The church believes in the mother and the father, Gods & Goddesses. These gods and goddesses are broken into elements groups for each element has a place in the natural order of the world, while the Void stands in the space between, for where there is good, there is always evil. Stood above all others stands Aragos, the higher power and the maker who watches over his children and witness the heavenly battle of good vs. evil. The earthen gods go by the names of Gashe, Menesha. While the earthen goddesses go by the names of Theleba and Gah-Ter. Like in all the elemental groups, four sprits stands, two of each gender, while the Void holds only one divine being due to the currently balance in the world, for the Void stands almost silence in the mists of the elemental world. The other elements have Malteh (M), Resh-Sha (F), Khaan (F) and Ayestelesh (M) for fire. Millewc (M), Wishnac (F), Garmethe (F) and Naeeshas (M) for Air. Reenah (M), Nereh (F), Tayor (F) and Celmeleh (M) for water and finally Mertenah (M/F?) of the Void. It is believes that the matters of the world effect the heavens. For if there is a rise in Void craft, the heavenly powers of the void will become far powerful and rival those of the elements(the good) and the world in turn will be effected by these heavenly changes. These effects by he disastrous for man kind. It is seen as an ideal way that people pursue to educate themselves and increase the welfare of their religious culture. The church encourages one to be educated in the workings of elemental magic if capable due to the popular belief of it helping tilts the heavily balances in the direction of good, yet the Church also encourages other methods of proving ones faith. Often in religious culture, those who stride up the levels in elemental magic often take up the role of monks or figures in the political or religious world, for they are often seen as god touched. The study of magic though it not looked upon as the only way in which to prove ones worth to the gods. Someone with strong beliefs in the gods can show their belief though prayer and meditation, as well as going on pilgrimages or fighting in the name of the gods during battle and such. Some believe that by understanding of all nature, of all things surrounding them, they will be taken into the arms of the lord in the after life. While others believe achieving wisdom and skill can bring a person closer to the gods. Religious beliefs differ from race to race, person to person but all resolve around the same basic rules. The heavens and the earth are a places where the forces of good fight those of evil.

Each element is represented by two goddesses and two gods, each holding control over a certain aspect of our world. Below are the Gods and Goddesses of our world and what their part in the world is: Earth Gashe (M) - King of Beasts Menesha (M) - Growth Theleba (F) - Fertility Gah-Ter (F) - Mother nature Fire Ayestelesh (M) - God of War Malteh (M) - Justice Resh-Sha (F) - Gluttony Khaan (F) - Lust Air Naeeshas (M) - Compassion Wishnac (F) - Creativity Millewc (M) - Father of Wisdom Garmethe (F) - Jealousy Water Celmeleh (M) - Mourning Reenah (M) - Curiosity Nereh (F) - Goddess Of Love Tayor (F) - Nurture The Void Mertenah (M/F?) - Sin In the world of Legend Makers the Gods and Goddesses touch the planet in a number of different way. It has been believed in some cases that the insane are touched by the gods themselves (God-touched), possessed in some manner. These souls are said to be naturally talented in a certain magic depending on what God their said to be possessed by. Yet this is all myth and rumour and nothing has been proven as of yet but a number of cases have risen over the years around these occurrences. While in other cases, those in possession of rare stones have said to be grated extraordinary gift. It has been recorded that the Master builder (the designer and craftsmen of Istria) wore a necklace baring a large white crystal at all times which he claimed was touched by Millewc, the father of Creativity and though his crystal he saw the god’s grand designs. If you wish for your character to either be possessed by a God or Goddesses or you wish to have your character own a enchanted crystal please PM a member of staff before hand with your request.
