Dus - Sword Of Bheleu Part 27

PRIA: Fourth among the Lords of Eir, Pria is the G.o.ddess of love, friendship, and peace, and of beneficial emotions generally, the exact opposite and counterpart to Aghad. She is one of the most popular deities.

REGVOS: The more popular of the two aspects of Andhur Regvos, sixth Lord of Des, Regvos is the G.o.d of blindness, ignorance, stupidity, and folly.

SAI: Fifth among the Lords of Dus, Sai is the G.o.ddess of pain and suffering.

Where her brother Aghad dominates the actively negative emotions, Sai is the ruler of the pa.s.sively negative: despair, sorrow, acquiescence, masochism. She is secretly worshipped by those with a s.a.d.i.s.tic streak throughout the world, since physical pain is within her province.

SAVEL SKAI: Arkhein G.o.d of the sun; the name means "the bright shining one."

Popular to swear by, but not seriously worshipped by civilized people.

SNEG: Sneg is G.o.d of the winter, one of the four Arkhein falling into the subcategory of Yaroi, or G.o.ds of the seasons. He is worshipped only by those who depend upon him, such as ice-cutters.

SIM: Arkhein G.o.d of cold, usually closely a.s.sociated with Sneg.

TEMA: Seventh of the Lords of Dus, Tema is the G.o.ddess of the night and its creatures. She is the patroness of most of the population of Dusarra and much of the rest of Nekutta as well.

WEIDA: Arkhein G.o.ddess of wisdom, Weida is worshipped by scholars and seers everywhere.
