Lord of Girth
The Pantheon of Aesirs
Written into the binded pages of the Book of Moross, Are stories, myths, and parables of many notable people. However, the most important names are those of the Aesirs. The Ten Divine beings who are the pillars of the Great Hall.
Aesirs vary in many aspects. Some are ruthless and powerful. Others are cunning and deceitful. While no Aesir is inherently Good, or Evil, many are associated with those terms due to their actions, values, agendas, and teachings. The Ten are Immortal beings who take mortal form within our Galaxy to lead the Morossi people. While only three can be in this mortal state at a time, The Aesirs are not without their Chosen.
The Chosen are beings who have been considered the Right hand, or the vessel of that particular Aesir. Anyone, Force user or Not, can become one of these Aesir. While most of the time it is a Force User as the force very closely resonates with the powers and abilities that the Aesir's naturally have. These Chosen hold much respect within the Covent, as well as their respective parts of the faith.
These Ten Divines, and their devout, are as follows.
Aatrox the Deceiver - As the name implies, Aatrox is known to be one of the most untrustworthy of the ten. While his intentions can be meaningful at times, This is reserved for his devout and himself. Typically shown as a man garbed in Dark Blue and grey cloaks, he is worshiped by many people. Namely Assassins, Politicians, Thieves, or those who find that his methods are beneficial to them.
Aatrox is actually looked down upon by many of the Aesirs. Seeing as his tactics are of Subterfuge, Deceit, and Smoke and mirrors, Many of the Warrior, or War like Gods see him as a disgrace to the pantheon at times. Many of his followers are questioned consistently of their words and actions. Should you ever see him, or his followers, be wary, and keep a watchful eye.
Aatrox's Colors are Dark Blues, and Greys.
Erebos the Devourer - Destruction, absolution, and yet empty. Erebos is the god of destruction, Cataclysms, Mystical and Forbidden Magicks, and of course, Darkness. Seen as a floating nebula, Black hole, or a cloaked individual without a solid form, many associate him with a Black Hole, and the dangers of Space due to many instances of him devouring entire galaxies, systems, and stars should they displease him.
Followers are shunned even more so than those of Aatrox. Being labeled as a Disciple of Erebos, is not all that great on the reputation of the person. Those who do follow him tend to do so in secrecy. The God is the truest form of Chaotic nature. Unrelenting and showing no remorse for any, it is even thought that the God doesn't even show remorse for his own followers. Called upon by those who seek the destruction, or complete obliteration of an enemy, foe, or people.
Erebos' Colors are Black and Greys.
Hali the Indulgent - Childish, Impish, or even Chaotic are some words to describe the Aesir. While Hali has been shown as both Male and Female forms, the God is known for the "fun" or "sinful" actions of individuals. As many associate Hali with the Sins of the flesh, desires of the heart that are spur of the moment, She is without any real plan, agenda, or concrete stance.
Mischievous in the truest form, Hali and her followers do what they desire in the name of having fun, or to enjoy themselves. Where as Aatrox sets out for a purpose, and reason and a specific agenda, Hali has none. Seen as the Party God, anything related to parties, sexual desires, Drinking, Gambling, or just anything that is considered as such. The truest sense of Chaotic in nature, this is merely a small example of what this God can be remembered and shown as.
Hali's Colors are Purple, Pinks, and Yellows.
Inari the Reviver - Loved and worshiped by man, Inari is considered the kindest of the ten. A natural healer, supporter, and peaceful. She seeks nothing more than to bring her people to their height, to better the lives of her followers, and the Morossi people in general. The Mother of the Morossi, She is named as for her motherly attributes, for birth and life of those who are of the faith. She holds all of her people close to her heart.

Ruthless in battle, war, and even considered evil for his desire of the blood of the enemies to Moross. He desires nothing more than the height of battle, the slaughter of foes, and the defeat of all enemies standing in the path of him, and his people.
Worshiped by the defeat, and death of enemies, many of his followers are high ranking generals, veterans, or warriors who seek the throes of war. The Warrior God and patron of War itself, He is the one called upon when the fate of enemies of the Moross needed to be cut and ended prematurely.

Followed by soldiers and warriors, she is called upon, and prayed to during times of battle for aim to stay true, for swords to stay sharp, and the mind to be aware of all around them. She is the one called upon by those who seek Judgement of their foes, and subsequent exacting of that judgement.

Liad the Plague Bearer - Known as one of the most questioned Gods and followers, Liad is the aptly patron and god of disease, plagues, or sickness in general. He is typically also associated with the death and decay of life. Shown as a man hunched over in ragged clothing with boils, and diseased covered body, His followers are those of testing of the faith, and the seeking of the cure.
While Liad is also associated with the cure of sickness as well, He is sought as a god that is neutral in all parties. Providing a test to those who become sick, and should you overcome this sickness with the cure, you would be welcomed into the Great Hall. Yet, it is unsure if the god is more sinister in nature only desiring to see his people decay and fall apart, only to watch them scrabble trying to put the pieces back together.

Neth the Keeper - Knowledge, Scribe, Librarian, and Scholar. Neth is the pillar of knowledge and all that comes from it. Shown as a scholar or a being who desires knowledge above all, He is known for the hoarding or collection of all knowledge within the galaxy.
