Gods of Jesian folklore

Akira
The one and only true god. Creator of the universe, center of the universe, ruler of the universe. There is no power above Akira.
Regarded as one of the most important gods, Jesians worship Akira devoutly.

Akira is the sun, and it is represented by the sun also. Jesians surround their entire culture around the sun and Akira, not only on their flag but also in their mythology. The sun is seen as the source of all life, and where the universe began. There is nothing else but Akira. Akira is the reason why the stars shine at night, why the oceans and land exist, where we came from. Akira is all. Nothing above Akira. The rising sun is all of existence. The start of time, and the bringer of life.

Himokami
Lord of the moon. Rules over the darkness and light in the sky at night. Constantly fights with the Lord of Evil. Is generally helpful to those who deserve it. Is worshiped by only few. Unlike Akira, Himokami intervenes a lot, while Akira simply observes all of the universe.

Himokami is generally symbolized by the moon, and also a phoenix. Himokami can control the stars, the moon, and the water. However, Himokami has no control over life or land. In the old world where Jesia is from, there have been actual encounters with Himokami by a wide arrange of people, and the role of Himokami is deeply rooted in old world history not only in Jes history but also the Chizans, the Choson, Indis people, the Nams people, and the Tengris people. Is supposedly one of the gods that sent Jesia to the new world.

Aku
Lord of Evil. Ruler of darkness. King of hellfire. Bringer of death. Aku is pure evil. Does not have control over the world, however is very powerful in the spirit world. Also the ruler of the pit of hate. The pit of hate is a realm consisting of pure hell and evil. Aku was once a mortal. In order for Aku's rule to reign for all of time, Aku must conquer all eight corners of the world.

A shape-shifting evil god made up of pure darkness and evil. Aku was once a mortal woman. The woman's name was not known however, and her story on how she became the epitome of evil is unknown too. Unlike the other gods, Aku has no true form. Is also resistant to all blade and arrow, except those blessed or considered holy weapons.
