List of Gods/Goddesses
Apollomiestro; Hare god- Born from Kalulu and Sasanka, Apollo is the god of performance and talent. Created from the mix of Beauty and Tricks, he is paid homage by all talented hares of the world; Be they dancer, singer, music-player, acrobat, woodworker, blacksmith, or any other performance or talent not listed. It is said he is in love with Wenet, daughter of Hittavainen and Wepuat and that out of this love he graces every child she blesses with some sort of talent.
Arcas; bear god-- Arcas is the god of strength and protection (in war times). He often appears as a larger than average grizzly bear with steel claws plated in gold. He gave the humans their metal after the god Hittavainen begged him for a way for his people to defend themselves against the monsters born from the cursed wombs of his many divine wives. Arcas shows favor to all.
Asena; wolf goddess-- Goddess of mothers, Asena is a shape shifting wolf. Her most common form is that of a wolf with a coat whiter than snow.

Callisto; bear goddess-- With a shining pelt made from the senescence of stars, Callisto is the most beautiful of the goddesses. Unfortunately for the more lustful gods she has eyes only for Arcas. Taking on no specific breed of bear to appear as, she rules the stars as the constellation ‘Ursa Major’.
Fenrir; wolf god-- Taller than even Hittavainen, Fenrir appears as a dark reddish brown wolf. His body appears to be transparent, as though made of mist. He is the god of death and possesses many servants, one of each animal, that go about delivering disease and collecting souls that are ready to pass on.
Freki; wolf god-- Freki is the youngest of Fenrir’s sons. His coat is blacker than night nd he chases after his older brother Hati in hopes that he might be the moon whenever Hati catches Sasanka. However, because his pelt is so dark, he only ends up making an eclipse until Sasanka is reborn again.
Hati; wolf god-- One of the twins of Fenrir‘s brood. He chases the moon goddess Sasanka.
Hittavainen; human god-- The chief god of humans he was created by the lagomorph gods as a way of teaching their children a lesson. He did this by shooting Michabor, the first hare/rabbit, through the ear, thereby weakening the abilities of all mortal lagomorphs, after Wepuat begged him not to kill the mortal lagomorphs. After this he and Wepuat wed and later had one daughter, Wenet, whom he killed in a fit of rage after she (Wenet) created the humans. He also locked Wepuat away with Fenrir. While his wife was in captivity he bedded many other goddesses. When Wepuat escaped she not only left him but cursed all children fathered by him and born of another woman to be monsters. Hittavainen is now all but the complete master of all the gods and his people, the humans, have followed his example by laying claim to all the land in Torali as well as the creatures that inhabit it.

Manguni; owl god-- Manguni rules the night as a great-horned owl. He is close friends with Sasanka, hare though she may be, and wishes that he might save her from Hati. However, he wishes not to offend his other friend, Hittavainen, by doing so.
