Of gods and demons

The people of Tirakan gain support and confidence in their belief in Gods. Nevertheless, not only the Gods and their dark siblings, the Traitors, but also Demons and Titans emerged in the first age. The latter populate the worlds of heaven and hell and are present in the faith of people in daily life. People pray to their god-like beings and visit the temples of villages and towns.

Once upon a time, eleven siblings awoke, populating the world in a time long before humans, Elves and Dwarves. They were daughters and sons of unknown parents, and they existed in unity until a great betrayal. Seven Traitors among them split off, leaving four gods on the light side.

Seven siblings split from the gods in the first age and turned against them and the creatures that existed in the world. Resentment and dislike led them down a dark path, and they henceforth followed their own dark interests.

The wayfarers

The gods had not yet become certain of themselves when four of those primeval beings appeared in the world. Nobody was able to say where they came from. Only they themselves will be able to tell the reason of their existence. They were noticed by the gods quite late, when they had been observing the world for some time.

The Titans

After Ranorh created thirteen cruel demons that populated the world, the gods created the Titans to protect the world of Tirakan from them. The Titans are tangible to the people and beings of Tirakan, they walk the world. They have often been observed at action.

Archdemons

Created in the Second Age by Ranorh, the demons have claimed the world for their own. These titanic beings populate the underworld and are powerful magical beings in their own right.

The Dragons
The Dragons

Born as the children of the Wayfarers, the dragons are arguably Tirakan's most powerful independent beings. The Wayfarers came into the world at a time when the Gods were not even aware of their origin, and observed events without intervening in the battles of the past. At the end of the first age, the Wayfarers begat seven children to watch over the battles of the Titans and the Demons. These children were henceforth called dragons. According to the legends, four of these seven children still live on Tirakan today, although only a few unconfirmed reports tell of them.

Independent entities

Independent entities of a divine nature are numerous on Tirakan. Tribes such as the Quitaron or Xordai worship their own deities, alien to the realms; entities such as Robärthrunius have godlike status themselves, albeit without followers.
