World of Khaas Gazetteer

Jaiquell - This god has many pseudonyms: "Old Nimblequick", "No-See-Um", "Quickly-Quickly", and "Ticklepurse" to name a few.  His followers are called the Thieves Heart Cult and are draw from everyone though Humans, Amazons, Hobbitts, and Khai-Zirin are common.  His sign is a round happy face, black on one side, white on the other, with a grin missing one tooth and three lone hairs upon the top.   Considered totally "Neutral", this god is the patron of thieves worldwide and a very powerful and overt political force in many nations.  Probably the most popular low-class religion in many nations especially since it is not well organized but ran by many semi-official and wildly varying cells in a haphazard manner.   This decentralization is a key tenet to the religion and part of worshipping Jaiquell is the challenge just to figure out what tenets and truth espoused is the correct one.

Jazanda - Jazanda is the melting pot of the region, inasmuch as her people move with ponderous slowness towards full unity. Jazanda is the northmost of the Motherland City States and often quarrels with Panduria over land disputes.

Jinberyl Macornyn - An adventurer and rogue of women out of Chrysolia.  Not fitting in the society of his homeland, Jinberyl left and made a name for himself as a traveler, warrior, and daring adventurer.  After several trips on the Great Wurm Road, Jinberyl penned a short discourse on his travels that saw fair circulation in Arduin, and surprisingly, his homeland too.

Joej of Viruelandia - A Mark of the House of Fadrik, son in the line of Koes. In this noble line, at least one son or daughter has born the famous blade Do-khadu since the founding of the Viruelandian Empire.

(The) Great Jo'oka - Forgotten demigod from outside the world who had a thriving following in the island kingdoms of the Southern Ocean. A plague of disease and the wrath of another god ended this demigod's following long ago and little beyond rotting forgotten ruins are left to show the grip it once had in the region.

Jothar De Linden - The half-brother of King Elric and one time head of the House of the Rising Sun in Arduin.  Jothar lost all titles and his noble house after he betrayed King Elric and plotted to have him slain and worse.  While his evil acts have overshadowed his early history, at one time he was a hero of the land and well known for many deeds.

Jurakk - One of the old gods.  The Demon Horse is the patron deity of all centaurs and equines and for many of the nomadic horse peoples over the eons.  Only Shadazzrha could ever tame his wild heart and ride him.  Jurakk is described as a coal black horse with a breath of flame and hooves of sparkling silver, whose fiery blue eyes could freeze any adversary into solid ice with but a single glance.  120 feet long (and proportionate), this huge equine’s most notable feature is its total, unremitting hatred of all humanoids (save for Shadazzrha).  It is truly free-spirited and the embodiment of all that is chaotic in the Multiverse.  Many centaur clans still worship the Demon Horse.

Jubales Muou - a Dreamweaver and friend of Mounavernor. Little is know about this enigmatic fellow, other than he seems to have dreamed up his own world and is known to both gods and demons.

Jusef - One of the three rogues whom self referred to themselves as the Hands of Filtēdos.  Who or what Filtēdos is or was is unknown, but anyone with the barest understanding of three could likely guess it was part of some grand joke, jest, or pun pointing at someone.  Kiret, Corelwen, and Jusef were always hatching some kind of scheme and spent the bulk of their lives in pursuit of one grand "quest" or another, seeking out, finding and "borrowing" quite a few things.  In their last cycle of years in Khaas, they did so in the "name of the king of Arduin".  This was something King Elric took in poor jest.  He spoke to them about it, in person…not too long before their disappearance from the scene…hmmm…

Justinorn - This god is also called ‘The Divider’, ‘Dark Judge’, or even ‘Old Split’.  Mainly an eastern religion centered on Ghorfar and the defunct Sarkeshi Empire, it is a dark and foreboding religion heavy on vengeance, retribution, and getting even.  Justinorn’s symbol is a sword crackling with lightning.  Justinorn’s priests all carry the ‘Book of Law’, which provides rules for every activity in life.   They are entrusted with the authority to enforce every detail of the multitude of rules found in this massive tome.  Temples of Justinorn maintain massive torture chamber complexes for ‘enforcing the law’.  Holy days are the fifth and 25th of every month, and on these days ‘offenders’ are given public and private trails to establish their innocence (usually ending in their death).  Humans, Dwarves and Wolflings hearken the most to this deities fold, though for those who see the law as the means to an end and are not above sacrifice and bloodshed typically find Justinorn a fitting and proper god.  Its political power far outweighs its lack of numbers.
