The Realm of Alteria
Dieties
Within the vast expanses of the universe, there exist higher beings. From the Dual Spirit, to the Pillars, to the Gods, there exist a multitude of forces greater than man.
Gods of the Realm
The Gods are the lowest, and least powerful of the Deities of Alteria. This, in no way, implies that their power is to be disregarded. The Gods, even at their least powerful, are yet leagues above the strongest of men.
Pillars of the Realm
The Pillars are primordial beings, the most powerful deities in existence, barring the Dual Spirit. Each represents a core emotion or concept, essential to life, civilization, and the world as we know it.
The Gods
Dorna, Goddess of the Oceans and the Depths
Dimidias, God of War
Cael, God of the Sky
Ara, Goddess of Nature
Zaltha, God of Space and Time, Guardian of Worlds
Vitae, Goddess of Life
Vanam, God of Death
Osidielle, God of Light
Ihdall, God of Freedom and Balance
Daxos, God of Darkness, Secrets, and Plots
The Pillars
Pillar of Purity
An undefiled maiden, a sacred mind
A innocent lamb, a forsaken child
An old priest, a woman demure
A princess abashed, her body obscured
Pillar of the Infinite
The watcher, the guardian, the protector of all
To guard us against our prophesied fall
He is the Pillar, the being unending
He is boundless, eternal, our savior ascending
Pillar of Love
The mother of life, to guard against hate
She guides us all to a blissful fate
Fingers entwined, hands clasped together
Two become one, now and forever
Pillar of Morality
Two paths set before a man
Keeper of worlds, or scourge of lands
A choice given, to one and to all
A choice made, to rise or fall
Pillar of Chaos

Pillar of Ruin
Through the ashes of the lonely wastes
Though the broken city gates
Through the eons, to the end of life
The bringer of eternal, unending strife
Pillar of the Unseen
Oh, foolish wanderer, behold
The realm of evil, malice fortold
The realm of that you cannot see
But look, foolish wanderer, into me
Pillar of Fury
A scream of hate, a yell of rage
With blood and tears, the war is waged
A grieving widow, a weeping mother
A sobbing sister, a mourning brother
Pillar of Vengeance
The gears of war will grind and ring
And in men's hearts hate burns and stings
The time has come to clash and fight
Draw your sword and bring dawn to eternal night
Pillar of Knowledge
