!The Fallen Lovers
A husband-and-wife pair of deities (plus one other) who, well, don\\\'t seem to do anything productive for the world. They, collectively, embody the worst aspects of human nature, making them feared rather than revered by (most) mortals and disliked by their fellow deities, especially the Divine Light. Their divine name comes from the fact that The Lord of Seduction and The Lady of Betrayal fell out of grace with the rest of the pantheon because The Lord of Seduction chose to remain with his wife and be dragged down by her erratic behavior. However, they serve an essential role in the pantheon, that of directing the negative emotions of mortals in a controlled environment, and thus are kept close, less their influences be turned in the service of the Covenant of Discord.
!![[spoiler:Kameril Veldarine]], The Lord of Seduction
The god of lust and seduction, of liars, cheats, and thieves. Of the Fallen Lovers, he is the one seen most favorably by the general public, as he influences amorous relationships (but not romantic love, his mother\\\'s domain), business dealings (bringing him into both conflict and concord with his uncle, The Absolute Scale), and many other interactions between two individuals. However, he is just as often worshipped as a warding measure by those seeking not to get the short end of those interactions.
Tropes associated with The Lord of Seduction:
* Affably Evil: As opposed to his wife, whose affability could drop at a moment\\\'s notice, The Lord of Seduction is a genuinely pleasant person who enjoys conversation, fine food and drink, and using his divine influence to force women to give their bodies to him regardless of their original desires. And he really \\\'\\\'loves\\\'\\\' his family...
* Even the Guys and Lesbians Want Him: The Lord of Seduction\\\'s natural charisma, combined with his supernatural charisma, means that, regardless of a person\\\'s tastes in men -- or whether they even \\\'\\\'have\\\'\\\' a taste in men -- they\\\'ll be attracted to him. Of course, it\\\'s easier to inspire faith (and make money off the [[strike:pornography]] \\\"prayer books\\\") if you cater to their actual preferences, so...
** Gender Bender: ...\\\"The Lady of Seduction\\\" was introduced to the world. Since \\\"her\\\" debut, \\\"she\\\" has fallen into the three Laws of Gender Bending:
*** First Law Of Gender Bending: The first \\\"Lady of Seduction\\\" [[strike:porno mag]] \\\"prayer book\\\" was an instant success, outselling any to-date and remaining one of the church\\\'s best-sellers -- including earning the status of being one of the only \\\"prayer books\\\" to be reprinted and go into multiple editions. The pressure to replicate this success has led to \\\"The Lady of Seduction\\\" making an appearance far more often than The Lord of Seduction originally would have liked...
*** Second Law Of Gender Bending: ...however, he has gotten used to his alter-ego since then. It\\\'s almost to the point where he wears either form interchangably (although it will likely never cross into true Second Law territory) and the experience has brought out an Anything That Moves attitude in \\\'\\\'both\\\'\\\' forms. That being said...
*** Third Law Of Gender Bending: ...on the benign side, \\\"The Lady of Seduction\\\" likes to dress appropriately for the circumstances, and look good doing it. On the darker side, despite the \\\"Seduction\\\" part of \\\"her\\\" title, \\\"she\\\" easily falls into the submissive role of the sexual encounter, \\\"her\\\" nymphomania (in the true clinical sense) causing \\\"her\\\" to beg \\\"her\\\" partner desperately if they tease \\\"her\\\" during the encounter. Whether this is the result of latent chauvanism, \\\"her\\\" inability to deal with the combination of unfamiliar hormones and massive arousal from \\\"her\\\" portfolio, or an indication of \\\"her\\\" true nature even as a male is unknown.
:::The Lady of Betrayal also has a Gender Bender version she has revealed in \\\"prayer books\\\", but the \\\"The Lord of Betrayal\\\" has only appeared once with \\\"his\\\" counterpart, and is usually used to satisfy other fantasies.:
* Ironic Hell: As the god of lust (among other things), The Lord of Seduction has all the world\\\'s women (and men, if he should so choose) at his proverbial fingertips... and a wife who would sooner kill them than let them get close to him.
** Rape Is Okay If Its Divine On Mortal: Averted, largely because of the above. The Lord of Seduction is explicitly the god you\\\'d think would be guilty of the trope (the other gods are either happily married/partnered or celibate/asexual), but his wife\\\'s jealousy generally keeps him from even bothering with mortals.
* The Little Detecto: Every deity has the ability to sense things related to their portfolio. However, The Lord of Seduction gets a special note because of the \\\'\\\'side-effect\\\'\\\' of his ability to sense lust and carnal relations: he can sense The Beast. Given that The Beast is almost constantly copulating with something, it\\\'s no effort for The Lord of Seduction to scry on her at a moment\\\'s notice.
* The Pornomancer
* Upper Class Wit: It\\\'s been centuries since he\\\'s qualified for the \\\"eternal bachelor\\\" part, but at times he wishes he still did...
* Villainous Incest: Both of his half-sisters, his (acknowledged) daughter, and, if he were to have his way, his full sister and his mother. The Lord of Seduction likes to keep it in the family...
!![[spoiler:Reien Veldarine nee Nevarii]], The Lady of Betrayal
The goddess of betrayal and vengeance, of traitors, rapists, and oath-breakers. The closest the pantheon gets to one of the members of the Covenant of Discord, The Lady of Betrayal represents the darkest human emotions, the ones that drive people to murder and ruin those around them. As such, she is almost universally feared among mortals, and all worship towards her is based around getting her to leave them alone. This is an important aspect of her religion, as most are aware of what happens to people who don\\\'t worship her properly.
Tropes associated with The Lady of Betrayal:
* Abusive Mother
* [[spoiler:The Chessmaster: Zerex may be responsible for blowing up the world, Allarine may be responsible for surpressing everyone\\\'s memories of the blown-up world, but Reien was in the exact position to take advantage of both the moment they happened. For better or worse, the pantheon exists as it does now because of Reien\\\'s schemes.]]
* Clingy Jealous Girl
* Complete Monster: See The Doll Princess, below.
* Horny Devil
* The Mind Is A Plaything Of The Body / Immortal Immaturity: [[spoiler:Reien is older than Phenwyr, technically. However, being \\\"reborn\\\" as Allarine\\\'s twin sister has caused her to gradually lose all her mental attachments to her previous life -- complete with abandoning her old name, which she had for thousands of years.]] Regardless, she\\\'s always acted pretty childish, given what her age is \\\'\\\'supposed\\\'\\\' to be, and occasionally even shifts in an (even younger) form to match.
* Properly Paranoid: She might come off as a Clingy Jealous Girl who is obsessed with the concept of all the world\\\'s women wanting her husband, but, when her husband is the divine embodiment of lust, she\\\'s probably right. Strangely enough, this doesn\\\'t apply to her own twin sister.
* Yandere: All \\\"yan\\\", all the time (except toward her husband and her twin sister). Do \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' worship The Lord of Seduction without paying equal respect to her, \\\'\\\'especially\\\'\\\' if you\\\'re a woman. You\\\'ll regret it...
!![[spoiler:Freya Rendaris]], The Steel Falcon
The goddess of tyranny and warfare, known among her followers as \\\"The Lady of War\\\". Her presence in the Fallen Lovers is like that of the dragon gods in the Celestial Bureaucracy: she\\\'s not actually a member and has little-to-no association with the others, but her attitude and purpose are close enough to be lumped in with them. It\\\'s that attitude -- the over-aggressive, superior stance that comes out of her portfolio -- that earns her the dislike of the rest of the pantheon, and she makes no secret of the fact that she hates the rest of the pantheon.
Tropes associated with The Steel Falcon:
* Blood Knight
* Dysfunctional Family: Given that The Steel Falcon owes her godhood to The Lady of Betrayal, you might attribute a mother-daughter relationship to them, but her hatred of the pantheon extends \\\'\\\'especially\\\'\\\' her \\\"mother\\\". [[spoiler:Doesn\\\'t help matters that The Lady of Betrayal is holding some decidedly mortifying pictures of her over her head.]]
* Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today: Inverted: The Steel Falcon and her followers like to stress how \\\"virginal\\\" she is, especially compared to her faction-mates. [[spoiler:Obviously, she\\\'s not, and The Lady of Betrayal has the proof.]]
* My Friends And Zoidberg: \\\"The Fallen Lovers... and Steel Falcon.\\\" Given her attitude toward them, she\\\'d probably be more offended by being included in the designation.
* Pet The Dog: She\\\'s overbearing, hyper-aggressive, and would sooner see the world crushed under her heel. But she sure has a soft spot for The Doll Princess.

* ProperlyParanoid: She might come off as a ClingyJealousGirl who is obsessed with the concept of all the world\\\'s women wanting her husband, but, when her husband is the divine embodiment of lust, she\\\'s probably right. Strangely enough, [[SelectiveObliviousness this doesn\\\'t apply to her own twin sister]].
* {{Yandere}}: All \\\"yan\\\", all the time (except toward her husband and her twin sister). Do \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' worship The Lord of Seduction without paying equal respect to her, \\\'\\\'especially\\\'\\\' if you\\\'re a woman. [[FateWorseThanDeath You\\\'ll regret it...]]
!![[spoiler:Freya Rendaris]], The Steel Falcon
The goddess of tyranny and warfare, known among her followers as [[LadyOfWar \\\"The Lady of War\\\"]]. Her presence in the Fallen Lovers is like that of the dragon gods in the Celestial Bureaucracy: she\\\'s not actually a member and has little-to-no association with the others, but her attitude and purpose are close enough to be lumped in with them. It\\\'s that attitude -- the over-aggressive, superior stance that comes out of her portfolio -- that earns her the dislike of the rest of the pantheon, and she makes no secret of the fact that she hates the rest of the pantheon.
Tropes associated with The Steel Falcon:
* BloodKnight
* DysfunctionalFamily: Given that The Steel Falcon owes her godhood to The Lady of Betrayal, you might attribute a mother-daughter relationship to them, but her hatred of the pantheon extends \\\'\\\'especially\\\'\\\' her \\\"mother\\\". [[spoiler:Doesn\\\'t help matters that The Lady of Betrayal [[{{blackmail}} is holding some]] [[ButYouScrewOneGoat decidedly mortifying pictures of her]] [[{{blackmail}} over her head]].]]
* HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]: The Steel Falcon and her followers like to stress how [[NatureAdoresAVirgin \\\"virginal\\\"]] she is, especially compared to [[ReallyGetsAround her faction-mates]]. [[spoiler:Obviously, [[ButYouScrewOneGoat she\\\'s not]], and The Lady of Betrayal [[{{blackmail}} has the proof]].]]
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: \\\"The Fallen Lovers... and Steel Falcon.\\\" Given her attitude toward them, [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne she\\\'d probably be more offended by being included in the designation]].
* PetTheDog: She\\\'s overbearing, hyper-aggressive, and would sooner see the world crushed under her heel. But she sure has a soft spot for [[TheWoobie The Doll Princess]].

!The Fallen Lovers
A husband-and-wife pair of deities ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg plus one other]]) who, well, don\\\'t seem to [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything do anything productive for the world]]. They, collectively, embody the worst aspects of human nature, making them feared rather than revered by (most) mortals and disliked by their fellow deities, especially the Divine Light. Their divine name comes from the fact that The Lord of Seduction and The Lady of Betrayal fell out of grace with the rest of the pantheon because The Lord of Seduction chose to remain with his wife and be dragged down by her [[{{Yandere}} erratic behavior]]. However, they serve an essential role in the pantheon, that of directing the negative emotions of mortals in a controlled environment, and thus are kept close, less their influences be turned in the service of the Covenant of Discord.
