Éleos (Theosi goddess)

Éleos is the Theosi goddess of mercy. She sits beside her husband, Dikastís, the Judge, in the Theosi realm of the Underworld called Kólasi. As Dikastís judges the souls of the recently dead to determine if they will suffer the torments of Kólasi or be permitted to enter one of the more pleasant realms of the Afterlife, she intercedes when she can, seeking mercy for those who deserve it.

Their three children also have their own roles in the Kólasi. Fylakí, the Warden, is the jailer for the prison of souls, the God who oversees the torments inflicted on evil-doers who are punished until they are allowed to return to the earth to “try again” in another life. Thánatos the Undying is the god of the Undead: the animated bodies of the dead, like zombies and skeletons; the troubled spirits who have not passed over, like ghosts and poltergeists; and those like vampires and liches who have achieved everlasting life through undying death. And Prodosía is the goddess of the creatures of the Underdark, ruling the intelligent and unintelligent creatures who dwell beneath the surface: orcs and ogres and carrion crawlers, among others.
