PANTHEON
Nova's traditional pantheon of Sages were once widely worshiped as the predominant faith structure in Nova. Since the advent of Alchemy, several factions have arisen that approach the pantheon in various manners.
Mylee, Sage of Creation and Life
In the beginning, when there were only the three primordial entities that later matured into the pantheon, Mylee was the body from which the forest was formed. Technically, although He is the father of the universe, he is no more powerful than his peers. His humanoid form is extremely handsome, with fair skin, waist-length white hair, and steel grey eyes. he is very tall and muscular, and tends to have a stern expression. He is almost always seen in a lavender or violet uniform, with the Book of Life at his side.
In mythology, there are many stories about his ongoing arguments with Zepon, his brother.
Zepon, Sage of Evil, Destruction, and Death
Zepon is the guide that represents all evil in the world; his existence is crucial to the balance of the universe, which has been maintained since its birth. He has a single horn in his humanoid form, which he sheds every year. He is unusually beautiful; charcoal-skinned and voluptuous. His hair is wild, shoulder-length, silver transitioning to crimson. His eyes are crimson outlined in silver.
Ai, Sage of Love and Pleasure
Ai was worshiped mostly by men-before going into bars or events, Nova's youthful men say a short prayer to her in hopes of getting the most pleasure. Out of the entire pantheon, Ai is the most shockingly beautiful. Her skin, in human form, is whiter than milk, her hair is a long, ivory river, and her eyes are plaintive disks of silver. She is tall and curved like an hourglass. Her face is beyond any mortal man's desire and is always blissful.
In mythology, there are many stories about her ongoing love triangle with Mylee and Zepon, her lovers.
Saden, Sage of Knowledge
There is a shrine to Saden in almost every public library in the whole of Nova. Schoolchildren often say a prayer to him before important exams. In his humanoid form he is quite beautiful with tan skin, short, rippling black hair, and eyes of polished oak. He is of average height and hearty build, and has recently taken to looking very sad. He wears opulent robes dyed crimson.
Caster, Sage of Chaos and Manna
Of all the pantheon, Caster is the least known, yet her beauty is never forgotten. Her skin is mocha, her hair long and lavender, and her eyes amethyst. She is tall, with a slim and slightly muscular build. Her face is emotionless and she wears a simple, long lavender dress. Caster is always seen near the White Oak.
She was exiled from the pantheon many years ago, shortly after the first magic users appeared on Nova. She now wanders the mortal realm, hiding from the eyes of men, using her powerful magic to conceal her presence. To see her is now considered an extremely bad omen, and talk of her in public is considered dangerous.
