==Description==
 +
Gods are allmighty beings who created the spheres and are guarding over [[Legonia]]. They're good in general while their opponents, the demongods are bad. According to different religions, it's undecided if gods are acting in Legonia directly like in most polytheistic religions or just praised as creator forces. Also the power or appearance of a god can variate to its religion. The first god in most cultures is known as the big Something. Some cultures and races praise other powerful beings as their gods though they factually aren't ones like elemental ghosts, animals, demons, a kalif etc.

The first god was the big something which created other gods. In some pantheons, gods can get own children.

*See [[Creation myth]]
-
In most religions, gods are seen as existing living individuals, who live in their own [[Sphere|sphere]], the god's sphere, but can act in Legonia, too. In the southern polytheism, it's normal that gods contact lower races, visit Legonia in material form (e.g. animals) or interact directly with our environment. They're also able to fight each other or beget childs. This type of god can own good and bad characteristics like all humans but have superior power over nature and people. In this interpretation of god-being, their only natural opponents aside themselves are the evil [[Demongods|demongods]].
+
==Known Gods==
-
In other cultures, gods were just the creators of the world and don't interact as person. So, the big something for example is mostly just an imagination of a creation's force, that once set the rules of the world.
+
According to several religions different gods or god names are known in legonian cultures.
-
For atheists and scientists, gods aren't alive. They're seen as people-invented or rather as terms for all-time existed nature forces.
+
*See: [[:Category:List of Legonian gods]]
-
Depending on religion and church, the hierarchy can variate and there's no universal pantheon. Some gods have their origins in different cultures, appear in several incarnations and meanings or are unique to a group. Also, most gods aren't bound to a specific race. Mentionable, all religions seem to point one specific god as first and creator of the world. In most cultures this godfather is known as The big something.

-
Mostly used in the [[Ark'tohlian Pantheon (South Legonian Polytheism)|Ark'tohlian pantheon]].
 
-
God of air and wind, mind, free thoughts, fantasy, science and magic. Airos is also symbol for revolutions for some enslaved tribes, so his religion is limited by the heptarchy. Only one temple exists in the whole empire. At same time, sorcerors, alchemists and wisdom-hungry people likes him. After the tale, Airos is a nephew of Arkos, but the rest of the family is unkown because not part of the pantheon. His idol is a stone eagle and sometimes a shield with eagle symbol

Arkando is the only male god in amazon mythology. Like his sister Vendra, he's son of the Big Something, so the similarity to Arkos is high contingent. His main characteristics are all negative abilities like irascibility, laziness, stupidity or arrogance. In amazon mythology, Arkando was too weak to fight the demon gods, so his sister had to end the war. Also, Arkando created the men because this is the less worthful gender. It doesn't surprise, that the amazones don't praise him, but he appears in many tales, allegories and ceremonies. In pictures and scultpures he's shown as small, often fat and ugly man, sometimes as weak, old man.

In nearly all myths, there was an endless nothing at begin of time, which got so bored that a new beeing had split from it, the big something. Every religion has its own incarnation and meaning of it. In polytheism, the big something created Arkos/Arkando as first male and Venari/Vendra as first female beeing. In some churches, the big something is a still acting individual guarding the people, in other it doesn't care for the present. In northern states, it's the main god while the southern world doesn't give it high importance.

The myths say, he’s holding the balance between old and new, good and evil, living and dead world. If you want to contact or bless any ghosts, you have to beg for his help first.
