Lore

Gods:

Nokt - A goddess said to be an enormous black owl, whose silver face is the moon. People who align themselves with the moon live a primarily nocturnal life, and believe that they receive Nokt's blessings when they ride her children, the Stryx, through the night sky for her delight. They attribute their dragons' night-time prowess to these blessings. Followers of Nokt are called Noktus.

Daius - God of the Sun, a phoenix-like eagle whose shape can not be discerned for all his brightness. People who align with the sun live a diurnal life, and believe Daius' blessings are the strongest. He is the bringer of light, giving warmth and beauty, aiding his children and subjects with the hunt. In daylight, Stryx and rider both have clear vision, and are easily able to survey their territories and fend off enemies. Followers of Daius are called Daiuses. 

Galyx - God of the stars and universe, Galyx is an enormous moth, said to have eyes on his wings, which see all that happens in the universe. Galyx is referred to both as male and female interchangeably. It is an entity, beyond gender or description, and is the all-seeing architect of everything. Whether Noktus or Daiuses, all people on Wyvera submit themselves to the power and authority of Galyx. They do, however, differ on the nature of this god, some believing it to be chaotic and wrathful in its methods of creation, while others believe it to be a peaceful and loving guardian of all creation. Actual moths are said to be harbinger's of both good and bad omens from Galyx, depending on when and where one sees them appear.

Lore:

Nokt and Daius are husband and wife, and both are charged with the protection of the planet, their child. They are the grandparents of all other life which their child gave birth to in order to please them. But as the number of their grandchildren swelled, it occurred to the pair that guardians were needed to watch over this life, and so they made the Riders, who were smart enough to be gifted with language. Some believe this dominion over the planet means they are meant to control and own all they survey, as the inheritors. Others hold to the belief that we are merely caretakers, with no right to own what they don't see as being theirs; these are usually nomadic people who make a point never to stay in one place too long, so that they never affect one area of the planet too greatly when hunting and foraging.

It is believed that Riders were formed out of starlight and moonlight, and when they die, they return to the universe to form new stars and moons, transcending to far-away new worlds, where they may come to be made into new forms of life. However, those who reject or displease the gods are said to become part of the Void, the great blackness swallowing up the universe, with no chance of reincarnation.
