Faeloria Pantheon
Faeloria's mythology is deeply rooted in the teachings of the gods that shape its cosmology. The legends start with Chronos, the Father, the God of Time, who is revered as the Creator of the Cosmos. Represented by a circular coin embossed with an hourglass, set against the backdrop of a starlit space, he represents the inexorable passage of time and the infinite cosmos.
Chronos brought forth two divine beings from the vast emptiness: Ariana, Goddess of Arcane and Motherhood, and Cryos, the icy ruler of the Underworld. Ariana and Cryos represented two starkly contrasting aspects of existence, leading to friction between them. Despite their conflicts, Chronos refrained from choosing sides, allowing his children to sort out their differences.
Ariana, symbolized by a rectangular bar with fairy wings, a half tree, and a rose-thorn crown, crafted a splendid realm within the creation of Chronos, called the 'Fae Wilds'. The Wilds flourished under her watchful gaze, filled with immortal and magically gifted creatures known as the Fae. To help her maintain this vast realm, she gave birth to two children: Lucien, the God of Luck, and Eriana, the Goddess of Nature.
Lucien, represented by a circular coin with a four-leaf clover bearing symbols of ale, boot, harp, and coin, brought fortune and chance into the world. Meanwhile, Eriana, symbolized by an oval coin showing a doe amidst the duality of life and death, bestowed the world with the beauty and the harshness of nature.
On the other side, Cryos, the Winter, God of Ice, represented by a triangular coin with ice crystals, created the Underworld. He fathered two children, Aros, the God of Death, whose domain was symbolized by a square coin showing barren wastes, and Inuera, the Goddess of Change, represented by a shield-shaped coin with a dual-faced mask.
The gods of the lower realm were also significant in shaping Avaria. Alcor, the God of Protection and Sacrifice, was born from the combined power of Ariana, Lucien, and Eriana. Symbolized by a circular coin depicting a comet's trail, Alcor served as a protector against the forces of evil threatening the mortal and fae realms.
Avaria's mythology forms the cultural, spiritual, and moral backbone of the kingdom. Its tales of gods, the celestial dynamics, and the creation of the world weave a rich tapestry of mythos, guiding the beliefs and traditions of its people.
