The Divine Conclave, sometimes also referred to as the Conclave of Six, are as much a part of life in our world as the air we breathe. From the smallest shrine in foreign lands, to the grand home temples each god maintains in the nations which most revere them, to even the watchful glow of Marveshe, the celestial seat of the Conclave, which travels across our evening sky, we are surrounded by reminders of their grandeur.
While at least a general knowledge of the gods is commonplace in most of the civilized lands of Aeloryn, it is the purpose of these reports to summarize information without regard to how common it may be. What follows is a basic overview of each of the Divine Conclave’s member gods (of which, as their alternative title suggests, there are six,) including their major aspects.
- The Lord in Saffron Robes – The figurehead of the Conclave, first among equals. God of Rulership, Law, Subjugation, and Commerce. His home temple resides in the nation of Astil, far to the north.
- The Lady with Crimson Eyes – The consort of the Lord. Goddess of Family, Community, Love, Jealousy, and Wrath. Her home temple sits in Sharhil, just east of Astil.
- The Marshal of the Gleaming Blade – The warlord of the Conclave. God of Battle, Glory, Conquest, and Violence. His home temple, of course, is here in the Regency of Khedia, at The Marshal’s Stand.
- The Caller to the Ways – The magus and architect of the Conclave. God of Magic, both as a means of Creation and of Destruction, as well as Knowledge and Logic. Their home temple is in the lands of Khedia’s northern neighbor, the Kingdom of Othland.
- The Seeker in Starlight – The hunter of the Conclave. Goddess of Nature, Savagery, Journeys, and the Chaos of the unbound wilds. Her home temple is deep in the rainforests of Cobahkul.
- That Which Walks in Silence – The most abstract and enigmatic of the Conclave, the Walker communicates with its followers only in dreams. God of Truth, Death, Secrets, Fate, and Freedom. While the precise location of its home temple has been lost to time, records suggest its ruins may lie somewhere within the Northern Wildlands. Expeditions to find it have proven ill-advised, given the concentration of the bestial races in the depths of that gods-forsaken place.
Further reports will give more detailed accounts of the gods of the Conclave, including their minor aspects, and their so-called dualistic nature, as well as other subjects of interest to the Regency. On a personal note, I can not help but wonder if my time might be better spent in higher pursuits, but I am, of course, the Regent’s humble servant.
