Raresi's Pantheon

[Raresi]

 

Elme, Goddess of Bearyenas

Elme was born as royalty under one of my tribes. The tribe had tamed a friendly bearyena, and she became good friends with the cub. One day, the bearyena dissapeared into the grasses, and elme followed it. Her tribe assumed she had died, and went on with life. She and the bearyena fell in love, and elme fell pregnant. 

Once she returned to her tribe, they were shocked, and shunned her. She had lost her chance at the crown, and it was given to the king and queens new adopted daughter instead.

Elme and her cubs were treated badly, even banished to the other side of the river. When she went back to have one last baby with her mate, her tribe killed him in front of her. 

Elmes tribe was later killed by a plauge ( not true in game, just cool for storytelling ) and she and her sons all died. After she died, she woke up on the then empty pantheon whale, shocked and scared. She saw how her tribe died out, and her parents' souls, plus the souls of the other starting nichelings left their bodies to be reincarnated.

When they would reincarnate, they would forget everything that happend. Angry for her children, her bearyena mate, her siblings and the children of the other starting nichelings, elme took on the title as Bearyena Godess, stricking fear into the hearts of any who treat their hybrids badly.

Every bearyena that any tribe encounters, is said to be controlled by her. If a tribe breeds a nichelings with all the bearyena traits, she will bless some of their descendants to live in a world without any of her subjects. (( Bearyena spawners turned off )

But a tribe that treats their hybrids bad? Lets just say they wont live to tell the tale of the godess' wrath.

Lupri, God of flight

Lupri is my god of flight. Of course, there had been flying nichelings before. But this nicheling had both a bat wing, and a bird wing. He is said to be the one who blesses nichelings with their wings. 

Unlike any other gods, Lupri has been selfish with his powers of immortality, and has made both his mate and stepdaughter immortal. He is said to have a soft spot for derp snouts, and does not deny this.

Once he ascended to the pantheon, Elme at first was shocked to see another nicheling, although later on, she became very annoyed with his constant optimism and jokes. He can sense the weather, and loves cracking and sharing nuts.

He was a wanderer, and joined one of my tribes, only to die of elmes wrath inmediatly after. ( the tribe had done something to anger her ) He was able to save his stepdaughter and mate.

(( He is seen in the gif with his mate kirku, and stepdaughter sirasi ))

 

Reelme, The goddess of family and albinism

Reelme might as well be the oldest goddess in my lore. She ascended before Elme and Lupri, but kept a distance from them at first, Letting elme let out her anger before talking to her.

Reelme never actually lived a long life in a tribe, instead reincarnating again and again. Because of her, most albino nichelings take on the role of caring for the younger nichelings, and defending the nursery.

With her bearyena claw and megaloceros horns, she is a force to be reckoned with. Nevertheless, she is a kind nicheling whod much rather talk her way out of a confrontation than fight.

Reelme is mated to my god of rains and melanism, Norodon.

If a tribe treats their albino nichelings badly, she herself will not smite them, but elme on the other hand... Who knows what she will do to defend her friend and motherfigure.

(( i know she looks a lot more pink in here, but thats just how i draw my albinos ))

 

Privan, God of beauty

Privan's story is one that is shrouded in mystery. Nobody knows where he came from, why he became a god, or even what he really does. All that is know is that his name started spreading around as a rumour, that there was a nicheling so beautiful that the universe couldnt handle it, and that his parents and siblings had been killed because of it. 

Privans appearance depends on who you ask, and in the form that he most often takes, some would even say he is kind of plain. He is hard to understand, because he is a very old nicheling, although he takes the appearance of a nicheling in its young adult stage. 

(( The true story is that i found him in my files, thought he looked pretty, and made him a god ))

 

Raresi, Godess of Memories and Stories

Raresi is a relatively young godess. She is a minor godess, and is known for ''inventing'' stories', even though she lived long after the first story was told. Most nichelings interpert her as a modern version of an anchient primordial spirit, a vessel for knowledge, and a creature to be feared, after all, stories are the only way  for you to live on beyond your death, the only way to have your name be know to future generations. 

Rotano, The god of misfortune

Most nichelings in this universe hadnt been unlucky. The gods were ( mostly ) kind, and most nichelings who suffered from illness were either healed, or taken care of.

But then He appeared. A nicheling who brought misfortune wherever he went, but seemed to be too stupid to realise it. Rotano is the god of mistfortune, although seeing how he acts, you wouldnt suspect it. When he became a god, his appearance changed, but he didnt seem to notice. hes mostly harmless, and isnt evil, but just very... VERY.. unlucky.

Norodon, The blind god of Rain and Melanism

Norodon is the blind god of melanism and rains, and was the first to create the idea of rain and melanism being linked. He is a caring and sweet nicheling, and despite them being kind of opposites, gets along really well with Reelme, even taking her as a mate. Although he had a mortal mate in life, It is rumoured, that despite having no traits related to Reelme at all, that his mortal mate was an incarnation of her.

Norodon is probably an old god, similarly in age to reelme, but it is likely he just didnt incarnate or show himself for a long time.

After all, the parents of his mortal mate had angered Reelme greatly, and there are rumours flying around that she sneakily incarnated to keep an eye on them, but met Norodon, fell in love, and accidently let her plan go awry.

Although he has double nimble fingers when he is in his true form, her sometimes incarnates with double no paws. Melanistic nichelings with double nimble fingers are said to be blessed by him, just as Albinistic nichelings with antlers are said to be blessed by Reelme.

Kirprikir and Roduk, Gods of Fertility and Twins

Kirprikir and Roduk were two nichelings from the same tribe, although unrelated. One became the god of twins, and the other the god of fertility. However, who was the god of who was quickly forgotten, and both nichelings took on the same duty.
