Characters' info under the cut

Adelaide Tristé (wiki)

Domains: death / the afterlife

Propaganda:

The god of death was originally her father Tristero, but when her brother Angelo was killed, the throne passed to him, and then when she was killed (by the same woman) she took control. Eventually she creates a permanent afterlife for the dead to pass on to and enters a poly relationship with the woman who killed her. She's a bitch and I love her

Kos Everburning

Domains: Fire, literal and metaphorical - heat, industry and passion.

Propaganda:

One of the few gods who survived the wars with the mortals who invented the Craft and usurped their powers, Kos is the god and ruler of a bustling, lively city-state that stands as a point of contact between the great powers of the world. He cares deeply for his people, and the heat of that devotion lights their darkest hours (via the steam turbines his Priesthood have hooked in to generate electricity from it). An engineer's moment of inspiration, a spark that lights a campfire, and the lust that fuels a one-night stand - any of those could be a blessing of Kos.

Nyame

Domains: She is supposedly the god of interdimensional travel.

Propaganda:

Dude. I love this book so fricking much and Nyame despite not being confirmed real, she really adds such a good level of world building to this world. AUGH im in love.

One of the freshly bound books on Mortimer's work bench contained Resa's drawings of grass fairies, glass men and river nymphs. The images were done by a true master, even though they were very different from those that Balbulus, the famous illuminator, drew for Violante. Nyame like Resa's drawings better. She loved what she drew, while Balbulus always seemed detached from what he depicted. - The Colour of Revenge (Page 23)

how do you pronounce nyame's name? 👀

i always put the focus on the first half of the name, like nYame. but apparently you're supposed to stress the e - nyamE. sounds almost french but still very pretty

In Summary: How Anansi won the World’s Stories

We explore the legend of how Anansi won all the stories of the world from the sky-god Nyame.

Anansi once wished to be the owner of all the world’s stories which, at the time, were in the keeping of Nyame – the sky god. Approaching the god, Anansi requested the stories. Nyame laughed, astounded by the spider’s audacity. He told Anansi that many kings, communities and men had come to Nyame, offering anything he wanted in exchange for the stories, and none had been able to pay the price. Not one to back down from a challenge, Anansi asked what the price was. Nyame informed Anansi that he would only give the stories to someone who could capture the four most dangerous animals in the world:  Onini the Python, the Mmoboro Hornets, Osebo the Leopard, and the Fairy Mmoatia. Anansi refused to back down, and swore that he would fulfil Nyame’s conditions, and win the stories.

Returning home Anansi planned how he would capture the creatures. Depending on the story, either alone or with his wife Aso’s help, Anansi came up with four cunning tricks that he would use.
