The Pantheon of Gods on Gondar is not hugely extensive. Below
are listed some of the most important Gods with their human names. Other
gods are worshipped by other races.
Coper - God of the White Sun, God
of Thunder, Communication, Beta Summer
Humans believe that the white sun is the embodiment of Coper
circling his lost love, Gondar, for eternity. Thunder is made from the
sound of his flail as he chastises himself in repentance. Thunder is believed
to be a message to the world, an expression of his power and his frustration
at his loss. It is through this frequent communication of his pain, that
Coper has also become the god of communication. His is the god of beta
summer simply because that is when the white sun is at its zenith.
Helios - God of the Red Sun, God of War, Alpha Summer
Humans believe that the red sun is the embodiment of Helios
and he too circles his lost love, Gondar. He is believed to have been quick
to temper and in some quarters he is attributed the blame for starting
the fight with his brother. The red sun is the hotter of the two suns and
alpha summer scorches the earth when it comes.
Khara - Goddess of the White Moon, Goddess of peace
Khara and Gondar were very close sisters. Out of love for her
sister, she has determined to remain by her side for all time and to ensure
that she rests in peace and tranquillity. The white moon is, therefore,
worshipped as the embodiment of Khara, Goddess of Peace.
Preta - Goddess of Love
The gatherer of life, Preta is attributed with the care of
love in all its forms on Gondar; passionate, unrequited, selfish. For it
is from Khara’s love for her sister that all life is drawn.
Quetass - Goddess of Evil and Darkness
Quetass, the Earth Tearer, is attributed with all that is evil
and dark within the hearts of men. She expresses her fury at her imprisonment
through shaking the earth causing earthquakes and the explosion of mountains
(volcanos).
Bratar - God of the Blue Planet and of Sadness
Bratar fell victim to his passions. He fell in love with a
beautiful faerie but could only be with her by giving up his powers. He
spent blissful years with her but she died in child birth, with Bratar
unable to help heal her pain because of his lack of power. In his anguish
at the loss of his love once more he exiled himself to orbit Gondar alone.
Rendast - God of the Air
Rendast, is a former lover of Preta. Once she had bought life
to Gondar she realised that the heat of the anger between the twin suns
was to great to sustain it. She persuaded Rendast to cast a protective
blanket around Gondar; a blanket of air.
Llendew - God of the Skies and the Seas.
Llendew was Gondar’s faithful servant, who resolved to serve
his lady for eternity notwithstanding her demise. He ensures that she is
cleansed and soothed by the seas and the rains.
Yanook - God of Tricks
Yanook is ambitious and enjoys tricks and pranks of all kinds.
He enjoys schemes and tactics, jokes and japes of all kinds.
Brell - God of Sleep and Story telling
Brell is the most placid of the gods. He gives temporary
peace to those who suffer by day. Each night he comes to Coper and Helios
and tells them a tale to make them drowsy. They fall asleep and escape
from the pain of the loss of Gondar.
Asher - God of Twilight
Asher is a particularly artistic and creative god, who creates
beautiful paintings in the sky each morning, to wake Coper and Helios from
their slumber, and each night to calm them so that Brell can entice them
into sleep.
