• Skirin – The second (and physically the largest) is “The Lord of the Night”, or “The Great Night Hawk” as he is sometimes called. His abode is the brilliant blue moon. To him, all things are of equal weight: light and dark, good and evil. He is ever the final arbiter in the affairs betwixt all things opposite. The misty legends tell us that it was Skirin’s “breath” that brought forth the air and clouds, so that each living thing does pay him homage with each breath that they take.

• The Lady of Light – The last of the original three gods is “The Lady of the Silver Moon”. Her abode is that largest and brightest of the three moons, the moon of silver. It was she who created all things that grow and live upon the lands, in the seas, and in the air, so that each and every one living on Khaas is one of “her children”. She is also, occasionally, referred to as “The Shepherdess” (and Khaas’ sentient beings, of course, are her flock). It is she who is in constant contention with Shagrath and all that he might wreak upon the world.

The enmity between Shagrath and The Lady of Light is primeval and without any chance of rectification. The Spyder god considers the world and all within it to be his to do with as he desires. After all, he built the world, didn’t he? The Lady, on the other hand, feels the pain and tears of each and every one of her creations, and knows that she must not allow the complete and utter corruption of that which was intended for good.

This contention has, at times, taken on the proportions of a literal “war” with each side creating (or twisting) beings to do their bidding; usually something contrary to what their opponent would wish.
