Gods and Religion Short Glossary in Alphabetical Order

A’feros

Goddess of Fire. CN.



Belgor Vrack

The Eternal Blood God.


Deathless Flame (Soul)

The Deathless Flame is the soul’s ability to live beyond death. Vorax gave men the will to live beyond death. If their will was strong and their soul’s selfless, they would rise as paragons of human might. If their wills were selfish, they would rise as a miasma of power to haunt the world of the living. A chartreuse flame created long ago by the Revenant. Emrys Valakar (Em-reez Vala-kar), or the Revenant, was a powerful necromancer on a distant land. Those who revered and served him called him “He who walks with death.” Unfortunately, though he could control death, he could not escape it. When the time for Demrys's death approached, he begged his gods to show him mercy, but his words fell on deaf ears. But Demrys was a cunning man who used the knowledge he gained over a lifetime of servitude to conduct terrible experiments with the sole aim of freeing his life from the cycle of the Gods. Having built one of the first soul forges of Nabell, Demrys used his own life as the catalytic fire to ignite the furnace. What he didn’t know was that the fire would ultimately consume him, leaving only his soul. Now, thousands of years later, that same flame has passed from host to host, granting everlasting life, while at the same time, allowing Demrys’s to live on.

god/goddess/demigod

Harbingers of Light Prophecy

I saw a child born from dark, emblazoned with the sun,

Fear the darkness for it is born of light,

Through sacrifice, the dawn shall end the night
