) is the Ryujin goddess of Pestilence, Woods, Serpents and the progenitor of all Hevosmaan demons and many evil gods.- Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a Ryujin goddess who embodies Pestilence, Woods, and Serpents.
- The Dreaded:
- As a powerful, dangerous demonic goddess in her own right and the mother of all Hevosmaan demons and many evil gods, Ajatrot is the most feared demonic entity in the entire country.
- Inverted with Revontulet, the Aurora Crafter and Puhdistus, the Purifying Lights, who she's terrified of, as they nearly killed her the first time around and she knows if she goes to far they'll finish the job, and are very capable of doing so.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: As a living pathogen, she doesn't understand why people become doctors and healers.
- Greater-Scope Villain: She's the greatest evil in Hevosmaa, but largely works though her son and demons as a distant evil. This is because if she acts more overtly and directly, she'll earn the ire of Revontulet, the Aurora Crafter and Puhdistus, the Purifying Lights, who she can't beat.
- Kiss of Death: She is so toxic, she can literally kill someone with a kiss.
- The Magnificent: Known as "the Mother of All Demons".
- Monster Progenitor: Her title is Not Hyperbole within Hevosmaa - all demons within Hevosmaa are descended from her, along with several evil gods.
- Mother of a Thousand Young: She has a lot of children, with every demon in Hevosmaa, several evil gods, and entire subrace of dragonkind being her offspring or descendants.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Revontulet, the Aurora Crafter and Puhdistus, the Purifying Lights hard counter her and thus will step in if she crosses certain lines. Thus she restrains the amount of harm she does so they don't kill her.
- The Plague: She originally was a cataclysmic magical plague that somehow gained corporal form and intelligence after being purified. She can naturally cause these as well, and it's noted if she weren't kept in check, she could likely cause a global pandemic of potentially apocalyptic scope.
- Walking Wasteland: She's the embodiment of a cataclysmic magical plague, and even being near her is potentially deadly without proper precautions.
- You Need a Breath Mint: Her entry notes that she has a horrendously foul breath smelling like death and decay to the point it can sicken almost anyone from smell alone. It's only made worse because it's laced with so many pathogens that combined it can leave a full grown dragon incapacitated from crippling stomach pain and vomiting.
Tuoneigh, the King of the Underworld
Classification: Ethereal/Elemental
Portfolio: Death, Darkness, Peace
Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)
"Do not disturb the dead... for they have earned their eternal rest."
Tuoneigh (his entry here
) is the Black Swan Siren god of Death, Darkness, and Peace, and the beloved husband of Tuoneightar and father of Kalmane.- And I Must Scream: Unlike many Death deities, he doesn't rule over a Hell or Heaven-Realm, so good and wicked souls both occupy the same metaphysical plane, Tuoneighla. However, they're both 'out of sync' so they can't interact with each other. This is used as a punishment for the wicked dead - they see the righteous dead partake in their eternal rewards, but can never take those rewards for themselves, and are instead left completely vulnerable to the torments of the infernal demonic/divine followers of Pääpiru.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Hevosmaan Black Siren god who embodies Death, Darkness, and Peace.
- Berserk Button: Downplayed. He dislikes being disturbed without good reason, and will become cranky if it happens. Because of this, his mortal followers worship him in a quiet and reserved manner.
- Casting a Shadow: As a god of Darkness, he possesses the ability to manipulate it to create constructs, tendrils, wings, and many other things. He can also travel at extremely high speeds so long as he is shrouded in darkness and can meld into it.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite being a god of Death and Darkness, he is a loving husband and father (if a tad overprotective), and is a benevolent Reasonable Authority Figure. He also believes in giving the righteous and innocent dead their eternal reward, and is dedicated to giving them peace and rest in the afterlife. This is reflected in his domain of Peace, which gives him the power to calm tempers and create peaceful, serene locations that rejuvenate those resting within them.
- Dem Bones: He's described as being the skeleton of a divine Black Swan Siren due to being a Death god. While his wings still appears like it has feathers, they're actually composed of darkness covering the bones.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: Despite being a Death god with flaws of his own, he's generally a benevolent, calm, and reasonable one. That being said, he doesn't like mortals entering his domain of Tuoneighla (though he does make exceptions with those who impress him and leave the dead alone), and he's very overprotective of his children.
- Happily Married: He deeply loves Tuoneightar, his wife and co-ruler of Tuoneighla, and dotes on her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He makes potential suitors for his children complete extremely difficult trials to earn his favor and approval, and even accidentally harming his children will provoke his wrath. He also possesses a cranky temperament and dislikes being disturbed without good reason, which is why his mortal followers worship him in a quiet and reserved manner. Despite his flaws, he's a benevolent, calm, and Reasonable Authority Figure who loves his family and is protective of the dead he rules over.
- The Magnificent: Known as "the King of the Underworld", due to being a co-ruler of a metaphysical plane where both righteous and wicked dead co-exist (though they're noted to be 'out of sync' with each other so that the wicked dead can see yet not interact with their righteous counterparts in any way).
- Wowing Cthulhu: Though in this case, he's the 'Cthulhu'. While he is irritated with mortals who enter Tuoneighla, he allows it if said mortals manage to do so and leave without harming the dead under his rule.
