The Pantheon

The Gods of Tarris Six are many in number and unimaginable in strength.   But they each have a story, and they each have a name.   And over a period of more than four-thousand years, they were born, lived their lives and died, and were brought above the mortal plane and placed in the heavens, forever to live above the world and to watch it grow, prosper and die, as was the custom deemed proper by the two powerful deities who had created it.    In total, there are forty-seven deities belonging to the Tarris pantheon, each of them once human or of another race, but all of them holding a place of great importance in the pantheon and the history of the world over which they reign as the ultimate authorities. They vary in age, and come from different parts of the world, but live together in the heavens in a massive and ancient construct that resides not only over the mortal world, but over the many realms that make up the full expanse of the mortal world in which the mortal races live.   They are not listed in any particular order, but at least two of the deities are known to be the youngest members of the pantheon, dying not long into their lives on the surface.   Unione, the Mountain Goddess. She perished after the continent of Rethium had formed but before the end of the Pantheonic Age. She was a teenager at the time of her death, and often takes the form of a hunter or hiker. She died after being lost in a violent snowstorm after ascending a large mountain and making camp in an exposed cave. Her animal is a goat clad in white and silver hair, with long golden horns.   Dybrus, the Goddess of Mercy. She perished sometime before the known continents were formed, during a trial in which she was found guilty of crimes attached to her by a corrupt official. The exact time of her death is unknown. She was an adult, possibly late thirties. She resides in a human form primarily, but she is known to walk in the mortal world as a female cattle, representing compassion and mercy.   Xyeyr, the Moon God. He is thought to have been one of the first persons to die before becoming a deity in the Pantheon. His fascination with the moon started as a child, and he was known to have died after falling from a great height when trying to reach out to the moon to touch it, dared to do so by friends during his childhood. He often takes the form of a dragon or serpent with ghostly-white scales and purple eyes, and teeth sharper than any known beast. His death might have taken place in the early hundreds of the Pantheonic Age.   Syther, the Military/War God. He is one of the older deities in the Pantheon, and died during a long and bloody conflict which cost thousands of lives if not millions. His death is most commonly placed during the War For Independence fought between Olgath and the newborn Histian Empire, although other accounts say that he died long before this event took place. Strangely enough, his mortal form is that of a goose covered in white feathers with an orange beak and black eyes, standing at roughly forty inches tall. He can commonly be seen carrying a knife or other small blade in his beak.   Sizton, the Earth God. He is younger than some of the other gods in the Pantheon, roughly in his mid to late twenties at the time of his death. He was one of a number of deities to have died a peaceful death after living his life caring for his gardens and for the village in which he lived for his entire life. He unfortunately died when he fell into an open sinkhole that had appeared following a small earthquake. He takes the form of a long snake, covered in glittering scales and with a long, sharp tongue and golden-colored eyes.    Lodarr, the God of Commerce. One of the oldest mortals to die and become a deity. He is known to have lived a long and arduous life as a hard-worked slave of an unknown ruler and his civilization, treated unfairly during his life but amazingly spared an early death at the hands of his superior. He lived until a very old age, possibly into his sixties or seventies which was not common at the time of his death, thought to have been somewhere in the twenty-three-hundreds of the Pantheonic Age, both before and after other notable gods and goddesses had ascended. He takes the form of a large hawk covered in black and white feathers and a sharp beak with a golden tip. He is the namesake of Rethium's currency, the Lodarr.   Pitos, the Underworld God. He is one of the gods to have been banished from the heavens before a majority of the deities had been brought into the heavens, and it is commonly thought that he was a former angel in the heavens before being banished from the heights and thrown into the mortal world. This would make himself and his brother the oldest deities in the pantheon ahead of Xyeyr and others. He commonly takes a ghostly form, and can be seen as a thin and ghastly creature with no obvious features. As a fallen angel, he possesses wings as well as other powers given to him from the heavens. His chosen weapons are a sharp spear dipped in blood, or a small concealable dagger.    Odis, the Guardian God. He is the brother to Pitos, the Underworld God, and was cast with him from the heavens by Hosios-Dyn and Xyfarae, the Creator deities who first formed the universe from the darkness that had come before it. He takes the form of a Decapede, a segmented beast with many legs that resides in the depths of the mortal world. He also walks amongst the living as a crow, or a rat in other cases, although both have been seen with glowing red eyes.    Paqion, the Music Goddess. She is one of the younger deities in the pantheon, having died in her early thirties from an unknown illness that at the time of her death in the nineteen-hundreds of the Pantheonic Age. She had served as the prominent maidservant and entertainer of her superiors during her life, and was killed by a drunken individual after a fight had started in the palace of her master. She takes the form of a spider or swan most commonly in the pantheon. In her spider form, she is colored in a myriad of bright and illuminating colors.    Rydall, the Peace Goddess. One of the older members of the Pantheon, she died after living a full and uneventful life in a village along with more than two-hundred others. She was notable for being wise and kind, caring for everyone she could provide for during her life with whatever she could provide. She perished in the late twenty-first century of the Pantheonic Age, thought to have been more than one-hundred years old at the time, though other accounts say she was between the ages of eighty or ninety years old. She takes the form of a dove, covered in golden feathers rather than white. She carries a shred of the Lelyfed Tree in her beak.    Vavrus, the Harvest God. He is a middle-aged man that died in his forties after living a life of farming and hard work, and had been one of his people's most promising farmers and providers of home and food during his life. He died in a freak accident after being crushed by the limb of a tree he had been cutting down, in the period of the eleven-hundreds. He takes the form of a Rooster, and visits farms and other fields in the mortal realm, to bless those praying to him for a plentiful harvest and for the thanks of a similar harvest at the end of a season. He and Lodarr can often be seen together exploring these regions. He carries a farmer's scythe when in his human form.    Luthtarr, the River God. Perished also in a freak accident when swimming across a violent river during a storm in which he attempted to rescue a friend from suffering the same fate that would eventually take his life. He was fifty-one at the time of his death, and was killed when he tumbled over a waterfall into the reservoir that lied below. In the mortal world he takes the form of a fish, and is colored similar to Paqion in that his scales can change colors both in the sunlight and by themselves. He is not related to any of the other deities, but has been compared to Ehione, another deity in the pantheon.   Yblous, the Love Goddess. She is primarily worshipped and prayed to by young couples when in period of union. Weddings are often held with her as a primary deity, although she is not the designated goddess over these unions between man and woman, which is instead watched over by another female deity. Yblous died in her twenties like many other deities, but the circumstances surrounding her death are unknown. She is known to take the form of a Mare in the mortal realm, covered in a shining silver coat. She is the husband of another deity.   Odrus, the Insanity God. He is also referred to as the Enraged One or The Angry God, and is the husband of Yblous, the Goddess of Love. Their marriage was both a peaceful and tumultuous one, at times at odds with one another and at times sharing in their love and loyalty together. Odrus' own death was also buried under unknown circumstances, but he died in his early thirties, around the same time as his wife Yblous, in the mid twenty-ninth century of the Pantheonic Age, believed to be some years before Unione, the Mountain Goddess perished. He is the only known deity to have died as a married individual. He is commonly seen alongside his wife as a Stallion covered in a tan coat with a black mane and tail, sharing this feature with his wife, Yblous.   Ehione, the Ocean Goddess. Mother of The Sea, Protector of Sailors, Pirates and Wayfarers. Whatever title you use, she is one of the most tragic goddesses. She is known to have died in a storm while crossing an ocean in a large wooden ship when her kingdom fell and exiled themselves to find a new homeland. When the ship sunk, she along with hundreds of others was killed, as was her son, Lubum, who would become the youngest deity in the Pantheon. Ehione died in her mid-forties, and is the beginning of the legend of the Soul Of the Sea, a jewel that became the founding symbol of the kingdom of Atlantis. When in her mortal form, Ehione takes the form of a serpent-like being. A long serpentine tail with four fins along it's length, and measuring several feet long. She is the only deity known to reside only in this form, and sits upon a throne in the pantheon submerged in a pool of water. Her other features are similar, in that she has a nose almost flattened against her face, which itself is very smooth and pleasing to the eye along with the rest of her general appearance. She does not have legs, and instead moves by slithering on her tail when out of the water which is her primary home. She also possesses a tailfin extending from the rear of her head, although she also boasts a head of green-colored hair. She is the largest and tallest of the deities in her body's size, even known to be larger than Hosios-Dyn and Xyfarae, who reside in their own humanoid forms. She can be found wearing flowing gowns and silks across her body, which is colored blue and an off-white, with red-tipped fins.    Xyhdohr, the Honor Goddess. The daughter of Paqion, the Goddess of Music. She lived a longer life than her mother, living until her early sixties after serving her life in her mother's favor and to clear her name, as it was soon rumored that Paqion had deserved her fate as being unfaithful to her master in her chastity, due to the requirement that all female entertainers were to remain pure throughout their lives. Her lifelong mission was to clear her mother's name, and she also resided in the same court as her mother's master, and had even reached the rank of advisor during her tenure, a coveted position amongst the king's court at the time and until that point served only by men, even to the queen. She takes the form of a swan, sometimes sharing this appearance with her mother, whom even in the heavens she now spends much time with and lives a happy relationship with. She also takes the form of a deer-like animal called a Halodae, but is the only goddess to share an animal form with another deity in the pantheon. The exact reason behind her death is unknown.    Futarr, the Honesty Goddess. She perished in her fifties, after being committed into prison for a crime she didn't commit after being accused by a younger male for stealing from him and trying to seduce him in the night. The actual criminal was in disguise and present at the trial but did not reveal herself for fear of being charged to the same fate as Futarr, deciding only to watch as Futarr was accused and punished. Futarr herself was thus sentenced to be left tied to a thorned tree for the remainder of her life, left to die there while being fed twice a day by a rotating guard. She was ultimately killed by a sympathetic guard, and her last words were an honest thankfulness for the guard's actions. She carries the guard's dagger with her as her chosen weapon, and takes the mortal form of a sheep with a thin coat of silver while walking amongst the mortal world.    Idite, the Justice God. The Justifier, Patron God of the Jury and Judge. He served as an important political servant of his people during his life, working as a man in the courts who protected people from being unjustly tried and sentenced whether innocent or guilty of the crimes they were accused of. It is rumored that he fought to save Futarr from her fate but ultimately failed in his mission, and that as a result he ended his career forever. Like Yblous and Odrus, the circumstances of his death are unknown. He takes the form of an owl covered in grey and black feathers, and when in human form he can be seen wearing a jury's cloak as well as carrying a bible, a gavel and wearing a crown of golden leaves or a wig made from the mane of an extinct lion-like beast from ancient history, used even in modern day as a symbol of the authority of men such as Idite. He perished in the late thirty-first century.    Ipmes, the Hunting Goddess. A woman who lived on the continent of Olgath during her lifetime, and who was the master of her craft during her tenure. She served the ruler of the empire in which she lived as a chief gamekeeper, but like Vavrus she died in a freak accident. After making a prized kill during a hunt in the far woods of the empire, she was confused for another prey and was subsequently fired on by a young trainee hunter, and was killed shortly thereafter by the arrow he had shot in her direction. She was thought to have died some time after both Futarr and Idite, as it is known in history that both deities were appealed to for their protection of Ipmes' killer. Ipmes takes the form of a wolf while in the mortal world. She carries with her a longbow and a quiver of countless arrows on her back.    Yrtyx, the Judgement God. She served as another important figure during her life, serving the justice sector of her people's government during her lifetime. Thought to have been related to the same trial in which Futarr and Idite were involved, this would mean that she was in her forties or fifties at the time of the trial, and was in her eighties or nineties when she died. It is thought that she was killed during a riot in which a stray projectile or other object hit her and killed her instantly. This riot surrounded the unfair trial of another criminal accused of different crimes. In her mortal form, she can be seen walking the mortal plane as an eagle, carrying a breastplate for protection against violence and unfair treatment, and can be seen in city centers wherever the courts and other justice departments are found. Many prisoners convicted of crimes are known to pray to her for safety and a just trial in court, offering a shred of their purest clothing or other garments as proof of their innocence and the need for fair treatment during their time in court in the hopes she will spare the innocent from being found guilty.    Liweus, the Governance Goddess. Daughter of Rydall. Liweus was born when her mother was twenty-three, and lived a full life in the same village as her mother, and served as one of the patrons of that village during her mother's later lifetime before she died of old age. Liweus was, like her mother, a very fair and careful woman, always keen to listen to reason when it was provided to her and willing to speak at length with those visiting her in order to gain a full picture of the situation they had found themselves in, whether it was a dispute with a neighbor or even a political strife that could not be solved without interference. She perished in her late fifties, honored as the first true governor of her village's affairs and the sole individual responsible for keeping her people safe from being enslaved by a nearby empire who had been searching for people who they could use as slaves for their fields. She died in her home of natural causes, and was buried on the land on which her home sat after it was torn down and fenced off from the rest of the village. Her mother was buried with her on the same plot of land not long after it was established, and the monument is still preserved as a historical site to this day. Liweus is known to take the form of a large brown bear wearing fitted armor plates, and she is often depicted on the seal of many governmental offices that operate in the same capacity as she once did.   Wodum, the Battle God. He is sometimes interchanged with Syther, the Military and War God, though they are in fact two different people entirely. They were thought to have lived during the same time period which would explain their similar arrival times in the Pantheon realm, although the circumstances surrounding their deaths are different. Wodum was present onboard one of the ships fighting in the naval exchange of the War For Independence between Olgath and the Histian Empire, and it is accepted that he was killed when his ship exploded after it's magazine was struck by a cannon from an enemy vessel in the last minutes of the battle. He is regarded as one of the wisest gods in the Pantheon, especially in regards to the tactics and strategies of war itself, and is prayed to by warriors and soldiers and even their superiors before battle, while Syther also shares in this praise especially before and after battle. Wodum perished in his late thirties, and his body was never recovered after the sinking of the vessel on which he served. He and Syther are depicted with statues along the coastline of Essen, where the battle they are believed to have participated in was fought. When in the mortal world, Wodum takes the form of a gull covered in black with a golden beak, or even a large bull with horns of iron or steel upon his head and bearing a ring of thorns from his nose. He is one of the few gods to be easily angered, and due to this emotional state, he does not speak much even in unrelated conversations as his emotions are always able to get the better of him and may cause him to attempt to win any conversations or other disputes due to his previous nature as a tactician. He does not have a favored environment in the mortal world, and thus is hard to find.   Ether, the Time Goddess. Also known as the Harbinger of Shadow and Light. She is thought to have been related to both Xyeyr and another deity, Gyrasil, despite not living in the same time period, thus it is accepted that their family lines had intercepted at some prior period and had eventually produced Ether as a descendant of the two beings. She lived a short life unfortunately, living only to the age of twenty, thus becoming the third youngest member of the pantheon. She was enticed into her studies by the fascination of the stars and the movement of the planets, and was eventually accepted into a school of magic when it was discovered that she had the ability to influence the environment around her by the same unknown methods. She went on to study world history and the cosmos, but was killed in a freak accident similar to other gods and goddesses of the Pantheon, and much like some of them, the circumstances of her death were also never revealed to the public. She was accepted into the Pantheon soon after, and was given the powers of time. She is thought to be related to the Patrons of Night and Day, who themselves are related to Xyeyr and Gyrasil but are not amongst the members of the higher Pantheon and instead serve in a council of lesser deities. Ether has two personalities, these being Ether, of the daytime, and Aether, of the night. She takes the form of a dragon, much like Xyeyr.   Enteus the Preserver, also known as the Mother Of Healing. She is the only member of the Pantheon to be of the Elven race, and is one of the oldest members of the pantheon along with Xyeyr and others. She was a healer for wartime as well as for the sick and elderly, and served with adventuring parties as their resident spellcaster and healer. She is the only goddess also connected in such a way to the mastery of healing and spellcasting of this nature, and is the primary physician over all institutes and hospitals from early history onwards, and in her honor all known hospitals have employed Elves in their staff for this reason to recognize Enteus' authority and abilities during her lifetime. She was killed after being infected with a deadly virus that had claimed millions in the final decades of the Pantheonic Age, and is one of the last members of the Pantheon to be accepted into their ranks before the beginning of modern history. She takes the animal form of a pig in the mortal world, but also takes the form of a Felt, which is a small creature with a slender body and long tail and lives amongst humans in many towns and cities throughout Rethium. Her accepted estimated date of death is the year ninety-three of the Pantheonic Age, with only one or two deities thought to have followed after her.    Vezmus, the Wind God. One of the earliest individuals to have died in the Pantheonic Age, he was forty-seven when he died during a violent storm on the coastline of his country when a freak storm had invaded the coastline during the summer months. He was a sailor onboard a large fishing vessel, and his vessel and his crew had been heading for the safety of the coast before the storm had swallowed them. The timeline of this incident are not properly recorded, thus his life is also not widely accepted as true due to a number of possible inaccuracies of multiple periods of time in his life. His ship, the Arnprior, took all souls with it when it sunk, including Vezmus, who was last seen in the crow's nest trying to find the coastline to bring his ship to safety. When a large wave had overcome the ship just before it sunk, the crow's nest was ripped away and Vezmus with it. When visiting the mortal world, he often takes the form of a very large dragon or bird, although in his mortal form he is larger than Ehione but still fits and resides within the Pantheon structure as a Giant, and he is known to take the form also of an Ogre or Orc, though he enjoys his human form more than the others. He is often depicted in stories and legends as flying a preserved model of his former ship, capable of operating it as the single crew member, though others in the Pantheon have been accepted as unofficial crew members as well. He is one of the most excitable deities in the Pantheon and enjoys spending his off-time exploring onboard the Arnprior.    Lubum, the Infant God. He is the infant son of Ehione, the Ocean Goddess, and died during the same accident that claimed her life when the ship they were travelling on sunk during a violent storm at sea. He was the youngest passenger onboard the vessel at only two years of age, and after his death he was brought to the Pantheon by his mother and was thereafter preserved as a child of only five to six years of age. He has the ability to take the form of many small animals such as squirrels, dogs, foxes and other creatures, but enjoys the form of a canine with tan fur and a short tail the most of all, and when not in the Pantheon he can be found especially in Rethium in this canine form or even as himself, playing with other younglings. Parents and young couples often pray to him for the blessing of the woman's fertility, and worship him primarily after the child's birth and in the first years of their life. This means he is also the patron of Fertility and Motherhood. He spends time with Ehione and his mother while in the Pantheon.    Ajun, the Star God. He is also the God of the Sky, and is depicted in legends as holding the realm of the stars above the mortal plane to prevent the world-ending disaster that would see the stars fall from the sky and burning the planets and the mortal planes into ashes. He is thus depicted as the largest of the deities, even larger than the legendary Titans. Ajun is the only deity whose lifetime is not documented in any form, and his time of birth and death are also by this respect unknown. When visiting the mortal world, he can be found as a rabbit or hare covered in deep blue hair with small white spots and golden eyes, but he can also take the forms of other species as well as many that are not known to the mortal worlds. A common rumor of his life is that he is one of the first Giants that lived in the world and crafted it, though this rumor has not been confirmed as true by any of the Pantheon members.    Luthar, the God of the Ostracized. His story is also not documented, thus the time of his death is unknown to the world. He is the only member of the Pantheon to have been born of another ethnic group, as his skin is dark and covered with tattoos and markings that are known to glow as a physical representation of the power contained within his body, but otherwise he maintains a primarily human form at all times. He is known to occupy the animal form of a Colmeleon, which was a four-legged creature covered in scales that measured just four feet long and weighed in at seventy pounds. He is the only deity to have chosen this singular form, as it seemed to attach to him as a very unique but also threatened species of animal during his own lifetime. He does not occupy any other animal forms. He carries with him a staff from his own former tribe, thought to have been gifted to him from the last leader of his tribe before it had disappeared, thus making him and his weapon the last remaining link to his own past as a mortal being. To the ethnic group he originated from, he is regarded as the most powerful god and is thus respected as such.    Zodon, the Wedding Goddess. Thought to be the fourth youngest member of the Pantheon at only twenty-one years old, she was one of the most tragic members of the Pantheon, and died somewhere in the final century before the end of the Pantheonic Age, as did Enteus and Luthar. She lived a life away from society due to her mother and father's over-protective nature, and to the fact that Zodon had been attracted to the son of a prominent family whom her own family had been feuding with for many decades before. The final days of her life are documented in a story commonly told and used in school education systems, which follows the tragic meeting between Zodon and her lover and their final act of love which was their committed suicide from the highest tower of a building that stood between the estates of their two families. They had wed the day before in secret, and knew of the act that they would come to commit to not long after. The deities that watched over them took pity, and brought Zodon and her lover to the Pantheon, although it is known that Zodon's lover disappeared from the heavens under unknown circumstances. When in her animal form, she can be found as a Duckling or a Dove, although her most common is the form of a Duck. This has led to the tradition at every wedding for a single duck to be present amongst the crowd as a representation of the goddess.    Yagi, the Tranquility Goddess. Also known as the Goddess of Nature, Forests and The Flourish. She lives in the Pantheon with the other deities, but spends a majority of her time in the woodlands within the other surrounding realms as well as the mortal world, but is the only goddess known to be able to take the forms of all known forest animals in Rethium and more. She is the protector of the woodlands across the world, and is thus their patron goddess. She was born in the woods in what is thought to be the ninth century of the Pantheonic Age, and died in the same period at the age of thirty-seven, and is also one of the only deities known to have trained an apprentice under her work during her lifetime, a young child named Me’hthem’elae, which translates to Nightingale. This woman is known to reside in the forests of the world in modern day, but can most commonly be found within the Yagi Forest in the country of Opron, the same forest where she was trained by Yagi. Yagi's most common animal form is a small white bird with black legs and a black beak.   Ibris, the Thunder God. Also called the Storm God and the Weatherman, he is a very unique deity. He lived a full life and a natural death in the seventeenth century of the Pantheonic Age, dying at the age of sixty-one from a heart attack in his home during the night. He studied the planet and it's weather systems all his life, fascinated in the machinations that allowed the processes to take place during the planet's seasons and their changing. Most fascinating to him was the formation of lightning and thunder during storms as well as storms themselves, and thus after his death he was given the power and authority over that which he had studied all his life. Despite this, he was a conflicted deity, and even to this day is known to seek mortality over godhood, always trying to appeal to his mortal side and seeking the pleasures of that life. He carries a hammer that can control the storms and violent thunder and lightning, aptly named Omdis' Hammer. He is found commonly in human form both in the Pantheon and the mortal world, and takes many forms of reptiles and amphibians, often coursing with flame or lightning on their bodies. He is an extremely fast traveler as well. When resurrected, he was returned to a human form of roughly late thirties in age or slightly younger.    Gyrasil, the Sun Goddess. Related distantly it is thought to both Xyeyr and Ether, Gyrasil lived a similar but opposite life to Xyeyr, studying the sun and the machinations of time, and being fascinated with many legends and stories told to her by family and friends. She is of similar age to Xyeyr, and had died in an equally tragic accident at the end of her life. She had ascended the top of a great tree to attempt to reach out and touch the sun, but perished when she fell from the height and broke her neck when falling to the ground. She is known to take the form of a dragon or other flying serpent like Xyeyr, and they can be found spending time together talking and enjoying one another's company, though they are not known to have become as close as many liked to have believed. Her relation to Ether is thought to have been produced by the connection of later generations of her and Xyeyr's family lines before producing Ether as a result, making them both ancestors of the eventual Time Goddess.   Ealdir, the Chivalry God. Also referred to as The Chivalrous One or The Knight, Ealdir was known as such throughout his life, to have served as a public servant in the city which employed him during his life in the fifteenth century. He was introduced to the life of the knights at the age of thirteen when he became a squire, and eventually moved up the ranks and became a full-fledged knight at the age of thirty-one, serving for six years until the age of thirty-seven, when he died during a riot conflict surrounding the election of a city official. He was thrown from his horse and trampled to death, trying to protect several elderly folk caught in the riot, and due to his untimely death those elderly were indeed saved. He is the primary deity worshipped by knights and other chivalrous orders of the world, and is commonly found dressed in full armor and compliment, riding a proud stallion and carrying with him a banner depicting the flag of his former kingdom and the current Pantheon he serves. He is often found in the form of a lion-like creature or a horse or bull, both in full armor, and is the third or fourth deity in the Pantheon choosing to use that animal form.    Omdis, the Law God. Born in an unknown time period before many kingdoms had been established, he is thought to be the Founder of The Laws Of Nature and The World, the title given to all codes used across the world regardless of their given order, their kingdom and the people who adopt those codes into their lives. He is thought to have been one of the earliest born deities and one of the only mortal beings to have witnessed the mortal form of Hosios-Dyn and Xyfarae during their time shared on the mortal plane, thus making him one of the most important deities in the entire Pantheon. He is known to take the form of a Gigeep, a type of monkey-like animal which is characterized by the long tufts of hair that grow from their face with the appearance of a mustache. He also takes the form of a Stingora, which is a small mammal covered in short, sharp spikes  with a short snout. He perished at a very old age, and although it is not firmly cemented, he is said to be the oldest living human in the world, living for more than nine-hundred-seventy years, meaning that he more than likely was alive during the existence of other men and women who themselves eventually became deities. Thus the exact dates of his life and death are unknown, and these dates are still being debated to this date.   Xadur, the Drunken God. Also the Father of Wine, Beer and Alcohol, and even known as The Jester, he is the inspiration for the true creation and widespread of fermented and concocted beverages such as wines, beers and alcohols. He is thought to have lived a very troublesome lifestyle amongst friends and families, and is sometimes depicted in stories and legends as The Loneliest Man In The World. He inspired the creations of humor and other aspects of life, and thus many entertainers in the times of early kingdoms adopted his name and façade as their own, stumbling and behaving as he did throughout his life of more than two-hundred-thirty years of age. He was thought to have been born some time after Omdis, although the span between them and thus the year of Xadur's birth are not known conclusively. He takes the form of a parrot or other styled birds, as well as monkeys and other four-limbed beings, sometimes unable to transform properly between them due to his drunken lifestyle which he is known to still adopt to this day. His lifetime would make him one of the oldest men in the Pantheonic Age alongside Omdis.    Also part of the Pantheon are the Titans, extremely large and powerful beings who are known to represent aspects of time under Ether, as well as the Four Seasons.   The first Titan to be born was Copeus, the Spring Titan. Her daughter, Ydes, was born despite Copeus not being tied to a known deity. Copeus was in the form of an Elven woman when she gave birth to Ydes, who was also born an Elven woman after her mother. Ydes is the first Elemental, and is able to control the Water Element.   The second Titan to be born was Eione, the Summer Titan. Her daughter was Vaohr, whom she begot with the Earth God, Sizton. Eione was in the form of a Faun when she and Sizton united, and thus Vaohr was born in her mother's likeness. Vaohr is the second Elemental, a being able to control the elements of the season or land where they were born. Vaohr controls the Earth Element.   The third Titan to be born was Rytyx, the Fall Titan. Her daughter was Tealdir, whom she begot without the presence of a mate. When Tealdir was born, Rytyx was in the form of a Kitsune, thus bearing her child similarly in her likeness, with a fiery-colored hair, tail and ears. She is the third-oldest Elemental of the four, but is nonetheless respected as much as the others. Tealdir is the third Elemental, and is thus able to control the Fire Element.   The fourth Titan to be born was Deeyar, the Winter Titan. Her daughter was Oesis, and again was born without the presence of a male figure alongside her. When Oesis was born, she took the form of a serpent-like creature, and thus her daughter Oesis was born in her likeness. Oesis is the youngest of the Elementals, the fourth of them to be born, and is in control of the Snow Element, which is also referred to as Ice.
