Gaelic Ux Voshoz
Brought into the fold around the reign of King Henry and directly causing the Gaelic-Galran war, Gaelic Ux Voshoz tolerates Gaelic paganism far more than the core religion and adopts several holidays and customs. The Emerald throne is backed by the Gaelic church and the church crowns and officiates the monarchy.
Gaelic Paganism (Seandia)
The oldest religion amongst the Gaelic people, Seandiaism celebrates the eight gods and various spirits of the Gaelic people.
Gods/Goddesses
Athair Níos Sine
The central God of Seandiaism, the antlered god Athair is married to the goddess Mathair Orga and together created humanity, the earth and all living things. Athair serves as the primary deity of the gods and governs nature and wisdom.
Mathair Orga
Mother of humanity, Mathair is a kind, green dressed, elf like woman who is often looked at as the mother of all Gaelics. She embodies love, fertility, and kindness.
Dia an bháis
Dia, the goddess of war and death, is the sister of Mathair and the Sheppard of the dead. She escorts the souls of the passed to either paradise or hell. She is also the deity of war riding a black enflamed chariot pulled by her two warhorses.
An Mara
God of the sea, An Mara is a giant who safely guides Gaelic sailors across the vast ocean and provides them the bounty of fish and the promise of wealth. He also has a harsh temper that brings horrid storms and despises the wicked and cruel often associated punishing them with cyclones that send them straight to hell.
Tiarna Sléibhe
God of the Mountains and of the forge, Tiarna is defined as a hunchbacked humanoid that is shy and prefers to only speak to men and women who labor, he blesses them with wealth and skill but ultimately only if they properly learn their craft.
Spéir
Goddess of the sky and of the hunt, Speir rides with her entourage in the sky in what is known as the eternal hunt. She blesses hunters, warriors, and riders but punishes those who bring harm to women and children. Speir is considered the youngest of the Old Gods and the most idealistic in wanting to shape man.
Foraoise
Goddess of the forest and patron of the holiday, Foraoise is depicted as a young woman wearing head to toe robes covering her entire body. She is the daughter of Mathair and Athair, her core tenements are the preservation of the natural order and celebration of holidays with loved ones.
Ama
Trickster God of time and the chief deity of coin. Ama is an unspecified humanoid that tests men's souls for greed and was associated with punishing them for such. Ama is generally one of if not the only god considered malicious in intent by the Gaelic religion.
