Mylee
God of Creation and Life
God of Creation and Life
In the beginning, when there were only the three primordial entities that later matured into the pantheon, Mylee was the body from which the universe was formed. Technically, although He is the father of the universe, he is no more powerful than his peers. His humanoid form is extremely handsome, with fair skin, waist-length white hair, and steel grey eyes. He is very tall and muscular, and tends to have a stern expression. He is almost always seen in a lavender or violet uniform, with the Book of Life at his side.
In mythology, there are many stories about his ongoing arguments with Zepon, his brother.
Zepon
God of Evil, Destruction, and Death
God of Evil, Destruction, and Death
Zepon is the God who represents all the evil in the world; his existence is crucial to the balance of the universe, which has been maintained since its birth. He has a set of four horns in his humanoid form, which he sheds every year. He is unusually beautiful, chard-skinned and muscular. His hair is wild, shoulder-length and a mixture of red and black, and his eyes are the color of rubies. He usually looks rather smug, and wears a tattered cloak dyed dark red and blue black almost all of the time.
He is also associated with sacrifice, storms and wine. There are many myths involving his wild romance with Ai. He is the brother of Mylee. He is known for his mischievous nature.
Ai
Goddess of Love and Pleasure
Goddess of Love and Pleasure
Ai was worshiped mostly by men-before going into bars or events, the world of Dob’s youthful men say a short prayer to her in hopes of getting the most pleasure. Out of the entire pantheon, Ai is the most shockingly beautiful. Her skin, in human form, is whiter than milk, her hair is a long, ivory river, and her eyes are plaintive disks of silver. She is tall and curved like an hourglass. Her face is beyond any mortal man's desire and is always blissful.
In mythology, there are many stories about her ongoing love triangle with Mylee and Zepon, her lovers.
Vennessa
Goddess of Passion and Beauty
Goddess of Passion and Beauty
Vennessa is the most known in Dob-her beauty captured the hearts of nearly every mortal that laid eyes on her. In her humanoid form she is very attractive with cream skin, long, curly blonde hair, and sapphire eyes. She is of average height and slim, and is always seen wearing long, silky white cloth. However, she is at her happiest when wearing nothing at all, and is known to attract even the sternest of men with a blissful expression.
She was removed from the Realm of Heroes, shortly after the birth of the twin princes Sorrow and Pain, and was sent to live in Dob. She was brought back into the Realm of Hero’s shortly after being horribly murdered.
Saden
God of Knowledge
God of Knowledge
There is a shrine to Saden in almost every public library in the whole of Dob. Schoolchildren often say a prayer to him before important exams. In his humanoid form he is quite beautiful with tan skin, short, rippling black hair, and eyes of polished oak. He is of average height and hearty build, and has recently taken to looking very sad. He wears opulent robes dyed crimson.
Caster
Goddess of Chaos and Magic
Goddess of Chaos and Magic
Of all the pantheon, Caster is the least known, yet her beauty is never forgotten. Her skin is mocha, her hair long and lavender, and her eyes amethyst. She is tall, with a slim and slightly muscular build. Her face is emotionless and she wears a simple, long lavender dress. She is the one to give Dragons their magical abilities.
The Red Spirit
The Red Spirit
Spirit of the wild
Mainly a deity of the Bog Burglar Islands, this spirit takes the forms of many of the animals within the forest, be it deer, wolf, mouse or cat. The thing is its always a deep red; this spirit is the guardian of the Bog Burglars. The deity can be considered a good or bad omen; but generally if it shows up something of importance is about to happen. Hunters find that it leads them to good game when their family's have been wanting for food, or it leads them away from danger.

Religions
Followers of The Path
The Followers are, loosely put, cultist missionaries spreading their following as they travel. The Followers believe in Mylee as the only true God, and therefore are prone to avoid or persecute individuals aligning with other deities.
The Awakened Eye
Members of the Eye pay homage to Saden, but only as a posterity. Truthfully, an Awakened worships the concept of Saden-mastery of knowledge-and places little stock in outdated concepts like deities. Followers of the eye sometimes keep an object with the insignia of Saden's book with the Eye of Saden on the front cover as a token of both homage and personal dedication.
The Fortunae
The Fortunae call themselves enlightened in respect to other faiths, having abandoned the pantheon in favor of nature worship. Often the focus of aggression and criticism from both political and spiritual factions, the Fortunae are known to seclude themselves either intermittently or regularly and for extended periods of time. More devout followers bear the mark of the Leaf and Scroll on their chest or carry the symbol as a trinket on their travel pack.
The Seylen
The Seylen worship Zepon, father of all Demori. Seylen shrines depict Zepon in his transformed state surrounded by slain foes of all races. The Seylen not only demand adherence to ritual sacrament, but also require expression of brutality or disregard for fragile life from their members. Those within the Seylen not deemed strong or ruthless enough are often cast out after being ritually marred to guarantee rejection from all shrines.
Ai's Covenant
The Covenant represents Ai's physical qualities of beauty, passion, and fulfillment. The Covenant seeks to establish harmony amongst its members and their communities, though some sects have initiated this as a holy war, especially against the Seylen. Covenant members are typically known by their soft demeanor and their generosity. This faction is responsible for many of the charities in Dob. Devout worshipers often mark themselves with an image of a blind Seraphim in various depictions. Such a symbol is generally not carried as an object.
House of Agnos
Less of a faith than a label, a Dob claiming not to follow a faith or not sharing the beliefs of the prevailing factions is said to be "of the House of Agnos." Most within it do not use the label to describe themselves.
