Lesser Deities

Lesser Deities, or commonly referred to as just 'gods', are the celestial beings who descended from the Heavenlands to Lamaria, but did not create beings of their own. Whilst they do not create, they are masters of their terrestrial muse, whose aptitudes in their chosen theme are seen as superpowers next to even the most practised of Man. Their domains range from crafts, to atheltics, to fields of knowledge. Each Lesser Deity often dwells where their muse is most prevalent, and is therefore associated with the peoples or empyrean of the area.

Conflicts of Interests
When two lesser Deities vie for the attainment of a single aptitude, contests are arranged between the gods to determine who will be titled so. These known and witnessed on Lamaria are:

Mendoah and Vilthen

The two watched the games played by the Men of Ostre, the feats of strength and endurance they put themselves through, and both wanted to call such games their own. It was Ostre himself who drew unto them a javelin from the etha, and told whoever, from the plains by High Ostre, could hurl it farthest would be named champion of sportships. Vilthen named his spear the Snathad, and hurled it south, for south lay no city or township. Snathad landed shy of the coast, and is said to be the rocky spire known by the same name that stands today.

Mendoah did not give his javelin name, but just threw it, and over Snathad it sailed before plummetting into the ocean beyond. This is thought to be outcrop visible from the south-Rhoman coast.

Bargonthrang and Rildunthrang
With Karmulkour, they fought for the greatest of mountains, but realising Karmulkour's superiority within the sphere they stepped down, and argued between that such granite pillars were made from. And it was Karmulkour who gifted the contest, stating whoever could beat down one of his mountains would be named the patron of the rocks. Into the Thanvils they stepped, each choosing amountain to fell. Both mountains crumbled under their might, and unable to seperate the two of them, Karmulkour divided their sphere into rocks strong and study, and rocks delicate and beautiful. The beaten mountains were called Isel.

Larennor and Carybdyus
Larennor and Carybdyus for a time both held the spheres of song and music in harmony. The eventual conflict between them was equally as mutual, and as they went their seperate ways Larennor become practised only in music, and Carybdyus only in song.
