Because of repeated questions and occasional physical assaults (yes, the bruises are healing nicely, thank you) I have included as a second appendix a genuine historical document which lists and names most of the principal gods of the Trigonate faith and the names by which other peoples of Eion and Xand call them.

PERIN the god of the sky and Thane of Lightnings is called Argal by the Xixians, Cloudwalker , Skylord , and Thunder by the Qar, Hand of the Sky or Lord of the Peaks by the Rooftoppers, and Pyarin by the Skimmers.

ERIVOR the god of the waters is called Eshervat in the south of Xand, Efiyal by the Xixians, Egye-Var by the Skimmer-folk, and Ocean by the Qar.

KERNIOS the lord of the underworld is named Xergal by the Xixians, Black Earth by the Qar, and Karisnovois by the Rooftoppers.

Together, Perin, Erivor, and Kernios are known as the Trigon, the Three, the Brothers, or the Three Brothers.

DEVONA, goddess of the forest, called Devona of the Harp

ERILO, god of the harvest, which is why the Qar name him Harvest .

HILIOMETES the mighty demigod is sometimes called (or confused with) Melarkh, hero of the Xixians.

HONNOS the god of travelers is called Yunas by the Xixians and Red Stag by the Qar.

IMMON the Gatekeeper of Kernios is called Yermun among the Xixians and Black Noszh-La by the Funderlings of Southmarch.

KHORS the first god of the moon, named Xosh by the Xixians and Silvergleam by the Qar.

KUPILAS the Artificer, god of healing and making and smithing, is called Crooked by the Qar, Habbili by the heathens of Xis, and Kioy-a-pous by the Skimmers.

MADI ONYENA, mother of Zmeos, Khors, and Zuriyal, called Ugeni by the Xixians; Umdi Onajena by others of the southern lands, and Bird Mother or Breeze by the Qar.

MADI SURAZEM, mother of the Three Brothers, called Shusayem in Xis and Moisture by the immortal Qar.

ZMEOS the Horned Serpent, the Great Enemy, called Nushash by the Xixians and Whitefire by the Qar. His sword was also named Whitefire. (In the pagan rites of the Xixians, Zmeos stole and married Zoria to begin the Godwar, not his brother Khors, as our faith teaches.)

ZO, grandfather of the gods, is called Light by the Qar and Tso by the Xixians

ZORIA the daughter of Perin, mother of Kupilas, and later the wife of Kernios is called Suya by the Xixians and Pale Daughte r, Dove , Dawnflower , or Almond Blossom by the Twilight Folk, or Qar.

ZURIYAL the Merciless, sister of Zmeos and Khors, called Surigali by the people of distant Xis, and Judgement by the Qar.

The war between the children of Surazem and Oneyna, called the Godwar, is also named the Theomachy or Onyenomachy.
