Toth
The leader of the pantheon of the gods. It was said that he killed all of his older brothers as well as father “Waz’aash” to obtain his position. He is known to be vengeful and rewards those that wish to obtain higher power, bestowing various boons on those he favours and curses upon others. He is said to walk on Meibos one day per year and bestow his blessing on children that are destined to lead while applying afflictions to those he deems unworthy.

Ta'ra
The matriarch of the gods and one of the wives of Toth. Previously being married to Toth’s father she was forced to be wed to Toth after he gained victory over his other family members. She is known to despise Toth and works to undermine those that are favoured by him. This is commonly associated by bestowing deformities or sicknesses upon the children on the children of those blessed by Toth.

Tikki'set
The god of death and one of the younger brothers of Toth. He was Waz’aash’s favorite son and some claim that he was the reason for Toth’s brutal murder of his siblings and father. Always practicing occultism and playing with powers unknown, he was exiled and hid himself away. He strikes out from time to time, usually against Toth and his followers and is said to be responsible for managing those that die.

He is known to stalk the land in the night, bringing death to those whose time is up.

U'lkana
Toth’s youngest sister. Is known to be the ‘Goddess of the Hunt’ and is ferociously loyal to Toth. Her main focus is to ensure that Tikki’set is hunted down and consequently killed.

Not much is known about her other than she is able to manipulate the elements at will. As a result, sandstorms, the occasional rain and other environmental phenomena are associated with her.

She is the only god to have been bestowed the power to ascend a human to become a deity and her mate and all the powers that come with it. She can use her power once every 3000 years whereupon the human becomes a god and adopts the visage of A'likeer for that period of time until it is over and is reincarnated back onto Meibos and another takes their place.

Despite her purpose, she is known to be a kinder deity, helping those who are lost.

Cha'na
One of the two twin sisters of Ta’ra. Cha’na is the goddess of beauty and some claim she is also the Goddess of war.

Cha’na is known to be able to bend the wills of the strongest men to do her bidding, luring them in with grand promises or her many lustful forms. She is usually depicted as being quite a petite woman but she is believed to be the most dangerous of all the deities.

She revels in murder and is claimed to wash herself in the blood of those that are slain in order to retain her beauty and power. If a war or battle erupts, it is usually believed that she had seduced those in power to do so.

Cha'ra
The second twin sister of Ta’ra. Cha’ra is seen as the goddess of wisdom and fertility.

She is seen as the kindest deity and therefore sometimes labelled as the “weakest”. She is responsible for all births and does her best to minimize the influences and meddling of the other gods.

People that follow her tend to be those of higher intellect, believing that their inspiration comes from her blessing and support.

Unlike her sister, she is devoted to trying to help push for peace as she believes that without peace there is no progress.

A'likeer
The mate of U'lkana and truly the second part of her soul for this cycle.

The one that is deemed to be A'likeer for this cycle was said to have been originally a famed hunter that was deemed the guardian of the sacred forest, centuries ago when Meibos was a lush green paradise. The local populations wanted to take the trees for their own to build their houses but he fought them all until he was overwhelmed and injured.

As he escaped into the forest, he got lost and prepared to die upon a lone stone that stood tall in the middle of a large clearing when the goddess U'lkana appeared to him and imbued him with her essence and that of the forest to create the deity that he is now known as.

Together, they are known to roam the land in search of Tikki'set and Si'pa.

The stories say that he is known to tend to the wilds of Maibos and helps those in need of guidance. There are stories where children have spoken of an animal with giant antlers, silver scales, and the coldest icy blue eyes you will ever come across that guided them back to safety.

There is no shortage of such tales in all parts of Meibos which displays their power and benevolence.

It seems that while In all parts of Meibos you hear these stories. Seemingly one guides your feet while the other guides your hand, both in perfect symbiosis.

Hurad
Is the son of Cha'ra who she willed out of her own heart so it is no wonder he is the true god of love and devotion.

Many think of this deity as one of pure goodness but beware, Hurad is fickle and jealous of his subjects as he himself can never find love. Being born out of his mothers heart and love cursing him so.

He is one to despise those who threaten him as the ultimate male be it beast, or man. He is often praised by sharpshooters and bowmen as they think he can aid their aim and steady their hand.

Fre'il - Daughter of Toth and Ta'ra
She is the daughter of Toth and Tara after they both took her father as their sexual partner.

She is seen as the demigod of dawn, dusk, dreams lost, and hope.

She is truly a divided deity, with her parents so powerful and with such strong wills it is understandable how she is both your damnation and your savior.

She lights stars for lost travelers to follow but as they almost reach their goal, she paints the land in a thick fog or storm, impossible to navigate. No matter how you try you cannot please her but neither can you anger her, just hope that her goodwill stands you by all the way through.

Truly the deity of chaos.

Si'pa - Bride of Tikki'set
Si'pa is the bride of Tikki'set, it is said that her origin came about as her mother was an unknown young girl of unrivaled beauty, who gets kidnapped, tortured, and violated by one of the local noblemen as she prays and begs for her father to rescue her.

When she learns that her father has no intention to come to her aid and left her in pain, misery and torment at the hands of the nobleman she abandoned her pleas for release and set her heart on vengeance upon them both.

She was willing to pay the ultimate price, striking a deal with the Dark Lord Tikki'set to take her into his cold arms and gave her firstborn daughter as his bride.

Having accepted her tribute, he went on and inflicted unimaginable pain and torment upon both her father and the nobleman, eventually forcing them to take their own life in order to just stop the suffering.

After then the unknown woman gave birth and her daughter was immediately taken by the Dark Lord to the underworld where she now stands.

She is in charge of preparing the souls of the damned before they are consumed and placed under eternal suffering under the Dark Lord. She has been known to frequently return to the land of Meibos seeking out those who seek to suppress or violate others.

You do not want to cross or anger Si'pa.
