Sahali Pantheon

In Traditional Sahale religion, a set of nine deities were observed and worshiped. 3 gods, 3 goddesses, and 3 beasts.

Arlinian
His full title was "Arlinian, father of the sun, duke of war, and guide of the dead." In daily life, he was prayed to at sunrise and sundown. During times of war, Arlinian was prayed to for victory or protection of casualties.

Arlinian's first form resembled an armored male of medium build with four wings an a monster's face on his back. Arlinian also had a second, beastlier form that he could "transform" into. The face on the back would awaken, his wings would form horns, and his head would "retract" into his armor.

In legend, Arlinian was considered an ideal Sahali. One who had total control over themselves and the beast within, but knew when holding back was no longer an option. Even in his beast form, Arlinian still had control over himself, enough to negotiate with Radmeti, the Sahali deity of death.

Incarla
His full title was "Incarla, rider of clouds, leader of the song, and bearer of the tome." In daily life, he was worshiped by performers and those who practiced public speaking.

He resembled a young boy with the head of an eagle. His voice was said to be sensual and deep for someone of his age and had a beautiful song that could calm even the most viscous and enraged of Grimm. He held a songbook in his hand and dressed in the finest clothes.

In legend, Incarla saved the continent of Menagerie from Avolkida's hunger by singing to it. His lullaby caused the beast to drift into a deep sleep where the people of Menagerie pushed it back into the sea. When Avolkida finally awoke after a century, it had forgotten why it had attacked the land in the first place. He and Mytheus are often at odds with each other.

Mytheus
Her full title was "Mytheus, sister of the tracker, friend of the negotiator, and maker of maps." In daily life, she was prayed to by scouts and merchants. For a nomadic culture, Mytheus was one of the most worshiped due to her domains. Many shrines and milestones bear her image.

She resembled a young woman who held a telescope and scales. She had long hair that flowed freely and dressed in either travelers robes or a like a high-class socialite. She tends to be quite jealous despite her silver tongue.

In legend, Mytheus was said to be the one who negotiated the trade of dust with Radmeti. She and Incarla wanted the crystals that grew out of Radmeti's back and in his cave. While Incarla sang to clam the beast, Mytheus bargained and traded. In the end, it was determined that souls being brought to him by Arlinian would be left alone, but it was free to devour the souls of criminals and betrayers. In return, it would let humans and faunus enter its domain to mine dust.

Radmeti
Its full title was "Radmeti, king of the grimm, ruler of the earth, and punisher of man." Radmeti is only prayed to when a village or clan faces certain death. Sacrifices are offered to him in hopes of him sparing the village in addition to prayers to Incarla and Mytheus that they will negotiate with him.

It resembled a Goliath Grimm with twelve horns and two heads. One on the front and one on the back. Black crystals grew out of its back and it had fire in its eyes. Radmeti though, was quite noble and was very fair with his demands. If a deal is struck with it, he will honor that deal to the end. Betray it, and it will bring unbearable wrath upon you.

In legend, Radmeti is the one who allows humans and faunus to mine dust in his realm. As part of the deal Mythus struck with him, he will only come to villages and clans who are prone to violence and anger. Early Order of the Black Dawn artifacts seem to imply that they were a cult that mainly worshiped Radmeti.

Zetescu
Its full title was "Zetescu, beast of chaos, controller of storms, and chief of the weather." Zetescu is not prayed to, but sacrifices of money and food are offered to him by travelers and nomads. It is the only beast that is interacted with directly.

Zetescu resembles a Nevermore with seven eyes. It has three sets of wings, one by its head, one in the center, and one on its ankles. These are not bird wings, but dragon wings. Poison is said to drip from its mouth and when it flaps its wings, storms are brought.

In legend, Zetescu distrusts the gods and goddesses and cannot speak. He ignores the words of Mytheus and does not care for Incarla's song. Unlike Radmeti, Zetescu is sly and has a habit of betraying deals that are struck with him. This angers Radmeti especially, but there is nothing that the beast can do. Everytime Radmeti chases it, Zetescu takes shelter in the mountains while generating a great storm that Radmeti and its minions cannot go through.
