[I apologize now for first, taking so long to get to this and second, being lazy and just plopping this down here BUT.
Have the Gerudo gods I made up :'3]
V’riqi: Goddess of the Sand. The “mother” goddess, but more in the way that she’s the most powerful and the “queen” of the other gods. She is the patron god of the Gerudo as a whole, but is especially revered by warriors as a warrior goddess herself. She gets the name Goddess of the Sand because she is said to have created the sandy landscape on which they dwell. The youngest of the pantheon, but most powerful. She is said to have defeated Karaaq for the right to rule the gods. She was also the one to create mortal Gerudos in hers and the other gods image. Serpents, especially cobras, are sacred to her. She is also the goddess of weaponry, wind, courage, and power.
Karaaq: God of the Sun. Formerly the “king” of the gods and the only “male” in the pantheon. It is his myth and unique position as the only “male” that made way for the one male born every century becomes king law. It is said that, due to the arrogance of the early male Gerudo and their violence (both physical and systemic) toward the Gerudo women that V’riqi punished Karaaq by ensuring that only one male would be born every century. Unfortunately, the mortals created the only law of making said male their king, for they believed him to be blessed by the sun god himself and a miracle (as time went on, at least, the mortals had the good sense to take steps to ensure said male was fit to rule them after some mishaps). His sacred animal is a horse. He is also the god of health and life, prophecy, the day and morning, fire, crafts, artistry, and cunning.
Ranisa: Goddess of the Moon. A more passive goddess than the previous two. She, for her known history, had little interest or involvement in the squabble over power/ruling the gods. However, as the patron goddess of death, the others still know she is not one to be trifled with. It is said that, upon creating life, she was the one who instilled mortality in them to separate the gods from mortals (maybe someday I’ll come up with a more detailed story for the WHY she did it), creating the cycle of life and death. She also serves as a guide for Gerudo to the spirit world. Her sacred animals are wolves (and probably wolfos because, though they’re monsters, they’re related). She is also the goddess of wisdom, water, stars, night and twilight, and law.
Vi and Qa’a: Goddesses of Chaos and Order. Depicted as twins, many times conjoined, and eldest of the pantheon. The original “queens” of the gods until their defeat and imprisonment by the others to keep their power in check. The more at odds they are with each other, the more tumultuous the outcome of their “outbursts.” Because they cannot be fully contained as the other gods hoped, the reverberations of their power can still be felt in the mortal realm, for better or for worse, depending on which twin “has the upper hand.” They do not have a sacred animal, but magic and monsters are said to be their creations.
