Airana is said to be the daughter of Florasena, but all references to Airana refer to her having an Elf-like appearance.

She uses the seeds from the Garden of Life to plant the seed of life in expecting mothers.

Larn’s eyes are described as celestial, while Akana’s eyes change depending on where he is (land, his eyes are green; sea, his eyes are blue; frozen, his eyes are white; and in the air, his eyes are transparent). He is primarily worshiped by Rangers and sailors, above all else.
Arkanda was one of the eight deities killed when Lakrona ascended after the successful summoning by the Drow Priestess, Krill’ith Grix’thall.
DRAKENFIEL – God Of Wisdom
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)
Domain: Knowledge (Primary), Life, Nature
Alias: The Giver, Erintar
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Worshipers: Farmers, Priests, Commoner
Symbol: The two moons with a line of five stars between the two spherical moons
Born from Nifika and the Immortal known as Sarynfar (“The Star Gazer”), Drakenfiel was born with a natural sense of incredible wisdom. Though farmers, priests and commoners look to Drakenfiel for wisdom and answers to problems they may be enduring in life; in truth, there are few who do not look to Drakenfiel for help during their lives.
The legend behind Drakenfiel is that there is no question that he does not know the answer to. However, Drakenfiel has taken it upon himself to ensure that not every single question is answered; and he will more often than not simply give clues, rather than direct answers. It had been Drakenfiel’s wisdom that had uncovered the answer to who had unleashed the disease upon the Immortals that took so many lives. Legend also states that Drakenfiel even knows the when the Day of Terrarack will occur, suggesting that perhaps he is gifted with visions of the future as well, as a part of his wisdom and knowledge.
Drakenfiel is always accompanied by a mystical raven named Foresight on his shoulder. Through the raven’s eyes, Drakenfiel is said to be able to see anything he desires (except for when Akanda and his wolf, Larn, wish to remain out of sight).
Drakenfiel was one of the eight deities killed when Lakrona ascended after the successful summoning by the Drow Priestess, Krill’ith Grix’thall.
ELLAROS – God of Nature and Roots.
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)
Domain: Life (Primary), Knowledge, Nature, War
Alias: The Ancient Root, The World Root
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: True Neutral
Worshipers: Druids, Rangers, Forest Gnomes, Wild Elves
Symbol: A large tree, with six roots pointing down, three branches to the left and right, and a large tree top – all in front of a yellow circle.
When Kariayn perished and her blood dripped upon the world – giving life to Treants life – there was one, an ancient Tree who gained sentience and absorbed her blood into its roots – and in doing so gained much of her power. Florasena sensing her daughter’s power elevated Ellaros into Aftgrand – the Higher Plane. Ellaros is often worshiped now by those who enjoy the balance of Nature, as well as many Wild Elves and the Forest Gnomes (whose population is quite low). Ellaros uses roots to plant Treants in woods in need of protection – often becoming homes for Dryads in those woods. Ellaros has also offered his branches as arrows or spears for Lynzee, goddess of the hunt.
During the battle with As’zar’vari’tium, Ellaros sacrificed his essence by aiding the Champions in the Arena of the Gods.
ELENAR – God Of Wind, Fire, Water
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)
Domain: Tempest (Primary), Knowledge, Life
Alias: Hevanar
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: True Neutral
Worshipers: Commoners, Farmers, Sailors
Symbol: Drawing of wind, forming a tidal wave, headed towards a fire
Born by the pairing of Florasena and an Immortal by the name of Hurchen, it is said that there are few as temperamental as Elenar. Elenar is often worshiped most by the sailors who dare the dark oceans of KneUrth, praying for good wind to fill their sails, and calm oceans.
It often, according to legend, takes very little for Elenar to lose his temper, often causing devastating storms across land and ocean, and along with it, destruction of unimaginable scales. It is said because of his lack of control over his temper, is why he is often regarded as True Neutral, as he seems to care very little what happens on the world of KneUrth when enraged with one of his emotional fits.
Elenar was one of the eight deities killed when Lakrona ascended after the successful summoning by the Drow Priestess, Krill’ith Grix’thall.
KARIAYN – Goddess Of Forests and Fae
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)
Domain: Nature (Primary), Life, Light, Trickery
Alias: Faedancer, Keri
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Worshipers: Druids
Symbol: Appears to be a person, with their arms out stretched and their feet are roots with ten dots above each arm
Kariayn, the twin of Lynzee, and daughter of Florasena and Reechurd, seemed to be the more magically inclined of the two twins. While Lynzee seemed to be more like her father, and centered on being able to adjust with nature and hunt with nature; Kariayn seemed to be more on her mother’s side, and more enhanced with magic, and the desire to bring life to the world.
Legend states that Kariayn had sought permission from her mother to also bring life to the world, as the others in The Circle had done; but Florasena told her that she was not a Greater Deity, and thus would not be able to control the intense magic it takes to weave the Thread of Life. Skortaurian, the dark god known for his vile trickery, offered to help Kariayn. He explained that he would need several drops of blood from Florasena in order to help her. Kariayn was reluctant to believe Skortaurian truly had wanted to help her, but her desire to create life had gotten the best of her. Using one of Lynzee’s arrowheads, she nicked Florasena’s arm as she slept; drawing several drops of blood. When she returned to Skortaurian with the vials, he tried to take them all, but she had managed to wrestle one away from him.
Having seen Florasena perform the magic required for the Thread of Life, she disobeying her mother, Kariayn attempted the Thread of Life, and became responsible for the Fae that populate the world of KneUrth, such as: Brownies, Centaurs, Dryads, Leprechauns, Pixies, Satyrs, Sprites, Sylphs, among others. While this infuriated Florasena that Kariayn had attempted the Thread of Life, and made a number of mischievous creatures; Kariayn was also responsible for the creation of both the Sacred Unicorn and The Pegasus. The attempt at the Thread Of Life, however, drained her of all her magical energy, depleting her. Before she died, she wept tears of joy, witnessing her creations. It is said those tears, fell from the heavens, and where it touched a tree, it gave it life, creating Treants, as her final act.
KRAUZDEN – God of Wind and Flight
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)

Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Worshipers: Avian Humanoids
Symbol: Two feathers crisscrossing in front of a moon
Krauzden is the god of the avian humanoids of the world. The one whom he has turned his back on, however, is the Kenku, who believed eventually, they would fly higher than their god. Krauzden removed their ability to fly, removed their ability to speak, and removed their ability to form their own creative thoughts. As a result, other avian humanoids do not look kindly on the Kenku for their betrayal against their chosen deity.
Krauzden was one of the eight deities killed when Lakrona ascended after the successful summoning by the Drow Priestess, Krill’ith Grix’thall.

While Kren is regarded as Neutral Good, there are Dwarven Paladins who are Lawful Good, who swear allegiance and loyalty to Kren and the Dwarven Glory.
During the battle with As’zar’vari’tium, Kren sacrificed his essence by aiding the Champions in the Arena of the Gods.

Those who do not worship her, she’s extremely cruel to. She’s said to have hair as white as snow and eyes as blue as the clearest skies. It’s also said that, at will, she can “gaze into the soul” of a person with her piercing gaze, and “freeze their soul” causing death. She travels with a giant polar bear named Megra.

Domain: Tempest (Primary), Life
Alias: Thunder Bringer
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: True Neutral
Worshipers: Commoners, Farmers, Sailors, Warriors
Symbol: A Hammer with a Bolt of Lightning behind it
Twin sister to Elenar, Tarvara was born by the pairing of Florasena and an Immortal by the name of Hurchen. Elenar is known for his temper, while Tavara is known for her wrath. Many warriors call upon Tavara just before battle hoping to feel the wrath and fury that she is known for. Many will plan their battles based on the weather, if there’s promise of rain, that is when they’re most likely to engage in war, believing Tavara watches over them.
Tavara rides a magnificent celestial war horse named Avarin (Thunder of the Heavens) that appears to be a cross between a pegasus and a unicorn; bearing both the wings of a pegasus as well as the unique horn on its forehead, that unicorns are known for. Many speculate that the pegasus’ and the unicorns on the prime material plane were all born from Tavara’s magnificent steed. Many believe the sound of thunder in the heavens comes from Tavara riding Avarin through the heavens.
Tavara was one of the eight deities killed when Lakrona ascended after the successful summoning by the Drow Priestess, Krill’ith Grix’thall.
VALINGARD – God Of Honor, War
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)

Alias: Valor, The Valiant One
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Worshipers: Warriors, Commoners, Paladins, Minotaurs
Symbol: A shadowed soldier kneeling down, with a poleaxe in their hand
Perhaps one of the most noble of all the Planes, there are few more valiant, honorable and heroic than Valingard (whose name became known as “The Guard of Valor”). Valingard is the son of Floraena and an Immortal by the name of Truengard, who was often called “The Holy Knight.”
Truengard was one of the many Immortals who had become infected with the disease that Skortaurian had unleashed upon them. Though dying, Truengard led the forces of the Immortals at the Circle against the Circle of Shade. Though he fell in combat, it was Valingard, still young at this time, who picked up his father’s blade and shield and led the fractured forces of the Immortals against the Circle of Shade. It was also Valingard who severed Skortaurian’s right arm in combat, forcing the Circle of Shade to retreat.
Legend states that the world will end one day, when mortals shall be called to do battle in the Higher Plane of Aftgrand, against the Circle of Shade, led by Valingard, a day that has been called Terrarack (meaning “(which loosely translates to an end to all that ever began”) when Valingard is killed, and his father’s sword (Valinblade – The Blade of Valor) and shield (Valingard – for which he is named after, the Guard of Valor) are destroyed.
During the battle with As’zar’vari’tium, Valingard sacrificed his essence by aiding the Champions in the Arena of the Gods.
VALRANA – Goddess of Life
Intermediate Deity (Deceased)
Domain: Life (Primary), Love, Nature
Alias: The Life Giver
Plane: Aftgrand, The Higher Plane.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Worshipers: Priests, Mothers
Symbol: Two hands holding up an infant with the sunrise behind it
Valrana was entrusted with the Essence of Life when the world was still young, and after the death of Kariayn. Florasena was now too busy to keep track of all the life forms and took the time to teach Valrana how to weave life with the Essence of Life. She became the favored goddess of priests and expecting mothers, who loved her faithfully. However, Valrana’s own life would be cut short. A demon lord named Orcus sought to over throw Demogordon, who called himself the Prince of Demons. In order to do so he knew he would need more power. He developed a plan to enter Aftgrand and steal the Essence of Life, so that he could forge an army in his own image to help destroy Demogorgon. When Brezden discovered the Hades dimension, he fled, unaware that he was followed by Orcus (who had been watching him). Orcus confronted Valrana and demanded the secret of the Essence of Life. She fought Orcus and lost, and Orcus stole the Essence of Life, leaving her dead.
