The Supreme Gods are among the most revered deities in Yurgenschmidt.
The Gods and Subordinate Gods are the pantheon of deities worshipped in Yurgenschmidt, invoked in blessings and magic circles, and who are believed to bestow divine grace during religious ceremonies at the temple.
The gods range in importance from the two Supreme Gods of darkness and light, the Eternal Five who preside over elements and seasons, and the subordinate gods who govern different crafts, ideas, and phenomena.
See the Mythology Tab for stories of the gods.
Supreme Gods
The Supreme Gods are the God of Darkness and the Goddess of Light, a married couple that rules over the heavens together, and the progenitors of all other gods. Unlike most gods and goddesses, which have both a name and a title, the Supreme Gods are referred to by title alone.
When used together, the elements of Darkness and Light are considered highly potent. They are used in magical transfer circles, such as those used to travel to and from the Royal Academy, as well as the magic tools Schwartz and Weiss. Additionally, both gods are invoked together during the summer Starbind Ceremony as the patrons of marriage and couples.
