Patron of Desire, Greed, and Enchantment

To deal with Groi, the ancients said, Is a choice one cannot choose-- Either that most precious thou may lose, Else a most precious thing gain to use.

He is considered an old god, not necessarily part of the Brilliant Cosmenia but also not an enemy of it. In the ancient pantheon, Ussyx governed over the realms of Constellations, Dreams, and Divination.

Groi is the goddess of desire and, by extension, greed. Despite these often being seen as negative traits, she is also revered by many for her power over runes and enchantments, and serves as the patron goddess of the Goblins and their kin. She is considered an old god, not necessarily part of the Brilliant Cosmenia but also not known to be an enemy of it. She is seen either as a crow who wears a necklace of pearl and silver or a Goblin woman clothed entirely in jewelry. It is said by some that to deal with Groi is to loose that which is most precious and by others that dealings with Groi will lead to gaining something precious.

Groi is said to have gifted five Stones of Power to people she believed worthy thousands of years ago. It is said that those who were given these gifts rose to power and wealth of unimaginable magnitude but that soon afterwards all feel to ruin.

Worship

A thousand years before the Great War, a group of treasure-hunters began to build temples to Groi, in the hopes of incurring her favor and discovering the locations of the missing Stones of Power. They filled each temple with the treasures they had thus far discovered during their lives, and installed dragons to guard each. The dragons let none approach the temples unless they could bring with them a treasure that was deemed worthy of the temple's collection.
