I have another lore document to share today.

 

This time it is a compilation of all the deities mentioned in the lore and all available information on each.

It also offers a comparison of titles with the original Korean for some of the entities, showing the differences between the original text and the localization. This one has with time created confusion regarding who is who and ended up causing some implied connotations to be missed in English.

 

2026 Update:

The old documents have been discontinued. You can check the University of Calpheon YouTube channel, where the same content is slowly being shared in video format.

 

As always, feel free to comment and give any feedback, suggestion, or critique you have about it!

It's clear you've put in a lot of work (and I'm thoroughly impressed with your style and usage of referencing).

Very well done!

This work has been updated with everything we've come to know since the last update a year ago. Mainly information about Sylvia, Godr-Ayed, Hadum, Tunta, and the Ynix. Alongside the updated text, pictures have also been added.

Sylvia split due to outside influence and is now (at least) Hadum and Illezra, with Illezra identifying as the current Sylvia. Both are separate entities (as far as we know) that work against each other. Elion seems to have given up on fighting Hadums influence on the world because he believes it is for naught in the end, and that Despair will always take over. Enslar is following the god she is devoted to with that mindset and now works towards bringing that end. Whether or not that is evil is for you to decide. 

Lastly, Orwens parents are Cartian (who wants to take over her body as the perfect vessel for herself and her black spirit powers) and Caphras (who after fighting against Hadum for many years now adopted a similar mindset as Elion again, with believing Hadums ascent into this world being inevitable), so somewhat yes on that question. With the factors to consider that Cartian doesnt care about Orwen dying but rather sees it as a way to become immortal and Caphras just not caring who dies because he believes everyone will. 

Whit, please correct where i got something wrong.
