This is only a quick list of the gods and their patronage. More info on them can be found on the Terra Fera Info site!
(For some I went a little more into their background...)
Utura/Nature: Mother of creation, she is one of the first two beings to exist, and it is her essence that allows for places like Terra Fera to have life. It is unsure if her essence is also in Utur-Vyta.
Goddess of nature and balance.
Time: The true king of the gods, he is like a painter as Utura is the sculptor of creation. All mortal beings can thank him for their basic physical appearances.
God of time, immortality, and shape shifters.
Hakon/Fate: Along with Time, king among the gods and master of fate. All except Man are under his domain. His mother is Utura.
God of kings/rulers and fate.
Havardr/Night: Protector of the mortal realm, he guides those who pass through his realm, keeping them from the path of true darkness. Said to be the son of Moriet, the light giving moon. His father is Time.
God of the night.
Helka/Day: Sister of Havardr, she despises all things within her brother's domain, requiring those who follow her to forsake the night.
Goddess of day and light.
Nive/Life: Younger sister of Hakon, she is the guide for spirits to the mortal realm.
Goddess of child birth and new mothers.
Dara/Death: Nive's twin brother, he is her opposite. He guides spirits from the mortal realm into the realm of the dead at the moment of their death.
God of death, dying, and burials.
Ronan/War: Son of Hakon and the Dark Goddess, he is fond of violence and bloodshed, but recognizes there is need for balance. It is said that he taught mortals how to heal their wounded and treat their sick.
While he is the god of war, he is also the god of healers.
(Bears call him "Ronin", as the name "Ronan" was a little mistranslated to them XD)
Runa/Destruction: Ronan's twin sister, after seeing the folly of listening to her mother, she became entirely loyal to her father Hakon and his wishes. Most have gone to her purely to have her beseech their cause to her father on their behalf.
Goddess of destruction, but in means of balance. Occasionally, like many of her children, considered a goddess of vengeance.
Miana/Water: Daughter of Nive, Miana is the goddess of water. Seeing as her place is in the mortal realm, she might actually listen to those who pray to her.
Tora/Wind: Twin sister of Miana, she is said to always be by Miana's side.
Goddess of the wind.
Vitus: Son of Miana, he is the god of the Ocean.
Thor/Lytos: Son of Tora, or at least typically said to be her son, he is the god of storms, lightning, and thunder. He is also a warrior god.
Roxanna/Mianiet: Roxanna is the daughter of Vitus and his mortal wife. When her mother died Roxanna was very young, and so her father brought her to the realm of the gods to raise her among his kin.
She is the goddess of love and purity, also of married couples.
Mariet/Iet: Goddess of rebels, outcasts, and those rejected by their own kin. Daughter of Time and a Snow Ketio noble. Was once part of the Forsaken's rebellion against the gods before the Dark War.
Kandariet/Kadariet/Kadara/Kandara: Kadara was once a warrior princess of her clan, daughter of a queen and the "Rogue King" Sisera(former husband of Mariet). Was born in the early years after the Dark War, but her clan soon found themselves under attack from remnants of the Forsaken, under Agnar's command. He wanted to finally kill off his old rival, Sisera, for they had both loved Mariet, but Mariet only loved Sisera. After Agnar killed Kadara's father, her brother, Victor, in anger, foolhardily met the Fallen God in combat, and attempted to take his revenge for his father. In this battle, Victor learned the truth about his own parentage, however, and that he was not Sisera's son, but the god Ronan's, and that is why Agnar had also come. Perhaps as one last act of retaliation against Hakon, for old times sake, Agnar told Victor to watch his sister and keep her safe, for Dara would soon come for her, even though she was still young.
When Dara came for Kadara, she had been warned ahead of time of this, and so she first mocked him, saying he must have been mistaken, and then challenging him to a fight. If she could win the argument, Dara would leave without another word, and not come back until she called on him, while if Dara won, she would leave with him peacefully. She famously fought Dara, but of course lost the fight. However, she had won the bet, as she had argued that she "could fight him", not that she could defeat him, for that was impossible.
She eventually called on Dara several times, winning the bet each time, till the last, when over a hundred years had passed, and she finally went with him. She was lioness who had won her freedom from Death, only to fall in love with him.
She the goddess of warriors, particularly idolized by strategists for her cunning thinking, but also women who seek to be warriors.
Albus: Son of Dara and Kadara, he was born before his mother ascended to godhood, and was cursed by Hakon as punishment to his parents for defying him. Later on, he was reincarnated as a Snow Ketio prince, the heir to the king's throne, after he begged Hakon to give him another chance, and in return, he would be a prophet for the god of fate. The king, however, like many Snow Ketio, hated Hakon, and when his son began to speak praise of the god, the king knew he could never put this son on the throne, but Albus(historically called Redhearth during this reincarnation) was his only son. When Redhearth married a commoner, his father disowned him, and later exiled Redhearth's mate after she had given birth to their cubs. Redhearth's son, Red Dawn, became the king's new heir, and in ways grew to hate his own father.
Albus was reincarnated several times, and each time, he brought with him the cold wind and snow of the mountains, causing Winter to form.
He is now considered the god of Winter.
Marcus: Younger son of Dara and Kadara, he is the god of righteous war.
Kiaus: Youngest son of Dara and Kadara, he is the god of law and leadership. Was often Etahoro's traveling companion when they walked among the mortal realm, along with Marcus.
Amara: Daughter of Dara and Kadara, like her mother, is a warrior goddess. She is patroness to a sect of Utura's Order of all women/lionesses/she-wolves who were often wives, sisters, daughters, or mothers of members of the Order, and in wanting to serve in the Order themselves, they acted as more or less a guild of assassins and spies for the Order. These women would wear a symbol of Amara, instead of Utura, and called themselves "Daughters of Death."
Fallen Gods
The "Fallen Gods" were the children of Ronan and his sister Runa. Hakon cursed these children, not wanting any association with them, and cut their tie to the realm of the gods. After the Dark War, they were officially given divine status, despite being stuck in the mortal realm. Of any of the gods, they are most likely to listen, even now after the others have turned away from mortals.
Agnar/Wrath: Agnar is the first born of Ronan, and is the leader of the Fallen Gods. He is said to be rather merciful and caring to his followers, intervening personally on their behalves when troubles strike.
God of wrath, anger, and guardians.
Temptress: Oldest of the two sisters, she is the goddess of vanity, love(really lust), and beauty, and was declared such even before the Dark War. She is also a vengeance goddess.
Jealousy: The less than beautiful sister, she is the goddess of scorned women...
Hunger: God of the harvest, as well as famine and pestilence. Said to guard his followers from the latter two.
Mischief: The ulimate trisker
Former Gods
Etahoro: Once god of the Unknown and Magic, he gave up his divinity to save the lives of the last Ketertaz cubs, making them and himself the first Ketep. Still has his immortality.
