The Madjai
The Local Gods worshipped in Zarthura have been traditionally grouped into one of two categories: either The Madjai, who are worshipped throughout the continent, or the local and common gods, who are only actively worshipped in a certain region (or sometimes just a single town).
The six Madjai are:
| Name | Epithet | Themes | Essence | Element | Key Stat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Azaren | The Architect | Spellcraft & Design | Varuna | Water | INT |
| Elincia | The Unbound | Freedom & Adventure | Bhumi | Earth | DEX |
| Orianna | The Enlightened | Bravery & Leadership | Radiant | Light | CHA |
| Haitham | The Blade from Above | Strength & Victory | Pavana | Air | STR |
| Cassiel | The Silken Shadow | Beauty, Indulgence & Sensuality | Void | Dark | WIS |
| Zoran | The Relentless | Life & Conviction | Agni | Fire | CON |
Additionally, Zarthurians believe that Mythos is the source of all things in Sharum Mal'Kari. Based on the teachings of The Loregiver, The Madjai are commonly thought of as personifications of the most important aspects of Mythos. These teachings say that to know The Madjai was to know these qualities of Mythos-- and the more one learned of these faces, the closer they got to true divinity.
