The Holy Family

The divine pantheon worshipped by the Dualist and Triadic Luminary Faith of Iaoth. Once mortals known as "Aes Volari", they ascended to Godhood , Mortals Ascended to Godhood in the not-so-distant past. They are responsible for the creation of The Weave. In the current era, they are closely associated as firm enemies of the The Dark One, Ophiel.

In the The Dualist Luminary Faith of Iaoth, the saints are presented as serving The Creator, Iaoth.

In the Triadic Luminary Faith, the saints are presented as serving The Cosmic Balance.

Structure

Self-Imposed Limitations

Due to the damage caused by The Breaking of the World, the Holy Family strives to maintain Creation and uphold the tenets of The Cosmic Balance.
All the Saints are bound into the following system by powerful oaths to The Cosmic Balance:

• Each Saint is assigned a primary and a number of secondary "Domains", or aspects of creation. The sum total of a Deity's domains comprises that Deity's "Portfolio".
• Each Saint is responsible for their portfolio. They ensure it is properly represented throughout Creation. They must further their portfolio's interests at all cost.
• No Saint will take direct action to benefit their portfolio's interests. Instead, they will influence mortal beings to take action on their behalf.
• Each Saint would only provide weave-based divine powers to its followers that demonstrably further their portfolio's cause. No mortal is to be granted divine powers, if they do not act in the best interests of their saint's portfolio.

Hierarchy

There are four tiers of Saints, separated by their level of power and responsibility:

1. Divine Overlords

The Overlord's role is to watch the other saints' actions and pass judgement when necessary. Their primary role is to ensure that the limitations the Saints placed upon themselves are upheld.
There can only be two Saints holding this position at any time. No matter who it is, they will be renamed to "Alpha" and "Omega". Alpha and Omega together are more powerful than the sum of all other saints. They have the power to destroy other saints, elevate or demote them from one level to the next, elevate a mortal to divine status, and deliver punishment to saints.

2. Greater Saints

The Greater Saints' role is to embody their portfolio and further its interests to the best of their ability.
All Saints listed in this article are Greater Saints, members of the original Aes Volari. They can create new races, or new demi-planes if they chose to. Greater Saints are nearly equal in power, though they might be able to hurt or even destroy eachother.

• Immortal
• Grant mortals divine powers
• Can raisemortals to Demi-god status
• Can demote demi-gods to mortal status

3. Lesser Saints

These are newer Saints that have more recently reached divine status. Are typically subservient to other, Greater Saints.

• Are immortal
• Grant mortals divine powers

4. Demi-Gods

These are mortals that just ascended to a semi-divine status. They typically are required to complete task(s) before becoming true divinities.

• Immortal
