History
Mora and Shia. The Gods of Life and Death. Both are vital to the survival of all life, as there cannot be life without death, and ever locked in a struggle of one force over the other symbolized by daily battles between them. Should Mora win their conflict and kill Shia, any being meant to die will not until the next sunrise. Should Shia win, nothing can be born until the next sunset. Despite their bloody conflicts, and acres of land left wrought with the gods' blood, these two are on relatively decent terms, their relationship defined by that they are bound to one another and there will never be a true resolution to their conflict without eliminating the world as we know it. Despite this, their followers are often zealots, viewing it as a black and white issue, with only one solution.
History
Ferventi has long since been hunting the god of life, seeing Mora as an elusive prize and the ultimate kill to prove his boasts and pride.
Relationship Reasoning
She greatly admires Mora and Shia and sees them as the leaders of the god and what are currently the highest ranking gods. She believes them to be incredibly wise due to their advanced age and whenever they talk in her presence she listens attentively and clings on to every word they say. Mora and Shia tend to like Morien for the respect she shows towards them and their domain, and because she is a lot less likely to pull something like Soliairs did to Shia or try to hunt Mora down like Fervanti does, but they also see her as young and naive. She also doesn’t take a side in conflicts involving the two gods fighting each other. She views herself as having no place in their conflicts but also believes the conflicts between them are natural and keeps the other strong.
Relationship Reasoning
Oddly, John seems to be one of her few genuine friends. However, many suspect the validity of their relationship as JL is a notorious trickster god while Ana and Nancy are infamous manipulators, leading some to conclude that the spiders have managed to trick John or John is trying to trick the spider. Some even think they are both trying to trick each other. JL claims he can tell whenever the spider gods tell a lie but there is no concrete information proving this is true or false. Others think that at some point JL simply saw what the spider gods saw within the branching roots of fate or that they wanted to take advantage of his large cult and influence and the fact that fireflies have a more favorable reputation than spiders. Either way, Ana and Nancy helped him in the past when he was mortal and he seems to trust them to some degree, it is at the very least in their best interest to keep him alive and popular for now. Joining the Cult of Spiders also comes with the benefit of the gods promising that they can change your fate or rewrite one’s destiny as needed instead of just being a slave to it like others outside their cult.
Relationship Reasoning
Ana and Nancy seem to actually get along quite well with Mora. it would appear that the goals of the spider god and the god of life usually align. Mora sometimes sends Ana and Nancy to make sure things are in order or flowing as they should. Mora does not usually seem too picky with the how and why the two spider gods choose to resolve the issues as long as it perpetuates the continuation of life and its resulting greater good. There is also the fact that Mora probably has a better grasp of their plans and why they are doing them due to the roots of fate. The continuation of life is something that Ana and Nancy need in order for any of their plans to work, but Ana and Nancy care more about the propagation of intelligent life in particular than Mora does. Meanwhile, Mora only cares that life continues no matter the state in which it does.
History
Nergalzeb is one of Mora’s most fervent worshippers and she practically kisses the ground they walk upon. She does what Mora says without question and sees them as a god of life and death along with Shia. Nergalzeb will often refer to Shia as Moria in order to highlight how she views the god as being connected to both life and death. Nergalzeb takes any slight or disrespect towards Mora from mortals or other minor gods personally. Mora seems to find Nergalzeb loyal and useful but the fly god’s loyalty towards Shia, the God of Death causes Mora to view the fly god less favorably but Nergalzeb rarely causes trouble for Mora unless Shia is involved. Mora and Nergalzeb have surprisingly compatible and similar philosophies. Mora wishes for life to persist no matter what form it takes and Nergalzeb wishes for life to flourish and generate as much of it as possible. Nergalzeb also sees all life as equal and Mora believes that as long as there is any form of life in the world, be it intelligent or not, then they have succeeded. While some others may see Nergalzeb as brutal or uncaring Mora seems to be one the ones that best understands where the fly god is coming from and usually seems unbothered by their spreading of diseases, mold, and parasites, because at the end of the day life is life. Likewise, Nergalzeb doesn’t mind how brutal Mora can be. From her perspective all life is equal and when Mora kills someone they are doing it so that future life may flourish. It is no different than trimming the branches of a tree or bush.
History
Satari values Mora and their goal at protecting life. Satari has been known to assist Mora however she could if it would support the survival of a species. However, it is not idolization or pure trust, as she believes that Mora has far less reservations than her about an individual species facing extinction.
