The world was made by the Godtitans, and it was from them that life was born as well. The Godtitans gave away their immortality to bring life to the world, and thus all of them have long since vanished from the world. Due to the worshippers of Destr, the worship of the remaining Titangods remains in place today as the predominate form of worship. However, the Titan's reign over their domain remains strong. As Oeth decreed, even in death the Titan's would control their domains. This phenomena occurs by the means of Gods. Gods are the second and beyond generation of rulers of a domain. They can be born of any race, and tend to live much longer than normal for that race. Typically, it is the distant children of a Titan that becomes a God, but there have been exceptions.
Gods can be identified easily. Their maturation rate is as much as 5 times faster than normal and have unusual powers associated to their domain. They also have physical markings on their bodies that brand them to what Titans they stem from. Some Gods are the product of two or more Titans. Normally, this happens when the children of one Titan has children with the child of another Titan, but in some rare instances the mere energy of a Titan's domain is enough to influence a child. There are 8 Godtitans and 10 Throne Gods, which are the most powerful and prevalent of the Gods. Along with the primary Gods, there are many more secondary Gods and countless lesser Gods. Primary Gods are the first generation Gods, those who typically control the majority of a domain, with the exception of Greater Gods. Secondary Gods control one major part of a domain, and lesser Gods control specific parts of a domain. For example, Osa is the Goddess of the Sea, which covers the majority of Seath's domain. This makes her a Primary god. Tullent is the God of Lakes, making him a secondary God along with his brother Lokil, God of Rivers. On the other hand, Othentir is the God of the River of Life specifically, making him a lesser God. The distinguishment of the Gods relates only to the amount of the domain they control, not inherently their power. Of the Gods of Seath mentioned above, Othentir is noted as being the strongest, despite only having control over his river.
The Gods associated with a domain are collectively referred to as Gods of that domain. For example, all the Gods associated with Giar's domain are called Gods of Gair. There is an exception to this, which is when a God has control over two domain. These Gods are called Greater Gods. Not only do they control parts of two separate domains, they often control several parts of a domain. More often than not, a Greater God controls more of both domains than either of the Primary Gods of that domain does. Greater Gods may also have claim to their own domains, something entirely separate from what the Titan's controlled. A prime example of this would be the very first God, Aesch, God of Death and Divination.
There are 8 Godtitans worshipped in Eisotir.
Jogrrson, the Titan of Light
Jogrrson is the first son of the Jogr, and the creator of light. He was the first to experiment with the Primordial Energy, and is often associated with scholars and scientists. His domain covers the Light of Knowledge, the Warmth of Comfort, and the Light of Life. Jogrrson was said to be somewhat introverted after the death of Eikrson, and preferred mostly to stay on his Islands of Light, where he researched the new world from above. He and his sister, Jogidottir, form the Siblings of Knowledge. It is said the only one who Jogrrson spoke to often was his sister, and vice versa. The only way to Jogidotti's domain is through Jogrrson's during an eclipse.
Eikr, the Titan of Magic
Eikr is the second son of Jogr, the one responsible for the death of Jogrrson. When he was cast into a pool of concentrated energy, he dispersed the energy across his family, creating the first hints of magic. He is associated with mages and artificers. Eikr was said to be incredibly caring before he was made to kill his brother, an action his son said would torment him for ages to come. Though Eikr never laid foot in it, his siblings created the Lay Tower to act as his domain in his honor. Only the titans were able to step foot in the purely concentrated area, and even now remains untouched by people.
Destr, the Titan of Flame
Destr is the third son of Jogr. It is said he was very selfless after his first death, willing to endure the pain of others so they wouldn't need too. He is associated with smiths, pyromancers, and general compassion. His domain extends the Flame of Life, the Fire of Creation, and the Melting of Burdens. Destr has no known domain, for he spent all his time with his sibling in an attempt to help them of any of their stress or pain. It is said Oeth made a domain for him inside his own domain since he died in his hands, but as no one has seen even Oeth's domain, it is little more than a rumor.
Seath, the Titan of Water
Seath is the fourth son of Jogr, the one responsible for silencing Jogr in their final battle. He is said to be somewhat temperamental, quick to anger and just as quick to apologize. His domain covers the ocean and rain, the Water of Soothing, the Tempests of Rage, and Flow of Life. His domain can be found in the deepest part of the ocean, and is said to be a sprawling city of coral.
Oeth, the Titanking of Silence
Oeth is the fifth son of Jogr, the one responsible for ending the reign of Jogr and working with his siblings to create the world. It is said he is always very calm and collected. After the death of Eikrson, he grew silent, wishing not to rule over the new beautiful world with an iron fist like his father. The sibling Titans touted Oeth as the true king of the Titans, and greatly respected his sacrifice of silence as well as his will to not abuse his power. Though he governs none of the energy domains, his domain covers Order and Natural Law. His domain is said to be outside of the planet, for he felt he had no reason to remain after his siblings died.
Jogidottir, the Titan of Dark
Jogidottir is the sixth child of Jogr, and his only daughter. She created the Eygthr Hvatvetna, the now forbidden Eyes of Everything, the greatest artifact in existence. She is said to be even more introverted than her eldest brother, and spoke exclusively with him. She isolated herself on her Island of Dark, where she studied the new natural phenomena and life. She, along with her eldest brother, from the Titan Siblings of Knowledge. Her domain covers the Void, Cold of Dark, and Shrouded Knowledge. Her domain exists on the Island of Dark, which can only be accessed through the Islands of Light during an eclipse.
Eikrson, the Titan of Life
Eikrson is the rebirth of Eikr, and the creator of the basic energies, as well as general life. He also created the bodies that Oeth used to revive Jogidottir and Jogrrson, and taught those two to create bodies that would lead to the creation of Aie and Giar. He is associated with healers and mortal life, as well as the cycle of life. He was said to be very giving and somewhat rebellious, to the point of his own death. His domain covers the Cycle of Life, The Breath of Life, and the Movement of Energy. His domain is located inside the core of the largest tree in the world.
Aie, the Titan of Air
Aie was created by Jogrrson to become the ruler of Air. She is said to be aloof and easygoing, and does what she can to help out the domains of the other Titans. She is associated with machineries and natural phenomena. Her domain covers the Breath of Life, the Movement of Energy, and Wind of Empower. Her domain is the entirety of the Floating Continent, above the Lay Tower, which has thus far remained wholly unexplored.
Gair, the Titan of Earth
Giar was created by Jogidottir to become the ruler of Earth. He is said to be stern and caring, and offered a foundation for all others to use to build themselves from. His domain covers the Foundation of Life, the Pillar of Strength, and the Embrace of Comfort. He is associated with fighters, builders, and leaders. His Domain is a large citadel in the peaks of the Hand of Giar, and is the easiest way to the Islands of Light.
Gods
There are 10 Throne Gods, who are Gods that control an obscure or seperate part of the Godtitan's domain and have been recognized as such. Of these thrones, 4 are Greater Gods, who are Gods born of two different domains and tend to control an exceptionally unique domian, usually in its entireity.
The first Throne God is Aesch, God of Death and Divination. He is the eldest of the Gods, and one of the longest lived being in existence, having been born a mere century after the Era of Life begun. His existence is entirely exceptional, not only is he a Greater God, but he also bears no parents. He was born fully grown on the night of an eclipse near the Lay Tower. His body bears the marks of Eikrson and Jogidottir, and it is believed he was born of the clashing energy between the two domains. He holds the seat of leader of the Gods, and is considered the most powerful.
The Second Throne is Typhon, God of Storms. He is also a Greater God, Born of Seath's domain and Aie's domain. His power lies most predominately in the sky, meaning his control over the water domain of the ground is lackluster, but second to none in the sky. He is often considered the second most powerful, though some say he is the single most destructive of the Gods.
The Third Throne is Osa, Goddess of the Sea. She is the first born of Seath's Gods, and is one of the more powerful Gods.
The Fourth Throne is Laliet, Goddess of Fertility. She is the second born of Giar's Gods, one of the few Gods who hold equal share to their sibling. Though her power isn't catastrophic, her blessings are extremely powerful granting her one of the more influential seats.
The Fifth Throne is Ragad, God of the Hearth. He is the First born of Destr's Gods, another of the rare Gods who were born from residual energy rather than bloodline. Ragad's power is much like Laliet's. His blessings bring protection and peace to villages and homes, making his a well respected, though sometimes overlooked, God. Also like Laliet, he holds the title of primary God with another God within Destr's domain.
The Sixth Throne is Aiet, God of Wisdom. He is the First born of Jogidottir's Gods. His power is subtle, but powerful. Blessings from Aiet often lead to revolutionary breakthroughs or exceptional plans. His wisdom makes him an exceptional strategist, granting him a well respected seat.
The Seventh Throne is Dulha, Goddess of the Flame. She is the Second born of Destr's Gods, and another of the Gods born from residual energy. Unlike Ragad, her power is much more associated with the raw energy and devastation associated with Destr's domain.
The Eight Throne is Ichor, God of the Wild. Ichor is a Greater God bearing the brand of Jogidottir and Eikrson, and is thus considered a direct brother to Aesch. Ichor was born of human parents, but again during an eclipse and close to the Lay Tower. Ichor's power is more subtle than his brother's, but his ability to command will of plant and animal alike, as well as being able to pierce through the mysteries of the unknown grant him a seat in the Thrones, though of all the Gods he is the least seen. His influence comes mostly from fear, due to his mysterious powers and who his brother is.
The Ninth Throne is Epoch, Goddess of Chaos. Epoch is a greater god bearing the brand of Destr and Giar. Her seat in the thrones is as much a way for the other gods to keep an eye on her as it is an position of respect for her power. She's unpredictable, coldhearted, and quick tempered.
The Tenth Throne is Laher, God of Love. Laher was born of Aie, and is often used as the peacekeeper and mediator in disputes. His blessing is unique, in that all couples seek it despite whoever their central God is. Through his blessing, couples are able to reach a deeper bond than otherwise possible.
