| Siobhan is the Great Spirit of the Surface - the Natural world, as it is called. Siobhan's handiwork is seen all across Alvion, in the trees, the birds, and her fey-blooded children: the Elves and Gnomes. Although generally considered a good force, Siobhan possesses a somewhat unforgiving primal side - just as the wood is beautiful in the day with birds singing and flowers blooming, so is the wood terrifying in the pitch black of night when the canopy hides any sign of starlight, as wolves howl through the trees and untold beasts stalk your every move. | Siobhan is the Great Spirit of the Earth - the Natural world, as it is called.

| Siobhan is closely associated to the Fey, and some believe that she is a sort of Fairy Queen herself, with a distinct Seelie and Unseelie side to go with it. | Siobhan is closely associated to the Fey, and some believe that she is a sort of Fairy Queen herself, with a distinct Seelie and Unseelie side to go with it. |
| ==== Pazuzu ==== | ==== Pazuzu ==== |
| |
| Pazuzu is the Great Spirit of the Sky. For many centuries, Pazuzu was the most active of the Great Spirits, and actively manifested himself amongst the flying islands of Tir. Over time, his presence diminished, to the point which by the time of the Shattering, he was mysteriously slain. Such an event had never taken place before, and the world itself quaked in mourning of his passing, leading to the severing of Mt. Erdenheim. | Pazuzu was the Great Spirit of the Sky.

| As a result of Pazuzu's death, the islands of Tir held aloft by his winds fell into the sea, effectively destroying that civilization in the process. To this day, the wind does not blow in Alvion without one to guide them. | As a result of Pazuzu's death, the islands of Tir held aloft by his winds fell into the sea, effectively destroying that civilization in the process.

| | ==== Atlach-Nacha ==== |
| |
| | The Mother Weaver, also known as the Great Spirit of Spiders, is revered by the Drow. She exemplifies everything which the Drow value - trickery, guile, intelligence, and a sick creative disposition towards warping living things into new forms. It is said her web stretches through the cosmos, acting as a bridge between this world and the worlds which came before it, for those brave enough to traverse it. Only Atlach-Nacha's most devoted may become Driders, as a reward for their devotion. |
