The six deities are said to have awakened when the First Silence fractured. Aureth took the shard that became law, Khyr seized the burning shard, Vaelune gathered the shard of memory, Morvath claimed the shard of ending, Seressa swallowed the shard of becoming, and Nhalor slipped between the fragments. None agrees on whether they are siblings, rivals, or facets of one forgotten intelligence.

The universe is an ordered theater built upon the First Silence. Aureth raised the celestial vault, Khyr kindled the sun beneath it, and Vaelune set the moon upon its turning path. Morvath opened the grave beneath mortal life, while Seressa filled the world with blood, growth, and recurrence. Nhalor inhabits the spaces between all things, preserving the unknowable distance beyond the stars.

The religion has no supreme earthly authority. Each deity maintains independent temples, priestly orders, sacred festivals, and initiation traditions, while shared high temples display six empty thrones around a central brazier. Councils of six priests settle disputes only when at least four traditions agree. Mystery cults emphasize personal communion with one deity; civic temples emphasize balance among the six. Priests are commonly called Keepers, with titles distinguished by deity: Judges of Aureth, Veiled Guides of Vaelune, Spear-Bearers of Khyr, Last Keepers of Morvath, Bloom-Speakers of Seressa, and Unanswerers of Nhalor.

Mortal religions are organized into temples, mystery cults, philosophical schools, household shrines, and rival priesthoods. Most kingdoms honor Aureth publicly, Khyr during war, Vaelune in grief, Seressa at births and marriages, and Morvath at funerals. Nhalor's worship is outlawed in many cities yet quietly tolerated by rulers who need secrets. Clerics may serve one deity while acknowledging the entire assembly, and schisms often arise when a priest claims one god's values should govern all mortal life.

The dead travel across the Still Meridian, a silver road between worlds. At its gates, Aureth weighs memory, Vaelune receives the faithful into her moonlit gardens, and Morvath claims those who died with unfinished oaths. Some souls descend with Khyr, where their deeds are tested in flame; others vanish into the silence guarded by Nhalor. A soul may ultimately be reborn through Seressa's hidden turning, though no deity admits certainty about what returns.
