Chapter 3: Tier 6 Beings
Tier 6 Beings are the children of Angels and Demons. These are subdivided by those children exclusively of angels and demons and those children who were sired byand angel or demon and some other being. The first group are known as the Lords of Creation because they brought about the creation of the Mortal Realm and therefore the mortal races. The second group are known as the Primordials, beings of dark power who would go on to create the monstrous races of the realms.
Lords of Creation
Starlight- better known by his Human Language name Kujenga- is the oldest of the Lords of Creation. Kujenga is one of four children of Time and Cosmos. This Lord of Creation formed the foundational frame of the Mortal Realm- building galaxies- which would then be built further upon by the other Lords of Creation. Kujenga occasionally visits the realm, taking the form of a human man clad in white linen with starlight appearing from his eyes and hands. Kujenga bears the Staff of Creation- handed down from his grandfather Place- which contains the power to create realms. One temple is dedicated to Kujenga and is located in the town of Tumbo la Nyoka in West-Central Aliaanza'nchi.

Peponi bears the Necklace of Lost Souls- a piece of jewelry which can entrap phantasmal beings. One temple is dedicated to Peponi and is located in the town of Pwani ya Mtumwa in Western Aliaanza'nchi.
Life and Death are twin children of Time and Cosmos better known by their Human Language name the Maisha na Baada. These two always travel together and represent meaning and purpose in the mortal realm.

Division- Sanweiyiti to the Elves- is the final child of Art and Messenger. Sanweiyiti represents the diversity of the realms. Sanweiyiti often works against the forces of his oldest brother in an attempt to maintain objectivity among target parties. Sanweiyiti is responsible for the division of cultures- driving individualism, evolution, and originality of thought. While Sanweiyiti is often opposed to the conformism of his eldest brother, the two occasionally cooperate (usually at the request of the middle sibling) when establishing ceasefires and peace treaties among warring parties as a means of establishing lasting peace and the preservation of cultures. Sanweiyiti often visits the Mortal Realm in the form of an elven man in rain gear who once bore the Stone of Creation- a powerful rock located in Southwest Si which formed the foundation of the Mortal Realm. Sanweiyiti's true temple may only be reached through meditation's entrance into the Astral Plain through a ritual requiring six ingredients (milk, water, flower petals, fresh leaves and rice) arrayed among a character in a twelve-point star.

Amak once bore the Dimensional Mirror- which now is located in Ilti'ah- that gives its user the ability to see into any realm. There are no temples to Amak, but instead; each Dwarven home contains a small statue of Amak through which dwarves may pray to the goddess.

But Kalona is a powerful user of arcana instead, and often acts as the resident warlock of the Lords of Creation- acting in rare part to protect the Mortal Beings. Kalona does not have a favorite form in which he manifests. Instead, he will often take the disguise of lesser beings to preserve the secrecy of his identity- as he is the scapegoat for many character's self-created misfortune. Kalona is however the only being trusted by his grandfather Place with a sacred necklace which allows beings from the Void to travel into the Mortal Realm. Kalona's sole temple is located in Western Ulinawi in the desert town of Owenusu.
