Estelley as a Religion has one unified Pantheon, but not all Gods are treated equal. At the head of the Pantheon are the three Empresses, of which there have only ever been three, and there will always be three. Then come the Ordained, which are Gods that either joined willingly or were conquered during the Ruindawn. Finally, there are the Vowed which similarly joined willingly or were conquered, but who are not considered unquestioningly loyal to the Empresses. As a result, while worshiping the Empresses and the Ordained is mandatory for the religion, worshiping the Vowed is optional. One can worship a single Vowed God, a few, or none at all, it all depends on the person's personal preferences. Note, because a lot of art on this page is still in development, old placeholders are put in place. Do not for the time being refer to these old images for aesthetic inspiration (the temporary images have black borders).
The Empresses
Cemaan, Empress of Power.
Talea, Empress of War.
Sapphora, Empress of Love.
Bard (pronounced Bard) is the god of justice and leader of the Eili. As god of justice, he is responsible for the sense of fairness and the rule of law among the faithful, he also acts as divine judge for those who have transgressed and puts curses on those who require punishment. Bard together with Helskorn is responsible for the Svartskra, demanding the Eili and Vola Gods disavow each other, and refrain from interacting. He is prayed to, to wish for justice in troubled times, and for clarity to those in power.
Tadhg (pronounced ty-g) is the god of life and death and the demon-ward Eili. An afterlife God, he holds the mirror to the dimensions and guides the burial rites of the dead. When summer comes heralding the burial of the dead in thawing helbolwen he becomes a formless levitating robe with frozen hands to show the mirror. When winter comes heralding the torment of Demons he becomes an Urlan and protects the faithful from their wicked schemes, while the dead lie embalmed for the next summer to be buried.
Leif (pronounced lay-f) is the God of love and change. He teaches the faithful to be kind and affectionate, to show passion to loved ones and care for the needy. He is the patron of parents and caretakers, and depicted with blazing chains as he drags the sun through the sky with the moon following in tow, tied to the sun by a chain of stars. Leif is prayed to for goodwill from others and kindness in one's own heart. He is also conventionally seen as the God of fire and symbolized by this primal element.
The Ordained
Mana, Goddess of Nature and Compassion.
Aseia, God of Knowledge and Magic.
Artarel, Goddess of Law and Vengeance.
Ammuloa, God of the Deathwill
Avinla, Goddess of the Lifespark
