Cnuic na Sidhe
Aria
A goddess of song, she is the entertainer of the Cnuic na Sidhe. She is also Goddess of Poisons, and the herbalist of the Fae Gods. Her followers are usually those with two masks. Brilliant souls with a smile to spare as they tip something dangerous in your drink. Her allies include Persimmon and her brother Taglio. She is the Patron of bards, lost souls, and herbalists. Assassins who dabble in poisons will also find her with a kind heart.
Persimmon
Persimmon is the King of the Mice and Small Animals. All small animals are in his domain, and thus, his strength is in their ferocious numbers. He is said to have the ears and face of a mouse, and the body of a large raccoon. Scavengers of all races, even the humans, come to Persimmon as he is their King. He vindicates Glory and Honour, yet most of his worshippers are thieves and scavengers... yet they have a sense of honor, you could say. A tricky God, you never know exactly where his alliance lies.
(This includes all animals up to the size of a Fox, as well as insects.)
Lucia
Insanity is this Goddesses' domain. All things that induce it as well. Too much wine, grief, distress, tragedy, and sorrow are Lucia's trademarks, and her name is merely uttered by those who worship her. No one else dares to call her by the name Lucia, fearing they will invoke her wrath. Thus, she is called "The Grief Banshee", for her trademark of howling at the death of a God or Goddess. She is characterized by her bleeding bone wings, and her bleeding, crying eyes. Neither spirit nor alive, she is seen as the Goddess that inhabits that which neither is nor that which will be.
Shangri
The Patron Goddess of sex, passion, wishes, and love, Shangri inhabits all of that which brings pleasure. She birthed the Earth and the Stars from a Dragon's Egg, fertilized by Grotteschi The Red. Her worshippers constantly seek pleasure, and as such, are usually seen with very little clothing. The other Gods/Goddesses don't take her very seriously, needless to say, and she stays out of just about everything. However, if you track her down, it's said she grants you one wish.
Were-Owl
Neutrality and burtality are the Owl's domains. He has no simple name, a shapeshifter called by all as the Were-Owl. He takes human lovers, and his children are shapeshifters as well as he, birthing a specific race of people. He is also the God of Wisdom and Knowing, but as such, he does not speak. Only those who earn a favor from him may ask him one question and hear the answer to it.
Prahi Ta
The spirits of Marrow, the City of Desolation, who steal away all that is precious in life. They steal away apples and jewels, people and souls. They steal away anything they can get ahold of. They can steal facial expressions and even emotions. They have one form, but it is ever-changing. Death translates them into what it will, they are the Prahi Ta. Those who have passed thru.
Solace
Sorrow's Goddess sister, she is the Goddess of Illumination, and Knowledge. Portrayed as a beautiful but hairless woman, she has eight eyes and ears and hears every secret whispered. She wears an intricate outfit of bones from an ancient monster that her riddles slayed. She speaks only in riddles, after all. She has eight different types of wings, some on her ankles and some of her wrists, and one set between her shoulder blades. It represents the flight of all knowledge, even the darkest kind.
Sorrow
The Goddess of Storytellers, it is said she tells of cinnamon and cities long forgotten. It is said she tells of things so beautiful that the stars themselves strain to hear. Her symbol is the mirror, a rectangular piece that shows all the great olden stories of the world. She is the Patron of Historians and Storytellers.
Manticore
The great Manticore is a vicious beast and it is said the God of all things that know the secrets to the world, including the other Gods and Goddesses of the Cnuic na Sidhe! Seen as an All-God figure, he is neither good nor evil.
Taglio
A man-eating goatman who tricks travelers with Illusions, Taglio was given godliness by the God Manticore for his domain of trickery. He is the God you want to avoid, as he is maliciously evil in a playful way. Watch your campanions, because when Taglio is around, one may just vanish!
Aut'run
Grotteschi The Red
"In the beginning there was dust, and in the end there will be dust." Grotteschi is the substance of all possible things. It is said he was blood and life, a fine warrior that had conquered the very black lands of the world and then birthed the first egg. His great echoing roar made the mountains and the ravines, and his great tears made the oceans and lakes. A large, flaming dragon warrior, he is as honored as Manticore, even moreso. While Manticore is the All-God, Grotteschi The Red is the creator. His lands are the deserts, though appearing dead to life, yet hiding the life away, ferocious predators to consume the stupid.
Ember Queen
In the city of Kash, there are six palaces, six thrones, and six crowns. Three queens and three kings there are. The Ember Queen is the Queen of Wishes.
Ash Queen
The Ash Queen is the second Queen, sister through blood to the Ember Queen. The Ash Queen controls the city of Kash, but divine blood runs through her vein. It is said her followers practice magic with blood and fire, a devestating combo.
Kashkash
The djin and the creator of the city of Kash, the other djins grew jealous of his flaming fire of creation, and the Ember and Ash Queens slowly snuck it away into the night. The most you'll find of him nowadays is a broken old God-man, muttering about old descrepencies.
Firebird
A beautiful raging phoenix, the Firebird represents the circle of creative powers that exist in the universe. He was born from The Ash and Ember Queens when they snuck away the fire of Creation from Kashkash, and now the Firebird is a divine spark. Wherever the Firebird goes, there are things born.
Runak
A dragon god, Runak gaurds his vast wealth of knowledge in the form of his Raven Library. It is said you can find the answer to anything within the halls of his Library, which sits on the edge of the City of Marrow. However, to do this, you must pay him a tithe. You owe him something. It is never good to owe a God something.
Zmeya
A Goddess of Snakes and Reptiles, she is the consort of Persimmon, and the two are so vastly different that it is hard to comprehend it. Zmeya uses trickery to get what she wants. Her consort and her are on rather disagreeable terms most of the time. It is best to steer clear of Zmeya and her followers, who are usually seen in the company of a reptile.
Tus'un
Casimira
She's a cynical, judgment Goddess. She is blind to emotions, and sees only the destruction and secrets caused by humanity, as she judges those dead souls so the other gods cannot be partial to them, thus thwarting the Universe's balance. Her name is Casimira, and she lives in the city Palimpsest, the Dark God Ulric's city.
Eshkol
A selkie from the sea, Eshkol fell in love with an old Sea God who she followed around relentlessly. When he perished in a great War with the Gods, she was granted the power over his domain and the creatures that lived there. She became a hybrid of Kheran and Selkie, a beautiful, mysterious Lady of the Sea. Sailors and those who depend on life at sea worship her.
Sigrid
The Weaver of all Fates, Sigrid weaves threads into a large tapestry that is everlasting and shows the entire world history. Often, Sorrow is seen with her. She is portrayed as a young, blind woman who weaves endlessly, happy with her home. Persimmon offers his assistance for threads that need to be cut, ending lives of some, with his viceroy rats.
Asrar
The Dryad Goddess of Ha'ale, she married a human sailor from the world beyond the Veil and left her powers behind to love him, in Ha'ale. When he came to the Veil, he happened to pass away. Asrar carried his child, but the Prahi Tah stole away her child when he was born and she passed into the afterlife in grief. The Forest of Ha'ale became bare afterward.
