Modrukos

Modrukos
Greater Deity
DvR 19
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Domains: Good, Chaos, Magic, Knowledge, Moon, Destruction, Illusion
Portfolio: magic, the moon, surprise, mysteries, irony, illusion, humor
Symbol: An empty blue circle

Description: Modrukos is the patron of magic in the world of Gray Spirit. He is the son of Sarmana the Queen of Enlightenment. Modrukos is a being of many faces. You can see him in the wizard blasting an army into oblivion. You can see him in the astronomer learning of the stars. Or you could see even in the illusionist pleasing the crowd. Whoever he may be to you, he has been a dear friend to humanity for longer than even the dragons can remember.

The history of Modrukos has been a tricky one to record, as he has been around for so long that no one, not even the dragons know enough about him to even summarize his existance. What is known of Modrukos is that he is a defender of the realms from the Outside(space). He has been gaurdian of the world for millenia, and it appears as if he shows no sign of slowing down in his old age.(Modrukos jokes)

However you portray the gods, either as the fathers of freedom for the world, or as senile old basket cases full of demands, you more than likely have a fondness in your heart somewhere for Modrukos.

Sarmana Queen of Enlightenment
:Supreme Power
Alignment:Above human perception, but apparently chaotic good
Portfolio:Magic,Enlightenment,Mysticism
Domains:Good,Chaos,Magic,Knowledge
FavoredWeapon:Fist
Symbol:Blue Aura surrounding a fist
Description:Sarmana is the Queen of the gods.She is the patron of magic, wisdom, and mysticism.As such, she is supreme master of wizards, wisemen,scholars,priests, and even ordinary people seeking enlightenment.Sarmana may be enlightened, but she still has great anger welled within her against the forces of evil.She has sponsored countless arcane heroes against tyrants and villains throughout the ages.Being the Mother of Enlightenment, Sarmana is somewhat of a love goddess, so she is instilled with great passion.
Dogma:Whether magic or fist, wisdom or sword, let passion guide you.Follow not into the ways of darkness, let love be in your bones all of your days.If you do follow darkness, let no one follow into your ways, lest the wrath of the Goddess consume you.

Gaili the Allfather
Ultimate God
Alignment: apparently Neutral Good, but above human perception
Portfolio:Good,Love,Destiny
Domains:Good,Love,Fate
Favored Weapon:Falchion
Symbol:A heart
Description:Gaili is the father of Sarmana the Queen of Enlightenment.He is the greatest and most powerful of the gods.It is unknown how he came into existence.It is said that he once slumbered in the Time Before Existence, a time where there was no time, and reality was the plaything of Those That Were.After aeons of slumber in the Great Heart, he burst forth, and created the multiverse.What was left of the Heart was a great, gray colored light,which is what the planet of Gray Spirit is named after.No one knows what the light is, it is said to be the source of the gods nurishment.After Gailie created the multiverse, he realized he could not be everywhere, so he pricked his finger with his sword, and a drop of blood landed on the ground of Gray Spirit.The blood soon formed into the Tree of Worlds, which looks after us while we are yet in the womb.Gailie ihas been true to his nature the moment he burst forth from the blood of the Heart.He despises evil and will destroy it if it should threaten the gods and wipe out all existence.
Dogma:Look to Gailie, look to Gailie for sustenance in your easy and hard times, oh children of the Heart.Hate not, and turn not your ways the soul of destruction.Love those who do evil, and love those who do good.Love those even who do not, for they are of the blood of Gailie.
