Gentry

  The Spring Goddess: She who brings the spring and drives off winter storms, or so she says. She used to be most benevolent, but has grown increasingly basing her self-confidence off of worshippers and has grown demanding   The Duke In Thunder: One of the few to make personal appearances, The Duke in Thunder is lord of fire, earthquakes, lightning, and war. His cult is the most military, and he has been eager to test the power of his followers on a valid target. He is also known as the God of Trolls.   The Mountain Queen: Goddess of stone, earth, and the dead. She was a very vocal proponent of the caste system, and used it and a religious doctrine of fear to create a strict, ordered society. It felt clean, stable, functional. She has begun sulking since the fey queen's intervention and grown bitter.   The Eagle King: Lord of rain, skies, birds, and omens, the eagle king is deeply proud and vain. He has grown to see himself a natural lord of all he sees and is deeply imperious (and sometimes violent if told no). He punishes those he feels are unworthy and keeps only to his prophet-priests.   The Bronze Empress: lady of forges, creator of the world, and master of artisans, she has molded a mountain into a volcano-palace inhabited by her greatest metallic monsters and creations. She constantly drives her followers to build bigger and better, and sees mastery of technology and nature as the key for mortal fey self-sufficiency   The Sea King: A reclusive deity of sea and travel who was least on board with castes, he enjoys seeing his people travel, trade, and learn. He feels personal pride showing foreign delegations his people, who he dotes on rather selectively (but is generally kind of forgetful)   The Lady in the Mirror: A mystical goddess of magic, knowledge, and dreams, the Silvered One uses dreams and visions to try and hand-hold rulers into adopting technology, learning magic, and having correct knowledge of the world. She has a small handful of very close followers who she trusts to helicopter over   The Sun in Rags: Lord of the sun and most humble of the gods, the sun in rags is the god of joy, order, and light. He is the only god with a philosophy: to accept your station, find peace with what you have, and always seek joy. He helped design the caste system but has used his own philosophy to cope with being dunked.   The Moon Queen: Lady of Moon and Stars, who prefers to socialize with the rest of the pantheon to the work of guiding mortals. The least concerned with mortal affairs and most hands-off.
