The Gods

The Anuric Pantheon
Though there are many gods in the world called Arc Arjet, the most-commonly worshiped gods (especially on the continent of Barram) are the deities of the Anuric Pantheon.

These deities refer to themselves as Anur, a Shevrandi term meaning “guardian.” The Anuric pantheon consider themselves guardians of the mortal races against evil gods and infernal beings, and often walk amongst mortals in their avatar forms.

It is believed by some scholars that the Anur actually inspired the language spoken in the Sevenfold Empire of Shevrandt; all of the Anur prefer their Shevrandi names, and the language is used for ecclesiastical purposes for prayers and sacred writings. However, it is also possible that, as the oldest civilization on Barram, the giants of Shevrandt were simply the first to give names to the Pantheon, and their ancient language was spoken by the earliest priests of the Pantheon.

The eleven Anur are:

Kanaste, goddess of birth and community

Haanoc, god of travel and song

Bornaon, god of the sun and nobility

Darja, goddess of magic and knowledge

Veymaa, god of water and healing

Rekmaa, goddess of air and destruction

Fiera, goddess of the greater moon and law

Aanelustre, god of the lesser moon and time

Komate, god of earth and beasts

Ghette, god of void and death

Pynaa, god of dream and memory
