===the ''Dim'' and the ''Rham''=== | ===the ''Dim'' and the ''Rham''=== | ||
Aeranid religion distinguished broadly between two sets of gods; the Dim, or earthly gods ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|dīment}}}}''), and the Rham, or celestial gods ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|rhament}}}}''). Of the two, the Dim were much more frequently referred to and called upon in daily life and worship. They are associated mostly with nature, natural phenomena, places, animals, and peoples. | Aeranid religion distinguished broadly between two sets of gods; the Dim, or earthly gods ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|dīment}}}}''), and the Rham, or celestial gods ([[Aeranir]]: ''{{Smallcaps|{{term|rhament}}}}'').

The Rham however represented more abstract, cosmic forces, and were generally associated with heavenly bodies. They were understood to dwell in the stars, and were mostly occupied with the battle against Ixor. |
