Editing Arena of Storms (section)

==Gods==
===The High God also known as the God of Elements, the God of Storms and the God of Lightning===
The God of Storms is indisputably the most powerful god. He is also the most ruthless and cruel of them all, and enjoys plaguing the Arena-dwellers with lightning, hail and the dreaded Thunderborn hordes. His cruelty causes the Arena-dwellers (except the Minotaurs) to refuse to give him worship, which angers him and causes him to punish them more, creating a vicious circle of punishment and defiance. It is widely believed that even if all the Arena were to worship him exclusively, the malice of the Storm God's heart would not be contained and he would continue his attacks anyway. His ceaseless cruelty has roused heroes and other gods against him numerous times, but these attempts to depose him have all been quashed under his mighty fist, though some were very nearly successful. The God of Storms ordered the construction of the Arena and the Sands Vast and Burning to prevent further attempts by the mortal races to interfere with his endless brutality.

According to one legend, the God of Storms' anger and hatred of mortals are the result of his loss of control of the element of fire. He used to be the God of Elements, but fire was stolen from him by a man and woman who ventured into Paradise.

===The Goddess of Water===
A consort of the God of Storms, mother to the God of Ice and Goddess of the Sea.

===The Goddess of Air===
The chief deity of the Birdmen and wife of the God of Storms. Her main concern is ensuring that mortals don't climb over the Wall, which the Birdmen have made one of the main focuses of their culture.

===The Goddess of Fire===
A goddess worshiped by the Reptiloids and one of the creators of the Sands Vast and Burning. She is mostly loyal to the God of Storms, and is allowed inside Paradise.

===The God of Earth===
The god most worshiped by the Reptiloids, who helped create the Sands and, in some accounts, the Wall itself. He is allowed to freely enter Paradise.

===The Goddess of the Underworld===
A goddess whose original station has long been forgotten, who once challenged the God of Storms and was killed as punishment. However, she was powerful enough even in death to assume control of hell, which is a physical place deep underground and now the home of the Demons and Titans.

===The God of Creation===
Creator of the sun and the world, which was corrupted by the other gods. Possibly the father of the God of Ice and/or the Goddess of the Sea.

===The God of Rivers===
The God of Rivers is lord of the River Yore which flows through the Wall and provides the Arena's inhabitants with most of their water. The River Yore has many tributaries as well that. He is the foremost opponent of the God of Storms and because of this, he is one of the most widely worshiped gods. However, it is unclear whether his opposition stems from his sympathy with the mortals of the Arena or his jealousy of the Storm God's power. In any case, his defiance resulted in  being very unpopular in Paradise, so he mostly lives near his river. He is entirely intolerant of those who would pollute or otherwise interfere with his river, and will punish them severely.

===The Goddess of the Sea===
An erstwhile wife of the God of Ice who left him when his Demigod son waged war on the God of Storms. She is the daughter of the Goddess of Water and either the God of Storms or the God of Creation, and therefore sister or half-sister of the God of Ice. She is hated by the God of Storms for having been married to the God of Ice, and now resides within the wall, in the Great Sea, where she is the chief deity of the Cyclopes.

===The God of Death===
Father to the God of Sickness and, by some accounts, the Elves, who serve his son.

===The Goddess of Life===
Responsible for the Elves' inability to contact the gods (or, by some accounts, only the good gods) because she was offended by their lineage of Death and Sickness.

===The Goddess of Woodlands===
Mother to the Elves and possibly the Dryads, and master of the forest animals.

===The God of Sickness===
Master of the Elves, and son of the God of Death. According to those who maintain that Elves are incapable of contact with any god, he has since lost contact with his servants and they have gone astray, spreading throughout the Arena's forests.

===The God of Ice===
The God of Ice resides atop Mount Beartooth and is worshiped by the Humans who live there. His mother was the Goddess of Water and his father was either the God of Storms or the God of Creation. He inadvertently angered the God of Storms by taking a human wife, and was punished by being banished from Paradise. His son by her, the first Demigod, raised an army against the God of Storms, but was narrowly defeated. According to some, this resulted in the God of Storms separating the mortals and the gods, though others maintain that the existence of the Wall predates the war.
