Yewan
The God of the Natural Cycle and half brother to Illymar, Yewan became ambitious and often challenged the authority of Rubicon, believing himself to be a superior deity. Yewan's self-importance often put him at odds with Illymar and the other gods of the Celestine Pantheon, eventually leading to Yewan's excommunication.Janus
Janus, the trickster god, was the father of Illymar. After a deceptive dalliance with Illymar's mother, Ilsa, Illymar was kept away from her father for most of her childhood. After her marriage to Rubicon, the gap between father and daughter grew even larger, and when the time came for Janus to accept punishment for his involvement in the War of the Usurper, Illymar was the god who suggested he be banished to the mortal realm, to forever witness the grief he caused.Titanis
Titanis the Conquerer was a war god and twin brother of Tacitus. Known as "The Bane of Hesperus," and "The Usurper," Titanis was manipualted by Illymar's father into rebelling against Enson's rule.

From her early years, Illymar took an interest in the affairs of mortals. Against her mother, Ilsa's wishes, Illymar spent much of her time in disguise, walking among mortals and learning their languages, cultures, and disciplines. Her compassion for mortals endeared her to Rubicon, and soon the two were wed.The Celestine War
During the War of the Usurper, while her husband fought alongside his father, Illymar became enraged at Titanis's involvement of the mortal. Mortals became involved in the usurper god's mutiny, resulting in a devastating mortal war in 1274 BCE. Illyamr spent much of her time attempting to quell the violence insighted by Titanis, but much death still occurred. After experiencing such loss, Illymar withdrew heavily from the mortal realm for several hundred years. After the war in 1274 BCE, King Enson ceded his throne to Rubicon, and as his wife, Illymar took the throne as Queen of the Celestine.Holy Books & Codes
