Abolitia; God of the Brethren
Abolitia appears as a great, beautiful white dame. Her emerald eyes pulse and can easily enchant anyone she comes across. This goddess is known for her soft, melodic voice, and often speaks in confusing riddles. Abolitia could pass unsuspected as a common member of the Brethren if it were not for her aura of power and ultimate charm.

Jostrius; God of Life
Jostrius appears in spring as a brilliant, prideful stag. Years of aging have caused moss to lather his back and prompted various small flowers and plants to blossom from the tuft around his hooves, nape, and tail. Atop his head sprout magnificent, golden antlers, from which hang all sorts of trinkets, from bits of metal to flowers to vines. He speaks with a wise, all-knowing tone and gives the sense of comfort and joy to all that encounter him. When autumn arrives with winter in tow, however, Jostrius's pelt turns almost gray, unsaturated, his flowers dilute in color, and he appears older, though it never tampers with his youthful spirit.

Reikken; God of Death
Many that see Reikken are quick to fear him, while others admire his beauty. How can this be? Well, those who view death as negative and those who do not. Those with the positive belief see a chic, elegant raven with a massive wingspan, his feathers mostly ebony save a few silver. He shines in sunlight and becomes a vague shadow in night. Those who believe Death is negative, however, see a skeletal raven with bits of aged, yellowed bone protruding from the wings. The top of his skull is visible, as well. Several feathers are missing from this version of Reikken. Either way, Reikken's vocals are rough and aged, as if his vocal chords have been ravaged by time and use.

Leighdra; God of Bravery
Leighdra appears as a healthy, capable mountain lion. Those who stare into her bright, intimidating eyes find themselves feeling bolder and more confident by the minute. When Leighdra speaks, it is with a low, almost-growling tone. Do not mistake this for anger.

Ophellius; God of Fortune
Those who encounter Ophellius may be surprised to discover that he appears as an ordinary snake. One may never know if Ophellius is present or not, for he is a sly, cunning, and crafty being. The only way to identify the god is to look deep within his eyes. Some say they can see their own success within them.

Admartus; God of Victory
Admartus is perhaps the most intimidating of the Deities when regarding physical appearance. He appears as a daunting, bulky brown bear, constantly scarred and bloodied. Admartus often lumbers around, huffing and puffing like the great beast he is. He does not so much speak as he does roar, a deafening blow to all ears present.

Fierdra; God of Wisdom
Fierdra appears as an elegant, pale owl, as light as a feather and as quiet as a mouse. Her crystalline yellow eyes are rumored to be able to see into the soul. She is the most soft-spoken of the Deities and will often flutter from branch to branch while communing. When she speaks, it is heard similar to a feminine churr.
Sigmastus; God of Power
Sigmastus is like no other Deity. He appears as no creature that roams the earth, but a monstrous beast. Sigmastus is bipedal, with lengthy, unsettling slender limbs. He adornes strange armor unknown and unfamiliar to the Brethren, and some ancient antlered creature's skull as a mask. Bones and horrid-looking vegetation protrude from Sigmastus on all surfaces. His very presence brings unease to most, but only a select few can find themselves comfortable around him. Perhaps those few are not in their right mind. (Referenced from Leshen of the Witcher.
