Writing Worlds with Words

Gods of Ithia: The Seasonal Siblings.

Sun Jae. Goddess of Summer, Progress, and Motion. 

Known across the plane as Sun Jae, The Summer Queen, The Rolling Stone, The Hands of Time, The Fire Bringer, and The Motion. 

Her Symbol is the Summer Star – A large ring with spikes meant to resemble a sun, meant to be joined with her sibling’s symbols. Sits on the outside of the four divine symbols. 

Sun Jae is Sunkissed skin, fiery hair, a youthful goddess who embodies motion, movement, an overthrowing of the old or an outgrowing of traditions. She moves through the world leaving behind her fiery after images and the glimmering blur of gold and red. 

Sun Jae is energetic, excited, happy to be blessed with life. She never stops moving, she is heat which excites matter into movement. Sun Jae is almost always in conflict with her sister Aqel’Iath but gets along with her brothers. She grants her divine servants control over fire, blessing weapons in holy flame, protection from cold, magic to protect against binding and slowing, and power to combat melancholy.  

Aqel’Iath. Goddess of Winter, Tradition, and Rest. 

Known across the plane as Aqel’Iath, The Winter Queen, The Unmoved, The Hibernation, The Frostbringer, and The Keeper of Ways. 

Her Symbol is the Snowflake – A smaller snow flake shape which fits between Eshtur Mil’s symbol and Halm Ior’s.  

Aqel’Iath is all cold, icy beauty not of a living thing but of the most detailed mastercraft shaping ice. She has long windy hair like a raging blizzard, her dress made of shifting snow and ice crackles with every shift and motion.  

Aqel’Iath is calm, lethargic, and tends to procrastinate. Every motion is measured before performed, every action planned, every memory held sacred. She keeps things as they are, as they always have been, stable and safe forever more. She dislikes her sister but enjoys the company of her brothers. She grants her divine servants control over ice, blessing weapons in fridged frost, protection from heat, spells to bind and hold, power to root oneself, and power to instill a magically restorative stasis. 

Eshtur Mil. God of Fall and Night. 

Known across the plane as Eshtur Mil, The Dark Rider, The Fall King, The Nightlord, The Rider of the Moon, and The Moonlit Lord. 

His Symbol is the Eclipse– A medium sized circle shape which fits between Sun Jae and Aqel’Iath’s symbols.  

Eshtur Mil is as pale as the moon, his sunken eyes and black lips like shadowed craters. He is donned in blackened armor with black cloth draped over it. He avoids his brother when able but spends time with his sisters. He rides against his brother every day and drives away the light of day and instills the curtain of night.  

Eshtur Mil is a vicious, cunning, and patient god if he wasn’t dedicated to his duties, he might make a devious foe god but is content to rule the night across the plane. He grants his divine servants control over shadows, blessing armor to absorb light, protection from cold, summon pale moonlight mounts, and help instill deep sleep and quicken rest.  

Halm Ior. God of Spring and Day. 

Known across the plane as Halm Ior, The Spring King, The Morning Lord, The Sunbright, the Amber Cup, The Starburst, and the Dawn Star. 

His Symbol is the Rise– A small star shape placed in the center of his sibling’s symbols. 

Halm Ior is gold and marble carved into the likeness of a man, a halo is carved around him before tapering up into points, his eyes are pale amber bleeding light.   He is donned in armor of whiter and gold riding against his brother Eshtur Mil to bring forth the dawn. 

Halm Ior is prideful, righteous, and too smart for his own good. He doesn’t get along with Eshtur Mil but is content with his sisters and is dedicated to his duties. He grants his divine servant’s control over light, creating sourceless light to brighten areas, protection from heat, summon bright sunlight mounts, and help banish fatigue and weariness.
