Immortals

Primordial deities

The Primordials, also known as the Demiurges or the Universal Creators, were the first generation of deities that preceded the imminent rule of Aur and the creation of the Earth. They all dwelled in the Twilight Land, a region beyond spacetime that encompassed a sort of spherical mass surrounding the universe. Each one of them had power over the three cardinal points of the universe, known to the Scrye as Ennition, Apeadolon, and Jiocrughar.

Example	The First All-Father One of the primordial gods that formed in the Beginning Place. He ruled the universe before Arihan, and after engaging the Screaming Ones in a fierce war, came out victorious and led the first humans into the light of the Kingdom of Heaven. The First All-Father was one of three demiurges, or supreme gods, besides the dragon goddess of purity and goodness, Oghru, and Dysorith, the monstrous god of evil, destruction, and chaos and leader of the Waalkya. According to one story, after a long period of peace, the Waalkya returned, and destroyed the Kingdom of Heaven and all who inhabited it, including the First All-Father. Eventually, his son, Aur, managed to seal and destroy the portal in which they were coming through, scattering the remains in different parts of the universe. The First All-Father’s essence became different stars and galaxies. Although he has since been destroyed, some say that his essence is still around, forever a transcendent and incorporeal part of humanity and warding off any danger that may threaten them.
Example	Oghru Primordial dragon goddess of goodness, purity, excellence, and righteousness. She was born in the Beginning Place as one of three demiurges, or supreme gods, besides the First All-Father and Dysorith, the monstrous god of evil, destruction, and chaos and leader of the Waalkya. She is the root of all goodness and peace in the material world. During the war between the Waalkya and the Kingdom of Heaven, Oghru joined after the death of the First All-Father, and helped turn the tide of the battle with Aur. Although they were eventually victorious, she was distraught at the death of her lifelong friend and companion, she went into hiding, not being seen or heard of for thousands of years.
Example	Dysorith Also known as the Crooked One, Tragic Eyes, Catastrophe Black, and Maneater, Dysorith is the root of all evil, all sin, lust, greed, power, and vice. He is the source of all the negative emotions and destructive forces in the universe and in the human realm. Dysorith has an insatiable appetite for death and destruction. He is also the leader of the Waalkya, monstrous entities that ruled the universe before the time of the First All-Father and Aur. He was ultimately defeated in the first Heavenly War, and his essence was scattered by Aur throughout the universe to prevent him from ever reforming again. Although he no longer has a physical form, some say they still hear his voice, tempting those who follow him to commit heinous acts of violence and crime, to denounce the Scrye Gods, and to corrupt mankind by leading them to commit all manner of evil.

Etherian Tribe

The Etherian Tribe of Scrye Gods refers to the collection of deities that are under the rule of Aur. Their name refers to their abode, the Ether. Many houses, temples, and other public areas house the statue of a god or goddess, or multiple deities, and might be decorated with relief scenes depicting stories from religious texts.

Example	Aur Second All-Father of the Etherian Tribe, and god of the skies and the heavens, the north, rulership, divination, fatherhood, sorcery, war, and strife. He is the husband of the goddess Sasa, and the father of the twins Asriel and Reginn. Before he claimed rulership over the cosmos, he was an agent subservient to the First All-Father, some say his greatest creation. He fought bravely during the first Heavenly War, managing to defeat Dysorith and the Waalkya with the help of both the dragon goddess Oghru and his newly crafted weapon, the Soulsiphon, Last Stand of Lost Comrade. Aur took his father’s place as the ruler of the gods and the universe, and has led the gods in Ether for many years. He is an old, hardened man with a long white beard. His usual attributes are the cloak and the spear. His sacred animals include the crow, the wolf, and dragon. His other name is Aratus, also known as Aris.
Example	Sasa Queen of the Gods and Mother to All, and the goddess of the protection of young mothers, of pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, family, home, and the state. She is the wife of Aur, and the mother of the twins Asriel and Reginn. In Geclyae, she has nearly a dozen different cults, some devoted to women and young mothers. Newlyweds pray to her for a successful marriage, and mothers pray for a healthy baby. She is depicted as a regal woman in the prime of her life, wearing a crown and veil and holding a staff. Her sacred animals include the finch, lovebird, and the cat.
Example	Asriel God of sacral kingship, brotherhood, virility, peace and prosperity, sunshine, fair weather, and good harvest. Asriel was also responsible for protecting livestock and presided over the spheres associated with fertility, music, luck, and charity. He is depicted as a young bearded man covered in a white veil. In stories, he was a preacher of salvation and eternal life. He is often accompanied by his sister Reginn. His most famous temple is in Treyan, where he established his order. His signs and symbols include the royal scepter, books, the feather, and the wreath. His sacred animals include deer, swans, and mice.
Example	Reginn Goddess of princesses, virtue, elegance, handicrafts, young girls, and health and plague in women and childhood. She is the daughter of Arihan and Mirana, and the twin brother of Asriel. She is often depicted as a young woman clothed in a modest dress and equipped with a royal scepter. Her attributes include tiaras, feathers, strawberry, and cypresses. Her sacred animal is the hummingbird.
Example	Kir God of the Moon. A longstanding tradition in Scryeland holds that he was banished to the Moon for some crime. A single fragment in an 15th century poem name Oeyr as the Wanderer, forever doomed to circle the Earth by Aur. He is portrayed as a white-haired man with a long cloak, a lunar staff that is able to morph into a sword, and skin “white as snow”. He also has his own cult-icon as an image of a moon with the lunar-disk behind it. His relationship with Voldea (the Sun) is contentious and strained. The Moon may represent the unknown, the dark side of things, the unknown to the Sun, but a symbol of change. The Moon is the most mysterious, least understood of the three; it is the largest in relation to the Sun and Anteria.
Example	Shaerra Goddess of the Sun, as well as daytime, heat, light, pleasure, good times, and wealth. In the beginning of time, when the cosmos were being created, so too was the goddess Shaerra, brought into the universe along with her equivalent, Kir. Initially, the role of the siblings wasn’t clear, but after they created daytime and night, and also the phases of the moon, Shaerra and her brother were assigned their destiny. At a meeting of the existing gods, Shaerra was anointed the goddess of the sun, and Kir god of the moon. Although her relationship with Kir is complicated and often conflicted, it is through their union that both the night and day were created.
Example	Theron God of empirical time, fate, memory, history, and destiny. In recent centuries, he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (which represents time's constant one-way movement, and more generally and abstractly, entropy). He was responsible for shaping the course of human destinies. An unpredictable deity, it was said he would manifest and visit a newborn child in order to determine its future. He could be malevolent or benevolent: the former causing tragic events in the world while the latter were kind and protective.
Example	Dyos Ruler of Xabyss (also known as the Dread Kingdom, the Nether Plane, and the Rotten Ground). One of two gods of the dead and the afterlife who receives evil and wicked souls and subjects them to eternal torment. A shadowy figure, Dyos stood at or near the beginning of creation and fathered other personified deities such as Bhalo (terror and fear), Saek (sadness), Mes (pain and hurt), Sikothiu (madness and insanity), Werwec (death), and Besdi (loneliness and separation). Dyos is typically portrayed as a dark and solemn figure holding an obsidian sword with his creations standing to his side.
