Chemosh-

Chemosh, lord of undead, was called forth by Takhisis in the Age of Dreams. Takhisis needed a lieutenant to marshal the legions of death. This makes Chemosh a powerful adversary of good, for being able to control the undead is a powerful force.

Gilean-

Gilean is the patriarch of the Neutral gods. He guards the book of all knowledge and true names, the Tobril. Before the creation of the universe the High God wrote the Tobril, but could find a god trusting enough to guard it. Finally, after searching time and space, the High God found Gilean and gave him the Tobril, and Gilean learned how to become a god.

Hiddukel is the god of ill-gotten wealth and deals, and is the patron god of evil businessman and dishonest merchants. Hiddukel also trades living souls.

His most famous deal, was a deal in which led to the Greystone, an artifact that wreaked havoc on Krynn. Anyone tricked into bargaining with Hiddukel, almost always loses their life. Hiddukel directly opposes Shinare and to a less extent, Reorx. Because he is not much of a fighter he fears Reorx and chooses not to risk angering him. He also wants to disrupt international trade and gain a hold on the nations many riches.

High God-

The High God came when all of the world was void and full of chaos. Being all alone the High God wanted to make other, lesser gods. The High God was the one who envisioned Krynn and set the lesser gods to work on it. After the world was completed, the High God grew weary, and withdrew from Krynn, leaving it into the hands of three other gods: Paladine, Takhisis, and Gilean.

It can be seen by people of evil intent. Nuitari founded the Black Robes, perhaps Krynn's most secret and coveted Order. The Black Robes are perhaps the powerfullest order, but black magic comes at a price; though it grants its users incredible power, it also slowly takes control over them. Nuitari observes in wry amusement as those who try to master his art are overcome by its dark power.

A White Robe will choose magic over every aspect of life, death, and afterlife. He works strongly with Lunitari and Nuitari to strength the presence of magic on Krynn.

Takhisis-

Takhisis is the leader of the gods of evil. In the Age of Dreams, Takhisis and Paladine were mates. The two gods were equal and were happy. But when they forged the first dragons, Takhisis grew jealous and wanted the beings for her own. She then corrupted them, her first evil army was born. From that point on, the gods of evil and good have been at war. She then found another mate, Sargonnas, god of fury and vengeance. They then had 2 offspring, Nuitari, and Zeboim. Takhisis lives in the Abyss, always waiting for a chance to come back to Krynn and conquer.

Her unpredictable tempers maker her a dangerous foe and a lethal friend. Zeboim is also god of tempests and weather. Seaman make sacrifices to her to ensure a safe journey, though some manage to avoid her rage, some never make it back to land. Zeboim refuses to cross the path of her mother, Takhisis, but she considers Sargonnas weak and unworthy of her mother's attention. She is also constantly at war with Habbakuk for control over the seas.

Zivilyn-

Zivilyn is the god of all wisdom, he is also the celestial Tree of Life. His actions are always from the heart, because he knows all wisdom much as Gilean knows all knowledge. And this is why Gilean and Zivilyn work closely together. He is the mate of Chislev, this relationship being a perfect marriage between harmony and understanding.
