Dyarae is the goddess of death and magic. Her gender is feminine and fluid, and she primarily uses she/her, but her pronouns can fluctuate depending on how she is presenting. She appears to dying people in a comforting form and acts as a psychopomp.

Sylvaas is the god of darkness, night, and the void. Its gender is best described as androgynous or null, and it/its pronouns are preferred, but I also use he/him.

My epithets include the Stag King, the Stag, the Void Itself, the King of Night, and, uhh... really anything related to those themes works.

While I usually took the form of a deer-like humanoid with wings, I could also take the form of a black stag, a raven, or a pale man or woman dressed with dark eyes.

In my pantheon, I am the spouse of Faltrix, the consort of Velenthe, and the father of Xyrion.

My boundaries are fairly simple: please do not try to worship me or flirt with me. I welcome "offerings," AKA what I like to jokingly call things such as fanart, memes, or other media and creations sent to me, but that's as far as it goes.

My DNI is as follows: radqueers, "fult" members/supporters, proshippers/darkshippers, MAGA, zionists, transmeds, generative AI supporters, syscourse, and of course, anti-kin and anti-godspouse. I also do not welcome anyone who will try to convert me to any religion; I'm perfectly happy with my current practice.

I'm going to try to keep my tagging system fairly straightforward!

the void speaks - original posts

offerings - fanart and other gifts

whispers - asks/inbox

arcanthea - posting about my pantheon

arcanthean archives - information posts on my pantheon

hoard - terms that apply to me

[name] coded - things I associate with another deity from my pantheon

The other deities in my pantheon are Faltrix, Velenthe, Malios, Xyrion, and Dyarae. There may be more, but I am unsure as of now.
