New Gods of Atlazan

DEIONYCHE
Mother of All

Type.  New God
Alignment.  Neutral Good
Domains.  Life, City,
Portfolio.  Community, Readiness, Self-improvement, Acceptance, Protection
Symbol.  A couatl hovering over the silhouette of a home, wings wrapping in front in defense
Favored Weapon.  Staff

Deionyche stands as a relatively unknown god on the continent of Atlazan.  Almost all of her current worshippers are the archeons and the couatl.  It is unknown how long the goddess has been around and whether she was one of the great Heroes of old or not.  The members of her church claim noble, if unrealistic, goals though.  According to them, she seeks the re-unification of the races of Atlazan and the preparation of society against calamity.  What calamity can only be guessed at, however.


KOSNEUMA
The World Spectre

Type.  New God
Alignment.  Neutral
Domains.  Divination, Nature
Portfolio.  Portents, omens, spirits, the occult, ritual observances
Symbol.  Tree shaped scale, balanced with raven skull on one side and rabbit’s foot on other
Favored Weapon.  Dagger

There was once an ancient being known as Bregolad, an immense treant, who fought against the Demon Lords while the wrought their destruction across the land.  In battle with Xipe Totec, he was slain by a ritual-empowered bolt of lightning and burned for days before finally going out.  While the husk of what was once Bregolad rose up, a god of courage and survival, it is believed that much of the enduring spirit of the creature sank into the earth and grew to become Kosneuma.  Those who respect the ways of nature and respect the signs of the natural world pay homage to Koseuma.  Kolibri, especially, look for omens and read the bones and offal of creatures.  It is believed The World Spectre has a hand in these portents, seeking to inform the races of Atlazan on maintaining a healthy balance with the land in order to avoid disasters as small as a bad crop year and as large as the return of Demon Lords.



MO’I
The Weather Itself

Type.  New God
Alignment.  Chaotic Neutral
Domains.  Weather,  Nature, Chaos
Portfolio.  Storms, Weather, Wind, Natural Cycles, Unpredictability
Symbol.  Four symbols for the four seasons  in circle and separated by arrows moving clockwise
Favored Weapon.  Hand Ax or Gaff

Mo’i may or may not be an entity unto itself.  While the existence of such entities is never really verified by mortals, the talk of Mo’i is so vague as to suggest that it is simply weather.  Nevertheless, the kala’kai speak of Mo’i with such regard and respect that it is analogous to a god, at least.  Prayers and sacrifices are often made to Mo’i in ceremony and passing alike by the kala’kai.  The favor shown to farmers, fishers, and merchants of those people lead most other races to treat Mo’i as a true god.  In fact, many aeq’or who live near or with kala’kai turn to worshipin
