Eighty-Nine Gods

The eighty-nine gods are the divine beings that created the world and its life, with the exception of the God of Evil. Despite presiding over the world, they very rarely interfere. Each are named after their aspects and in total had seventy-eight children, who filled the world with many things.

Gods can range from more humane to inhumane. As nature gods are fundamentally different, they are inhumane gods.

Background
According to what Willow Magnus discovered, the eighty-nine gods aren't from their governed world. Their original world was too cramped, containing eight million gods, and the eighty-nine gods simply left to find a new place of residence.

Shortly after finding a suitable plane of existence with no living thing, they started shaping a new world. The God of Earth created the land out of his own body, and other gods filled his body with their own aspects: The God of Oceans filled the seas, the God of the Sun created the sun, the God of the Silver Moon created the moon, and so on. After the world was shaped, the lesser gods went to live on the Great Moon with the God of the Silver Moon.

The God of War only assisted other gods, claiming that he would bestow his blessing once they were done with their part. When the gods exhausted their creative energies, the God of War rose in revolt. Some say he lost his mind, while others say he fell to temptation, but only the gods know the truth. Thus the God of War, now the God of Evil, was so strong and the other gods so weak that they were no match for him. However, with the combined power of the gods, the God of Evil was subdued and his remains were scattered across the known world. They sealed them, but were unable to completely seal away the pieces of his body. Those pieces went on to create Fiends, which still exist to this day. A dubious piece of information says that one of the gods summoned his godly weapon from his home world and wielded it during the war, creating the first of the Divine Weapons.

Known gods
Note: Many of the gods' genders are unknown, as the term god carries no specific gender in Japanese. In addition, the originals of the gods' names mean they can be translated as both Sun God and God of the Sun, to give an example.
