After the untimely demise of the two God-Emissaries Asche and JadeNight (who still exists, but only as a phantom), the Land was thrown into chaos, with invasions more frequent and the shift of powers even reaching up into the remote echelons of Heaven and Hell.
In response to this, the Divinities have come to the Land, taking up the responsibilities of the two previous God-Emissaries. Headed by the Jade Emperor of the Heavens and with FelMaiden representing Hell, they have pledged to protect the Land by maintaining the delicate balance of Yin and Yang and by guiding the Path-Seekers on their Cultivation.
Jade Emperor, Ruler of the Heavens
Descending to the Land after hearing of the chaos, the Jade Emperor brings with him the Mandate of Heaven, the law upon which all other laws are based on. It is on the strength of his Mandates that the wheels of war turn yet ritual combat maintained, and from the guidance that his Mandates provide the Path-seekers may find the Path. He has come to take a direct hand to protect that which he has worked so hard to cultivate.
FelMaiden, Divinity of Hell
The last God-Emissary, FelMaiden still remains watching over the Land. Locked with an uneasy truce with the forces of Heaven in the war against the Soulless, she stands as the highest-ranked officer of Hell in the Land. All demons answer her beck and call, and despite her appearance as a Wingkin, humans and even the Beastkin hold her in high regard.
Moonshine, Divinity of Luck and Chatagai, Divinity of Certainty
They were called the twin spirits of the strings of Destiny: Moonshine of Luck and Chatagai of Certainty.
Of Chatagai's word many are assured, for what he says is truth and is destined to happen. He is often sought by those who make plans and chart maps, and is hearkened to by those who are lost. Precision and growth are his purview.
However, his twin Moonshine of Luck is his complete opposite. She is often hearkened by those who craft, and it is said that it she spurned the famed rumormonger Wei Xiaobao after telling him some of his rumors—which only become real when they choose to. The forges of the Ironsmiths and Craftsmen, the looms of the Tailors, and the Castellans’ hammers—all are sacred to her, and they swing true and fail depending on her moods.
Mei Shen, Divinity of Prosperity and Good Fortune
Beloved by the Path-seekers for her generosity and kindness, Mei Shen blesses hard-working Path-seekers with bounties beyond their imaginations. Said to be the fairest of the Divinities, she can be often found in the caves and dungeons of the Land, helping those who are in need. She loves wine and precious stones and is perceived to be flighty; but she truly loves the land and works hard to protect it.
WarSpine, Divinity of Combat
Son of Asche and JadeNight, heir to their powers; his existence was only discovered only recently by FelMaiden as she searched the Land for the last remnants of the Invasion. Truly his parents’ son—he delights in war like his mother, yet still maintains the righteousness of his father—he is a formidable force to reckon with once he is roused to anger.
SteelWing, Divinity of the Storms
It is said that only in storms would you hear his wings beat, accompanied by lightning flashing from the skies. Called SteelWing, sentinel of the skies; his name is invoked by those who have been wronged. His sword strikes the unjust in silence, and his wings are the swiftest of all in the Land.
BlackHalo, Divinity of Chaos
Beneath her delicate features and appearance as a peace-loving Wingkin lies the embodiment of fear. Little is known about BlackHalo, though many say that she was born of the Void – Chaos taken to form; even said by some to be a defector from the side of the Soulless. Only a few had survived to see her, for as they say, she only appears in times of war and strife.
