30 Days of Mythology: Day 14 — Sephas
"During the age of the Elven Empire, Sephas was also widely viewed as a god of virtue and moral rectitude, due to the association of excellence of character with excellence of ability."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 13 — Valhas
"In the ancient Elven capital of Imperialis, there was a temple dedicated to Valhas whose doors were symbolically opened when the Empire was at war, and ceremonially closed with great pomp and celebration when peace had been achieved."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 12 — Pherais
"Not a goddess of justice in the sense of law codes or legal proceedings, Pherais is rather viewed as the goddess who brings changes of fortune."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 11 — Anassa
"A longstanding, though poorly-understood ritual custom dating to the earliest periods of established worship of the gods of the Ennead holds that Anassa is to be placated with libations of cheese."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 10 — Aivas
"Jovial and boisterous, yet temperamental and quick to anger, Aivas is known for his frequent (albeit usually fairly minor) quarrels with the other gods and grudges against mortals. Similarly, Aivas is known to stir up powerful storms out of sheer boredom."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 9 — Erha
"Erha is seen less as the patron of the acquisition of wealth and more as the sharing of wealth. She brings blessing to mortals with wealth and material success, Erha also demands liberality and generosity of mortals and it is an ancient axiom that the goddess despises no one more than a miser or a cheat, especially one whose conducts unfair business and hordes wealth in her name."
30 Days of Mythology: Day 8 — Iona
"Similarly, while Aeto often appears in the guise of a humble wanderer, Iona is never depicted as anything other than a regal monarch. It is said that while Aeto goes off the wander the mortal world, Iona rules over the gods in his stead as his trusted regent."

30 Days of Mythology: Day 7 — Aeto
"Departing the paradiscal realm of the Distant Verdant Star for reasons that are not elaborated upon in the myths, Aeto became the first god to arrive at the as-yet unformed world of Terrace. Returning to lead his wife, siblings, and eldest children to settle this new world, Aeto initiated the shaping of Terrace."
