Legend
LIGHT MAGIC
Magic stemming from the five gods. Given to specific bloodlines upon their Awakening. Sustained through blood offerings to the Wielder’s respective god.
DARK MAGIC
Not bloodline-specific. Gifted by Loumallet from the Void itself.
Taxed through the keeper’s soul, paid for not with blood, but with essence.
The Gods
Flora Goddess of Land and Blood (Flo-ra)
This deity’s holy temple is located within Rimemere. Erriadin’s first god, born from a drop of sunshine falling from the skies.
A fair and kind god, with an ancient wrath if provoked.
Aquarene Goddess of Water and Wisdom (Aqua-Reen)
This deity’s holy temple is located within Rimemere. Erriadin’s second god, born from Flora’s tears. A pensive god, unyielding to excuses. Prefers her children to keep their bloodlines pure.
Winderlyn God of Wind and Justice (Win-dur-lyn)
This deity’s holy temple is located within Rimemere. Erriadin’s third god, born of Aquarene and Flora’s prayers. An impatient and finite god. Prefers blood offerings directly from the neck and shows no mercy for traitors.
Emberdon God of Fire and War (Em-ber-dohn)
This deity’s holy temple is located within Rimemere. Erriadin’s fourth god, born from Flora’s wrath at her defiant siblings. A temperamental god who requires regular blood offerings from his children. Known for the most brutal sort of light magic.
Warren God of Wards and Souls (War-ren)
This deity’s holy temple is located within Rimemere. Erriadin’s fifth god.
Origins unknown, much like his volatile magic.
Loumallet Keeper of Dark Magic (Low-ma-let)
