Category:Ilith'ari

Sidereus has a long mythological history detailing the world’s progression from the First Age where the universe was created by the overgod Amin’Zerû, to the Fourth Age, where the game will begin. Sidereus is now ruled over by a group of very powerful beings known to the ancient races of the world as the Ilith’ari. According to legend, the Ilith’ari were the forces that created Sidereus, shaping the mountains and the oceans, and setting time itself into motion. Due to their tremendous power, the Ilith’ari are often revered by the people of Sidereus and elevated as gods.

Of the Ilith’ari there are Thirteen high deities who govern the others. Onûs, the betrayer, is the only truly fallen god of all the gods of Sidereus. He is the god of Darkness, and his goal is to undo the creation that has flourished until now. He is opposed by many of the other Twelve major Ilith’ari, though some of the remaining deities follow him.

To people in the world of Sidereus, the gods are a very real force in the world. They do not question their existence, for celestial beings and infernal creatures roam the earth just as surely as beasts of the land and birds of the air. Powerful magic can be invoked through the will of the gods, and creatures great and small succumb to the will of the divine without question.
