There are three gods which take the most active role in shaping mortal life: Aweiton, Thunar, and Vraia. These three entities, or some believe aspects of the same entity, are worshipped across the continent. Some believe them to be the true rulers of the celestial spheres, while others consider them agents of even higher gods. The Treteon are, in any case, very powerful and widely worshipped. They even have various divine agents and intermediaries who contact mortals on behalf of their deities, and these emissaries sometimes gain followings of their own. If the Seteon are the gods of nature, then the Treteon are the gods of the city, and by extension of civilization itself. Just as the nature deities care for various aspects of the world, the lawful deities care for various aspects of mortal civilization, and the mortals themselves. The Treteon are the divine guardians of culture and society, and love nothing more than to look down upon thriving communities. To them, a great city is the shining jewel of the Arian landscape. They encourage peaceful and honorable relations both within and among cities, but they do not teach or condone pacifism. They teach instead that war should be a holy ritual performed only between armed combatants on the field of battle, following accepted rules of engagement, and that changes in the political order that follow the ancient martial customs are to be considered legitimate. Generals who win dishonorably are considered illegitimate victors, and must suffer the disdain of the gods at best, and a revolution by their new subjects at worst. The execution of city populations, the reckless demolishing of buildings, and the destruction of crops are considered great sins. They teach that the landscape surrounding a city is to be pacified and turned to the use and pleasure of the city, but never destroyed or depleted. This is their primary point of conflict with the gods of the Seteon, who tend to like the landscape just as it is. Since the Treteon consider the Seteon their fellow citizens in their divine community (albeit of lesser rank), they counsel respect for natural places, and encourage city-dwellers to improve the land they work as much as they can before they begin to clear more. As the Treteon cares for urban communities before individuals, it is common for loggers, miners, and other rural workers to offer sacrifices and prayers to the relevant deities of the Seteon before they begin their work. The nature gods and their emissaries do not hesitate to spill blood of a few mortals in defense of their favored places, while the city gods rarely intervene on behalf of individuals when the community as a whole faces no danger.
