Hello everyone.
Since the Phobos mythology is expanding I thought I do a guide to some of the Phobos gods and goddess. I will do the same to monsters and other key elements to the mythology. If you have any questions about the deities please don't hesitate a leave a review or send a PM and I'll be happy to answer.
Enjoy :)
A Guide to the Phobos' Pantheon

Domain: The Moon, Silverm, The Night, Wolves
Wife of Ghrian and mother of the seasons. She is depicted with long black hair, pale skin and where's a dress of silver. She is stern, emotionless and gentle as the night sky.

She doesn't have a good relationship with her daughter 'Geamhradh'.
Name: Mì-fhortanach
Domain: Fortune (Good and Bad)
A pixie-like deity. She hides in the branches of trees, under rocks, holes in the ground, anywhere where she could witness Phobos not following the Clans values.

Sprung into existence when the Gear Fears wrote the first story, she is the personification of the Phobos' teachings. She is depicted short blond hair, fair skin, and always carrying a book.
