Divina: Veryema: Veryema is the Divina of Time and is the chief deity of the Divina. She appears in the form of a young, beautiful woman most of the time (usually as the common race of the area), but is also known to appear as a swan. She is responsible for the maintenance of the flow of time. Amore: Amore is the Divina of Love and Beauty. Like Veryema, she appears in the form of a young woman of the relevant race. She is usually invoked as a patron of romance and marriage, and her cults usually serve as refuges for women among other things. Lares: Lares is the Divina of Law. He appears as an old man, usually wearing a long, black robe and carrying a sword. Courts, or the equivalent role, invoke him before proceeding on with a trial. It is said that he judges those who die to determine what happens to them in the afterlife. Goreso: Goreso is the Divina of Wisdom. He appears as an old man like Lares, but wears the robes of a scholar. He is the patron of education, logic, and knowledge. The cults dedicated to them tend to serve as centers for teaching as well as the collecting of books and stories. Denge: Denge is the Divina of Prosperity. He usually appears in the form of a young man with an orange beard, wearing the clothes of a banker and having a pockethingych in his possession. He is the patron of traders and merchants as well as the common laborer. Ophalu: Ophalu is the Divina of Courage. He usually appears in the form of a man in full battle armor. He is the patron of soldiers and all who partake in combat, and his cults are very popular amongst the armies of the world. They teach that true courage is the conquest of fear, not a lack of fear. Diaryne: Diaryne is the Divina of Purity. She appears in the form of a young woman, dressed in white robes. She serves as a reminder of the importance of virtue and morality, serving to fill in the roles relating to such things that do not fall under the spheres of the other Divinas.

Antiva: Barim: Barim is the Antiva of Space. He serves as a counter and complement to Veryema. While she focuses on the management of time, he serves as a manager of space. He usually appears in the form of a young nobleman, and uses charm to tempt people to give up time in order to gain space (such as giving someone unlimited riches in return for shortening their life). Liliak: Liliak is the Antiva of Lust. She serves as a counter and complement to Amore. Liliak tends to encourage people to give into their most basic passions. While occasionally it does end up creating a true sense of love between those involved, just as often it ends up creating a giant mess. She usually appears as a seductive young woman. Tebog: Tebog is the Antiva of Chaos. He does not truly play a role of a counter or complement to any of the Divas. He represents the natural chaos and confusion that exists in life, and usually appears as an eccentric man of varying ages. He also serves as a patron of the arts. Iquiel: Iquil is the Antiva of Forbidden Knowledge. He serves as a counter and complement to Goreso. Goreso encourages people to seek out deep, dark secrets, such as the arts of necromancy. He usually appears as an old man, wearing a hooded cloak. Orcavan: Orcavan is the Antiva of Pestilence. He serves as a counter of sorts to Denge. He plays the role of the spreading of disease and famine, which can serve as a deterrent to uncontrolled growth. He usually appears as a sickly old man. Awame: Awame is the Antiva of Deceit. She serves as a counter and complement to Ophalu. She appears as a woman dressed in the leather armor of thieves, encouraging people to avoid combat and instead sneak, steal, lie, and other such things to meet their goals. For some, this serves as a reminder that not everything must be met with weapons and serves as a complement to Ophalu. Mequm: Mequm is the Antiva of Corruption. He serves as a counter to Diaryne. He fulfills the purpose of encouraging people to their basic emotions and dark sides in the spheres that the other Antiva do not, such as greed. Many under his influence end up becoming some of the most villainous people in existance.
