Deities

Deities are beings of immense power, who serve as the originators of magic and can seemingly manipulate reality to their will. There are only seven known deities in the world, divided into two factions.

The Sovereign
The Sovereign is a nameless, formless being who appears as a bright light to mortals, accompanied by a reverberating, disembodied voice. The Sovereign uses male pronouns for some inexplicable reason, and was directly responsible for the founding of Astrea and its Church.

All magical prayers are relayed to members of the Church through dreams and visions featuring the Sovereign.

It is unknown why the Sovereign wants Astreans to obey strict laws and teach its doctrine, but He seems to be related to both the Realm of Order and Realm of Chaos somehow, as the standard for whether someone can enter each realm after death is depending on whether they are in His favor.

The Six Gods
The Six Gods are a group of deities who self-proclaimed to be the Sovereign's siblings, and were directly responsible for the founding of Miasmia. The Six Gods never named themselves, and often appeared as regular-looking mortals on their regular patrols to observe mortal activities in an attempt to stop Miasmians from worshipping them. The list of six gods are as follows:


 * 1) The Stallion: A god who often appears as black-furred, male horsefolk, and is often accompanied by dark, gloomy weather. He is known for being confident yet polite, with a strange tendency to tell jokes.
 * 2) The Wolf: A goddess who often appears as a female wolfkin, and dressed in a suit of armor that seems to weigh nothing. She is known for sounding and looking tired, yet constantly seeking exciting events.
 * 3) The Swan: A god who often appears as a male swanfolk, and wearing massive blue robes. He is known to obsessively take notes of things, even mundane occurrences, and explain simple concepts using long words.
 * 4) The Fox: A goddess who often appears as a pale, female foxkin in revealing clothes. She is known to be sociable and flirtatious, even to complete strangers, and sometimes appearing pregnant with no disenable father.
 * 5) The Hyena: A goddess who often appear as a female hyenafolk in regal-looking clothes. She can often be found in casinos, and spends large amounts of time calculating probability and chance.as she plays
 * 6) The Spider: A goddess who resembles a common, non-sapient spider, but is in fact a deity due to the fact that she cannot be killed. She is completely silent and nothing about her personality is known.
