Deities

Noma the Almighty

Noma the Almighty stands as the supreme creator deity of the Nomaverse, born from the willing division of the original entity Nomura. As the embodiment of pure creation and order, Noma possesses the fundamental creative force that establishes cosmic laws and brings new realities into existence. His power represents half of the original cosmic totality that was Nomura, making him one of the two most powerful entities in all of creation.

Following the devastating war in Primordia that destroyed 99% of the divine population, Noma disappeared from the knowledge of the surviving gods. In truth, he retreated to the Great Abyss beneath the shattered remains of Primordia—a place other deities feared to enter, believing it to be true oblivion. This realm, known to mortals as Origin's End, serves as Noma's hidden workshop where he continues his creative work in solitude.

Unbeknownst to the rest of creation, Noma has been tirelessly working on his greatest project—the construction of the Eighth Dimension, a new realm that represents the next iteration of cosmic evolution. His self-imposed exile stems from his unwillingness to confront or merge with Bahumura, preferring to lose himself entirely in the act of creation rather than risk corruption by his destructive other half.

Obel'jon the Watcher

Obel'jon the Watcher stands as one of the most primordial cosmic forces in the Nomaverse, a god whose domain encompasses observation, knowledge, and cosmic balance. Created to monitor the unfolding of creation, Obel'jon established the League of Watchers—divine observers who record events throughout reality without direct intervention.

His power allows him to simultaneously perceive countless worlds and timelines, maintaining perfect awareness of cosmic developments while remaining hidden from mortal perception. As a primordial deity, Obel'jon designed various technological and divine entities to shape worlds according to cosmic plans, including the creation of the Builder race such as Dakon and Valmir.

Though his exact dwelling remains unknown, scholars believe he resides in a hidden realm connected to Primordia, from which he dispatches his Watchers throughout the cosmos. Those rare mortals who join the League receive fragments of his divine perception and longevity, though they must abide by strict non-interference protocols.

Historical records in the oldest sections of Elyndaar City reference Obel'jon as "The Eye That Never Closes," suggesting ancient Solarians were aware of his watchful presence even before formal understanding of cosmic deities developed.

Onu'rah the Wise

Onu'rah the Wise was the first female deity created by Noma and Bahumura during their initial period of harmonious collaboration. Her emergence marked a turning point in cosmic history, as she became the catalyst for the jealousy that would ultimately corrupt Bahumura and lead to the destruction of Primordia. While deeply in love with Noma, she remained unaware that Bahumura harbored similar feelings for her, setting the stage for the cosmic tragedy that followed.

During the devastating war in Primordia, Onu'rah suffered grievous wounds that nearly destroyed her divine essence entirely. As the first realm shattered, her damaged soul was cast into the surrounding void along with the scattered fragments of the destroyed realm. Rather than perishing, her divine nature merged with the Shadow energies of what became the Void Realm, transforming her into a crystalline entity of living memory and wisdom.

Though she survived this traumatic rebirth, Onu'rah exists at only a fraction of her original divine power. Her consciousness now manifests through the crystalline structures of Lodoros Isle, where she has developed a symbiotic relationship with the Voidwalkers who venerate her as their patron deity. Her temple serves as both sanctuary and extension of her being, allowing her to offer guidance and protection to those who seek wisdom within the Shadow-touched realm.

The Voidwalkers built their entire civilization around serving and sustaining Onu'rah, offering Shadow-infused gemstones that strengthen her crystalline form and expand her consciousness. In return, she provides access to ancient knowledge and memories from the time before Primordia's fall, making her one of the few remaining witnesses to the cosmos' original divine order.

Her influence has gradually expanded beyond the Void Realm as travelers establish contact with the Voidwalkers, creating small enclaves of Onu'rah worship in regions where Shadow magic practitioners seek her wisdom and guidance.

Vol'nash the Jailer

Vol'nash the Jailer stands as one of the surviving primordial deities created during the early collaborative period between Noma and Bahumura. His divine nature manifests as a towering figure of perpetual flame that never diminishes, representing the constructive application of destructive force—using entropy for justice rather than chaos.

As one of the few gods to survive the devastating war in Primordia that claimed 99% of the divine population, Vol'nash witnessed firsthand the corruption of Bahumura and the systematic destruction of the first realm. This traumatic experience shaped his current role as guardian of cosmic justice, ensuring that such catastrophic corruption never again threatens the stability of creation.

His divine domain encompasses the Infernal Chasm of the Afterplane, where he maintains eternal vigil over the most dangerous souls that cannot be permitted to reincarnate or escape. Vol'nash's power allows him to judge souls with perfect accuracy, perceiving every action taken across a being's existence and assigning appropriate consequences based on cosmic law rather than personal bias.

His most potent weapon, the Burning Blade, could sever connections between souls and bodies, enforcing permanent separation for those deemed truly irredeemable. The recent cosmic crisis escalated when Bahumura stole this weapon, critically wounding Vol'nash in the process, before the Dark One was ultimately defeated through the combined efforts of Krauser Killener, Scrios the Reaper, and other divine allies.

Since his recovery, Vol'nash has strengthened the boundaries of the Infernal Chasm, working closely with the Death Guard to prevent further escapes by dangerous entities. The Reformed Demons of the Death Guard revere Vol'nash as their patron deity, seeing in his balanced application of destructive power a model for their own redemption journey.

Dakon the Shaper

Dakon the Shaper, foremost among the Builders, directly crafted much of planet Solaris and guided the development of its most sophisticated lifeforms. His divine technological abilities allowed him to terraform the entire planet, establish its layered reality structure, and accelerate the evolution of its inhabitants.

Unlike most Builders who departed after completing their tasks, Dakon maintained a connection to Solaris, occasionally appearing to guide the planet's development or avert catastrophes. His most significant contributions include the creation of Andorum laboratory in the Dormuzahn Isles, the establishment of the seven cosmic layers that compose Solaris' unique dimensional structure, and the hyper-evolution of early species into the diverse races that now inhabit the world.

Dakon's recent sacrifice to destroy Shaogog in the World Below represents his final act of protection toward his created world, as he self-destructed in the Vault of the First One, releasing enough energy to obliterate the ancient threat. Though his consciousness has dissipated, Solarian scientists theorize that fragments of his essence may have merged with the planet's energy systems, potentially allowing some form of his awareness to persist within the world itself.

Engineers and Scientists in Elyndaar City honor Dakon as the patron of technological innovation, studying his surviving creations to advance their understanding of the universe.

Valmir the Guardian

Valmir the Guardian stands as one of the mightiest Builders ever created, forged by Obel'jon to execute the most challenging cosmic tasks. His immense physical form towers over most structures, composed of nearly indestructible materials that blend technology with divine essence.

Valmir's power encompasses tremendous physical strength, matter manipulation, and the ability to travel between dimensions with ease. Throughout cosmic history, he served as Obel'jon's primary agent for major interventions, including establishing planetary defenses and creating dimensional boundaries.

His most trying ordeal came when Bahumura possessed his form, creating the destructive entity known as the Dark Avatar that ravaged multiple regions of Solaris. During this possession, Valmir remained conscious but imprisoned within his own body, forced to witness the devastation wrought through his form.

After being freed from Bahumura's control through the combined efforts of the Elyndrians and several deities, Valmir began the slow process of recovering from the spiritual trauma of possession. Now restored to his true self, he maintains a watchful presence over Solaris from orbit, particularly vigilant against any signs of Bahumura's influence returning to the material plane.

The few mortals who have directly encountered Valmir describe overwhelming awe in his presence, as his divine nature radiates a palpable sense of cosmic purpose and primordial power.

Sunder the Warden

Sunder the Warden manifests as a massive feline Beast God who serves as the primary Planetary Guardian of the entire Solarian System. His divine nature allows him to alter his size at will, from that of a large lion to planetary scale in his Celestial form, with corresponding increases in his strength and cosmic awareness. Ancient texts speak of Sunder's origins in the Sixth Dimension on the peaceful world of Morpheon Prime, suggesting his protective instincts may stem from memories of his tranquil homeworld and the dimensional transition that brought him to this reality.

Sunder's power encompasses weather manipulation, gravitational control, and the ability to travel between worlds in the Solarian system within moments. After being imprisoned within the parasitic entity Nezal on Lunaris, Sunder was freed by the Elyndrians, creating a lasting alliance between the Beast God and these mortal champions. His recent appearance on distant Gorgonia during the Dark Avatar crisis demonstrated that his protective reach extends far beyond the Solarian system when cosmic threats arise.

Since his liberation, he divides his time between patrolling the cosmic boundaries of the Solarian system and maintaining watchful guardianship over Lunaris, ensuring Nezal remains contained within the Crimson Wilds. Beastkin throughout Solaris revere Sunder as their primary deity, maintaining shrines in Thunderwing Stronghold and Explorer's Landing on Lunaris where they leave offerings of precious metals and crystals that the Beast God uses to strengthen his cosmic barriers.

His compassionate nature makes him particularly responsive to sincere prayers for protection, occasionally manifesting to defend the innocent when truly catastrophic threats emerge.

The Grand Phoenix

The Grand Phoenix embodies the divine principles of rebirth, renewal, and purifying flame within the Solarian pantheon. This immense avian deity, standing several stories tall, radiates flames that can either heal or destroy depending on the Phoenix's intent.

Its divine abilities include the power to resurrect the recently deceased, purify corruption with sacred fire, and create new life through its scattered embers. The most notable example of this creation power manifested in the birth of the Ashrisen race, who emerged from the Phoenix's burning feathers cast across specific regions of Solaris.

When summoned through ancient rituals, the Grand Phoenix causes the sky to darken as its divine radiance overwhelms natural light, creating a spectacle visible for hundreds of miles. The Phoenix maintains no permanent dwelling on Solaris, instead existing partially in a flame dimension that intersects with the material world at sites of great magical significance.

Temples dedicated to the Phoenix dot the landscape of Elyndaar City and Harbor City, where worshippers seek its blessing for new beginnings and healing seemingly terminal conditions. The Ashrisen people hold special festivals during celestial alignments believed to strengthen their connection to their divine progenitor, during which their natural flame abilities temporarily intensify.

Dragonus

Dragonus represents the last true dragon of ancient Solaris, a being so powerful that its existence bridges the gap between mortal creature and divine entity. Unlike the Dragonkin who evolved into more humanoid forms, Dragonus retained the primeval draconic nature in its purest expression.

His serpentine body stretches hundreds of feet, covered in emerald scales that shimmer with internal magical energy and possess natural resistance to most forms of magic and physical damage. Currently slumbering deep beneath Thunderwing Stronghold in a vast cavern system accessible only through hidden passages known to select Dragonkin elders, Dragonus represents a potent but dormant power.

His divine abilities include mastery over all elemental forces, telepathic communication across vast distances, and the capacity to reshape terrain through will alone. The Dragonkin of Thunderwing Stronghold maintain a sacred vigil over his resting place, believing that Dragonus will awaken only when Solaris faces an extinction-level threat that other protectors cannot overcome.

Historical records suggest that Dragonus last emerged during the cataclysmic events that nearly exterminated dragonkind, using the last of his waking energy to ensure that some of his descendants would survive through magical transformation. Lord Kelthuron personally oversees the rituals that monitor Dragonus's slumber, ensuring that proper preparations are maintained should the ancient dragon god ever need to be awakened.

Bahumura the Dark One

Bahumura the Dark One represents the destructive half of the original cosmic entity Nomura, born from the willing division that created both him and Noma. Initially working in harmony with his creative counterpart, Bahumura's nature became irrevocably corrupted when his love for Onu'rah was unrequited, while she fell in love with Noma instead. This cosmic jealousy festered over eons until it completely consumed his original purpose, transforming him into an agent of pure destruction and entropy.

The corruption of Bahumura led directly to the systematic destruction of Primordia, as he turned god against god in a devastating war that claimed 99% of the divine population. His actions shattered the first realm and scattered its fragments into the void, creating the chaotic landscape now known as the Void Realm.

Following the war, the surviving gods severed Bahumura from his physical form as punishment, leaving him as a formless essence—a literal haze of malevolent energy marked by glowing yellow eyes. Even in this diminished state, he retains tremendous power and an insidious ability to corrupt other beings through proximity or influence.

Unable to destroy the physical form of such a powerful entity, the gods chose instead to hide it. The body eventually came to rest within the Seventh Dimension near the Gorgonia system, where the Fire Elementals detected its dark presence and made the ultimate sacrifice. They encased Bahumura's physical form within an artificial star of their own bodies—the star known as Tartarus—nearly wiping out their entire species to prevent the Dark One from reclaiming his full power.

Bahumura's ultimate goal remains the reunification with his physical form and the eventual merger with Noma under his control, which would grant him dominion over both creation and destruction. This cosmic threat drives many of the conflicts throughout the Nomaverse, as his essence continues to seek ways to corrupt heroes, possess powerful beings, and manipulate events toward his eventual restoration.

Nezal

Nezal originated in the Fourth Dimension as a benevolent cosmic force designed to facilitate energy transfer between dimensional barriers. However, prolonged exposure to the corruption radiating from Primordia's destruction gradually perverted its fundamental nature, transforming it into an insatiable planetary predator that consumes and corrupts entire worlds. The entity's vast form now spans much of Lunaris, with the Crimson Wilds representing a surface manifestation of its alien biology—the red plant life being cellular extensions of Nezal rather than independent organisms.

Its divine-level abilities include consuming life essence on a planetary scale, corrupting native species into servitor organisms, and extending consciousness across countless smaller bodies simultaneously through a hive mind structure. The entity's confrontation with Sunder near Solaris resulted in its imprisonment on Lunaris when the Beast God sacrificed his freedom to contain the threat, crashing both beings onto the moon's surface.

After the Elyndrians freed Sunder from within Nezal's core, they established Explorer's Landing on Lunaris specifically to monitor the parasite's activity and prevent its escape. While Nezal remains trapped on Lunaris, its consciousness occasionally reaches toward Solaris through psychically sensitive individuals, particularly those who spend extended time in the Crimson Wilds.

The Pathfinders maintain constant vigilance against these influence attempts, developing specialized magical countermeasures to shield explorers from Nezal's corrupting touch. Scientific research at the Crimson Analysis Station suggests that complete destruction of Nezal may be impossible without destroying Lunaris itself, making containment the only viable long-term strategy.

Shaogog

Shaogog, self-proclaimed as The First One, was originally a consciousness from the Fifth Dimension that became trapped on Solaris during the planet's earliest formation. Unlike the creator deities who chose to interact with physical reality, Shaogog's dimensional displacement forced it to adapt to the material plane, gradually developing a crystalline neural network throughout the World Below as it learned to manipulate matter through dimensional energy bleeding from its origin realm.

Its physical form defied conventional biology, appearing as a vast network of crystalline neural structures that extended throughout much of the World Below, with multiple humanoid bodies serving as mere extensions of its true consciousness. Shaogog possessed divine-level abilities including perfect memory of all it experienced, control over the proto-Grovekin Protokin through a hive mind connection, and matter manipulation that allowed it to reshape its environment at will.

The entity's insatiable drive to accumulate knowledge led it to develop technologies for extracting information directly from the minds of other beings, regardless of the harm caused. The Elyndrians' discovery of the World Below brought them into direct conflict with Shaogog when they realized its intention to eventually extend control to the surface world.

This confrontation culminated in the heroic sacrifice of Dakon, who destroyed both himself and Shaogog in a cataclysmic explosion within the Vault of the First One. While believed destroyed, some Scientists in Elyndaar City theorize that fragments of Shaogog's consciousness might persist in isolated neural clusters throughout the World Below, potentially allowing for its gradual regeneration over centuries. Exploration teams regularly scan for unusual activity patterns in Eldrenhollow and other underground locations to ensure the ancient threat remains truly neutralized.
