Pars Gaudium God of Revelry, Spring and Nature. Husband to Uxorem.
Myths-
Pars Gaudium was originally intended to be the last god ever made, but this proved impossible. The way creation works, more stuff means more gods so making one god to create inevitably leads to more.
Pars Gaudiums first creations were plants and animals, starting with the Tree. One singular tree that simply lives and all other things live on. On that tree, Pars Gaudium created a pond that held fish. Over millennia those fish changed from generation to generation eventually becoming the plethora of animals and wildlife that reside on the Tree today.
While Pars Gaudium was watching his domain of nature grow freely beyond control, as it is meant to do, some of them grew a sentience like the god had. He tried to recreate this in goats, which resulted in the first satyrs. He celebrated the creation of his new people with them, creating the first celebration making Pars Gaudium the god of revelry.
His symbol is a fish with ram horns.
Uxorem Goddess of Marriage and Murder. Wife to Pars Gaudium.
Myths-
The first murder was when two women fought each other over their children, one wanting them together and one wanting them apart, but both had the goal of making their child happy. When one through the other over the edge of the Tree’s roots, Uxorem was formed appearing with the eyes of the loser and the hair of the victor. Both red.
Uxorem started as just a pseudo-god but murder got real popular real quick and she rose to full godhood faster than any other. Then she decided that she could get it, and started to court Pars Gaudium. It looked like it was working out, but she noticed that Pars Gaudium has two children at this point, and she doesn’t want to play second fiddle so she decides to lock him down, forming the first marriage.
Uxorem was unhappy with her public image amongst the mortals, so she tried to make something cute. She didn’t understand what constitutes as cute though, so she asked her husband Pars Gaudium to make her an example. He made cats explaining that they were fluffy, round and had big eyes. Uxorem made spiders which are round, often fluffy, and had eight eyes so they had to be eight times as cute right? Pars Gaudium didn’t have it in him to tell his wife how much she fucked up.
Ligimori Demon Queen of Despair.
Myths-
When whatever force the gods worship saw that the creations of Pars Gaudium led to more gods, and grew angry. They created Ligimori, an avatar of despair to destroy him. When she flew into the world, Head of a goat, torso of a woman and snakes for legs she battled the nature god fiercely. When they found that they could destroy each other, Pars Gaudium and Ligimori decided to sleep together instead. This courtship led Ligimori to birth Hiems, God of Fall and Winter.
When Uxorem created marriage, Ligimori was less than pleased that Pars Gaudium wouldn’t sleep with her anymore and tried to kill him again. Unfortunately for her, while she was a match for Pars Gaudium, she couldn’t stand up to Uxorem at all. After losing her left arm Ligimori ran to the deepest depths of the gods realm, where she waits for her arm to regrow so she can try again.
Vlixem Astu Goddess of Martyrs, Humility, and Self Sacrifice.
Myths-
When Uxorem had bore her first children she swore that she would do everything for them. To demonstrate this she changed spiders, her creation she was most proud of, so that many spider mothers would be eaten by their mothers. This demonstration of love was strong enough to create Vlixem Astu, With the upper body of a dryad and the lower half of a spider.
Vlixem Astu was traveling with Ferantur on one of her journeys shepherding hurt spirits to her realm of healing when they delivered a Wood Elf named Eidikós. Eidikós spent his whole life without stepping on a single spider, so Vlixem Astu blessed his family line creating the first High Elves.
Lolth Demon Queen of Spiders.
Myths-
Uxorem, feeling proud of spiders and a third child in Vlixem Astu, decided to spread her creation throughout the tree. People did not respond well to spiders, in fact they created fear for the first time. They squished the spiders because of course they did, and the resulting fear from people and the pain from Uxorem created two minor pseudo-gods. Before they could form fully, the two birthing entities realized that they were near the muder goddess and slammed into each other so that they would form into one stronger god. This hasty union of fear and hate formed Lolth, appearing as a twisted mirror image of Vlixem Astu.
When Lolth appeared, Vliem Astu immediately attacked, trying to force the hatred towards her mother's creations away. They battled for two days until Uxorem sliced Lolth in half and threw both halves into the deepest, darkest root of the Tree, soon to be renamed the Underdark. Lolth recovered because of godhood, and once she was all put back together again.
Lolth from her dwelling in the Underdark saw Vlixem Astu bless the family of Eidikós and decided to spite her goodwill. She dragged down the elf’s family into her domain where she began to corrupt them and breed them to be loyal and brutal. These became the Dark Elves, raised to despise all other elves and spit on the name Vlixem Astu.
Kolpos, Goddess of Genitalia and Fertility. Daughter of Pars Gaudium and a dryad named Flosmom.
Myths-
While Pars Gaudium was celebrating his successful creation of the Satyrs, he slept with one of the newly thoughtful beings that rose from his nature, a dryad. She birthed a child, the second god in this realm. This was Kolpos. Having birthed a deity the dryad had been named Flosmom, the first mortal to have a name.
When Flosmom died Kolpos refused to let her mother pass. She held onto her soul for nearly a century before Ferantur approached her. Many mortals feared that Kolpos’s refusal to let her mother pass would draw the ire of Ferantur but the grief goddess saw Kolpos as a hurting soul and decided to help her instead of fight. Ferantur suggested Kolpos channel her pain into artistic pursuits, which led to Kolpos creating humanity. Kolpos eventually grew content with her mother's death and allowed her mother to pass.
