? Why leave someone in peace when you can have fun with them? There is fun to be had at the expense of yourself and others so go out there and seize it! Only a fool takes themselves seriously. Fortune favors the bold and the carefree. When you have a positive outlook on life, you will always be lucky. A trickster and prankster who rarely stands still. The stars of his constellation twinkle more than those of any other god.

Live passionately or what is the point of living. Sister to Nerual, although often at odds with the her. Nerual thought the bringing Reluna and Efra together would tame Reluna’s wild swings so she caused them to fall in love. Instead, Efra slipped into Reluna’s chaos.

Velmontarious	Justice	Male	Ordered Neutral	Astari & Tempos	Shades of gray are made up of patches of light and dark. Right and wrong are absolutes, and can only be judged from a seat of dispassion. You may not like it at times, but justice is the path and the price of a goodly world.
Velthara	Vengeance	Female	Chaotic Neutral	Malkis & Tempos	Right and wrong are too abstract to be constants. Only you are capable of judging the two. A wrong has only been righted when you feel it in your soul. More often than not, you must take justice into your own hands if you wish it to be done.
Womaatoar	Joy	Male	Neutral Good	Martha & Tempos	What purpose does life have? Eventually we all die, eventually we are forgotten, eventually everything we make is destroyed.
