Cailleach: Goddess of Plants and Trees
Description: Her shard emits bursts of green light that encourages floral growth on a rapid level and produces feelings of serene calm. Surrounded by a verdant floral growth, her shard rests at the center of the Coeden Myrd, or the world tree, the largest tree to exist in the cosmos and the conduit for Cailleach’s soul. When in corporeal form, Cailleach appears as white unicorn with a spiraling horn, her body shrouded in a light green aura.
Lore: Cailleach was once a sophist who helped to regrow Aucturn’s forests after one of the many invasions by Crom’s hordes. Creator of the garden world of Tír Tairngire as well as the long-lived forest dwelling race known as the Lutins. Cailleach’s love for the woods has permeated every aspect of her creations, her mortal guardians are biosemiotic, born with the gift to feel the innate feelings of any plants in their presence.

Dazhbog: God of Frost and Fire
Description: Burning with intense red-orange hue, Dazhbog’s shard radiates burning heat, emitting blasting flames and streams of steaming magma. Covered in layers of fine sand and then insulated in a layer of heat-resistant rock, Dazhbog is the core of Lukomorye, providing heat and warmth to a planet so far from Hyperion’s warmth. In corporeal form Dazhbog appears as Zduhać with crimson and azure colored scales, flames and frost shroud his figure, struggling constantly for dominance over each other. Unlike other Zduhać, Dazhbog has wings and towers over his kin, nearly three times the size of regular adults. His figure radiates barely contained might that even the most dull-witted can notice.
​Lore: Dazhbog was once an archon who ruled over the mountainous valley of Ephyra. After the Uthran’s only incursion into the abyss, he took on their image, to bolster the survivors' fractured psyche and instill confidence in their despairing hearts. Working together with Hyperion, Cailleach and Mizugami, Dazhbog created Lukomorye, a snowy world at the far edges of Hyperion's light, to house the altered Uthrans as they tried to heal their fractured minds. These Uthrans would eventually recover their sanity and become a new race of Eldari, the Zduhać, a draconic race that uses their violent tendencies to help defend other corporeal planets from invasion.

While in mortal guise Mizugami either appears as one of the blue-skinned race or chooses to appear as one of the narwhal, horned whales with the ability to manipulate water in their surroundings.
Lore: The first of among the Eldari, Mizugami was one the only Uthran praetor to return from the depths of Aucturn’s seas after a group set out to purge the Cthyllans from the depths. Creator of the Amabie, a semi-aquatic race that prefers to live on coasts or islands, Mizugami created the seas, rivers, lakes and other bodies of water found across Hyperborea.

Rudra: God of Wind and Air

Rudra is surrounded by waves of invisible wind that can be manipulated at his command. His corporeal form is that of white, black-striped dragon with twin pairs of white-gold feathered wings.
Lore: Once a praetor tasked with guarding the cosmos, Rudra was rewarded for thousands of years of service, and was chosen to lead a group of converted Uthrans who tired of their constant duty either in the void or on Aucturn. Creator of the Kinnara, a winged humanoid race with avian features, as well as their home world of Svarga, Rudra embodies the essence of breath and air.

His eyes are alexandrite cat’s gems, green hued gemstones that shift in color to view different spectrums.

Vosegus was once an Archon who ruled over Xiphon, he relinquished his rule, taking up the task to slay Paigon once the being breached into the corporeal cosmos. Granted an immunity to flames, his body hardened to withstand the destructive forces, Vosegus managed to destroy the rampaging demiurge before it could devastate any of the corporeal worlds.
