In some cases, some Demons are also referred to as gods, but are still put into the "Demonic" category.

Skedda Proper
The gods of the Skedda Theocracy are worshipped all over by various races, but mostly by Humans and Elves. Skedda proper is usually meant to describe the god, not including Heaven's Fist.

Adessa - Goddess of Life and Death, The Black Tree Mother
Adessa is considered one of the most important divnities of Skedda, and of humans in general. She is believed to be the first divinity to interact directly with humans and responsible for the large forests that fill Hekea, leading to both calamity and salvation for humans. She is said to breathe life into the living when they are born, and then to consume their souls and bodies when they die.

She often appears as a woman cloaked in a black dress, adorned with vines and branches seemingly growing out of them, with her hair, a dark red.

An extremely rare tree known as the "Black Tree" is associated with her and her personal realm is The Ashland Oasis

Harkwildr - God of Mountainlands, The Stonewarden
Harkwildr very existance is said to be tied to the mountains. The harsh winds that blow upon the mountains are said to be the breath of Harkwildr. For those wishing to survive in the harsh climates of the mountains, prayers to Harkwildr are often said. It is said that those blessed by Harkwildr can walk through the mountains as if it were a summer meadow, with the beasts of the mountains bowing to them in reverence.

He appears always in a torrent of air and snow, with only the slight visage of a man in fur clothing with rock like skin seen through the confusion.

He is associated with all mountainous areas and his personal realm is known as The Endless Expanse
