List of deities of Yukacan

The pantheon of Yukacan is rather large, with many tiers of spirits included.

Spirit types

Yukacan recognizes three types of spirit: the living, the material, and the divine. A spirit can be "sealed/hidden" or "visible/unbound"; sometimes, sealed deities are considered a fourth class, the "hidden" spirit. Divine and hidden spirits are classed together as "deities", but Yukacan ascribes similar traits to all spirits; the main difference is in scope.

Living spirits are souls born when a living being is born, material spirits are connected to the land in some way (such as to a home or physical landmark), divine spirits are connected to the building blocks of land or other such concepts, and titanic spirits are deceased or sealed divine spirits. All of the above are seen as indestructible to physical phenomena. For example, when a living being's body dies, its spirit is said not to die, but to ascend to one or another spiritual realm.

Divine spirits are not just divided into "hidden" and "visible", but also are divided into "yukazetta" ("war deities") and "yukahushata" ("peace deities").

Seeing as firstly, there are too many to name in a reasonable timeframe, and secondly, they are typically not translated as "deities", the first two classes will be ignored for the list of deities of Yukacan. For lists of them, check census or geographical data.

Although considered a yukahushata, their extended title is said to have come from the areas they had to conquer to calm the world, and they will continue to fight if needed to protect and guide kanvakind.

	Korakasda 󴀏󴂉	"mother of seas" (obliquely through korong "seafoam")	water, the seas, fish, shells	visible yukahushata	Said to have brought forth the kanva species alongside Arejakar. Her symbol is a nautilus shell.
	Arejakar 󴂿	"father of volcanoes" (obliquely through ari "fire")	fire, volcanoes, magma, rocks	visible yukazetta	Said to have brought forth the kanva species alongside Korakasda. His symbol is obsidian. Owing to being the father of kanvakind, Rauratoshanian death rituals typically involve cremation of the body.
	Nilmiyo and Alerahan 󴃑󴂧󴃇󴂯  󴂡	"blue river", "red sand"	keeper of spirits	visible yukahushata	The first two kanvas, one male and one female, both of whom became "keepers of the abyss".
	Fájibagu 󴁏󴀗	"promise" (from Imperial Karanesa fûgibahr)	tricks, deception, dishonor	visible yukazetta	A war deity in Karanian myth, hence why he is yukazetta. However, in Yukacan, Fájibagu is not so tied to warmongering, and instead is linked to misinformation and deception more generally. In some communities, he is responsible for the delirious visions of sea monsters that Rokaselan sailors commonly tell tales about, but others attribute this to Nuiceta instead.
	Nuiceta 󴃕󴄁󴁇	"reflection"	visions, dreams, and premonitions	visible yukahushata	A favorite to invoke by oracles and mediums. However, Nuiceta has a more mischievous side, and she is said to sometimes give intentionally malicious or misleading visions to scare people. Sometimes, this mischievous side is linked to a separate deity of nightmares, or to Fájibagu.
	Senetovénia 󴁹󴃓󴀣󴁰󴃑	"deliverer of (the) abyss"	reaper of spirits	hidden yukazetta	Apparently a loaned Matelian death deity said to only appear to those who are soon to die, and severs souls from their body by stabbing them with his lance. Involved with Yukacan myths about the end of the world, though his exact role in the end of the world varies.
	Penggawashú 󴀳󴂐	"seven curses"	incantations and magic	visible yukahushata, but often called upon in war anyway	Penggawashú, Waifanze, and Kuvilayu are three deities commonly grouped together under the collective banner of "givers of civilization," imbuing their respective domains of magic, music, and language to the world. The three are historically connected to Mars, Venus, and the moon respectively.
	Waifanze 󴀀󴂃	"fairy of flow"	song, music, dance	visible yukahushata
	Kuvilayu 󴀍󴁭󴂭	"rabbit's foot"	knowledge and language	visible yukahushata
	Ampáya  or Nakântai 󴈋󴀀	"marigold" / "one's own heart"	love, romance, the home/hearth	visible yukahushata	According to ancient Nentan myth, was a flower - generally a marigold - that spontaneously became a kawil. Can change their sexual presentation at will. Was loaned into the Karanian pantheon, where they were considered as female and she was written to have a lust for godhood to attempt to vilify her. Unfortunately, Yukacan is more keen on reincarnation than Karanian religion is, so this was imported wholesale, unironically, to teach a lesson about what does warrant ascension.
	Nahotayu  or Kitasehol 	"summer winds"	heat, summer, sunshine	visible yukazetta	Nahotayu and Rafitayu represent the southern and northern winds respectively. Given Rauratoshan's northerly latitude on Spectradom, south winds bring heat to Rauratoshan, and north winds bring cold to Rauratoshan. The others are named by analogy, with spring assumed to be west as it blows life to the world, and autumn assumed to be east because it blows life away. Nahotayu and Rafitayu represent war. It is said that the seasons of summer and winter used to be adjacent, causing turmoil and harsh weather that severely impacted the first peoples. Eventually, Leshnet, the god of the sun, forced the two to come to a truce. In the source world of Rauratoshan, King Airith I (who in Nguhcraft was replaced by Nozomi) notably used the Ruviyatang to manifest illusions of Nahotayu and Rafitayu, manufacturing divine consent for his plan to lock down the Great Kingdom of Fitárvi - these two are arguably the most prominent major deities in Rauratoshan. Dinatayu and Volatayu represent the harvest. While it is local spirits that are said to influence the harvest most directly, without Dinatayu and Volatayu, there would be no harvest, so fall harvest festivals often revere them to celebrate good harvests. After all, people may be traveling from places with different local spirits, but Dinatayu and Volatayu exist everywhere.
