Gods in Hearts of Fire

This post explains God's that I have thought of so far, I will edit as I think of more.

Including their calendar and how the seasons work with time.

First God: Ezerk, creator of life

Ezerk is their main God. The one who crafted the trees and mixed the seas. She’s the one who painted the leaves patterns, sculpted the snowflakes designs, carefully crafted every animal, and everything else in life as we know it.

She was born from a tiny light, a light that shone in a newfound darkness. The light grew and grew until it exploded into Ezerk herself. A flowing symbol of light that no one has laid eyes upon, for she is so bright that you would not be able to see her.

Her light feeds life, blooming the flowers, and growing the trees. When it is time for a life to pass on to Heaven, called Junnic (June-iss), a piece of her light breaks off and carries that life to Junnic. When a life is born, a piece of light is brought back to her. Thus keeping herself alive.

However, when a life is pulled into hell, called Korro (core-o), that light can never be brought back during a birth. In times of great unrest like the Season Dragon War, Ezerk becomes sick and life on Alias doesn’t thrive as it usually does.

She is often depicted as the sun or sun-like. Some depict her as a woman with a long dress made of light, fewer some depict her as always pregnant with life.

Second God: Erdue (err-due), creator of time and balancer of seasons

Erdue is the daughter of Ezerk. The dragons were in a constant war of winter and summer, and were both growing tired of having no time to sleep. So Erdue gave them set amount of time to awake and sleep.

She created the six months, called Erisis (airy-siz, plural). Three for summer, three for winter. Two weeks between the shift from summer to winter is called the 'shift period.' A time where the lines between summer and winter are blurred as the fire dragon starts to drift to sleep and the winter dragon begins to awake.

She oversees the shift and keeps the Erisis and dragons in balance making sure they never cause destruction again.

This is basically what their calendars look like, they're all vertical like this. Each Eris (air-ees, singular) has 15 days.

Erdue is often depicted as a young girl and always by Ezerk's side. She is associated with the colors of summer and winter, those being orange and blue respectively.

Third God: Halrik (hall-reek), overseer and controller of Korro

In the darkness when Ezerk was born from a light, Halrik came from her shadow. Since then being attracted and tied to darkness he often hid himself away from Ezerk, who was too bright for his liking. Ezerk didn't like his distaste for the light and tried to show him how wonderful it was.

He was so taken aback by the light that he flew down into the darkest darkness he'd ever seen. He soon found his way into Korro, a place that was just to his liking.

He soon took control and has been overseeing it ever since. Whenever Ezerk's light follows someone down into Korro he steals it and hides it away, being bitter against Ezerk and not wanting the light to be near him.

He is often depicted as a shadow, often behind Ezerk hunched over in bitterness. Dark blues and blacks are associated with him.

The overseers, the first true God’s: Thanas and Thonar, keepers of balance and creators of all opposites

In a void of darkness two beings shifted into consciousness. They were born twins, Thanas and Thonar, they were complete opposites. The void was unbalanced and unstable, it needed something to balance out the darkness, in which Thanas was created to keep that balance. Though her light was too strong for the darkness, so Thonar was needed to balance out the darkness's side.

Thanas was overjoyed to be able to do what she pleased and would spend eternities perfecting her ‘projects.’ Thonar was forced to follow along and create his own things in order to not throw off the balance again.

Thanas would create life, and in turn Thonar would create death. And so the cycle continued and we got the polar opposites of the world.

Humans and beasts.

Heaven and hell. (AKA Junnic and Korro)

Ezerk and Halrik.

This is how the two smaller main Gods were created, Ezerk from Thanas’ light, and Halrik from Thonar’s darkness.

They are always depicted together, often in swirling patterns as they intertwine in knots, unable to escape the other. Forced to keep a balance forever.

Thanas is depicted with soft yellow colors, while Thonar is depicted with harsh black colors.

Many do not remember these two despite their importance, believing Ezerk created life when she is merely the one who feeds it and keeps everything alive.
