The Gods
When the Empire conquered Epsilon they integrated each Kingdoms head god or goddess into the Pantheon, replacing or merging them with the gods they already had in order to help people transition smoothly. The five major gods of the Epsilon Pantheon are the Patron gods to one of the Kingdoms while the Patron of Lionis is considered the "god of gods" Other gods still exist as well and are considered part of the original gods of each kingdom, however when they where brought into the larger pantheon of Epsilon some of the aspects they once held were stripped from them or they were mixed with another god.
God of Lionis
Zedekiah, god of gods, sits on a throne of white marble with gold inlay. He is the God of honor, law, and justice as he holds the scales of balance to weigh your truth in one hand and a sword of purest silver in the other so that he may cleave from you the penance you owe to not just the gods but to society.
Born from a on night of union most violent Zedekiah came into the world a product of the war, his mother a simple phoenix peasant girl and his father a ruthless dragon general. In order to save her village the Phoenix girl spent the night with the general, and nine months after...Zedekiah came into the world.
As a half breed at the start of an era of peace Zedekiah was not accepted into this new world of tolerance and he would have kept to himself, unknown as a simple farm boy until he heard the first king of Lionis speak of justice.
This spurred Zedekiah to become the greatest judge in all of Epsilon. He took not one bribe, treating everyone as equal, and listening to all sides before passing judgement upon them on behalf of the king. He would live a happy life but die early at only the age of 44, surrounded by loved ones, the last words he would hear before his death where from his aging mother. For as she clutched his hand in hers she whispered the simplest words that meant the most to him "Thank you" and as he passed away his soul went up to the heavens, and he ascended into godhood, as the god of Justice, Honor, and the Law.

God of Zalto
Mnerolth is the God of Flight, Tradition, and Power. Sitting atop a throne made from pure gold he holds an old sword between his hands, the sword of Zalto, an ancient blade laid to rest with Mnerolth and said to have the magic of the gods imbued in its hilt, so that whenever Zalto is threatened Mnerolth's blade will shatter the tomb and come protect its people.
Mnerolth was the commander of the Dragon army during the war, he was powerful and strong as he fought tooth and claw for the safety of his people. When Phobos the insane found the darkest of magic's he was around to stop it. He lead his legions against the Insane Dragon and his followers, fighting with the Phoenix to put an end to his madness, and he succeeded.
Mnerolth was around when the first kingdom sprung up, and unlike his peers and allies who tried to rip down the symbol of peace, Mnerolth instead was the first to pledge his loyal to the first king as a way for the blood shed to end, for the rivers of Epsilon to once again flow clear and the land to become healthy once more.
So when he bowed his head to him the land seemed to see that he was trying to redeem himself and his people and he rose to the status of God, so that he could help guide the world in peace and tradition. Mnerolth is what every dragon strives to be. Traditional, respectful, and powerful enough to know when they should pass the torch.

Goddess of Ethe
Agni Ignatia Agni was killed in January 202, by Dixon Titanus in the City of Ashes.
Agni Ignatia Agni is a strange yet simple goddess, she comes from the heat of the mines and the vapers that drive men mad inside them. She is the goddess of Fire, Gems, Mining...and well gems. She sits among the gods on a throne made of star rubies, her shapely body created from steam as she looks out upon the people of Ethe, with lips full and inviting, a face of purest beauty, and eyes of Star Rubies that look deep within your souls.
Agni is perhaps the strangest of the gods, and the latest to join the pantheon. The Story goes well the same until the end.... A mere fifty years ago Ethe was running low on Coin as a group of Ethen Miners where deep below ground attempting to follow a narrow vein of silver in hopes that they would hit the jackpot.
It is said that this vein disappeared between two stones and the youngest struck the two rocks dead center, causing them to collapse. As the two rocks collapsed steam poured forward causing the young man to scream and reel backward, his eyes where taken from him and his left hand burnt by the boiling hot steam
As the steam slowly filtered away many of the men thought they saw the form of a beautiful curvaceous woman beconing them forward though the newly made hole in the mine, and when they stepped though the hole they where greated by the motherload...a cavern of gems that would still be mined to this very day fifty years later, All the stones of all colors.
But the strangest thing was that no red stone was anywhere except for on the farthest wall, as in the shape of a very tall, shapely woman as a large cluster of rubies with two star rubies in the center of the head that made them believe they where looking into the eyes of a god.
The story differs now depending on who speaks of her...some say she was a goddess created by the minds of the people of Ethe, a people that needed guidance and a stroke of luck...others say Agni Ignatia Agni was just waiting to be found, waiting for the miners to knock down the rocks hiding her...but the truth of the mater remains. The King of Ethe at the time ordered the rubies not be touched, and Agni Ignatia Agni became the goddess of the Ethen people.

Goddess of Bellris
Reborn as Salome Bellris year 201, This is not known to anyone
Antari is one of the gods of Epsilon and though she is very young of face she is in fact over 100 years old. She is the goddess of Darkness, Shadows, and Violent Death, she governs the emotions of hatred and Resentment. She is the patron of Bellris as she sits on a dark throne of Ebony that bleeds the last full moon of the year. She is a dark, feared and beloved goddess of the Bellris people, her body covered fully by her dark robes and veil. Two melanic birds accompany her, Silk and Carrion, one of which rests on her shoulder while the other rests on her wrist.
Antari was not always thought of as a dark, vindictive woman. In fact she was once a happy beautiful child, the daughter of the very Phoenix Bellris. Antari would be taught all that her mother knew and Antari would grow to be the first ruler of the Kingdom of Bellris. Coming to the throne at only age fourteen after her mothers untimely assassination Antari would be wise and powerful, but not well liked.
Antari would bring Bellris to power but she would not keep it, as on her sixteenth year in this world a troupe of men who did not see a woman fit to rule stormed the Bellris castle, which at that time lacked security. A Blade was taken to Antari's face and body and she bled to death...and to add insult to injury the men who stormed the castle stripped Antari of her crown and clothing before hanging her on the palace walls.
For Five years Antari's body would rot, but not a single carrion bird touched her...and at the end of those five years her vengeance would come, Men and Women both who where fed up with the tyrant who sat on the throne stormed the castle and had him beheaded. A new Queen, a Cousin to Antari, was placed on the throne and Antari's body was taken down from the palace walls, A veil and clothing placed over her body and she was placed to rest in the tomb.
Antari never "Ascended" into godhood like others may think she would have, she was just a spirit who wandered Bellris until finally so many worshipped her that she was brought into godhood by her peoples devotion, but also unlike the other gods she did not regain beauty or power, she was stuck with a face and body full of cuts and scars and ever since then she had worn a veil over her face and dressed very modestly to hide them.

He hid for days and when his siblings never came for him months and months later he finally came out to find that the river had dried up and all that was left was a small pond where he had been hiding. He started to cry and cry until the land finally spoke to him. The land told him "I'm sorry, I did not see you when I lifted myself...please Do not cry. I'm lonely too, Would you like to be friends?" and ever since then Ecruos and the god / goddess that lifted the land became best of friends, though he never got to see his best friends face. Ecruos became loyal to this land, to this faceless god / goddess even as he grew older and new gods emerged. Ecruos travelled all over the land playing with his faceless friend and everywhere he went he began to make a river though the land and as he moved though the land the water he brought also gave way to life. Then one day thousands of years later as Ecruos and his faceless friend where near the northern edge of Epsilon his friend said to him "I think I am going to sleep for a while Ecruos...please keep the rivers flowing...for as long as you do I will be alive and one day I will awaken again and we can play once more" Ecruos agreed and responded "I will wait for you to awaken once more in the place we first met" and so when the land fell asleep Ecruos went back to the source and kept the river flowing, as the river touched every part of the land that he had been with his best friend, and ever since then Ecruos kept the river flowing in hopes that one day his friend will reawaken.

Thousands upon thousands of Mirrors all over the walls and the floor and the ceiling, even the pews are made of some type of very hard mirror that allows you to sit on them. You do not need to be a follower of the Church of Onera to be aloud into the chapel as you will see if you talk to any one of their people, called Maids of Onera if they where women and Footmen of Onera of they are men. As you walk up to the front of the church you will find one thing that is strange, a mask made out of mirror shards with the word YOU carved into the glass, The one they call Onera is you...and that is what Onera is, the followers believe that everyone is their own god or goddess, even as they hold service you will hear it in the chant "I am a warrior, I am a servant, I am a king, I am a queen, I am my own being, I am my own god, I am One"
