	Master of the Domain of Mist, [[Sieben]] is a fickle and feckless god. Sieben is as insubstantial as his Domain, and his appearance is as a hardened young man obscured by a great fog. He is a master of changing shape, and his forms are so masterful that they do even fool the other gods. Sieben works to foster chaos, and he frequently creates havoc among the mortals -- he is father of trickery and deceit. He is also father of the [[Ocular]]; Sieben created that race and bid them further his ends in the world. The [[Sruhos va Tlo'oe]] burned and died at his hand. It is Sieben that plunges brother's dagger into brother's back; it is Sieben that destroys ships with his fogs; it is Sieben that burns the army's supplies. Sieben's planet is [[Estrilda\|Avieben]].

	[[Eimeuz]] controls the Domain of Wood. It is Eimeuz that led our people to sea; he is the God of Ships. Eimeuz constructed a great fleet by himself and sailed across the sea of stars; many of his ships can still be seen in the night sky. The Builder it was the taught the arts of sailing and building to our people. When the Journey of Xin'Alaudas was complete, it was the Lord of Wood that gave his ship to return the Founder to Albaria. Eimeuz is especially fond of the forests, and he defends them from destruction -- the evergreens are his children. The Builder is a giant, more than two and a half times the height of even the tallest Gorbesh. His planet is [[Eimarqe]]. His symbol is a ship.		[[Eimeuz]] controls the Domain of Wood.

	With his Domain of Bone, [[Xosiurion]] is the God of Dragons. The creator of those mighty beasts, Xosiurion rules over the dragons with a mighty fist, and with them he stands high in domination over the world. For ages, he was the undisputed master of the gods, clad in his armor and helm of drake's bone. Many legends and stories surround the mythic battle between Xosiurion and [[Xin'Alaudas]], prior to the Emperor-God's Ascension. The Bone God and the Founder battled for eighteen days before the gates of [[Duvarqe]], neither giving any ground nor showing any weakness. But on the nineteenth day, Xosiurion began to weaken. The Lord of Bone employed every power he had within himself, drawing upon all his greatness as he struggled to defeat Xin'Alaudas. For eighteen days more the two fought on, Xosiurion assuming the form of a dragon -- the Founder fought on. After thirty-six days, the contest was ended, the Dragon God beaten and humbled. Following the battle, Xosiurion and Xin'Alaudas spilled their blood and sealed themselves to each other as brothers. The thirty-six song Duvarqe Cycle, written by the Great Bard [[Namixeq]] details the battle between the two deities. His planet is [[Xosedas]]. His symbol is a dragon skull.

	Her Domain being Spirit, [[Orisas]] is the mightiest and most venerated goddess. Known as the Ghostly Mistress, Orisas' name is true and her Domain does represent her well -- the Lady is no more than an incoporeal soul, pale and ethereal white. Clutched in her ghastly hands, the only physicality about her, is a brightly shining globe, the Kaneija. The Kaneija, a snowglobe, holds within it a vast field of ice, and in the center, a city of bright life. The Lady of Spirit takes the souls of the dead and dying Gorbesh within the Kaneija, and for that she is revered -- Orisas offers the home of the dead. The [[Meumos Prophecies]] tell us that when the time of [[Ilaehl]] comes, she will throw down her globe in a fury, and the Kaneija will shatter into a million spears of light. The spirits of the Gorbesh will be freed from their eternal home and will arm themselves with the spears of light, and the Ghostly Mistress will lead the armies of the dead in battle.

	The Domain of [[Sraxaec]] is Blood; pure, red, and fresh. Born from the newly-let blood of [[Sraxeiven]], from whom he takes his name, Sraxaec gave life to the peoples of Albaria. It is Sraxaec that brings new life into the world; the screaming babes from Sraxaec do come. He is the master of healing, and it is he the mortals look to when faced with illness and dying -- his favor is sought then with the appropriate offerings to his Domain. Fire courses through the veins of the eternally young Sraxaec, and it is said his blood offers eternal life. After the defeat of Xosiurion, and the brotherhood of the Dragon King and Xin'Alaudas, Sraxaec filled a goblet with his blood, and from that the Founder did drink -- his body burst into flames. The God of Life especially favors those wounded in battles, and he will frequently ride with the armies during the Prime Year, to bestow blessings of life upon the warriors. In the words of the Meumos Prophecies it is written that in the time of Ilaehl, Sraxaec's head will be severed; his blood will stain the earth, and set fire to the icy lands of Albaria. His head will regrow, and Sraxaec will bring new life onto the changed land. His planet is [[Sidasas]]. His symbol is a burning torch.		The Domain of [[Sraxaec]] is Blood; pure, red, and fresh.

	With her Domain of Fire, [[Merion]] is the most favored of all goddesses save Orisas. Merion is the protector -- her flames bring safety, warmth, and comfort. Merion is a kindly mother; she nurtures her children in the light of her fires. She is, like her husband Tieheq, a great warrior, and she will brutally fight to defend the Gorbesh peoples. It is Merion that devised the arts of Forging; with her Fire and Tieheq's Iron, the two did make great weapons. Merion's blessing is called for by blacksmiths and warriors alike; she rides at her husband's side in battle. It is the Lady of Fire that slays Misiumos to bring a reprieve from the ice and snow to Albaria; the battle of the sisters is told in the Miuhl Cycle. Her planet is [[Maeben]]. Her symbol is a flaming anvil.		With her Domain of Fire, [[Merion]] is the most favored of all goddesses save Orisas. Merion is the protector -- her flames bring safety, warmth, and comfort.

	Possessing the Domain of Storm, [[Aniek]] is the cruel Goddess of Destruction. While Tieheq is fierce and Merion is determined, Aniek is vindictive and spiteful; she ruins for the sake of ruination. Her rages are unimaginable, as she disturbs the land with her tornadoes and blizzards and lightnings. Aniek tried desperately to kill the young Xin'Alaudas, afloat in the sea -- she failed, and her anger assailed Albaria for a month. Aniek is not all bad, though. It is said that she battled against the White Wind of the [[Shaerek]] for eighteen days to allow the Empire to reach [[Il'in Sius]]. The two ended the match in a draw, neither able to secure a victory. While all ships bear seals of Eimeuz, the ships of raiders also bear those of Aniek; raiders, so much like the Storm Mistress' blazing lightning, have earned her favor and protection. Aniek and Sieben are hateful enemies -- either would do much to destroy the other. Aniek's planet is [[Aneus]]. Her symbol is three bolts of lightning.

Potters and sculptors hold special places in the heart of Aliesa; with their art, they utilize her Domain -- every creation is a tribute to the Lady of Clay! Aliesa is the most peaceful of all the gods -- it is she that watches over truces and treaties. But, she is a great warrior with the fury of a mother; her palace is decorated with statues so lifelike of the enemies she has killed. Some say that she creates the images of her vanquished with great effort; others say that those killed by Aliesa are transformed, eternally frozen in stone in their death throes.
