Nigh Deities are those with small followings, often offshoots of larger groups. They do not hold much power over the realm of mortals, expressing their will exclusively through the actions of their acolytes. Here are some reports from various regions.
Monax'len Region
THE THREE GIFT-BEARERS
Legends reason that a Nigh Deity may be created through the collaboration between Elder Deities. Such is the stories of the Three Gift-Bearers that many modern clerics and acolytes have begun to follow.
Endretheol ( They / Them )
Known as ”The Grave” and “First in Death”, this offspring of Latarem and Praencasa had sacrificed themselves to bring end to the mortals' First War and made the way clear to the divine After-realms.
Hesetha ( They / Them )
Known as “The Arcane”, “The Weaver”, “Bringer of Monsters”, “The Shaper Kin”. This offspring of Sienel and Karaclim inadvertently discovered the way to shape reality through magic and gave mortals access to it by seeding the leylines through the world. This act also created the first monstrosities.
Uretanos ( They / Them )
Known as “The Forge”, “The Shaper Kin”, this offspring of of Calotep and Bellitia gave the first mortals the means to craft tools and weapons to wage the First War.
The One Beyond Names (They/Them)
Little is known about this strange deity and even less can be said... Save from those who are subject to their incessant whispered promises that so few can resist.
Enteja Region
Arexthes (She/Her)
Known as "Chaos Incarnate," Arexthes seems to have no desire for a following. In fact, many of her agents of chaos find themselves destroyed by the very things they sew in a twist of comedic irony.
Kyojic (He/Him)
While Jyio, The Inventor serves as the patron god to many artificers, some reject his principles and instead pursue more selfish uses of artifice and knowledge. Followers of Kyojic are universally shunned from places of learning, their egotistical mantra firmly rebuked by the majority of artificers.
Romdros (He/Him)
Romdros is depicted as a tall, graceful figure with a gentle and kind face. He has mid-length, flowing hair that cascades down his back and shoulders, although in his aspect of Twilight, he goes hooded. His eyes are a soft and soothing shade of blue, reflecting the tranquility and beauty of calm lakes. He typically wears a simple, yet elegant, black starry robe made from moonbeams.
The story of Romdros is supposedly one of great heroism and sacrifice. It is said that he once traveled across the land, challenging all who would desecrate the cycle of life and death. The myths also tell of Romdros's many adventures and encounters with other deities, which have shaped the history and culture of his followers.
Romdros is worshiped by a diverse range of followers, including nature lovers, and those who seek peace and harmony in their lives. His worshipers are often kind, creative, and highly respectful of the natural world. However, healers prefer to worship his aspect of Twilight, as that aspect is that of peaceful passage into the next world, and the inevitable cycle of life and rebirth.
