Heralds of Valdemar/Characters/Deities and General Character Tropes

This subsection of the Heralds of Valdemar Character Sheet deals with the deities of the setting, as well as general character tropes shared by various groups within the series.

Kal'enel, "The Star-eyed Goddess"
The Goddess of all the Kaled'a'in clans, she is has four aspects, the Maiden, the Warrior, the Mother and the Crone.


 * Divine Delegation: A pretty recent thing. She just chose Avatars for herself at the end of The Mage Winds Trilogy.
 * The Hecate Sisters: Three of her four aspects, the odd one being the Warrior.
 * I Have Many Names: It's pretty firmly established by the end of the Mage Storms trilogy that all the various cultures' different goddesses are just different names/faces for her.
 * Technicolor Eyes: Sort of, her eyes are like a patch of the night sky.
 * The Omniscient: Averted, even She doesn't always know what's going to happen.
 * Physical God: There is no doubt that She exists and She has interfered relatively often and unmistakably in the lives of her people over the years.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: She is good to her people, but she doesn't baby them either.

Vkandis the Sun Lord
The God worshiped in Karse
 * Bolt of Divine Retribution
 * Fan Nickname: Vkandis the Unsubtle
 * I Have Many Names: As with Kal'enel, it's made pretty clear that all the various male gods worshiped by the different cultures are all just aliases and masks for this being.
 * Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!
