[ongoing] Encyclopedia of Deities
« on: December 05, 2016, 01:04:19 pm »
(OOG note: This is the player-run encyclopedia of minor deities.  To add an entry, please use the form at https://goo.gl/forms/dA4pIyAdOeE2RzgW2 .  Questions, please direct to Dave Leung (Marcel de Giverny).  The full encyclopedia is available at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B1wTvwbY_-eVYXZTTkhXV3NyQk0)

I have tried to keep some basic notes on the various deities whose Favored have visited The City.  I've copied some of my notes here; more info is welcome.

Longer Description
Bookmaker VenThe God of LawnsMaleGambling and Bookmaking (i.e., betting)Trickery
Risk
Knowledge
SakithaBookmaker Ven is a patron god for gamblers and bookies, with his following mostly being in the City of Dreams and the Land of Gold and Silver.  Most laypeople following Bookmaker Vel do so in his gambling aspect; he is revered by many of the Land's bookies in his other aspect, and taking wagers is a large part of his priesthood's sacred duties.
Chaudette-none-FemaleDeity of Hot SpringsWater
Rejuvenation
Community
TisaneChaudette is the deity of hot spring baths, which can be found throughout the lands.  She very rarely manifests in the physical form, but instead makes her presence known by altering water temperature, or by smoothing or agitating the springwater.  Her favored pools will have nearly impossible temperature gradients, such that visitors can find just the right temperature by only shifting slightly around the pools.  Usually pools will be burbling, which many find relaxing, although there are times when visitors will implore Chaudette for still waters, which She often grants.  The visitors then set out floating tables and a floating picnic ensues.
Imbali-none-GenderlessFlowersPlant
Rejuvenation
Dream
Tamal
Minsin
Imbali's followers work closely with those of Tamal and Minsin, but their focus is on those plants that bring beauty into people's lives.
Jade Font-none-GenderlessDebts and balancesCommunity
Water
Sanction
IzailThey oversee unpaid debts and things not in balance, typically at a very personal level.  Water is strongly associated with the deity - as the wry saying goes, it's not the deity's tears that wash away the pain, but the tears from the person forced to confront the imbalance combined with the tears of the listener who is finally heard.
Nashoto-none-Deity of traveling, air, and birds
-none-
TyrissiRedeemer of the Zoku, Handmaiden of DreamsFemaleRedemption, healingRejuvenation
Knowledge
Risk
The Dreaming GoddessTyrissi is devoted to the eventual redemption of the Zoku, by proving that they are worthy of it with selfless acts.  Specifically, she is a goddess of healing, and healing without hope for reward.  It is said that she was instrumental in getting the Dreaming Goddess and the Assembly to make the promise of eventual redemption to the Zoku and restoration of their homeland to the defeated Heretic Queen.  In return, She promised herself to be a servant to the Lady of Dreams.
VenennzzeGod of FavorsFavorsCommunity
Trickery
Risk
-none-Favors asked for and granted in Venenzze's name are considered the most sincere and important to uphold. Temples are usually limited to urban centers and serve to collect donations, known as favors, and redistribute them to less fortunate citizens.
Vykress-none-FemaleExploration and discoveryExploration
Pattern
Risk
-none-Vykress looks favorably upon those who seek to discover, uncover, and expand knowledge of the world and those who live or have lived within it.

I was also told Tyrissi used the symbol of the snake, which is interesting, because that makes two healer snake gods.  Or at least 2 names.

Nashoto - I do not know the gender.
Primarily worshipped by Zoku.  God(dess) of travelling, air, and birds.
Note:  Irina Yorik, the "chicken guard" reveres Nashoto (not favored).  Irina also hunts with owls, because she heard our people used to do that.
Note:  My (Branka) pathfolds are associated with Air, and the ritual word for Air is "Nashoto".
I'm thinking this connects to the Owl tribe of legend.

As Favored of Tyrissi, I say wit certainty dat Her symbol is a snake.  Also as Favored of Tyrissi, I can say dat I am not sure WHY it is snake.  Dere has been speculation about it in my Order, but no conclussive proof found.

Do you know the primary/secondary/tertiary domains of Nashoto, Branka?

It is Air, Exploration and Rejuvenation, though I don't know the order.  I'm going to take a wild stab and said Air is primary...
