   *Summer: Declared sister of the Sun god (she didn't give him any say in the matter).  Long days, siestas, droughts, and deserts.
   *Sun: A bit stuck up, and doesn't care much about people.  He does despise undead, which appears related to a prank by the Trickster god.
-  *Tunnels: Lord of the passages beneath the earth, their flora, their fauna, and their riches.
+  *Tunnels: Lord of the passages beneath the earth, their flora, their fauna, and their riches.  Also beetles: apparently, as an introvert, he found crafting new types of beetles soothing.
-  *Vengeance: This isn't her __first__ job, apparently she was one of the fertility goddesses before something went badly with another god.  Now she's known for her focused rage.  While her power responds to any seeking redress for personal wrongdoing, she has a clear predjudice in favor of women.  The [[t|Tonberries]] call her //Ugghaleppie//.

   *Golden Sheaf: Patron of farming, particularly grains.  Also grain-based alcoholic beverages.  Called Retemed in Asteria, Enohpesrep in the Caliphate, and Okami in Yamato.
   *Hope: The 107th divinity.  She has a planet named after her

   *Judgement: One of the Death gods.  Originally in charge of assigning afterlife destinations.

   *Madness: Also berserkers, artistic inspiration, rage-based murder, and cheese.  They really like cheese.
   *Making: Patron of craftsmen, purportedly the farther of dwarf-kind.
-  *Mercy: Technically, one of the death gods.  Mercy is driven to reduce suffering, even if that means putting you back on the cycle of reincarnation.
+  *{{ :wiki:veto_zomer_-_the_embrace.jpg?linkonly |Mercy}}: Technically, one of the death gods.  Mercy is driven to reduce suffering, even if that means putting you back on the cycle of reincarnation.
   *Motherhood: originally, the Earth Mother farmed out the general concept of Fertility onto her younger sibling.  In the centuries since the Slumbering Era, mortals have developed a more limited understanding of this goddess.  Another moon goddess.
   *Muse, The: The goddess of Bards, Scholarship, and the Performing Arts in general.

   *Ashtoreth:  Technically not a god.  One of the few known **Devils** to amass a worshiper base large enough to become its own nation.  Depicted as a supremely feminine horned Keshanti, hung like an ogre, and terminally aroused.
   *Belkwyneth Stormcrow: Greater Dragon of Time, the Oncoming Storm, Lapin's Mentor.  Not dead.  An inveterate meddler in the spirit of first series Doctor Who.  Does not take assistants through time, but always knows a //little too much// about what is going on.  Normally garbed in a fashionable long-coat and floppy hat that is just a bit out of fashion.
-  *Blood-God, The: A moderately benign and active minor god with severe hemophila.  Patron of butchers and surgeons, he is fairly generous with his blessings: “Blood for the Blood-God” is the number one preventative measure against wound infection worldwide.  Things only go downhill when you get a cult of his followers who share his proclivities.
+  *Black Sphinx: The Black Quartz Sphinx, Adjudicator of Oaths.  Swearing by him is much like swearing by the river Styx, except oath-breaking leads to a much more direct form of Divine Intervention, of the Permanent sort.  Before the Slumbering, he served as an impartial referee between the major gods, //especially// Law and Justice.

   *Caspian: Sea-foam god of the meeting of Land and Sea, patron of fishermen.
+  *{{:wiki:‪looceyloo‬-_goddess_of_the_rising_plume.jpg?linkonly|Censer}}: Goddess of the Rising Plume, Servant of Fire.  Censer is oddly the least volatile of her master's servants, and somehow ended up in charge.  Her relationship with Ifrit only __seems__ casual to the outsider.
   *Chien: The god of third choices and thinking outside of the box.  Servant of Absurdity.  Appears as a Wolven child who makes an unlikely suggestion, then vanishes once the discussion gets moving again.
-  *Dagger, The: "{{ :the_dagger_by_vetozomer.jpg?linkonly|The Dagger}}" is the minor deity of murder. She revels in the thrill and ecstasy of murder and loves impulsive killings as much as planned masterful murders.  Technically works for Night. (credit: @vetozomer.bsky.social‬)
+  *Children of Rage: While some sects may refuse to acknowledge the existence of the moons of Rage, the second-generation gods they represent are verifiable entities with evidence-based mythologies.  It is said that when their repective moon is hidden behind the fourth planet, they acting among mortals, usually at some monumental scale.
-  *Demeraed: Servitor of Vines and Groves, liaison to Feiere and her opposite number under Golden Sheaf.  Likes mortal festivals, but gets a bit mean when defending her master's honor.  Carries a staff made from blooming fruit tree wood.
+    *Ancient Grievances: The second furthest out moon, and just kind of Grey.  A.G. is the patron of blood feuds, family rivalries, and multi-generational conflicts.  His mother was a [[d|Greater Dragon]], one whose death is detailed in //The Epic of Law, Order, and Chaos//.  A.G. appears as a wizened and cantankerous elderly man.
+    *Bright Fury: Symbolizes sudden, fast-burning anger, and symbolized by the innermost, brightest moon.  B.F. appears as a young, highly temperamental woman.
+    *Inne: The fourth, seemingly quiet moon.  Inne represents self-directed rage, and promotes either self-destructive behavior, or that sudden calamitous lashing out at everything that pushed you just that little bit too far.
+    *Repentance: If you are an adept-class Farseer mage, or own a //very// expensive enchanted telescope, you will notice that rage has a dim, blue-white sixth moon.  Repentance's mother is Mercy (some of those Divine Era parties got __wild__), and he spends a lot of time cleaning up his siblings' messes.
+    *Riotous Clamor: The largest, middle moon, R.C. appears as a huge hairless man covered in tribal tattoos, and delights in inflaming the masses, usually in tight quarters.  His mother may have been a demon: that lore was lost in the Degenerate Era.
+    *Simmering Resentment: The second moon, prone to occasionally becoming MUCH BRIGHTER (probably volcanic).  S.R. is the mother of that festering anger one sits upon, until that day when you decide to visit an orphanage with a scroll of //Meteor Shower//.
+  *Dagger, The: "{{ :the_dagger_by_vetozomer.jpg?linkonly|The Dagger}}" is the minor deity of murder. She revels in the thrill and ecstasy of murder and loves impulsive killings as much as planned masterful executions.  Technically works for Night. (credit: @vetozomer.bsky.social‬)

+  *Eimos and Obos: Twin servants of the Hunting god, manifest as tiger-sized eight-legged panthers.  Unlike their master, they __are__ articulate, perhaps too much so.  They teamed up with Trickery a lot back in the Divine Era, and have a complicated relationship with Lapin.
   *Feiere: The messenger of Eudemonia.  She has many forms, and frequently tries to get mortals to make the world a much more //fun// place.
   *Flayed One, The: The Flayed One hasn't __personally__ manifested in centuries, but his cult keeps popping up, and requiring vigorous suppression.  Their hobbies include torturing sacrifices to death, then using the souls of their victims to empower further rites to call forth their master.  None of the tales about the Flayed One are fit for children or polite company.

   *Po: Emperor of the [[Uruk Mandarinate]] circa 1000 IE.  After nearly 300 years, the population still reveres him.
   *Rat King: At some point in the very early Imperial Era, the shamanistic //Great Rat Spirit// got upgraded to a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Lwyd|Mari Lwyd]]-like festival personage, wher you symbolically deny Him entrance to your home to prevent rodent infestations.  The rest of the year, he behaves as you'd expect.
-  *Raven Queen: A legendary figure of great power and mystique during the Degenerate Era.  It is said she could steal and bequeath memories through her corvid minions.  There are yearly, seemingly random resurgences on the telling of her legends.

   *Shralindra: Responsible for the waxing and waning of the White Moon.  A convenient intermediary for all the Slumbering fertility/lunar/motherhood divinities.  It is said that on the night of the New Moon, she dallies with a mortal man, and twenty-seven days later she presents them with their freshly weaned child.  These children usually lead //interesting// lives, but not as exciting as Chaos' children were wont to live.
   *[[https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Sf028c9c972754df1bc72a6b939bed69dx.png|Silvanoelle]]: Guardian Water spirit of the Ninth Watchweyr.  Currently slumbering.
+  *Shango: A subordinate of the Storm goddess, Shango originally was the "Artisan of the Dawn and Sunset Skies", but now has been saddled with being his mistresses' primary point of contact.  He would __really__ like to get back to his art full time.
   *Sompek: One of the Greater Dragons that died during the Degenerate Era.  His spirit has stuck around because he wants to discuss his case directly with Judgement.  Called upon as an intermediary with Storm, and the patron of the Storm Dragon mage school.
   *Star-hart: Servant of Dream.  Best known for waking mortals up right before something tries to assault them in their sleep.

   *Ramuh: //Celestial//.  Woe-begotten servant of Storm.  The only Celestial to be elevated to this level by mortal appreciation: they needed //somebody// they could talk to.
   *Shiva: //Celestial//.  One of the earliest Celestials, daughter of Winter.  Liked mortals before it became cool.

+  *Siren: //Celestial//.  Trickery and The Muse convinced Sea to elevate her.  Take that as you will.
   *Titan: //Terrestial//.  Child of the Earth Mother.  Portrayed as resentful of the attention his other siblings get.  More work to contract with, unless you're out to smash temples or holy sites.
   *Valefor: //Celestial//, Air.  Doesn't show up much before the Imperial Era, at which point House Eru put forth an enormous amount of effort into having him recognized as one of the Great Beings.
