		+	==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.

-	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.

-	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. All other gods are its children due to [[creation myth]].	+

-	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. People of Peng Cheng honours it as mother of [[Peng(mythology)|Peng]].	+

-	Son of Norae and Nepht'uhl and part of the 2nd level in the insaani pantheon. Saard has officially 2 sons, Guardash and Thar but it's said that he impregnated many mortal beings and elemental ghosts so a lot of inofficial half-god beings are Saard's children. His true love (if assumed that he doesn't love every female being like the same) is Naja. Because Naja betrayed her husband Okeanos, Okeanos and Saard are opponents. So if Okeanos stands for water, Saard's element would be the fire. This fact gives him many similarities with the ark'tohlian god Arkos. Saard has many images but in most of them he's naked. His evil aspects left him and formed the demongod [[Demongods#Sado|Sado]].	+	[[Norae]]: Godess of life, reformation, birth
		+	[[Pharao]]: God of human
-	== Thar ==	+	[[Naja]]: Godess of flora & fauna, health, elemental ghosts, springs
-	Insaani god of war and honour. Patron of warriors.	+
-	Son of Naja and Saard and part of the 3rd level of the insaani pantheon. Thar inhertited the passion of his father but not the calmness of his mother, so his lust for action can never be filled. Early he found joy of violence and so he became the god of honorable war.	+	[[Okeanos]]: God of ocean
-	Thar is also known in Therian myths and still often used in Castallanian architecture and arts.	+	[[Saard]]: God of passion, love, sexuality
-	== Thorun ==	+	[[Xo Ra]]: God of science, knowlegde
-	God of death, disease, curses and sleep. Thorun is shown mainly as skeletonstatue made of marble. Older idols are made of bones. He’s not familiar with Arkos, so it can be assumed, that he came from a different culture of a jungle tribe. Nearly everyone fears him, altought he’s neutral as lord of the death realm and isn’t a god of destruction or evil. 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. The Thorun belief is only spread in southern cultures e.g. the Ark'tohl pantheon. As his opposite the demongod [[Demongods#Nekron|Nekron]] is assumed.	+
-	== Venari/Vendra ==	+	[[Thar]]: God of war
-	=== Venari in ark'tohl pantheon===	+
-	Godess of fertility, family, home, peace, femality and friendship. Venari is the sister of Arkos and first female lifeform. Praised mainly by women and children. The everyday life of a family is leaded by prayings to her. At festivals and meetings with foreigners she’s mentioned often. Her idol is a glass cylinder with crystal and 2 rolling arms. [[Demongods#Orphelia|The demongodess Orphelia]] is seen as opposite of Venari.	+

-	[[File:Vendra.jpg|thumb|right]]Under the name Vendra, Venari also appear in amazon belief. She's sister of Arkando and daughter of the big Something. As strongest beeing ever, she was able to defeat the old demon gods and is supposed to lead the world's most dominate race: Human women...	+

At some point, before the ancient war between demongods and gods has started, he was in danger to become crazy. To safe himself and the world from his dangerous knowlegde, he split himself apart into 3 personalities. Xo Ra is still known as guardian of science and creativity, his other incarnations, Ox and Ar are sharing sky and earth with their nature-born powers.
