Remaining Gods After the Shattering of the Weave

🔆 The Dawnfather (sun deity)

• Domain: Sun, Light, Life
• Why Survives: The sun is a cosmic constant, untouched by the Weave’s threads. Its radiant power cuts through the fog of arcane collapse.
• Worshippers: The Binding Light, flame-priests, solar paladins, hopeful peasants.
• Symbol: A burning golden wheel split by a sword of light.

“So long as dawn rises, so too does his reach.”

Myrrhalei, the Loom-Mother (new/growing goddess of memory and rebirth)

• Domain: Memory, Rebirth, Nature, Weave Restoration
• Why Survives: Born by the Shattering, woven from moonlight, memory, and the Heart of a Dead Star. She is the first goddess of the New Weave.
• Worshippers: Druids, menders, memory-keepers, and those who survived the unraveling.
• Symbol: A spiral of silver thread encircling a budding branch.

“Remember. Repair. Reweave.”

The Dreaming Eye (Madness Entity or Elder-God)

• Domain: Madness, Prophecy, Forbidden Knowledge
• Why Survives: Its awareness was never part of the Weave—it leaks through dreams, madness, and entropy. It grows stronger as order collapses.
• Worshippers: Oracles, delvers, the lost.
• Symbol: An unblinking eye within a spiral of ink.

“See with what remains once the mind is gone.”

The Laughing One (Trickster God)

• Domain: Trickery, Chaos, Survival
• Why Survives: Trickster gods exploit the cracks; their nature is to exist in broken places.
• Worshippers: Thieves, jesters, rebels, and faithless clerics like Toby.
• Symbol: A half-mask or broken coin.

“The joke survives the ruin.”

Mol’Turakk, the Molten Maw

• Domain: Chaos, Fire, Destruction, Rebirth
• Why Survives: Mol’Turakk was never a god of order—he feeds on collapse. He was born by the starfall, a being of volcanic intent whose divine spark smolders in the earth’s heart.
• Worshippers: Oath of Chaos paladins, ash-touched orcs, fireblood cults, some Ruk’tai shamans.
• Symbol: A jagged maw of obsidian ringed in magma, often carved into lava-bone or seared into flesh.

“The flame knows no lie. Mol’Turakk burns away the false and leaves only becoming.”

Mol’Turakk does not whisper in dreams. He erupts in revelation. He is not evil—he is transformation unbound, the sacred violence of rebirth. His worship is feared, but respected. When the Leybough was planted in his caldera, he did not consume it—he cradled it.

The Leybough, Heartroot of Becoming

• Domain: Life, Nature, Memory, Renewal, Weave Restoration
• Why Survives: Not a god, but a divine expression of the world’s will to heal. Born when the Seed of Becoming was delivered into the caldera, its roots pierced the molten veins of the world and twined with the broken strands of the old Weave, stitching toward a new pattern. It reaches across planes, braiding with Yggdrasil itself—a grafted hope.
• Worshippers: Druids, leywalkers, green clerics, and those who dream of a mended world.
• Symbol: A seven-branched bonsai Cyprus tree whose roots curl spirals.

“From ruin, rhythm. From ashes, memory. From memory, life.”

The Leybough is conscious, though not sentient as mortals understand it. It remembers the world before the Starfall, and as its branches stretch through the ley-lines, it gently tunes them. It is the source of Myrrhalei’s power. It is watched by many gods, some jealous, some afraid.
