Northern
Gods
Followers of the
northern gods can mostly be found in Le'Eran, the
northern continent. See
map.
Suitachi (su-E-tah-chee)
<image>
Type: primary
cardinal god
Gender: male
Direction: north
Animal: dragon
Element: air
Metal: silver
Represents: prophesy, dreams, truth, neutrality
Symbol: lantern, moon
Patron: philosophers, monks, pacifists
Suitachi is the
oldest of the gods, and therefore their unofficial
leader. Above all the other cardinal gods, he seems to
have the most wits about him. He is also the closest
of all others to the Zethar, the high angels. Sui's
season is spring, the beginning of the year for the
Altae calendar. Naturally, it is traditional to have a
celebration in his honor on the new year.
Yes, I do
realize that suitachi means "first" in
Japanese.
Taishou (tahE-show)
<image>
Type: secondary
god
Gender: male
Direction: north
Animal: bat
Element: electricity
Color: yellow
Represents: writing, travel, communication
Symbol: scroll, road
Patron: scribes, intellectuals, travelers
Taishou is the only
god whose common form is that of a child. He is the
big intellectual of the all gods, and their official
note keeper. It is said that he is the inventor of the
written word. Taishou is said to have a horde of small
animals, mostly birds, some lesser wyverns and drakes,
at his command to send messages. He is often depicted
as a human boy with a staff, accompanied by song
birds.
I hate drawing
bat-feet. Taishou's a god. He can have normal looking
feet if he wants.
Reáleigh (re-AH-lee)
<image>
Type: secondary
god
Gender: female
Direction: north
Animal: praying mantis
Element: air
Color: white
Represents: trickery, disguise
Symbol: mask
Patron: thieves, actors
Reáleigh is
never seen in her beast-form. She is the least sane of
the gods and rather enjoys wandering around in
different forms, playing tricks on the masses. She
thoroughly enjoys the theater, seeing people pretend
they're someone else and all. Even though Reah has
become the official patron of actors, she will do
little in their favor. (Then again, she'll do little
against their favor, which is good.) Reah has a great
love for masks and will usually be seen around wearing
one from her vast collection. She is often accompanied
by her favorite mask, her creation Baelae, even though
he is not a mantis. (rather he's some pointy feline
saber-toothed cat-demon looking thing.)
I know it sounds
like it, but Reáleigh's name has nothing to do
with the city Raleigh. Her name is actually based off
of the word, "reah," which is the word for "air" or
"wind" in Krei, a language I made up way-back-when.
Baelae
(bay-lay)
<image>
Baelae is one of
Reáleigh's children and is considered a minor
god. (child being a creation, not necessarily
offspring.) Usually, Baelae looks like a nasty looking
mask carved out of a red wood, but he has the ability
to turn into any kind of decapitated head he wishes.
(Blame on his mum. )
