Amicia

Goddess of Concord

Amicia, the goddess of Concord is the divinity of peace and harmony. She is one of the five prime gods of Ascendes and like Inmicus and Libera she does not have active duty or a job. Amicia represents peace, harmony and pacifistic way of life. However Amicia or her subjects won’t shun the concept of violence or war, if it leads to peace. Furthermore Amicia doesn’t shun the use of oppression or slavery like Libera. Unlike Praesus the god of Order, Amicia avoids aggressive methods as long as possible, instead she prefers the use of diplomacy.

Her avatar is portrayed as a tall, slender and fair woman. She is often illustrated holding a book or a scroll. This is because Amicia is also seen as the deity of logic and knowledge. As you might have already deduced, she is very calm and friendly goddess. Amicia is rarely seen in her physical form. However she prefers to take physical when conversing important matters with her lords and ladies.

Her sub gods represent Coherence, Peace and Tranquility. Amongst scholars, Fides the god of Coherence is seen as the deity of logic and science. Next week we are introducing the god of Sun and his sun powered minions.

See you next Sunday!

Terra

Goddess of Earth

Terra, as her name implies, is the goddess of Earth. You can think her as a construction service. She usually does absolutely nothing, but whenever someone needs a new plane or Acernos or Mundus needs major reshaping and/or fixing Terra goes to work. However, in Mundus’ case she must send her Lords to take care of the problem as gods are forbidden to enter Mundus. Even though Terra is a very passive goddess she is widely worshipped among common folk such as farmers and hunters.

Terra is usually portrayed as a short and plump woman at her fifties. Her avatar is often illustrated as a gentle and motherly figure. Terra is one of the gods that almost never takes physical form. Even when she talks to her Lords and Ladies she almost never shows herself.

Terra’s three sub gods represent Mountains, Animals and Forests. Terra’s sub gods are similar to her in the sense that they are also very passive. Fera the goddess of Animals is responsible for the occasional births of shape shifters. Shape shifters are common humans and demigods who are blessed by Fera and are able to take animal form. As a minor note shape shifters should not be confused with races such as kitsunes and dragons, as they are basically very intelligent demigod animals who are able to take human form.

See you next Sunday!

Inmicus

God of War

Inmicus, the god of War is one of the five prime gods of Acernos. He is the avatar of war and conflict. Much like Libera, Inmicus does not have an active “job”. He is the symbol of strength, bravery and honor. Gods usually delegate leadership of their dominion to their lords or sub gods however Inmicus actually actively rules his dominion.

Avatar of Inmicus is portrayed as a tall and muscular man who often clads armor. His character is often described as self-confident and energetic leader who respects individual prowess. Much like Libera, Inmicus assumes his physical form often as he inspires his legions to war. His hot-headed attitude and affinity towards mortal heroes often leads to him personally blessing war heroes.

His three sub gods are Rigo the god of Tenacity, Asistis the god of Disease and Mephisto the god of Destruction. Mephisto is one of the four sub gods who are bound to their physical body. Mephisto’s physical body is a huge, winged demon. He is the aspect of destruction, violence and other negative facets of war. He is also responsible for the great cataclysm of Mundus over thousand years ago.

Libera

Goddess of Freedom

As some of you might have noticed we did not mention goddess named Libera when we talked about Acernos and Ascendes. This is simply because she used to be called Athea. Now she is called Libera and Athea is one of her sub goddesses. Why we are mentioning this is because Mundus RPG is still work in progress and everything and anything might, and most likely will, change. And now that we are all confused and on the right mind set, let’s talk about Libera.

Libera is the goddess of Freedom and just like Matinia she is one of the five prime gods of Ascendes. Unlike Matinia, Libera does not have a clear or active “job”. Instead she represents freedom and irregularity in the world. She allows all living things to have the freedom of choice and she counter weights the order and stability all other gods, especially Luca and Lumia, represent.

Libera is generally calm but she is also erratic and quite a trickster. Libera’s avatar is usually portrayed as a white toga wearing beautiful woman. Where other prime gods rarely assume physical form, one might actually run into Libera during a midday walk in her dominion. One notable fact about Libera’s dominion is that it is the only dominion in Ascendes that prohibits slavery.

Her three sub goddesses represent Nihilism, Anarchy and Chaos. These three facets of Libera’s nature are things that are not apparent from her title or personality. However they are a very important part of what Libera represents as a deity.
