The Far Corners of Creation: Gods, Elementals, Raksha, and Demons

Duke Aral: A raksha noble, whom Chuul of the Crushing Ice claims Amon City-Smiter collaborated with to destroy Deshamen. Chuul of the Crushing Ice: This god usually takes the form of a walrus apparently composed of thousands of small pieces of ice, which slip past each other as he moves. He is wanted in Yu-Shan for the crime of collaboration with the Fair Folk, but he claims that he has been framed by Amon City-Smiter after he overheard that god himself collaborating with Deshamen. Eightfold Venom Of The Ungrateful Heart: God of the tarblood plague, about which nothing further is currently known. He was convicted of trumped-up (according to him) charges of aiding enemies of Creation, and would have been sentenced to being forged into starmetal if Seeker of Sublime Truths hadn't intervened and had his sentence commuted to serving Seeker. He has spent the intervening centuries maintaining a small lab of Seeker's in the extreme northwest of Creation. Gilkilan: Field spirit of the olive orchard outside Guin, on the Blessed Isle. She accepted prayers and sacrifices of blood (though not lives) from the people of Guin, in violation of the Immaculate Philosophy. Confronted by the Circle, she backed down and agreed to act meek in front of Sesus Hassop. The Ivory Duke: A noble raksha with a striking appearance: an emaciated body which appears to be carved from ivory, a luxurious mane of bright red hair, and brilliant blue eyes--one of which appears to be a cat's eye. He has a throne which is carried about by a swarm of dozens of cats; these cats appear normal, but are known to be fae creatures. He is fascinated by Sabien and her goal of equality for all people, which led to his enchantment of the village of Harberg. "Kame Tal": An elemental who arose in the central volcano of the island of Yu-Shan, he met the Circle there and served as a guide and errand-runner. His usual form is of a bird-man in a (now-tattered) leather harness. Norrath: Road god of the Western Coastal Highway on the Blessed Isle. A generally amiable sort, he chatted with the Circle when they visited Guin and helped them keep Sesus Hassop from doing any damage there. He accepted the low level worship given him by the people of Guin, but did nothing to encourage it; in fact, the relationship was more one of simple respect. Plentimon: God of gambling, he splits his time between and Creation, and owns the Diving Sea Snake Casino in Mantaville. He is known to accept anything, even intangibles such as intelligence, skill, or youth, as stakes for a wager. Payoffs he has given are rumored to include divinity itself. Seskester: God of a large bay on the northwest coast of the Blessed Isle, he actively encouraged worship and sacrifices from the people of Guin. The Circle intimidated him into backing down and acting humble to Sesus Hassop. Sket: A first circle demon of the Evexen variety, Sket is bonded to Ledaal Roan. As is normal for the Evexen, he has taken on Roan's shape. In the First Age, he was a servant of the Zenith Glorious Radiance, and remained as the last guardian of the temple of the Unconquered Sun in Versino before being "rescued" by the Circle. To get Sket past the wards surrounding the Isle of Voices, it was necessary to bind it to Roan's Bracer of the Hawk, freeing the hawk-spirit in the process. Unexpected Confluence: God of disasters, formerly a river spirit. Sometime companion of Roan in Yu-Shan, she mainly seemed amused at the various events that went on around him. Zaran: God of the forge, head of a hierarchy of forge-related deities. He and Hunter experimented a bit together on "unforging" soulsteel.
