Litcht/Religion

Litcht Polytheism is a widespread religious belief within Litcht and Pir Nicea. Much of it's pantheon and myths are shared with related religions, such as Rammazrian Paganism.

Alexia
Goddess of the Hunt and of Combat

Sister to Eskalib, Alexia 's powers and focus often overlap with his. While they often knock heads, they work together in times of need. Alexia is often portrayed as an armored helmetless female warrior with a mystical warhammer capable of changing shape and size to any weapon she chooses. During hunting season, the warhammer forged by her father, Hunn, often takes the form of a bow and a quiver of limitless arrows. Like most of Litcht's deities, Alexia has been said to sometimes walk the Earth. She, along with her brother, are the children of Sihd and Kleo.

Eskalib
God of War and of Strategy

As Alexia's younger brother, Eskalib is often treated second to her, and is often ignored during times of peace. He is known as the the most brilliant tactician, and is prayed to by marshals for insight. Unlike his older sister, he is said to rarely walk among mortals. Instead, his followers speak of seeing him in visions and dreams, generally providing tactical insight in the form of riddles, imagery, or symbolism. His appearance often changes, although scholars have agreed upon the description of a young man, visually strong and healthy, often clad from head to toe in various forms of armor. He is the son of Sihd and Kleo.

Harper
Goddess of the Sky and of the Heavens

She is the mother of the twins, Kleo and Nova.

Jan
Goddess of Fire

She is the daughter of Sihd and Nova.

Kleo
Goddess of the Moon and of the Night

Like Nova, Kleo is the daughter of Leoni and Harper. While with Sihd, she gave birth to both Alexia and Eskalib. She also conceived Kona while with Tarra.

Kona
Goddess of Water and of the Sea

She is the child of Kleo and Tarra.

Leoni
God of Balance and of Law

Leoni is the closest to a central king deity in the Litcht pantheon. He was the first of the original three gods created by the colossi and has responsibility over maintaining balance across all things. He is the father of Tarra, Kleo, Nova, and Sihd.

Nova
Goddess of the Sun and of the Day

She, like Kleo, is the daughter of Leoni and Harper. While with Sihd, she conceived Jan. With Tarra, she gave birth to Pieth, Rokah, and Zel.

Pieth
Goddess of Nature and of Agriculture

As the daughter of Nova and Tarra, Pieth is the younger sister to Rokah and Zel.

Rokah
God of Soil and of Stone

He is the son of Nova and Tarra, and the oldest brother of Zel and Pieth.

Sihd
God of Metal and of Progress

As the son of Leoni and Viola, Sihd is the younger brother of Tarra. He takes the appearance of a muscular blacksmith, with an apron of gold and his body made of steel. His hammer, Yaris, has been said to change weight as Sihd requires, and thus cannot be wielded by a mortal. The “Hammer in the Rock” in the center of Pride is stated to have been smelted by Sihd himself, and the gold that used to back Litcht’s currency was a blessing from him and his mother, Viola. When he was with Nova, he fathered Jan. With Kleo, he fathered Alexia and Eskalib, the former of which he gifted the mighty warhammer Hunn.

Tarra
God of the Land and of Life

Tarra is the son of Leoni and Viola, and the older brother of Sihd. He is the first god to be born from another god. He is the father of Rokah, Zel, and Pieth, all of which he conceived with Nova. He is also the father of Kona.

Viola
Goddess of Riches and of the Underworld

Viola is one of the original three gods, created by the colossi. She was the disciple of Selucus, and took his place as the master of the darkness, representation of chaos and of the unknown. While she herself does not wish destruction or harm onto others, she acknowledges it as her responsibility. Because of this, she is the goddess of the underworld. She often walks among mortals, and has a major cult following, despite it being against her own ideals. To try and make things right, she also possesses power over luck and fortune, and is the mother of Sihd, the god of progress. Unlike many other gods and goddesses, she often changes her appearance, as if a mortal were to lay eyes on her true form, they would be cursed.

Zel
God of Air and of Wind

He is the middle child of Nova and Tarra.
