| Araray himself has a counselor in the form of the paladin called [[Samariel]], and it is from him that battle tactics originate from. The paladin god makes use of sorcery and magic as well as the blade and armor, and from his magic and blade comes a certain destruction in his enemies. Samariel advises the patriarch in strategy for encroaching enemies, especially those seen in the [[Novya]], as it is from Samariel that they are ignited with a golden light and banished back to [[Exitius|the void]]. The deity thus inspired the foundational battle magic that would become commonplace among the Arethara who engaged in that behavior, thereby allowing its further development as a discipline.\\ | Araray himself has a counselor in the form of the paladin called [[Samariel]], and it is from him that battle tactics originate from.

| [[Allidias]] is another goddess of the Elefyr, and she is the handmaiden of the queen of perfection, Diona, though possessing an exquisite beauty of her own. The handmaiden professes the love shared in an elven union to be sacred, and it is from her given texts that the Arethara are instructed in the proper mating rituals and their initial pairing. Allidias defines this love as a transcendent force, and though it is transcendent, its expression must be contained within the strictures which Allidias grants and lives in accordance to.\\ | [[Allidias]] is another goddess of the Elefyr, and she is thought to encapsulate the beauty of the original Cephareth into a modern form. As she is related to the water spirits through her possession of beauty, the goddess is also associated with the tempestuous desire of the undulant waters as desire flows from her sexual organs, thereby being reminiscent of the [[Undara|Undari people]]. Allidias is thus a goddess of elven mating, providing the philosophy of freedom of love with reproduction that occurs throughout the Arethara, where it may be perceived that she champions sexual reproduction by way of promoting desire.\\ |

| [[Caluriel]], a god of the Elefyr who first sought to possess a shape after the Cephareth had become wholly physical beings, was the one who laid the grounds of trapping the divine light within themself such that an ideal shape could be revealed and further exemplified. The deity enabled other elven ancestors to come into themselves in physicality, thereby allowing them a quintessential format to exist as. Accordingly, Araray, being one of the original Cephareth himself, is thought to inhabit within forms that are ever shifting, though this notably grants him an innate understanding of magic and mana that a physical being might never be able to achieve. Nonetheless, Araray chooses to be incarnated in shapes that are reminiscent of Caluriel's initial shape, furthermore exemplifying Caluriel's given claim to a perceived apotheosis.\\ | [[Caluriel]], a god of the Elefyr who first sought to possess a shape after the Cephareth had become wholly physical beings, was the one who laid the grounds of trapping the divine light within themself such that an ideal shape could be revealed and further exemplified.

| [[Aenyxos]], the seventh and final god of the Elefyr, is a scribe who stands at the precipice between life and death, recording the deaths of the Arethara and providing a place for them to rest within the physical world. It is thought that he presides over the cycles of reincarnation such that knowledge is passed down and given by the ancestors to their proper descendants, so that an ancestor spirit may once again know the physical form of a body in their descendant. Thus, Aenyxos is a god of reincarnation, recording all instances of soul so that none of it may be lost to the later descendants. | [[Aenyxos]], the seventh and final god of the Elefyr, is a scribe who stands at the precipice between life and death, recording the deaths of the Arethara and providing a place for them to rest within the physical world.
