The Faith(Daoine)

The Faith of the Witches and Wizards is said to date back to the very dawn of time, and it's not hard to see why. Supposed interactions with these gods can be found throughout any age. The gods of The Faith bare resemblance to those of The Old Faith, but have some noticable difference. The pantheon lacks the thousands of minor gods and lesser spirits, as well as the evil gods who rivaled the gods of The Faith. The Faith has become a worldwide religion.

The Gods
There are twelve male deities in The Faith.

Selios
Selios is the god of the Sun, fire, heat, light and the god of the Summer months. He is twin to Aella, and father to the First Witch and the First Wizard. He is often depicted as a fair haired, blue eyes, tan young man dressed in a bright white cloth and golden girdle. He is said to be the Patron of Elves.

Ysmir
Ysmir is the king of the gods, the supreme ruler, god of sovereignty, and god of the Autumn months. He is the god of the government and patron to anyone in a ruling position, such as a king or mayor. He is often described as having a white beard and wearing a horned helmet, with olive skin and eyes as black as night. He is the first born son of Kaeyln.

Oberius
Oberius is the god of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth; as well as the ruler of the Underworld. In The Old Faith, he had lower gods who served as psychopomps, but in the modern variation, he also guides the dead to the afterlife, as well as judge their souls. He is brother to Ysmir and Randi, and the consort of Eno. He is described as being dark skinned, bald, with a light beared and often dressed in robes of black and purple.

Kesh
Kesh is the god of the woods and patron of the Hunt. He is the protector of wildlife. He was once seen as being a horned god and the forbidden lover to Aella, but now his horns are simply tree branches and he is no longer the shares the Moon's bed in secret. He has long brown hair, with green eyes and is clad in a garment of leaves, if anything at all. Kesh has no place of origin - it is not known who his parents are, some argue he is a child of Kaelyn, while others say he is Kaelyn's lover, brother, or both.
