[QUOTE="Galethorn, post: 1792578, member: 7888"] I just made up words; here are the 'true' (as in 'actual names they would respond to if asked') names of my deities, who are worshipped together in a small pantheon, known simply as The Four... Uru; the now non-existant deity who created the universe, and The Four. Urui; the self-proclaimed leader of The Four, who rules the sky (and consequently storms), who is commonly known as Tyr. He created the Nayr (a race of 'sub deities'), then later the race of humans. Yril; the mother-goddess, who is actually the world itself (hence the setting being called Yril), whose common name is Sylvanna. She created all the plants and animals (not including humanoids/homonids). Dorod; the god of craftsmen, who created dwarves, and is commonly known as Dorn (or Dorûn by the dwarves). He rules over the mountains and stones of Yril but not her fertile surface or fiery heart. Lyri; the maiden-goddess, who created the elves and fey, and rules over the worlds' seas. She is also credited with the creation of giants, but they were technically Dorod's creation, as they were originally dwarves. Most humans know her simply as the Moon Maiden. [/QUOTE]
