Pantheon Overview
The Pantheon of Mythralune: The Everspire Court
In the beginning, there was only Aurenos, god of arcane breath and radiant thought. From his longing for form and meaning came Elyndra, goddess of memory and creation, who danced into being from the first idea he ever spoke. United, they shaped Mythralune, breathing life into the world and forging the stars from their dreams.
Together, they gave rise to the Everspire Court—gods and goddesses who embody the many facets of mortal experience: love, wildness, shame, death, longing, and more. Yet even among divine beings, emotions stirred. Passion gave way to desire, secrets birthed sorrow, and their stories shaped the rhythms of the world.
The Founders
- Aurenos — God of Magic, the First Thought
- Creator of the world.
- Embodies raw arcane potential and the pursuit of mastery.
- Stoic, distant, yet intimately tied to all magic.
- Elyndra — Goddess of Memory and Creation, the Weaver of Echoes
- Shapes the past into story and the future into form.
- Beloved by artists, architects, and mothers.
- Sees time as a living tapestry.
The Passionate and the Dreamers
- Selaveth — Goddess of Passion, Midnight, and the Moon
- Created the elves from starlight and emotion.
- Her love is both nurturing and devastating.
- Worshipped by lovers, artists (including bards), and those who walk under moonlight.
- Thalor — God of the Sea, Tides, and Stormsong
- Primordial and ancient, but not a creator of gods.
- Had a fated tryst with Selaveth during a lunar eclipse.
- Naelir — God of Daydreams, Stars, and Desire (their child)
- Represents the ache of longing and the beauty of distant wonder.
- Patron of dreamers, poets, and stargazers.
- Said to whisper truths into sleeping minds.
The Trueborn Twins
- Virelyn — Goddess of Death, Silence, and the Last Light
- Born of Aurenos and Elyndra in stillness.
- gentle and inevitable presence, never cruel.
- Mourned and revered in equal measure.
- Fenros — God of the Wild, Fey, and Beasts
- Twin to Virelyn, wild and unpredictable.
- Revels in chaos, instincts, and primal balance.
- Patron of druids, shapeshifters, and tricksters.
The Dancer of Temptation
- Ziralei — Goddess of Carnal Desire, Shame, and Dance
- Embodies both indulgence and the sting of consequence.
- Neither wholly kind nor cruel—she reflects hidden truths.
- Her rituals are ecstatic, provocative, and revealing.
Churches
- Aurenos — God of Magic, the First Thought
- Church: The Order of the First Thought
- A monastic and arcane order focused on silent contemplation, mastery of magical law, and the pursuit of higher understanding. Members uphold strict discipline and rarely speak, believing silence allows the Second Thought to surface.
- Selaveth — Goddess of Passion, Midnight, and the Moon
- Church: The Lunar Ember Chorus
- An emotional and expressive faith practiced by artists, dancers, lovers, and seers. Worship centers around performance, confession, and the vulnerable sharing of one’s heart beneath moonlight. Temples double as sanctuaries and cultural centers.
- Fenros — God of the Wild, Fey, and Beasts
- Church: The Circle Unbound
- A decentralized network of druids, beastfolk, and primal wanderers. The Circle rejects formal temples, preferring sacred groves, dens, and migratory rituals. Worship is intuitive, wild, and connected to the pulse of the natural world.
- Elyndra — Goddess of Memory and Creation
- Church: The Archivists of the Blooming Word
- A serene and scholarly order devoted to preserving history, memory, and all acts of creation. Worship is centered around transcription, storytelling, and sacred recordkeeping. They believe forgetting is a form of death and that memory must be honored, even when painful. Temples are living libraries filled with art, gardens, and whispered lore.
- Virelyn — Goddess of Death and the Last Light
- Church: The Lantern Keepers
- An austere and reverent faith that guides souls into the beyond. Followers act as death-guides, midwives to the afterlife, and protectors of stillness. Worship includes candlelit vigils, last rites, and silence as sacred observance. Their sanctuaries are quiet, lantern-lit halls where the veil is thin, and sorrow is treated with dignity.
- Naelir — God of Daydreams, Stars, and Desire
- Church: The Celestial Reverie
- A dreamlike and fluid order composed of mystics, poets, astronomers, and wanderers. Temples are observatories and sanctums of fantasy, often built into cliffs, towers, or floating isles. Worship is expressed through stargazing, lucid dreaming, and ritual storytelling. Devotees seek divine truths through yearning and imagination, not logic.
- Ziralei — Goddess of Carnal Desire, Shame, and Dance
- Church: The Scarlet Veil
- A provocative, secretive cult dedicated to raw vulnerability, sacred eroticism, and emotional reclamation. Rites are performed in masked gatherings, and worship includes dance, confession, and ecstatic release. The Scarlet Veil teaches that shame is a wound placed by others—and that true divinity is found by owning one’s body and desires.
- Thalor — God of the Sea, Tides, and Stormsong
- Church: The Deep Canticle
- A seaborne faith practiced by sailors, tidecallers, and storm-priests. Temples are often ships, coastal caverns, or stilted shrines. Worship includes tide rituals, sea burials, and songs offered to calm (or summon) the storms. Followers view the ocean as both womb and grave—a divine memory that cannot be tamed, only honored.
