Overview of the Major Gods

Article submitted to the Temple of Idikai by Joassak Veayr, in the year 47 of the Age of Knowledge, published in all consecutive volumes of the Encyclopedia Noreria.   Noreria has a Pantheon of five Major gods, and a host of lesser gods.  While the lesser gods are fascinating and subject to change, this article deals with the Major gods.     The Major gods were initially three, and born of the Parent Gods Xiex and Lut.  The three were Landrina and Aelousho, the twins, and The Fragmented, the younger.  Landrina and Aelousho are two sides of the same coin; light and dark, heat and cold.  The Fragmented was younger, taken care of by the siblings.        
Landrina is worshipped across all of Noreria, and temples can be found on every continent, in every major city.  She is the goddess of the sun and of all Life on Noreria, and the lesser gods Rynak of the Forge, Cham of the Harvest, and Flara of the Seasons are under her direct domain.  Her main temple is on the continent of Etora.      
Aelousho, the younger twin, is mostly worshipped on cold northern continent of Eiwevon, where winter lasts for most of the year. As the god of Night and the Dark, Winter, and Death, he is in charge of Sousha of the Sea and Cura of the Storms. His main temple is on Eiwevon.       The Fractured is never pictured, in the way that they are never named, out of respect for their sacrifice to keep the people of Noreria alive.  The destruction of the Parent Gods proved to be too much for The Fractured, and they subsequently split into three other gods.      
Idikai was the first of the three gods to form from The Fractured.  She represents the knowledge and wisdom it took to develop the plan The Fractured  had for the destruction of the Parent Gods.  She is the goddess of all Knowledge, and has temples across all Noreria, and her main temple is on the continent of Itenia.    
Laen was the second of the three to form from The Fractured.  As the God of Vengeance and Chaos, he represents the destructive qualities of The Fractured.  Possibly the least widely worshipped god on Noreria, his followers are nonetheless powerful.  His main temple is in the Burning Sands desert on Itenia, and there are many warnings by the other desert tribes to stay out of the region.    
Verolia is the third goddess of the Fractured.  The goddess of Compassion, Sensuality, and Nature, she represents the parts of The Fractured that were unable to stand the Parent Gods' destruction.  Verolia is worshipped primarily in Hethsa and Unzir, though she has a few temples located on Etora and one on Itenia.
