Overview
Supreme deity and detached ruler of the pantheon, with five aspects corresponding to the five colors of magic (White/Blue/Black/Red/Green). Has not been seen or heard from in generations; rests in a tomb at the center of the orbits of the setting's five... (per source: "five moons" — reconcile against the confirmed four-moon count from Calendar for 4-Moon Planet - 2023-04-10, a minor inconsistency worth resolving) until his return.
The pantheon structure
Built explicitly on Magic: The Gathering's five-color (WUBRG) system:
- Single-color gods — the Five Mothers (see below) and their Right-Hand Sons
- Two-color demigods — allied pairs (Aemestra, Ophindris, Vexthra, Talanor, Elendrial) and enemy pairs (Ulthora, Thaelis, Vorenth, and others)
- Three-color demigods — combine three colors of magic, serve a primary color god with presence in at least two other courts
- Four-color divine champions — combine four colors, represent a specific color and serve in a specific court
The Five Mothers and their Right-Hand Sons
| Mother | Color | Domain | Right-Hand Son | Domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alarisse | White | Unity, Order, Protection | Seraphiel | Enforcer of justice, commander of celestial armies |
| Luminara | Blue | Knowledge, Manipulation, Illusion | Maelstrix | Keeper of secrets, master of illusions |
| Noctyra | Black | Ambition, Death, Undeath | Xantheros | Reaper of souls, guide to the afterlife |
| Ignissa | Red | Chaos, Destruction, Emotion | Ragnaros | Bringer of calamities, embodiment of wrath |
| Sylvanna | Green | Nature, Growth, Life | Cernunys | Guardian of the wilds, lord of the hunt |
Two-color demigods (partial roster)
Allied pairs: Aemestra (WU, wisdom/strategy/harmony), Ophindris (UB, secrets/intrigue/knowledge), Vexthra (BR, ambition/passion/destruction), Talanor (RG, freedom/nature/change), Elendrial (GW, growth/healing/compassion). Enemy pairs: Ulthora (WB, order/morality/ambition), Thaelis (UR, ingenuity/adaptation/emotion), Vorenth (BG, decay/rebirth) — roster incomplete, only partially surveyed so far.
Liturgical structure
Each deity in the pantheon is given, per the founding session: a portfolio, a holy day/cause of celebration, a description of how followers celebrate, and a death ritual for followers. Example (Alarisse): celebrated on the "Harmonious Solstice" (equal day/night length); followers process in white and gold, perform acts of service; the dead are wrapped in white linen and interred in a sacred crypt.
The "true name" project (Zoquean root-language work)
A later session attempted to give Orystria a constructed "true name" — Niksnaak Tonatiak — built from a Zoquean-based proto-language intended as this world's Proto-Indo-European analog, the root ancestor of the setting's other conlangs (like Paktonyelv). Not yet reconciled against the rest of the pantheon's naming.

Naming note
"Narset," a three-color demigoddess named in the founding pantheon session, was explicitly flagged by the author in that same conversation as "(temporary name, lifted from Magic)" — confirmed placeholder, not an intentional connection to the "Narset" name used elsewhere (an early dropped Mythic Comics AI-companion name, and a real Magic-card reference in unrelated 2026 material).
