In an effort to keep my myths straight for my world, Nedera, which is part of a book I am working on, I am posting my mythology here for review and opinions.

Since I teach mythology, I have the experience of five different mythos in my mind and at my fingertips through literature. So, when I set out to create this pantheon and religion, I used them as references.

The first post will be the deities that are, in general, a part of Nedera's history, and then the list of deities that play a major part in the book in "current" history.

So here we go!

The pantheon of Nedera

Of the early eras:
~Caroyn - <the beginning, the Goddess of creation, the Great Mother, the Lady of Tears> Caroyn is the master creator of the universe all forces that govern it. She was before, she is and she will be. She has no origin as she has always existed. She has no definite form, as her many roles make it hard to create a solid image of her. Therefore, her temples are frequently quite simple in decoration, incense is constantly burned and in some of the more elaborate temples, the walls and ceiling have compartments open so that the building is opened to her all consuming presence.

~Bruslin - <First Father, First Created, Rod of Order> Caroyn's first creation, the first husband, the first companion. He reigns beside her, helping to maintain order out of all that she creates. He has very few temples, though the ones that exist are more frequented by those who seek to be public servants of order, such as law enforcers.

~Brithing - <First Born, Lady of Light, the Great Star, Goddess of Knowledge, Goddess of Magic> Brithing was the first child born to Caroyn and Bruslin. Her natural curiosity and desire to know everything around her, elevated her to the status of Goddess of Knowledge. All those who desire to know and learn are considered her children.

She is married to her brother, Talanoth. They have four children: Grasith and Darnya, and the twins Sierrelah and Moreviah. The Celestial Star and the quill are her symbols and gemstones are sacred to her.

~Talanoth - <Great Father, God of Life> Husband to Brithing, Talanoth's one major contribution to the universe is the creation of mankind for Nedera. He fashioned the women to be like Nedera and Brithing, and the men to be like himself and Morres. He spent the first era with man, walking among them, teaching them, nurturing them.

His symbol is the eternal circle and the dove is sacred. He is the second most worshiped deity on Nedera. His temples are decorated with the story of man's creation and the highlights of man's endeavors.

~Nedera - <Goddess of the Waters> Nedera is part of the quintuplet that was born to Caroyn after Bruslin declared her to not conceive again. She is the goddess of the waters and all things found within their boundaries. Caroyn took her domain and created the planet named after her that revolves around Brithing's Star.

She is the most beloved and worshiped deity on Nedera. Her temples vary in decor depending how close it is to a body of water. The art resembles the body of water nearest, be it swamp, river, lake or ocean.

Nedera, through misfortune has two children, Ferhvel and Deira, the results of the tears she shed after Delyn's mistreatment of her. Because of their nature, the two do not spend any time with Nedera. She is married to Morres. She has two children with him, set around her planet as the two moons of light, twins Nen and Mek.

~Tenmur - <Lady of Beauty> Tenmur is part of the quintuplet that was born to Caroyn after Bruslin declared her to not conceive again. Tenmur's realm is shared by her brother Serrah. Both are guardians of the element metal. Tenmur's domain is the precious metals, those used for adornment, decoration, offering, and commerce. Though Brithing is considered the most beautiful of the goddesses, Tenmur's domain and her beauty makes her the goddess of beauty, external and internal. She is a gentle spirit and loved by those who mine and shape gold, silver and platinum.

Tenmur is not married, nor does she desire to be. She has no official temple, but many who work or mine her metals have private shrines. She has been known to work alongside those most devoted, little to their knowledge. Women honor her privately, as she prizes humility in beauty more than anything else.

The silver mirror is her symbol. She has claimed nothing as sacred.

~Delyn - Lord of Storms Delyn is part of the quintuplet that was born to Caroyn after Bruslin declared her to not conceive again. The youngest of the five, he was also the troublemaker. He is always at odds with those around him and frequently, when things go wrong on Nedera, Delyn is blamed.

Delyn has two children born of his attack on Nedera. They are Ferhvel and Deira.

The cloud and bolt is his symbol and the bull is sacred to him.

~Serrah - Serrah is part of the quintuplet that was born to Caroyn after Bruslin declared her to not conceive again. He is Tenmur's counterpart, as he presides over the constructive metals - iron, copper, aluminum and tin, those that are needed for every day affairs. He is a largely built man, usually seen with smudges of soot and dirt on his skin. Like Tenmur, he is honored by those who mine and work the metals.

Weaponsmiths gather on certain days to worship Serrah. The ceremonies are very private.

The hammer is his symbol and he holds fire as sacred.

~Morres - Morres is part of the quintuplet that was born to Caroyn after Bruslin declared her to not conceive again. He is considered the god of stone and artisans of sculpture. He is the husband of Nedera.

~Grasith - God of Joy. Parents Talanoth and Brithing. His destiny and dominion was happiness and all things that brought joy to those who lived.

~Darnya - God of Love and Comfort. Parents Talanoth and Brithing. His smile created warmth; his laughter comfort.

~Ferhvel - God of Pain. Born as a result of Nedera's pain when she was assaulted by Delyn. He was born of shadow, not directly of Nedera's body.

~Deira - Goddess of Envy and Betrayal. Born as a result of Nedera's pain when she was assaulted by Delyn. She was born of shadow, not directly of Nedera's body.

~Sierrelah - Goddess of Peace. Twin sister of Moreviah. Born during the time of the great turmoil of Nedera's violation.

~Moreviah - Goddess of Hope. Twin sister of Sierrelah. Born during the time of the great turmoil of Nedera's violation.

~Nen - God of song and celebration. Twin brother of Mek. Son of Nedera and Morres after the world of Nedera healed her heart. They are set to revolve around Nedera.

~Mek - God of son of endurance and strength. Twin brother of Nen. Son of Nedera and Morres after the world of Nedera healed her heart. They are set to revolve around Nedera.

~Xerith - God of War. Born of Morres hatred of Delyn. Sprung from the rocks of his realm. Looks to Nedera as a mother figure.



Of the present:

~Helutha - High Goddess. Rules alongside Gorusco. She is often represented by the daystar.

~Gorusco - God of Occupation and Trade. Helutha is his wife. The hammer is his symbol and the White Stag is sacred to him.

~Morven - God of Magic. Morven appears as a tall man in his late 20s usually. He has blond hair and dark eyes. His dark gold robes are embroidered with sacred black runes that form a spell. The spell binds those who follow his ways and was put there to protect magic from Aberaith after her theft of magic Before. His symbol is the falling star and the rare Phoenix is sacred to him.

~Morven makes his home in Reflection Lake in the hill country. His palace is below the surface, on the bottom and the shores are sacred ground. The Dragon is also special, as they were the first to be given the gift of magic. Morven declared them to be his representatives in the world regarding magic and are magic's guardians.

~Reznof - God of War - Reznof appears as a man in his mid 30s, medium height and well built. He carries a sword on his back, made of silver and onyx. His symbol is the helm and the raptor is sacred to him. Somewhat of a loner, he is neither welcome by Helutha nor tolerated by Aberaith. Those between the two realms are indifferent.

~Thombin - God of Nature. Twin brother of Helutha. His symbol is moon.

~Aberaith - Goddess of Death and Ruler of the Dead. Her dwelling place is in the Nethsea, beneath fire hot sands. Her symbol is the Scythe and the Black Moth is her symbol.

Aberaith is only regarded as anything beneficial by the Nethseans, whom she adopted when they were cursed by Helutha.

~Fryste - Goddess of Love. He dwelling place is a palace between the Twin Lakes of the Icy Fryste Mountains.

~The Creation of Time as We Know It:


Before Nedera, before the stars, before the great Light Herself, Helutha, was a time of nothingness. Amidst this emptiness was Caroyn, the beginning, the Goddess of creation, the Great Mother and the Lady of Tears. No one knows how long she existed alone, ut at one point she decided that there should be more than her solitary existence. For a while she contemplated her own existence. What did she look like? What was it about herself that she wanted to pass down to her progeny?

Eventually, though, Caroyn decided upon just one new being - one that would provide her with companionship. She did this so that when the time came to create others, she would know exactly what to instill in them. So she created Bruslin, making him male and in return, the Great Father.

Caroyn and Bruslin existed as husband and wife for thousands of years, learning about each other. In that time, both of the gods discovered an intimacy that Caroyn had never foreseen. In time, she became pregnant, bearing Bruslin a daughter, whom he named Brithing. She was a shining light in the darkness of the nothingness, yet a mystery to Caroyn.

This was not how the Mother Goddess had decided to create the others who would keep her company. Yet, something stirred within her heart, and she declared that this was good. Brithing grew and with that growth, came an insatiable need to learn. Yet, there was nothing to learn and the emptiness in her daughter's spirit pained Caroyn.

Thus, Caroyn became the Creation Goddess. In her effort to find something for her daughter to love and enjoy, she set about to create the universe. The first thing Caroyn did was duplicate the very light that her daughter shone with and scattered it throughout the nothingness, creating the stars.

During this time, Caroyn bore another child, Talanoth, a son. Bruslin, seeing that his divine wife had bore another like himself was overjoyed. Though he loved his daughter Brithing, Talanoth put an end to a longing he had felt in his heart. Content, Bruslin declared the family complete, seeing the perfect balance between wife, husband and children.

After the birth of Talanoth, Caroyn went back to work, creating more for her daughter, as the stars had outlived their novelty. Caroyn decided to be more specific, and set about to create a star that would be different from all the others. She set the elements in motion, spinning them as her daughter looked on. Faster and faster they spun until the elements of heat, light, and energy became intertwined, clinging to each other desperately. The result was an enormous star that spun violently, as if an inner turmoil was constantly raging.

As the family enjoyed the new creations and each other, Caroyn once again became pregnant, to the dismay of her husband. This time, though, it was not one child, but several that she birthed. Nedera and Tenmur, daughters of water and metal; Morres, Delyn, and Serrah, sons of air, earth and metal.

Bruslin set these five children to forever circle the daystar that Caroyn had formed for their firstborn, as a lesson in submission. Serrah took his place closest to the daystar, where the heat was merciless. There he learned the craft of metal-working, as the tougher, practical metals were part of his domain.

Tenmur set herself next, further from the daystar, yet close enough to feel the intense heat of the star. Her realm burned of softer, yet more precious metals. Gold, silver, platinum surrounded her, and she learned to shape and form them. She created gifts for her family, designed ornaments and objects of beauty.

Though Nedera was the oldest of the quintet, she chose to stay in the middle of the group. Nedera, whose dominion was water, took her place after her sister. Her domain was neither too far nor too close to the violent star that shone with Brithing's light. She learned the ways of the element of water, finding its beauty and danger alluring. She alone longed for more than what her realm gave her.

Delyn, the youngest of the quintet, was also the one that was least settled. His realm was of air, an element of spontaneity and diversity. It churned, clashed and erupted constantly, storms popped up without notice. Delyn enjoyed antagonizing his siblings, especially Nedera, to whom he was neighbor.

Morres' realm was solid, strong and constant. The most sound of the five siblings, his realm was of rock and earth. Furthest from Brithing, he treasured her light, even though it was but a glimpse to him. Delyn and Morres were at constant odds.

It was after the birth of the quintet that Caroyn placed upon herself the inability to birth children. Instead, she concentrated on ordering about the universe and maintaining its balance. Together, with Bruslin, she reigned over those who had come to be. The stars obeyed, the realms cooperated and the family rested in the peace of what was.

~The Introduction of Darkness

For a time, the divine family of Caroyn lived together in peace. But, as Caroyn's children were born of intimacy and a true relationship between Bruslin and herself, so her children were prone to the very same feelings. Brithing, the oldest of the children was beautiful to behold. The stars that were made to reflect her light compared little to her real beauty.

Eventually, her brother, Talanoth came to see her beauty and felt a stirring in his heart as he watched her. Caroyn watched, but did not stop her son's advances on Brithing. Several times, Bruslin tried to prevent their love. He sent his son to herd the stars far flung from their abode, but he always returned, the stars having obeyed him perfectly. Time and time again, he tried to thwart the growing love, and each time he merely increased it.

Finally relenting, he grudgingly gave his blessing to his firstborn son and daughter. Talanoth was devoted to his sister and wife, never looking at his other sisters, though they were just as beautiful. To her, he had declared, did he belong. In time, Brithing gave birth to her first child and called him Grasith, as he brought her joy. His destiny and dominion was happiness and all things that brought joy to those who lived.

Next, she birthed Darnya, whose very presence lit up the faces of those around him. His smile created warmth; his laughter comfort and he embodied the very thing that had brought his parents together - love.

After Grasith and Darnya were born, Brithing conceived no more, yet it was not a sorrowful occasion. Her two sons were adored by Talanoth, who frequently stole moments when only he would have the children, playing with them.

Nedera watched her older sister with envy, yet without malice, as those things that were wrong or evil in the world that we know today had not yet been born. But Nedera accepted what fate she assumed to have and thought no more of it. Yet, in the secret places of the universe, Morres admired his sister, watching her from afar, never able to bring himself to admit to her his affection. Delyn knew and taunted his brother, even making advances on Nedera, though she refused him every time.

One day, Darnya approached his uncle with concern. He asked about the obvious affection that Morres had for Nedera and encouraged him to talk to her. Seeing his uncle reticent, Darnya used his power for the first time, instilling love's courage in Morres.

He waited until Brithing's light began in glow soft and silver before approaching Nedera. He came upon her stirring the waters of her realm, her hair draped down her body and eyes in concentration. He stood there, in awe of her, forgetting himself. Soon, Nedera realized that she was not alone in her realm and looked up to see her brother standing within her sight.

It was at that moment that Morres knew that he could love no other; not even Brithing, who was more beautiful than any other. He fell to his knees and called upon his sister, begging her to listen to his heart. He told her of his love for her, compared her to the stars that shone above. Though she felt as if she deserved it not, Nedera listened and her heart swelled in love for Morres.

Delyn heard of this and felt something foreign within him stir. He watched his brother worship their sister, in complete happiness. The whole display made him sick, as he felt that his brother did not deserve such happiness, nor was Morres acting in a respectable way. Talanoth loved Brithing, but he did not engage in such behaviours regarding her. He watched them in the times of silvery light and in times of great brightness.

This ate at him until he began to plot a way to teach his brother how to behave correctly regarding Nedera. One day, while Nedera was stirring the waters of her realm and Morres was gone, Delyn came upon his sister and took her by force. When he was done with her, he flung her into the waters of her world, laughing at the fortune that he had Nedera before Morres. He left her there, anguished and hurt, and tears entered the creation for the first time.

Morres returned to his love, only to find her weeping. Her tears, where they mingled with the waters, turned it bitter, and Morres knew he had to act fast. What little of her water that remained pure and sweet he cut off and separated by stone. He then went to his lover and held her, distraught and unable to imagine what would have made her cry.

As he held her, she cried, telling him of what Delyn had done to her. A shadow fell across creation, blotting out Brithing's light, as she spoke of his atrocity. Creation shook as she cried, and before the gods arose another from that shadow. It was then that pain entered the world and he called out his name so that all would know him - Ferhvel.

But Ferhvel was not alone in that shadow, for it began to grow darker, until another left its residence. This one was beautiful to behold, yet every heart instinctively knew her to be undesirable. She declared her name to creation, Deira, and brought betrayal and envy to poison its existence. Together, Ferhvel and Deira pushed the shadow, encouraging it to spread. Thus, Brithing's light was forced to shine brighter to overcome the darkness that had fallen upon the universe, tainting it and taxing the goddess.

For the first time, a god felt sorrow and Ferhvel roared in pleasure. Morres had to acknowledge that Nedera's firstborn were not his, but his brother's. Her tears had born creation's first blight and it hurt him that she would have to bear that knowledge all of their lives. It was at that moment that war entered creation, born of Morres' hate for his brother.

Up from the rocky shores that Morres himself had laid down in Nedera's realm, sprung a man. His eyes burned with bloodlust, his body strengthened for the fight. His brow was knit in thought, so great were his schemes. He stood upon that shore and knelt before his father, hand across his chest in submission, and Morres knew his name - Xerith. In that moment, war was declared between the realms of stone and air.

Taken aback by what had just occurred, Morres looked to Nedera unable to speak. Both gods sat in the water clinging to each other, devastated at what was now a part of their world. Caroyn had watched the development of darkness with trepidation, for this was not part of her plans. Her heart now broke for her children and she went to them, tears in her own eyes and held them both.

The bond between man and woman had been corrupted, changed and challenged by the actions of Delyn. His actions brought three new gods into her realm; gods she had known were possible, yet denied would ever come to be. Her children and husband had not shown the capacity to turn to the side of shadow, yet Delyn was weak enough to allow it to change him.

Amidst this, Brithing became pregnant again, much to her surprise. When it was time for her to give birth, great pain struck her, a pain she had never before experienced with Darnya and Grasith. As she screamed in pain, creation was given not one, but two children. Two daughters, perfect twins, brought their own light into the world. As Talanoth held them, and Darnya and Grasith attended their mother, the girls both reached out to touch their father's face. His heart settled and he knew who they were.

The firstborn daughter was Sierrelah, whose breath stilled his heart and he felt peace. The second, Moreviah, looked at her father, eyes shining and he felt hope. Hope that this was not all there was, hope that his brother and sister would find healing after this tragedy. He knew he held the very embodiment of peace and hope in his arms and rejoiced, knowing that Ferhvel, Deira and Xerith would not triumph after all.

Delyn was banished to his realm, where it churned even more at his denial of freedom. His children went with him, and there they plotted and the realm grew dark with storms.

~The Healing of Nedera

Brithing watched with concern as her sister's realm became turbulent. The deception, pain and betrayal that she had felt at the hands of Delyn ate at her spirit, and Brithing feared that she would waste away. Nedera's only comfort was Morres, who spent every moment with her. Even then, Brithing saw that Xerith held fast to his father, never leaving his side. He looked to Nedera as his mother, even though he knew she was not. If anything, that was what kept war in check, and Brithing knew some relief.

Reverently, Brithing approached her mother, concern etched on her face. As she relayed her observations, Caroyn nodded knowingly, but didn't know what her daughter thought needed be done. It was then that an idea formed and Brithing told her mother. The Mother Goddess smiled, acknowledging that she was right.

Caroyn's voice broke the silence of creation, the silence that was caused by the emergence of shadow. Her voice rang out with determination and power, causing even War to cower before her. And her words gave shape to the realms of her sons and daughters. Instead of an expanse, each realm became like Brithing's star, yet only Delyn's sphere remained in chaos.

Caroyn pulled some of Morres' realm into her creation of Serrah's world, causing his sphere to fold and settle, layers of metals sandwiched between layers of rock. Tin, Iron, aluminum, and copper bands gleamed in the fiery light of Brithing's star. Serrah looked in wonder, satisfied.

Moving on to Tenmur's realm, Caroyn once more pulled from Morres' plane, adding stone to the metal bands. Yet, to Tenmur's disappointment, her metals weren't as obvious as Serrah's. The gleam from their softer materials seemed more of a hint, not like the striated gleaming decorations of Serrah's domain. Knowing her daughter's disappointment, Caroyn walked upon the new world with Tenmur. She explained that though it seemed that her metals were fewer, they were worth more, for nations would rise and fall with that which she ruled over.

Tenmur looked at her mother confused, as she had never heard the term "nations" before. Yet, the goddess questioned her mother not, for she knew her mother was wise and would only reveal as much knowledge as needed.

Caroyn, happy that Tenmur was placated, ventured into Nedera's plane and hovered over the waters for a long time, contemplating what to do with her realm. The union of Nedera's element and rock had already taken place, the rock storing the sweet water and keeping it separate from the water tainted by Nedera's sorrow. Satisfied, she spun them together, making sure to keep the sweet separate from the bitter.

The sweet water became lakes, rivers and streams, while the bitter water surrounded the stone and earth. As she shaped the earth, she looked at Tenmur and Serrah. Both nodded and left, only to return with portions of their own worlds. Caroyn took those gifts and wove them into the land.

Brithing excused herself and went to Morres' domain. As she spun his element as she had seen her mother do for others, she began to pull the light from the stars. With each color received, Brithing struck the stone with it, creating the light of the stars in rock form. She stood back and admired how the light from her star at the center of her siblings' paths, little as it was from this far away, was amplified by her creation.

Before the final command that would turn Morres' realm into a world, she took out a portion to give to Caroyn as her gift for Nedera's world. Brithing gave the final command, sealing his place into creation, a sparkling world in the middle of the outer darkness.

Brithing rushed to her mother's side, knowing that she was close to completing Nedera's world. She presented her gift, its jewels radiating light now that she was closer to her star. Caroyn halted her progress, as she was just about to speak the words of sealing. She took her daughter's gift and added it to the work at hand. She spun it once again and spoke the final words.

As Nedera watched her realm transform, she felt the shadow retreat and her heart lightened. Morres, overjoyed, embraced her and both watched as the world came into its own. An amalgamation of her siblings' love, it brought a smile to her face. She walked upon the earth and rock, heard the rushing river and felt the warmth of Brithing's star upon her face.

Caroyn, satisfied, moved on to Delyn's world. Though she did not want to give him the satisfaction of an equality with his siblings, she knew that it was to be. As she began to spin the turbulent air into the shape of a planet, Delyn cried across the expanse of creation, complaining that he was not given the chance to gift his sister. Tenmur, incensed that her brother would make such a complaint, took her place before Nedera in an effort to shield her from Delyn's selfishness. Arguments began and Deira danced happily, feeding the distress of one sibling while strengthening her father's resolve.

Bruslin, tiring of the celestial bickering, called out in a loud voice, silencing all creation. He alone, it appeared, would examine this gift of Delyn's, as he knew that the element of air was needed on Nedera's world. Delyn prepared his gift and gave it to his father. Bruslin examined it for a time, taking it apart so that each individual elemental piece was safe from his deceit. Convinced it was safe, Bruslin handed Caroyn the gift.

She wrapped Nedera's world in the gift of air. The waters formed clouds that drifted high above the surface. The world swirled with several shades of white and grey as the clouds traveled the expanse of the sky. Nedera smiled beneath them and held out her arms wide, beckoning the water to return to the surface. And return it did, in the form of droplets that lightly spattered on her skin. Thus, the water element learned to form above the land and then return to the surface of the planet.

Caroyn, moved by her daughter's happiness, decided that now was the time to continue creation as she had envisioned it long ago, before her children, before her husband. She walked upon Nedera's planet and spoke boldly to it, singing the song of beginning that were a mystery to everyone but herself. Slowly, color began to emerge. At first it was green that showed its face; small, slender blades pushed up through the surface, covering nearly every inch of the new soil.

Caroyn sang encouragingly. She walked in the valleys, and called the sweet water plants into existence. She climbed the mountains and called the great evergreens and scrub trees to grace the snow-covered land. Upon the hotter, drier places, where the soil was scorched into sand, she shaped the water bearing plants, tall, strong and dangerous. Where the heat of Brithing's star was hottest and most direct, she called for dense forests of unimaginable size. The flatlands became large grassy plains flanked by rivers and forests of broadleaf trees and shrubs.

Caroyn called to Brithing to create the flowers using the light of the stars. Everywhere the goddess went, petals whorled and stretched, adding color to the plants. Brithing occupied, Caroyn began to sing a different song, lyrics of life that had never been heard. It was then that animals sprung from the world. Some swam in the waters, some flew through the sky, while others ran across the plain and climbed the craggy mountains.

Everywhere Nedera looked, life danced to a blessed beat. And she danced with it, her heart healed of her sadness and pain. She pulled Morres into the dance and they danced until Brithing's star slipped beneath the planet's horizon.

Thus, night and day came into creation. Nedera and Morres slept in a field of soft grass and yellow flowers, content. A short time later, Nedera gave birth to twin sons: Nen, son of song and celebration and Mek, son of endurance and strength. Both boys were a delight to their parents and completed Nedera's healing, giving her the reassurance that she could birth goodness. She set them to forever dance around her and her world, great reflection of Brithing's light upon the planet in the times of night. Though equals, there were times when one brother was more visible than the other. But that was the way it was to be.

In all the excitement and healing, no one remembered that Talanoth had not contributed to his sister's world. But that was the way he wanted it, for he wanted his gift to be perfect and good. Nor did anyone notice the shadow that descended onto Nedera's world on the first moonless night, when Nen and Mek slept.
