Byelobog is an an ancient deity whose name translates simply into “White God” in a long-forgotten language. He is married to Dzydzilelya and it is said that Czernobog is either he brother or his shadow.

Much like his brother/reflection Byelobog, Czernobog’s name means “Black God” in an ancient language. He opposes everything his brother stands for, and is constantly attempting to undermine society while revelling in the chaos and misery that follows. In human societies he is especially the patron of criminal organizations, while many hags woship him and symbollically take him as their husband. It is said he is the creator of owbs, and many owbs and dark folk worship him.

Many eons ago Dzydzilelya was a goddess of clouds and rain, but all of that changed when she and Byelobog fell in love and married. She relocated from the Plane of Air to Heaven with him to build their divine realm, the Royal Arches. As patroness of mothers, children, and family, Dzydzilelya is the epitome of all feminine grace and arts. Her priestesses must be female, and many are of noble or royal blood, though this is not a requirement like it is for her husband.
Marzyana
N goddess of winter, death, and spring growth

Sacred Colors: Green, Yellow, Blue
Sacred Animals: None (Daffodils)
Domains: Death, Destruction, Plant, Water, Weather
Subdomains: Catastrophe, Decay, Growth, Ice, Seasons, Storms
Realm: None, wanders the planes
A goddess of the change of the seasons, along with the inevitable death and rebirth it pressages, Marzyana wanders the planes as a peripatetic deity. Some believe she is the literal daughter of Byelobog and Dzydzilelya. Others believe that she their metaphorical daughter, because she was formed from the cast off “wild” side of Dzydzilelya when the latter goddess married Byelobog. Most of her priests are druids rather than clerics or other types of divine spellcasters.
Orlouge
CE Eldest of debauchery, misrule, and self-indulgence
Symbol: Green and purple thistle flowers arranged in a bouquet
Favored Weapon: Morningstar
Sacred Colors: Green, Purple
Sacred Animals: None (Thistles)
Domains: Chaos, Evil, Liberation, Nobility
Subdomains: Corruption, Revelry, Self-Realization, Whimsy
Realm: Chateau Aiguille, Facinaturu, First World
Orlouge, called the Charm Lord, is the ruler of the First World coterminous with Jaymedae (the campaign world’s name). His kingdom, Facinaturu, covers this entire area and he is consequently one of the most powerful Eldest. Set to watch over Facinaturu by the gods in ages past, when they abandoned the First World Orlouge also abandoned his responsibilities, coming to see his charge as existing only for his own personal (and increasingly depraved) enjoyment. His followers in the mortal world are often small, secret cults of nobles who abandon their responsibilities for lives of luxuries and hedonism.
Pekelnybog
CN god of the underworld, lizards/serpents, and the deep earth
Symbol: A copper or red snake tied in a knot
Favored Weapon: Spiked Chain
Sacred Colors: Red, Orange, Brown
Sacred Animals: Lizards, Basilisks
Domains: Earth, Fire, Repose, Scalykind, Water
Subdomains: Ancestors, Caves, Flowing, Petrification, Psychopomp, Rivers
Realm: Nyosian Deeps, Boneyard
A chthonic deity of caves, lava, and underground lakes and rivers, Pekelnybog is also the caretaker of the souls of the dead. Though famously temperamental in many other matters (many attribute earth tremors to his displeasure), he is usually fair when judging the dead- though occasionally his opinions can be swayed with a bribe or a clever bit of flattery. Pekelnybog favors lizards and basilisks, and often appears as an enormous copper-scaled basilisk. His priests are usually hermits who dwell in caves or who are lone caretakers of graveyards.
Rosvodiz
CN god of untamed magic, mysteries, and stars
Symbol: A white sun with a dark rampant dragon inside
Favored Weapon: Two-Bladed Sword
Sacred Colors: White, Yellow, Silver, Black
Sacred Animals: None (Dragons [esp. Outer & Esoteric Dragons])
Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Madness, Magic, Void
Subdomains: Arcane, Entropy, Insanity, Protean, Star, Truth
Realm: Gwiazda Rosvodiza, Material Plane
So mighty was the divine dragon Rosvodiz’s power that, at the beginning of the cosmos, the other gods had to bind him within a star lest the explosive arcane energy he constantly released lay waste to the new creation. He is imprisoned there still, in a state between waking and slumber, his dreams and half-thoughts spawning new magic, strange dragons, proteans, and countless other wonders. Rosvodiz’s worship is a private, occult, and typically solitary affair. His followers are sometimes scholars of the arcane and occult, while others are doomsday cultists who want to release his world-destroying power.
Three Mighty Farmers (Kremara [Pigs], Kurwaihin [Sheep], Ratainycia [Horses])
CG, NG, and LG gods of agriculture; esp, pigs, sheep, and horses- NG as base alignment for trinity
Symbol: A garland of flowers around a triple bust of a pig, a sheep, and a horse.
Favored Weapon: Pitchfork (Trident)
Sacred Colors: Brown, Green
Sacred Animals: Pigs, Sheep, Horses
Domains: Animal, Community, Good, Protection, Weather
Subdomains: Agathion, Cooperation, Friendship, Fur, Purity, Seasons
Realm: Auld Farm, Nirvana
The Three Mighty Farmers are a trinity of gods, always worshiped together, with dominion over agriculture and animal husbandry. Each appears as an anthropomorphic animal: garrulous, short-tempered, and pig-headed Kremara; shy, simple, and sheep-headed Kuwaihin; stuffy, pedantic, and horse-headed Ratainycia. Despite their foibles each of the gods is well-intentioned and loves their followers as a family. The Three Mighty Farmers’ priests are usually only drawn from peasants and common folk, but the odd nobleman who loves horses can sometimes be found among them.
Walgino
LE god of cattle ranching, commerce, and usury
Symbol: A stylized cattle head consisting of an inverted triangle below a horizontal line with upturned edges
Favored Weapon: Light Flail
Sacred Colors: Gray, Yellow
Sacred Animals: Steers
Domains: Evil, Healing, Law, Travel, Trickery
Subdomains: Corruption, Devil, Greed, Medicine, Slavery, Trade
Realm: Velesine Stockyards, Dis, Hell
The younger brother of Byelobog, Walgino began as a god of cattle and ranchers, but over time he became poisoned with greed. Though he still has some association with cattle, he has become a more general god of commerce, banking, and usury. Walgino has great intelligence, which he uses to draw up binding, but confusing, contracts that invariably benefit only himself. He represents the envious gaze of the monied middle class upon the genuine aristocracy represent by his brother, and most of his followers are from this class of people.
