Aradamus the Thunderous, God of War — Once a great military commander, who legend says managed to conquer half of Forelle and the northwest coast of Voreld, Aradamus has over the centuries been elevated to the status of god-hood. The stories make him out to be a peerless soldier with mastery over the skies, sending lightning bolts to strike down his foes as his endless armies approach. The reality was just that he was a skilled and charismatic commander and war hero, who became a cultural hero upon his death. Either way, he is now worshiped by many – especially soldiers – as one of the most important gods of Brennis.
Aurelia the Radiant, Goddess of Healing and Medicine — In life, Aurelia was thought to have possessed mystical powers, being able to heal even the most plague-stricken individuals. As time went on, legends of her healing power grew greater and she became recognized as a goddess, said to watch over the ill and perform miracles, much like she did in life. It is said that when this happens, a radiant light shines down from above. She is primarily worshiped by those that continue her duty as healers, although when illness rears its ugly head, those sick and dying often pray to her. She is one of the more important goddesses of the island and most medicine bears her symbol.
Democles the Strange, God of the Unusual and Miscreant — Previously a criminal in past life, renowned and infamous in his seemingly god-given and unnatural abilities. Democles is said to have been able to pick any pocket, roll the perfect hand of dice in a gamble, with some tales even citing him as a future-predictor. His deeds of misbehavior, luck, and recklessness echo on as he is worshiped by gamblers, thieves, or those in a poor patch of luck looking for a rise.
Khloros, the Vile, God of the Tomb — The most despised of the four Gods in Brennisian culture, Khloros was once a gravekeeper according to the ancient tales. Living for more than a century, it was said that everyone who had been alive at his time of birth was buried at some point during his longevity, many by his own efforts. A quiet and cold man, Khloros became immortalized after being the oldest living human not only in Forelle, but possibly the entire realm at the time. Ironically becoming a beacon to pray to for a long life and the delaying of death, Khloros himself is thought to be the one who reaps life, returning the people to dust when their inevitable time is over.
