	'''Marduk''' {{Pronunciation\|MAR-duke}} is the dragon god of order, rulership, healing, and the sun. Born alongside Tiamat from the primordial egg, he predates the known universe. It is through him that the cosmos was given structure and order. Marduk is thought to have granted the first dragon-princes their kingship after creation, later elevating them into the heavens as the stars. He then joined them there, turning into the sun to provide predictable and orderly cycles to the world.

	The draconic god's followers do not always agree as to what defines his highest tenets. Some consider his lawful aspects to be centrally important, while others believe his good aspects to be the most fundamental and unshakable facets of the deity. Marduk's followers themselves are as equally varied, including those that wish to maintain order in the world, those who seek to do good, and those that simply see the god as a great divinity to respect. Most draconic healers are devotees of Marduk.

	Marduk is thought to take many forms. He is variously portrayed as a metallic dragon so massive that he coils around himself endlessly, a sun with draconic wings, or as the sky itself. Followers of the Draconic pantheon tend to be far more concerned with conveying the concepts of their gods through their depictions than with any notions of accuracy.

	Harinna embodies justice, honor, and even-handed rulership. She represents the stabilizing influence of the law, but only when applied equally and fairly - to Harinna, tyranny is as inimical as chaos. Just as the sun's rays enlighten and nourish the world, clearing away the darkness of chaos, she teaches that rulers should teach and foster the growth of those under their authority. Her clergy instruct that one must follow and enforce the law for the good of all of society, as long as one's leaders hold to the same principles. All good rulers should lead by example, setting a path for their people through their own deeds.		Harinna embodies justice, honor, and even-handed rulership.

Harinna's faith is especially strong in [[Viridia]], where the monarchy and [[senate]] draw legitimacy from the long-standing support of her clergy.

	Before the beginning of creation, Harinna was the goddess of duty and purpose. She marshaled the other gods to follow the plans her brother [[Socharin]] had drafted for the universe, fervently organizing them to create the world in his vision. When [[Lotan]] struck at Socharin, enraged at the order that had been formed out of the primordial chaos, Harinna led the other gods in pushing the World-Encircler back to the deepest waters. Gravely injured in the attack, Socharin gave his form to allow the world to be reborn, yet he too was reborn, albeit changed. He had observed Harinna's zeal and knew that while he could no longer occupy his former role, his sister could. He transferred his domains of rulership and law to Harinna and stepped back to let her lead. No longer merely the enforcer and overseer, Harinna now leads the ceaseless fight against the indefatigable Lotan, protecting the other gods and their creation from the divine beast that would consume them all.

			'''Eraamn''' {{Pronunciation\|eh-RAHMN}}, the Solar Eye, is the foremost of the good gods of the [[Bohaar pantheon]]. She is the source of all light, heat, and time, and is therefore the bringer and sustainer of life to a once-barren world. As the sun she makes a parade across the sky each day, casting down life-giving energy to all mortal life and allowing the passage of the hours. This journey tires her immensely, as well as brings physical aging to the goddess, and as a result she must rest each night to rejuvenate and restore her strength.

			The goddess occupies many roles. She is a life-giver, but a law-giver too, the protector of all who exist under the sun. Eraamn is particularly concerned with the safety of travelers and others who wander, physically or otherwise, as she has great care for those like her who cannot remain still.

			Eraamn was the second god, though notions of time are hazy when applied to the era before her existence, as such a force simply did not exist prior. She self-created on the world in what was to become the [[Reed-Crowned Lake]] in [[Bohaar]]. She perceived there was form but no light, or consciousness, or warmth. To rectify this, Eraamn lit a spark, but it was snuffed out by [[Ob]]. She lit a torch but he did the same, then a bonfire, likewise to no success. Finally she rose into the sky and lit herself on fire, burning brightly enough, and far enough out of reach of Ob, that the light would reach across the world. She is said to have lost her right eye in this first of days to a worm-tendril of Ob, which she then rescued from the god's maw and cast up into the night to create Seriil.

			The Solar Eye is the primary deity worshiped by followers of the Bohaar pantheon. Her diviners often eventually go blind through their labors, a condition they believe to be holy as it connects them to the damaged vision of their goddess.

			Eraamn is depicted as a humanoid woman dressed in clothes of fire, her head ringed by a sun disk. She is always shown with one eye, though the style in which this accomplished has varied over time, shifting between a missing right eye or a cyclopean face. She is also frequently shown as simply a singular eye ringed by a sun disk, a simplified form that also serves as a holy symbol.

	Harinna's primary holy text is the ''[[The Book of Justice]]''. Written as a narrative that places Harinna as the overseer of the other gods and all of creation, in the tale she listens to a series of disputes between both the divines and mortals under her rule.

	'''Marduk''' {{Pronunciation\|MAR-duke}} is the dragon god of order, rulership, healing, and the sun. Born alongside Tiamat from the primordial egg, he predates the known universe. It is through him that the cosmos was given structure and order. Marduk is thought to have granted the first dragon-princes their kingship after creation, later elevating them into the heavens as the stars. He then joined them there, turning into the sun to provide predictable and orderly cycles to the world.

	The draconic god's followers do not always agree as to what defines his highest tenets. Some consider his lawful aspects to be centrally important, while others believe his good aspects to be the most fundamental and unshakable facets of the deity. Marduk's followers themselves are as equally varied, including those that wish to maintain order in the world, those who seek to do good, and those that simply see the god as a great divinity to respect. Most draconic healers are devotees of Marduk.

	Marduk is thought to take many forms. He is variously portrayed as a metallic dragon so massive that he coils around himself endlessly, a sun with draconic wings, or as the sky itself. Followers of the Draconic pantheon tend to be far more concerned with conveying the concepts of their gods through their depictions than with any notions of accuracy.
