Ter Dahr

Ter Dahr (sometimes called Lesser Divines or Min'der by elves) are the most powerful of fiends and shades, said to be created by Vitis and Mortis themselves. Ter Dahr means "child of the divines" in the Ancient tongue. Usually mortals look upon the Ter Dahr as evil or forms punishment, while others uncommonly worship them as dieties. They usually have their own preference of manifestation, whether it be a man, child, animal, or inanimate object. The Ter Dahr created by Vitis are called Baht Shades, while the ones created by Mortis are Baht Fiends. The only exception is Jlahgixiof, who was created by both Vitis and Mortis. Each Baht Shade have their own realm in Janasara, while each Baht Fiend has their own realm in Zamasara.

Baht Shades
These were the sons and daughters of Vitis, created from his own soul. They each have a realm or multiple realms in Janasara. Even though they can manifest as male or female, many mortals refer to them as female. Baht Shades also manifest themselves as some sort of avian creature.

Leohofno
Leohofno is the ruler of Janasara and all the other baht shades and normal shades. His name means "royalty" in Ancient. He is often depicted as a giant feral dragon with angelic wings.

He and Majil were the ones that rallied the others Ter Dahr into rebelling against the Divines. Even though he led the others to their doom, his reign still stays true, as the majority of the shades still looked up to him.

Risihr
Risihr is a diety of protection, selflessness, and all forms of physical defense. His name means "defender" in Ancient. Called the Guardian, Risihr is the protector of Janasara. His mortal depiction is a falcon.

Risihr was the one of the many that stayed at Leohofno's side during the Ahaltin war, as others fled at the sight of Jlahgixiof.

Xollahel is a diety of sport, competition, and a glorious death. His name means "warrior" in Ancient. He is always hosting games for mortals to compete in, whether they want to or not. He is depicted as a raven.
