Fiction:Drakenism

he religion of the UPD has changed little in some areas since their days as the Vanara Empire. However, much has changed since the rediscovery of their history and assimilation of Persacron ideals as well as others. Still, they are accepting of other religions (or no religion at all as the case may be) as long as they do not posse a security risk, are harmful, or the religion of an enemy or hostile nation.

Most citizens would be considered agnostic theists, believing in their gods, but not claiming knowledge as to the existence of their god thinking of it as unknown and/or unknowable. There are atheists(mostly from the Aranthrone populace) who are free to believe as they wish. However trying to make someone believe as you believe, humiliating someone, or ridiculing them for their beliefs is considered socially unacceptable and is often answered with a swift blow to the face(considered a socially acceptable response).

Ignis Divine
Ingnis Divine id the first and ultimate force of Libido having been born when existence was just and endless void Destrudo, Thanatos. It is said to inhabit every living thing that battle against their destructive influences empowering them by constantly burning away their self-destructive drives. The Persan believe that in the afterlife those who overcome Thanatos(Persan idea of hell) and reach Eros(Persan idea of heaven) becomes an individual made of pure Ignis Divine. Only mortals may posses Ignis Divine, gods are denied it.

Moral Forces
For the Persan morality is not defined by good and evil, order, or chaos, sin or virtue, in fact they find these beliefs primitive. To them it is Libido and Destrudo, which only applies to self as natural forces are beyond such things as morality.

Libido is the closest the Persan come to a concept of good, for them it is where all creative drives and the will to live comes from. It is a wellspring of trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity. These in turn give rise to even greater concepts such as hope, will, purpose, competence, fidelity, love, care, and wisdom.

Destrudo is the closest they get to a concept of evil. To them is the source of all destructive desires, both to self and that outside of self. It is the source of mistrust, shame, guilt, inferiority, role confusion, isolation, stagnation, and despair.

The line between the destructive and creative acts is not always clear(very often it is rather blurred). For example killing someone might be considered a destructive act, unless it is done for a worthy cause such as in the defense of a loved one, then it is considered creative as it was done out of love. This why the Persan consider true honor coming from why you fight rather than how. However even positive forces such as love can be twisted to negative ends if not correctly guided.

The Soul
The Persan believe the soul is divided into three parts that forms as it journeys through life, they are Id, Ego, and Super-Ego.

Id is the first part of soul formed the moment one is born. It only considers what it wants and is unresponsive to the demands of reality. While considered important for gives one the desire to achieve the things they need to survive, it can be destructive since it does not consider others or the reality that one cannot have all they want.

Ego is the second part of the soul formed after the Id. It is the part of the mind that finds reasonable and realistic ways to achieve ones desires. It balances out the needs of oneself, the needs of others, and the demands if reality to find long term ways of benefiting oneself and others.

Super-Ego is the third part of the soul formed after the Ego. It is that which responds to the demands of society. It only thinks of others and not for oneself. While it allows for one to consider others, it is destructive since it would have one forget about themselves and not consider their own needs.

Afterlife
The Persan afterlife is divided into two parts, Thanatos and Eros.

Thanatos is the Persan idea of hell, a fathomless red sea of all who gave into their death drive and became nothing but part of a whole, without self. When an individual dies their soul must cross Thanatos to reach Eros, while doing so Thanatos attempts to destroy their will to live so that it may consum their soul. In Thanatos one is simply part of a whole with out self or form, unable to experience pain, suffering, loneliness, love, empathy, or connection to others, for they have become nothing. However one can be rescued from Thanatos if they regain the will to live or are pulled from it by one of their loved ones crossing it Eros will guide them to those they love who have become trapped.

Eros is the Persan idea of heaven, a massive, burning beacon of Ignis Divine from which all creation sprung fourth. When one successfully crosses Thanatos and enters Eros, they become a being of pure Ignis Divine and is granted the greatest gift of all, the ability to fully understand others and oneself while still maintaining their individuality as a separate being. Reunited with their loved ones they are free to live a life where pleasure is constant and pain is only temporary, as opposed to the land of the living where pain is constant and pleasure is only temporary.

Basics of Other Religions
As with their gods the Persan have taken in the basics of their allies and have interpreted them in a variety of ways.

Mendel Pact=
 * Oversoul - The Persan regard the Mendel Oversoul as purely the place where those of Mendel ideals go when they die. However they believe that their own Super-Egos travel to and from the Oversoul and Eros as a sort of ambassador, while their Ego lives on in Eros. They also believe those Mendel denied the Oversoul are sent to Thanatos without hope of recovery for Eros will not search them out.

The Avaruhiist Gospel
The Gospel is the primary on most important religious text in the entire religion of Avaruhiisim. It is telling of the religion's stories and ideals. The stories in the Gospel are not actually interpreted literately, instead they are taken as metaphors for historical events and the inner struggles of the individual.

Thus he began a quest to preserve life by imposing strict controls over it in order to prevent their own destruction. However he began to realize that the control he imposed was chocking life of all that gave it worth, letting their Super Ego dominate their soul and consume them. Frustrated and angry at himself he went into isolation, so much so that he left the universe, to contemplate his actions and the nature of reality. When he returned he had discovered that the true secret was not controlling life a suppressing desire, but rather to teach living beings self mastery and control, not to suppress, but to control their desires rather then let their desires control them.

Spode
While the Persan view Spode as a powerful deity, they do not think of him as all powerful. To them Spode though Spode is more powerful than many other gods he is by no means all powerful.

Raptoranean Gods
The Raptoranean Gods are seen as an imporant group og gods to the Persan, since the Raptoraneans were one of the Persan's earliest allies. Owing to their filosospohy of the Greater Good, the Raptoraneans have no evil gods whathowever, with each gods representing something positive in life.

Xa'hal= Xa'hal is the Raptoranean sun goddess, and their most important one. The most important Goddess due to the fact that the Raptoraneans live on sunlight, she is said to be an Raptoranean female made of light, with elf-like wings, and her hair being made out of an beautiful solar flare.
 * Name - Xa'hal
 * Titles - The godess of sunlight, mother of the Raptoraneans
 * God of - Sunlight, Warmth, Tenderness, Marriage

She was said to be the first Raptoranean to have ever existed, but with an mutation that allowed her to absorb much more sunlight than others. Once she flew too close to a sun, this caused her to absorb so much energy that she ascended into what she is now. Since then, it is said that she watches over the Raptoranean people like a caring mother. However, she still had a mortal boyfriend, but was unable to visit him, believing that she would accidentally destroy Raptoranea with her power if she did so. This love, however, coupled with her immense beauty, eventually lead to the birth of Saa'nesh, the goddesss of lust, love, and desire. After a while, her daughter became more and more important to the Raptoraneans, and her power grew as this happened. After a while though, she became more and more reckless, and started to indulge herself in the more depraved kinds of pleasures. Fearing her daughter to be corrupted to excess, Xa'hal forcefully absorbed these negative traits, it is said, and was reduced to the being known as Rei'lith.

With her powers weakened severely, she was now able to travel to Raptoranea without danger, and imprisoned herself here, watching over her "children". The Persan see Xa'hal as similar to their mother Ava, indeed they take a similar view as Ugandals that the two are sisters. When Xa'Hal degenerated into Rei'lith, Ava almost planned to turn her back on her sister, however, she ultimately chose not to. The two still occasionally get into arguments over what Ava considers a very foolish thing to do.

Rei'lith= Rei'lith is what Xa'hal became after sacrificing herself to save her daughter, Saa'nesh, from falling into an existence of depraved desire and excess. With her power weakened to the extent that she could enter Raptoranea without posing danger to her "children", the Raptoraneans, Rei'lith crafted a massive spherical object in with she imprisoned herself. From her body, she started to leak an amber-colored liquid with extreme fertile proporties, the liquid spreading trough Raptoranea and turning it into the fertile jungle it is now.
 * Name - Rei'lith
 * Titles - The protector
 * God of - Guidance, protection, fate

After protecting and watching over the Raptoraneans for many millennium, it is said that Rei'lith felt the desire to be with them personally. Devolving her body even further, she created an avatar of herself that would simply become known as the silent, observing girl known as Rei'th. It is said that Rei'th and the Raptoranean leader, W'tze, have met many times in the past, though the exact circumstances in with this happened remain unknown.

Before her degradation, Rei'lith appeared just as Xa'hal, but her hair and body made out of white liquid instead of light and solar plasma, while having butterfly-like wings made out of thin membrane of light. After her degradation, she now appears as a somewhat formless mass of ooze that vaguely takes on the form of an seemingly pregnant, gender less Raptoranean. Her avatar, Rei'th, is said to be an female Raptoranean teenager with pale skin, sleek lavender hair and whine-red eyes, compared to the seemingly tanned pinkish-orange skin, the curly auburn hair and the bright green eyes Raptoraneans normally have.

While the Persan see Rei'lith as a fertility goddess, making barren wasteleands fertile land for plants and animals to live and grow. In this regard she is regarded as working along side Protipus.

Saa'nesh= Saa'nesh is the Raptoranean godess of love, lust, and pleasures, and the daughter of Xa'hal. Born as an personification of her mother's own beauty and love, Saa'nesh quickly gained as much followers as her mother, and with it, great power. However, it was too much for her to bear, and she started to become a goddess of hedonism as well, indulging herself in ever more depraved pleasures. Her mother, worried about this, forcefully neutralized these negative traits, but sacrificed most of her power for it in return, becoming known as Rei'lith.
 * Name - Saa'nesh
 * Titles - Princess of Pleasures, Godess of Love, Godess of Lust
 * God of - Love, Lust, Infatuation, Romance, Beauty, Nudity, Pleasures, Hedonism

Saa'nesh herself would stay an goddess of lust ad pleasures, but instead used this to the positive. An shapeshifter to some extent, it is said that she appears to those that have not yet found their one true partner as as extremely beautiful version of their future husband/wife, meaning that she can appear both as a male and female. To those who have already found true love, and to her followers as well, Saa'nesh appears in her true from, an extremely beautiful female Raptoranean adolescent, with a soft, hoarse voice ringing of a thousand subtle pleasures. Furthermore, she has large, angelic wings as well, and is completely nude, representing the Raptoraneans utter ignorance of nudity.

The Persan see Saa'nesh as working alongside Akumera helping balance out the Daemon Angels more vengeful and cruel tendencies. They also see her as an appreciation of beauty, but external beauty rather appreciation of internal beauty.

Shi'nesh= Shi'nesh is the only remaining piece of the corruption formerly found in Saa'nesh' heart. It compressed into a sharp shard and forced itself out of Saa'neshes body when her mother, Xa'hal, was not paying attention. Being cast away out of the system, the shard, fueled by the pain following all broken relationships, it eventually gained a consciousness of it's own, that would name itself Shi'nesh.
 * Name - Shi'nesh
 * Titles - Prince of Pain, the Great Agonizer
 * God of - Exess, Obsession, Despair, Pain, Mayhem

Shi'nesh is all what is bad in a Raptoranean's soul. With their enhanced senses and their extreme emotions, their can easily turn to excess as a way of self-satisfaction. When this happens, their is a chance that they are shoved down the path of indulgences eventually leads to highly degrading sexual practices and sadomasochistic obsession with pain. It is said that then their souls are claimed by Shi'nesh.

While he is the only truly negative god in the Raptoranean's pantheon, he is not worshiped, and as such not considered a part of it.

Si'nesh is said to be an androgynous Raptoranean, elegant yet terrifying to look at. Draped around his body, Si'nesh wears thorned vines in an crude reflection of the blossoming vines worn by Saa'nesh as her only "clothing". The wounds created into Si'nesh' flesh by these thorns are said to drip with foul narcotics that indulge excruciating pain upon anyone that comes into contact with it.

Si'nesh is especially hated by the Persan as he is said to curse those with psychokinetic abilities with an incredibly potent sadistic side. The Persan have even gone as far as to take the symbol of the first psychokinetic Vanara (a black rose) as a symbol of protection from him.

Nur'tax= At first glance, Nur'tax appears to be a paradoxical god. This is because he is not only the Raptoranean god of rot and decay, but also their god of growth and new life, causing many too see him as a god of balance and reincarnation.
 * Name - Nur'tax
 * Titles - The Bilious Caring One, The Father of Flies
 * God of - Decay, Rot, Reincarnation, New life, Growth, Balance

Nur'Tax represens the fact that death should not be feared, and rather embraced with open arms, for new life will always spout from the foetid grave. After all, decay is only one part of the cycle of life, without with no new life could prosper. Upon the decay of the living untold numbers of bacteria, viruses, insects and other carrion-feeders thrive. All life feeds upon other life to exist, and from every plague, new generations grow, stronger and more virile than those who came before. There is life in a pestilent death as much as there is regeneration spawned from decay. While a god said pestilent death, Nur'tax, for certain is also a vibrant god of life and laughter. Ever jovial in his work, he is said to care greatly for his followers, and consistently gifts them with ever more plagues to become resilient to.

Nur'tax is said to take on the form of a bloated, rotten humanoid, moss and bark decorating his skin, fungi growing on on his back, bilious flesh-fruits hanging from his exposed intestines, and surrounded by clouds of flies and other carrion-feeders that he generously let feed from his bloated body. The face of Nur'tax is decayed in such a way that he always seems, and is, smiling, and his eyes twinkle with humor. Nur'tax is known to laugh a lot, and by doing so, sends pathogenic bile deep into the mortal universe.

To the Persan Nur'tax represents the fact that destruction is needed to create, in fact a old Vanara saying "all things benefit from the death of another" has become an indirect reference to Nur'tax.

Tzeent'chak= Tzeent'chak is the Raptoranean god of Change, Chance and Liberation. It is said that he listens to the hopes and dreams of every living being in the universe, implementing them into his grand schemes. Everyone dreams of prosperity, freedom and a better tomorrow. It is unknown what the ultimate outcome of Tzeent'chak's plan is, but it is believed that it will conclude in a massive, multiuniversal evolution, after witch the denizens of the multiverse will long last be truly free.
 * Name - Tzeent'chak
 * Titles - The Great Changer, The Architect of Evolution, the Arch-Revolutionist, the Gazer of Dreams
 * God of - Change, Chance, Mutation, Evolution, Knowledge, History, Liberation, Wonder, Mischief

Tzeent'chak is also the god of evolution, guiding the universe to ever greater complexity, to the point that it would be incomprehensible. He is also the god of history, and is said to carefully record everything that happened in the past, for he believes that in the past events, one can see the future events yet to come. After all, all history repeats itself in some form or another. Seen as the giver of helpful mutations, the works of Tzeent'chak are often met with wonder and awe, and the Raptoraneans believe he has inspired many to build their greatest libraries and the most complex of their buildings. However, Tzeent'chak also has a mischievous side to him, and at times, will toy with mortals for his own amusement, especially those mortals that are enemies of his worshipers. At worst, to enemies, Tzeent'chak projects so much visions of their ancestor's mistakes and of raw chaos into their minds that they snap and are driven insane. Those individuals are then further mutated by him to masses of gangling limbs, eyes, mouths and organs as a further punishment. Yet Tzeent'chak is not a punishing god, and will never mutate his own followers. If he does, he will evolve them into something more complex and grant them greater understanding of the universe in return.

Being a representation of change, Tzeent'chak has no true form, but is said is said to mostly look an ever-changing mass of fluid, within his face in the middle, and various lesser faces drifting trough the outer veil of his body. As he speaks, these faces repeat his words with subtle but important differences, or give away prophetic oracles. The air around it Tzeent'chak weaves like liquid smoke about his head, forming subtle and interwoven patterns. Forms of places and people appear in the smoke as Tzeent'chak gazes into their hopes and dreams and ponders about their futures and destinies, for the better if they are his followers, for the worse if they conservative opposers of change. Those who appear there will often find their minds or bodies mutating into new forms, for none that gain the particular attention of Tzeent'chak remain untouched.

Tzeent'chak is the most commonly represented Raptoranean god in the Persan religion. He is seen as a patron of genetic and cybernetic augmentation, terraforming, and biochemical conversion.

Great Beasts of Raptoranea
Keiorga= Keiogra is the beast said to be the protector, and some say even the creator, of Raptoranea's seas. It is a large, sapphire-blue whale with two large flippers each featuring three flat nails and has small, almost needle-like teeth. On its flippers, chin and dorsal fins are glowing light blue stripes. It has a white underbelly and two white spots above its eyes. Its tail is made up of four, elegant ribbons.
 * Name - Keiorga
 * Titles - Great Beast of the Seas
 * Beast of - Seas, Oceans, Rain, Hail, Snow, Ice, Water

Keiogra is said to produce a pleasant drizzle wherever it goes, and is said to be extremely gentle and docile, while also saving areas suffering from droughts by letting rain fall there.

An ancient Raptoranean legend says that Keiogra performed its duties well, and allowed life in the seas to explode as a result. However, this abundance of life created an abundance of natural energy that powered up Keiogra, as he went into a search of it and eventually became addicted to the power it provided. This extremely high levels of energy within its body caused it to chance shape to what is known to Raptoraneans as Keiogras hyper form. In this form, it becomes heavier, and also becomes much larger than anything on the planet. The white parts of Keiogras body become made of pure seawater, as well as the area between its flipper marking, as webbing made out of pure seawater forms between its tail ribbons. The engergy within Keiogras body manifests itself as a golden light.

The extreme amount of enrgy within the body of hyper state Keiogra powered up its ability from a pleasant drizzle to torrential, heavy rains, as tidal waves drowned whole slabs of land, the remaining lands away from the seas became battered in hailstorms and snowstorms, the polar caps expanded, and storm clouds blocked away the sun, causing the seas to expand at frightening speeds. Keiogra paid little heed to all of this, being consumed in its search to more natural energy. Worse yet, another great beast, Landon, also gained hyper form, causing Raptoranea's ecosystem to go totally out of control. Luckily, the beast of the skies, Ozoving, appeared, and drained both of their abundant enegies, causing them to revert to normal. Keiogra then left peacefully to the deepest trench in Raptoraneas oceans, and is said to sleep there still.

The Vanara see Keiogra as a rival to Ur-Yi. While Keiogra protects sea life, Ur-Yi only views the smaller creatures of the seas and oceans as food causing the two to clash frequently. However they will work together to prevent the environmental destruction of the seas.

Landon= Landon is the beast said to be the protector, and some say even the creator, of Raptoranea's landmasses. It is a large tyrannosaur-like reptile with three sharp claws on each hand and has large, sharp teeth. In its back and legs, it has ruby-red, earth-like armor with cracks forming a patterns that glow light red. It has an ashen-grey underbelly and a row of spiky roks between its armor and underbelly. The tip of its flat tail is made up uf four, dozerblade like rock shards.
 * Name - Landon
 * Titles - Great Beast of the Land
 * Beast of - Land, Continents, Droughts, Ash, Earth, Rock, Magma

Landon is said to create a pleasant sunshine wherever it goes, saving areas suffering from floods by having the heat of the sun push back the seas there. While normlly gentle, it is said to be extremely vengeful when provoked.

An ancient Raptoranean legend says that Landon performed its duties well, and allowed life on the continents to explode as a result, though at a later date than Keiogra did so in the seas. However, this abundance of life created an abundance of natural energy that powered up Landon, as he went into a search of it and became grredy to the power it provided, wanting to absord it all for itself. This extremely high levels of energy within its body caused it to chance shape to what is known to Raptoraneans as Keiogras hyper form. In this form, it becomes larger, and also becomes much heavier than anything on the planet. The grey parts and the spikes of Landons body become a scorched black in color, as the cracks in its armor widen up and become filled with a golden magma.

The extreme amount of enrgy within the body of hyper state Landon powered up its ability from a pleasant sunshine to a drought so heavy that it dried up large parts of the seas, evaporated the polar caps, caused volcanoes across the land to erupt and new mountain ranges to form, and is even said to have set the very skies on fire as ash fell down at a constant rate, forming new lands at a frightening speed. Landon paid little heed to all of this, being consumed in its search to more natural energy. Worse yet, another great beast, Keiogra, also gained hyper form, causing Raptoranea's ecosystem to go totally out of control. Luckily, the beast of the skies, Ozoving, appeared, and drained both of their abundant enegies, causing them to revert to normal. Landon then went off in a search for a place to sleep, and eventually found a good spot in the magma chamber of Raptoraneas largest volcano, and is said to sleep there still.

Landon is seen as a counterpart and rival to Giri. Similar to the case with Keiogra and Ur-Yi, Landon protects terrenstrial life while Giri merely sees them as food and so the two clash. However like the other Ur-Yi and Keiogra they do work together if the land is in danger.

Ozoving= Ozoving is the beast said to be the protector of Raptoranea's atmosphere and and ruler of the other two weather beasts. It is a serpentine dragon with emerald green feathers, though it has glowing yellow markings connected with glowing yellow stripes where it skin is laid bare.

 * Beast of - Skies, Air, Clouds, Ozon Layer

Ovozing is capable of controlling weather patterns and is said to be able to whipe up strong whirlwinds at ease. it is extremely territorial towards anything that threatens Raptoranea, and is seen as its supreme protector. Due to its protective habits, it is said to destroy any meteor that enters Raptranea's atmostphere, feeding on the energy they provide.

An ancient Raptoranean legend states that when Keiorga and Landon clashed with each other as to gain the greatest amount of natural enegy, Ozozving descended from the ozon layer of the planet, and using the leftovers of natural enegy, as well as sapping the power of Keiorga and Landon, gained a hyper state itself. In this form, it is said to have yellow orbs where its rings once where, while golden ribbons of light with a ring pattern simmilar to that on its body at normal form stream from golden flames at the sides of Ozovings jaws. In this form, it was aid to possess such a power that it was able to overwhelm the two raging beasts easily and bricg them back to their senses. As both left to sleep, Ozozving returned to the upper atmophere as well, constructing a vast tower of pure cluds where it is said to sleep to this day.

Seen as a counterpart and rival to Kari, protecting aerial life while Kari merely sees them as food. However wen the sky is threatened they will team up to eliminate the threat. He also as an occasional rivalry with Qual as the Space Monster occasionally hurls asteroids at planets to alleviate boredom.

Ugandalorian Gods
Zaraturai= Zaraturai is the central goddess of the Ugandalorians, called the weaver, and responcible for "weaving" the Ugandalorians and their creators into what they are now. Responcible for creating the Ugandalorians' creators, then gifting them with elemental energy, Zaraturai has various forms throughout mythology, though her most common is a female Ugandalorian-like warrior, in gold and white armor, with piercing blue eyes.
 * Name - Zaraturai
 * Titles - Light Goddess, Great Spirit, Sun-goddess
 * Goddess of - Unity, light, duty, destiny, family

In mythology, it is said that the Ugandalorians toiled in darkness, fighting each other for power, until Zaraturai and her brother where born of the nothing, and caste out emptiness, creating new life. It was said the 2 blessed the Ugandals with elemental power, just like they had done for the Ugandal's creators. Then, Zaraturai and her brother took on the mantle of protecting the Ugandals.

Zaraturai adopted the status as Goddess of the Sun and light, and protector of families, while Terikadax and his warriors began creating new wildlife, protecting both royal siblings, and Terikadax, became ruler of the night and shadows. The 2 embraced this role for thousands of years. However, during their battles with the God of nothingness, Terikadax became the unfortunate host for a shard of The Nothing's remains. This plated a seed that would fester his jealous and rage, until it reached a boiling.

However, as Zaraturai became more honored among the Ugandalorians, Terikadax began to feel overshadowed. Blinded by jealousy, and corrupted by darker powers, he inherited what mythology simply calls, the Helm of Shadow, and sought to destroy his sister, bring the Ugandals under his rule, and create a new, dark order, ruled by shadow. She exiled him from the realm of the gods, though he was not defeated. Zaraturai is said to constantly be at war with her brother, their forces constantly clashing in the realm unseen, the place the gods inhabit.

To the Persan, Zaraturai is considered to their mother Ava's calmer, and estranged sister. At first the two worked together at creating life, but began to argue as Ava began to create far more violent and dangerous life forms, eventually coming to blows when Ava created a species for the sole purpose of wiping out another species who threated one of Ava's weaker creations. However the fact that the Persan and Ughandalorians are now allies has been taken as a sign that the two have reconciled.

Terikadax= Terikadax, the mythical interpretation of, is the Ugandalorian God of Night, darkness, disunity, destruction, and general unpleasantness. Originally born from nothing, like his elder sister, Terikadax and his elder sibling would take upon the task of destroying the Lord of the Abyss that threatened their people, and bring onto them, a new paradise. However, as the two ruled, each took on a different role. Zaraturai became goddess of light and the sun, while Terikadax managed the creation of new animal life destroyed by their war, and took on stewardship of the night and shadows. In fact, Shadows usually, even today, do not have negative connotations, despite Terikadax's fall from light.
 * Name - Terikadax
 * Titles - God of Shadow, the Envious one, the Dark One
 * God of - Disunity, shadow, darkness, distrust

But, as stated, Terikadax did indeed grow jealous of his sister and power she held. In a bold move, he attempted to caste a spell over his sister, so she would fall into a deep slumber. He would then be free to unleash his shadows, and eternal night. However, this did not go as planed, and he was banished. However, Terikadax planed for this, and continued to wage war with his servants and "chaos" champions.

Terikadax is the epitome of evil in Ugandal society, and feared for his lust for power, and his manipulative ways. While Ugandalorians believe only Zaraturai can change your destiny, but only by guiding you to a new one, they fear Lord Terikadax for his abilities to directly alter one's destiny, something that has earned him the title, Changer of Paths.

Terikadax takes on many forms during his life. When uncorrupted, he is usually a dark blue armored Ugandalorian, and not to different from his sister. He usually can be seen carrying a pike, and a cape fashioned from stars. When corrupted, he has many forms. One is a large dragon-like beast, with massive claws, and teeth and pure black flesh. Another, is as a whirling vortex of body parts and energy, surrounding a disembodied head. The last, is a pure black Ugandalorian, with serpentine eyes, venomous fangs, and slightly rotted flesh. He has 2, eagle-like wings, and a cape fashioned from skin. Another common form is a massive shadow with simply 2 glowing red eyes.

His most common look in Ugandalorian religion, is a massive, reptilian beast, in rusted armor, with pure red eyes. Spikes adorn the shoulders, and his belt is decorated from the skulls of lesser immortals and gods, which he collected to gain their knowledge. He commonly can be seen carrying a massive staff, with 2 curved blades on it.

He is viewed by the Persan as a corrupter of all positive things, he is the darkness within all and constantly seeks to bring about their doom. It is said he was once a positive force until the he feel prey to Destrudo and his death wise took control of him.

Artohorka= Artohorka is the God of order and creation, and among the oldest Gods of Ugandalore in existence. An ancient being, Artohorka and his brother Randoriix exsisted before Zaraturai and her brother, and gave the Ugandal creators their elemental powers. Artohorka and his brother fought against the first evil of their universe, the Lord of Nothing, Master Kiress, as he is called, and kept his ruinous powers at bay. However, their eternal battle was not successful, as Randoriix made the mistake of looking into the third eye of Kiress, and feel to his "possession". Having to face such powers alone, Artohorka fought, but failed to keep Ugandalore safe, and it feel to shadow. When Zaraturai and Terikadax where born, the elder god helped the 2 fight off Lord Kiress.
 * Name - Artohorka
 * Titles - The Forger
 * God of - Order, creation

After the great war, Artohorka helped Terikadax and his servants create the first life forms on Ugandalore, and Artohorka helped give the Ugandalorians laws and codes to keep their society in order, as well as fighting off his brother, Randoriix, who had no become a god of Chaos. It is said, that after Terikadax's betrayal, Artohorka and his followers permeantly left this realm, and established an Island-fortress in the heavens, called Artaka. For those who work hard in life, and do their duty to the Great Spirit, Artaka is their destiny, where they can live in peace for eternity.

Artohorka is commonly seen as a Ugandalorian with ancient, almost fragile looking white and silver armor, gold eyes, and traditional robes of a Ugandal Deacon. His face is covered by a magical helm allowing him to see the path his creations would take. Artohorka is often depicted carrying a mighty staff, covered by a full spectrum of various colored lights, and at it's center, those worthy, could look into the staff to gain some of Artohorka's blessing.

Artohorka is seen as a god of stability and force for preserving beneficial organization and structure in a nation and their government.

Hoorangirr= Hoorangiir is an important God among the Ugandalorians, and a mortal enemy of Arootsuum. Hoorangiir represents growth and change in Ugandal society, representing that a nation cannot remain idle, and constantly forces the Clans to adopt new ideals and ways of thinking into their life, while still loyal to the traditions of family and bloodline. He was also seen as a god of war, destroying those who remained ideal for too long.
 * Name - Hoorangir
 * Titles - Ruinous God, Hand of Ruin
 * God of - War, ruin, advancement, guardianship, growth

Hoorangiir is said to have been created by Zaraturai to protect her kingdom, as well as her subjects. Accepting his task, Hoorangiir resolved to "evolve" society based off change and progress, but while remembering old traditions. As such, Hoorangiir had to struggle constantly with judging races, wondering if they where remembering their traditions enough, or advancing too quickly, or not enough.

During his guardianship of the Ugandalorians, a tribe of them escaped his notice, and decided to remain sloth and lazy. They instead gave into carnal desires of sex and parties. With this, the dark energies of the god, Terikadax, took shape and feed off these desires, becoming the Lord of Indulgence, Arootsuum. Arootsuum feed off their desires and lust, but his meal was cut short when Hoorangiir destroyed the rogue tribe with a volcanic eruption. Arootsuum escaped, and traveled the universe, seeking other cultures to feed off of, or bribe. Hoorangiir, as such, made himself Arootsuum's mortal enemy.

Due to his rivalry with Arootsuum, the 2 are said to be locked in an eternal war.

Later, it is said, that Hoorangiir began to question his aggression, and, as such, went to the deserts to meditate and conquer his aggression. Meditating through sand storm and heat, Hoorangiir was bribed constantly by Terikadax to join his side, however, Hoorangiir remained vigilant, and resisted the dark god's temptations. However, the inner demons within Hoorangiir took shape into a darker, more twisted version of the Ruinous god, known Korhosh, a being of mindless destruction and anarchy.

Hoorangiir is often depicted in traditional, tribal armor, with spikes coming from his shoulders and a traditional chieftain's cape. His common weapon was a halberd.

Note that Hoorangiir, while a god of devastation and war, is not one who supports mindless action. War should always be fought for Family and culture, or for the right reasons, and not for bloodshed and destruction, like his rival Korhosh.

The Persan are more than happy to honor Hoorangiir as is nature reflects the Persan's war like culture, but only going to war when necessary. They also believe that Hoorangiir is one of the only beings that can approach the fire dragon Jura and not be attack, however he is as of yet unable to touch the beast who will vehemently refuses any contact unless the end of the world is at hand. As a result Hoorangiir is among the most favored of the Persan adopted gods and his cult has the largest fallowing among such gods.

Randoriix= Randoriix is the god of chaos, discord, and manipulation, and the brother of Artohorka. Fighting alongside his brother in an endless war against Lord Kiress, to keep the world from being overrun with nothingness and the abyss. However, During one of their many battles, Randoriix, as he was about to push the Death-God back again, looked into his third eye and was twisted beyond reginition. Turned insane, Randoriix would disappear to sew chaos among races for his own amusement.
 * Name - Randoriix
 * Titles - The Great Manipulator
 * God of - Chaos, discord, mischief, disorder

As such, Artohorka and he often battle, being forces of order and chaos respectively. However, despite being twisted now, and insane, Randoriix still has a place among the gods, more or less. Commonly, Randoriix is charged with running an island fortress like his brother, however, this one is built to punish. Much like what he dreams of plunging the universe into, Randoriix's realm, of Karizahn, makes little sense. The island's landscape is constantly changing to suite it's creator's needs, and the hottest fires are as cold as frost, the ice can burn hotter then hellfire, and the tiniest whisper can be louder then a monster's roar.

Randoriix does little for any grand plan or scheme, and merely lives for the now. Constantly, much like his state of mind, Randoriix shifts reality and his own body to suite his needs.

Commonly, Randoriix appears as a serpentine beast, with a mix-matched green and purple body, and 2 curved horns. One of his eyes is pure red, with no pupil, and it is said looking into this eye can cause insanity. Randoriix is commonly portrayed carrying flaming chains, covered in spikes.

Ranndorix is seen as a god of disorder and force for degrading and corrupting beneficial organization and structure in a nation and their government, turning them into an uncontrollable mess with little to no cohesion or unity.

Udo Tarack= Udo Taraak is the God of Fickle fortunes, and represents how the fortune of battle can change for one's favor. The son of Randoriix, Udo Taraak shared his father's dislike for order and that sort of thing, but became more of a battlefield force.

 * Name - Udo Tarrack
 * Titles - The Discordant, Bastard of Chaos
 * God of - Fickle fortunes, changing tides, change in general, but in a negative sense

Udo Taraak commonly offers to help the other Gods with their battles against each other, however, he only does so when they are desperate, as they don't trust him, due to changing sides for more money, power, or simply because he feels like it. As such, Udo Taraak is hated for his attitude, yet respected for his combat abilities by the other gods.

Udo Taraak commonly dresses in traditional armor, but with a florid, mix-matched appearance that changes as he walks in a technicolored display. Ugandalorians commonly customize their armor similarly to gain his blessings and to avoid his wrath on the field of battle.

Udo Tarack is viewed with immense distrust by the Persan, he is even thought to be connect with Kari the air serpent as both are extremely fickle entities.

Trencormaa= Trencormaa is the God placed in charge of protecting Ugandalore the planet, and maintaining balance in the universe. While he was created by Zaraturai, Trencormaa's body was corrupted by Terakadax, causing him to become a most hideous god. Trencormaa, however remained a force of good, despite his corruption, but had to retreat to the bowels of the planet to avoid being seen by others, and driving them insane.
 * Name - Trencormaa
 * Titles - Unsightly one, Sleeping God, Yeg
 * God of - Maintenance, Guidance

While within his self-imposed exile, Trencormaa battled with Terikadax and his forces to keep the Ugandals safe. However, these battles lead to Trencormaa almost destroying the planet, and he went into a coma, to avoid harming the planet or it's people any longer. However, even when asleep, his great telepathic power protects all those worthy from Terikadax's wrath.

Trencormaa is the god of guidance and maintenance. It is said that in times of need, he will help guide loyal followers of Zaraturai to the light, and help keep them from falling toe the dark powers of Terikadax and other ruinous gods.

Trencormaa, due to his corruption, resembles a gigantic mass of tentacles, with a skull like head, and empty eye-sockets. Trencormaa's hands are thin and bony, and his body is constantly shifting about.

Trencormaa is the mortal enemy of the God of rot and decay, Norklair.

Trencormaa is view as a guiding force by the Persan, though he hides in the shadows he guides other forewords unto a better tomorrow.

Arootsum= Arootsuum is the Ugandalorian god of stagnation, and considered their worst enemy. A being constantly trying to get the clans to retain old traditions, sit about and get lazy, and otherwise destroy themselves. Arootsuum is the mortal enemy of Hoorangiir, and the 2 are engaged in an eternal war.
 * Name - Arootsum
 * Titles - Prince of Indulgence, The stagnating Hand
 * God of - Pleasures, hedonism, stagnation, idleness, laziness

Arootsuum was born when a clan of Ugandalorians renounced their culture, and decided to live for pleasures and lust, not for honor and family. Their lifestyle, combined with exposure to Terikadax's energies helped produce the horrid Lord of Indulgences, Arootsuum. Immediately and enemy of Hoorangiir, god of change and energy, the Ruinous god destroyed the Lord of Pleasures' food source, and forced the immature god to flee and seek out other cultures to feed on, or bribe with hedonism. Hoorangiir is then forced to destroy these cultures to keep Arootsuum from gaining strength.

While Arootsuum is seen as a God of stagnation and idleness, he is also a god of pleasures and carnal desires, feeding off others desires, especially when they actually experience them.

Arootsuum is commonly seen as a Ugandalorian in fancy robes and clothing, bedecked in jewels and various gem stones, and usually caries a sword

The Vanara view Arootsuum as the corrupter of all things pleasant, instead of making them things that help individuals cope with pain and allow them to move through life, he transforms them into things that make them hide from pain and simply fade away. It is said that Akumera especially hates him and often assists Hoorangiir is fight against him.

Norklair= Morklair is the dark god of decay, rot and corruption, and seen as one of the oldest enemies of civilization. It is said Norklair has existed as long as sentient races have, existing just to watch his plagues and diseases corrupt society. This is another reason Ugandal society seems always on the move, as they wish to avoid Norklair's rot, the imminent downfall that occurs to empires too large.
 * Name - Norklair
 * Titles - Great Unclean One
 * God of - Rot, Corruption, decay

Norklair is said to have come to being when species began to develop. As more and more where born, the creature became bigger, more bloated, and filled with rot, and began unleashing disease after disease on species across the galaxy. However, Terikadax defeated the God of rot, and slowed the progression of his plagues to a near halt. After the latter's corruption, Norklair decided to forgive the dark god, as Terikadax's plans promised the end of many empires, an opportunity for Norklair to release his rot on many new races.

Commonly, he clashes with the sleeping God, Yeg-Trencoorma, as Trencoorma represents guidance and protection, where's Norklair destroys all in his wake. Norklair also has a love-hate relationship with Hoorangiir, commonly being aware of empires that are becoming stagnant and weak, and Hoorangiir must sometimes ask The Unclean one to help him locate them.

Norklair commonly appears as a large, bloated, mass of flesh, with no bone at all. Many of his organs are exposed and flop out of his bloated gut, and tenetalces surround his mouth, giving him a squid like look. Norklair is said to be as ugly as Trencoorma, and his appearance can mortals to suffer eye rot, and to insane.

The Persan view Norlair as a disgusting, worthless, loathsome creature not even worthy of existing in even the most disgusting corners of the universe. He is viewed with contempt more than fear, but he is still a force to be reckoned with.

Korhosh= Korhosh is seen as the god of mindless bloodshed and war, and the "son" of Hoorangiir. When Hoorangiir himself went to the desert to make peace with himself and calm his demons, Terikadax appeared to him and tried to bribe him over and over, however, Hoorangiir refused. However, Hoorangiir was not perfect, and his inner demons feed off Terikadax's energies to become Korhosh, tore his way from Hoorangiir's head. The 2 gods clashed, before Korhosh disappeared mysteriously.
 * Name - Korhosh
 * Titles - Head Hunter, The Collector
 * God of - Mindless war and bloodshed.

Korhosh often, like Hoorangiir, supports war. However, this war is not fought for glory of the clan and family, or to protect one's life and ways, but merely for more and more death. Korhosh personifies everything the Ugandals do not seek as warriors. It is said Korhosh will appear during battles to fight the strongest warriors, before taking their heads, and souls, to empower himself. Ugandals believe they received this power from Korhosh, as a gift in case they followed him on the path of bloodshed.

Korhosh is often seen as a gigantic, red-skinned, armored warrior, with needle-like teeth, and a flaming sword. Korhosh commonly has a belt filled with swords and skulls that he has collected from other warriors.

To the Persan Korhosh is nothing less than a total monster. Persan believe that to be a truly honorable warrior one must fight to protect something they care about, Korhosh to them nothing less than a dishonorable cur that fights for blood shed and blood shed alone.

Tctaash= Tctassh is the God of unproductive change and mutation. He is seen as a manipulator and a god of shapeshifting. Tctaash was born from the effects of Randoriix and Arootsum teaming up, and trying to have Zaraturai become Randoriix's mate. While their combined powers could do little against the sovereign goddess, their thoughts converged to create Tctassh, the Great Changer. Where's Ugandals support change, as long as certain traditions are held, Tctaash represents changing everything, and disregarding ancestors and their sacrifice. Tctaash is also seen as a god of mutation, commonly causing deformities among populations.
 * Name - Tctassh
 * Titles - The Great Changer, The Unseen force
 * God of - Mutation, shape-shifting, manipulation

Tctassh often is at odds with the God Hoorangiir and Artohorka, as well Terikadax, but is seen as an ally of Udo Tarrack and Randoriix.

Tctassh has no true form, most being a mass of bodies, with large jaws coming out of the side of it's head, it's left separating into 2 limbs, distorted faces in it's chest, and a mouth in it's stomach. Tctassh, unlike other Dark Gods, is not willing to get involved directly with mortals, and commonly mutates one, before moving onto the other. Tctassh also is seen as having a relationship with Warjeth by the Persan. Warjeth is seen as a control factor for Tctassh's mutations, eliminating them if they get out of control.

Azona= Azona is the Goddess responsible for nightmares, and creates them by feeding off peoples' dreams, and corrupting them into nightmares in the process. Azona is held with deep apathy, seen as a potential killer in Ugandal society, as they believe if they do not dream properly for too long, they will lose the Elemental power in their bodies and die off as a result.
 * Name - Azona
 * Titles - She who thirsts
 * Goddess of - Nightmares, patron of Changelings.

Despite his corruption, Terikadax still fights Azona, as he wishes to rule mortals, not destroy them.

Azona is described as being a massive, round, sun-like object, with a single decayed eye, and surrounded by tentacles.

The Persan have a rather intresting view of nightmares in that they are a good(if less than plesent) thing. According to the Persan when you have a nightmare it is because a malignant spirit has invaded your mind and your mind is forcing it out by constructing a scary, hostile enviorment. As a result the Persan see Azona as of the malignant spirits who often invades a sleepers mind causing nightmares.

Cirana= Cirana is the goddess of Love and fertility among the Ugandalorians, and held as a highly honored deity among them. Said to be the niece of Zaraturai and Terikalinra, Cirana is the opposite of the likes of Arootsum, and his mindless sexual exploits.

 * Titles - The Protector, the Unifier
 * Goddess of - love, fertility, marriage, Patron of all Ultra Commandos.

Cirana represents true love, beyond the mere physical side of things, is seen as a patron of marriage and unity, her force helping people stay together no matter how difficult the path ahead may be. Cirana commonly clashes with Arootsum, the 2 being eternal enemies, though, strangely, is said to be married to Udo Tarrack, who, despite being a fickle god, cares deeply for Cirana.

Cirana's absolute loyalty to the ideals of Ugand'alor, have made her a patron among Ultra Commandos, relying on her power to maintain their unity in the face of adversity.

The Persan view Cirana as working with Akumera to help protect those they love, however Cirana is far more selfless as opposed to Akumera who can be rather selfish. As a result Cirana help keeps Akumera on the right track.

Cieogoarch= Ciecogoarch is the god of laughter and light-heartedness among the Mendel, and patron God of the Polychromatic Cult, a group of Mendel who split from the main ones long ago, in order to travel the galaxy as performers, telling stories of the most glorious days of the Mendel clans, their gods, and the tales of Cieogoarch. The Laughing God is said to appear as a chosen Polychromatic leader, who will let the god reside in him, until his body burns out.
 * Name - Cieogoarch
 * Titles - the Laughing God.
 * God of - Laughter, jesting.

Cieogoarch is a mysterious god. None of the other gods know where the being came from. He simply appeared one day walking the streets of the city of the gods, dressed in mortal grab and skin. When approached by Hoorangiir, the mysterious new comer asked to be taken to Zaraturai. Hoorangiir escorted him there, carefully watching the newcomer, as he bowed to Zaraturai. Recognizing power in the immortal, Zaraturai asked him who he was and where he had come from. Cieogoarch merely responded that he was the Laughing God, and proceeded to invite all the gods, both loyal to Terikalinra and Zaraturai to a show in the city square. Both sides meet, Dark and Light gods, and, at first, did not like the site of their rivals. However, Cieogoarch appeared on put on a show so funny, that the other gods could barely control their laughter. Even Korhosh and Kadaii Hoorangiir could barely hold back their laughter as he contributed joke after joke. Afterward, Cieogoarch was considered a neutral god, not being out for power or position, but more so to make life bearable for mortals in dark times.

Cieogoarch is a god of laughter, and lives up to it well. It is said no one can resist one of his jokes, and his mere presence can lift others' spirits. Ciecogoarch taught the Mendel about how to brew wine, beer and mead, and infused in them a spirit of happiness and joy for life outside of battle. As such, the Mendel honor him after every victory with an extravagant party.

Ciecogoarch's followers, the Polychromatic Cult, travel the universe, spreading tales of the laughing god and other Mendel beliefs and ideals, and putting on vast performances for other races, who either regard them as insanely funny, or strange visitors from another plane of existence. This cult will commonly appear to help the Mendel in certain fights, but no one knows where or when. Most simply state it is because of Ciecogoarch's nature, as he is also the god of deception.

The Persan see Cieogoarch as a god of goods times. To them he is the patron of parties as well as those who enjoy their alcohol a bit to much. It is said not even the rather humorless Perkorlus cannot help but laugh at his antics.

Sathri (Volver Gods)
The gods of the Volver are also seen as quite important by the Vanara. While not influencing the Vanara directly the have more indirect influence then many others due to the Volver being allies.

The Volver, after casting aside their belief in Ada as a god, gained a more refined and intelligent belief system. This religion formed around the last 300 years of the Tribe, as they realized that Ada would never lend them aid, and they even questioned his existence.
