Pantheon of the Dawn

The Pantheon of the Dawn holds mixed meanings to many races throughout the world. To many the Gods of the Dawn are feared and to utter their name brings only pain. To others the Gods of the Dawn are another part of life. Where Am'sa brings life to the earth, Bhra'tis comes to return that life to the ground so that the cycle can begin anew. While it is only Bhra'tis who ferries the souls of the dead, Ste'las is also referred to as the Goddess of Death as she guides the souls to her husband.

The Incarnate

Bhra'tis, Embodiment of the Dawn

Bhra'tis is the transition between light and dark. He is the youngest of the Incarnate and in the Physical Realm he is the embodiment of Death. After the creation of the first born, Dai’kar came to Bhra'tis and asked if he would guide the souls of the dead to Ak'asa. He agreed but was told that any soul deemed not worthy would be left in between the realms to suffer in darkness. He would spend eternity moving between the realms and always watching over the space between.

The Celestials

Ste'las, Embodiment of the Stars

Ste'las is the embodiment of the Stars. In the beginning it's said that beyond the sky where the stars reside is the immaterial realm known as Ak'asa. Here is where Ste'las watches over everything with her own form being the only star in the sky. When her husband was asked to guide the souls of the departed, she asked if she could be a beacon not only for the dead but also for her husband. Dai’kar agreed and it's said that when a soul passes over a great light can be seen in the sky to guide the soul to the gates of Ak'asa. She is the light in the darkness to guide all souls.

Si'kar, Embodiment of the Hunt

Si'kar is the Embodiment of the Hunt. It's said that when Am'sa created the animals of the world many would slowly die. While some took to eating the plants, many layed down and withered away. It was then that Si'kar realized that some of these creatures would live upon the life of others. He created the first predators of the world and gave them the instinct to hunt. When the first born were created he chose a select few and trained them in his ways.

Ds'ala, Embodiment of War

Ds'ala is the Embodiment of War. Commonly known as the War Mistress, she is filled with a hunger for violence that can never be filled. When Rek'nis turned on Dai’kar she welcomed the war and fought alongside Rek'nis as he had promised her she could fill the world with an endless war.

Children of the Gods

Oko'ros, Embodiment of Patience

Oko'ros is the child of the Hunt and the War Mistress. She was created to be the total instrument of war. She is the embodiment of Patience and has been known to spend years hunting a single prey. Many who believe themselves to be true masters of war will often boast of their godlike patience on the battlefield.

Ava', Embodiment of Grace

Ava' is the Embodiment of Grace and is the shepherd of all birds. Ava detests violence and is often questioned if she is truly the daughter of the war mistress. Like the birds she shepards, she often takes flight at a moment's notice. Many women of royalty will often pray to Ava before formal events in the hopes of showing godlike grace.

Mrh'sus, Embodiment of the Storm

Mrh'sus is the embodiment of the storm. He takes the form of a great owl and is said to create the great storms that ravage the lands. Centuries after the first born were created, Dai’kar believed that they needed to be constantly reminded who created them. In doing so he tasked Mrh'sus with creating great storms to ravage the homes of the First born. In doing so they would be reminded of who ruled over the lands. This would make him the most hated of the Gods.

Primordial Beings

The Khal'

When Bhra'tis began to ferry souls to the afterlife, he would come across the purest of souls that held a light that illuminated Ak'asa. He asked the souls if they would help his wife guide those to the afterlife. Many agreed and were placed in the sky over Provarus. In doing so the night sky began to illuminate the world alongside the moon. Touched by his gift, Ste'las would ask if any would return to the Physical Realm to help her husband. Few would agree but those who did were granted a new mortal form. The Khal' remain out of sight to the mortal races as they are beings not natural to the Physical Realm. In past centuries Dai’kar was against the Khal' as he believed that once a mortal died they should not return to their world.
