Mehz-Qua
God of hunting, predators and prey, and darkness. He took the form of a hunched-over Siath’Kresh, usually of whatever tribe is telling the story, with bloodstained muzzle and claws. First-born of the young gods, and brother to Mehz-Tili. He preferred a mixture of wood, bone, and mud brick for his temples.
Mehz-Tili
God of astronomy, prophecy, the sun, and city-builders. She appeared as a serpent with night-black scales and golden glowing eyes, and was said to drape herself over the shoulders of her chosen ones. Fifth-born and youngest of the young gods. Her favored building material was a golden stone found in the western jungle hills.
Xiuh-Tec
God of fire, creation, and craftsmanship. He appeared as a voice in a fire, or echoing from the stone - I cannot recall a story where he appeared in the flesh, though he was said to live with the other gods. Fourth-born of the young gods. His favored building material was black basalt, found in the southern jungle near the cliffs.
Tlal-Toc
Goddess of wind, rain, storms, and the sea. She appeared as a bird of prey or as a flying serpent with dozens of fins propelling it through the air. Second-born of the young gods. She preferred her temples and shrines to be made of sandstone and driftwood.
Tlal-Cueh
God of earth, soil, and plants. He appeared as an enormous horned lizard-like creature made of wood and vines. Third-born of the young gods. He preferred mud brick, wood, and as much greenery as possible in his temples and shrines.
Xol
Goddess of death, decay, disease, and renewal. Appeared as a white lizard or serpent, sometimes with feathers and sometimes skeletally thin. Sister of Hue-Hue, and older than any god besides him. Her shrines were made of limestone or mud brick, overlain with bone in a variety of patterns.
Hue-Hue
God of trickery, cunning, fortune, wisdom, and karma. He took the form of a dog-like lizard with deep blue scales and black and yellow feathers on the spine, tail, neck frill, and elbows. Brother of Xol, and eldest of the pantheon - some sages believed that he is from an older pantheon, who came from another land or time to give birth to the gods the Siath’Kresh worshipped.
