Four Gods

Overview
The Other People worship a group of deities called the Four Gods. They are new deities, meaning that they are not attested to in folklore or history. Technically, they are 'revealed' gods. Since they do not have a historical record, information about them comes from their worshipers. This is why personal experience and interaction is highly valued in the Otherfaith. The Four Gods are the Clarene, Ophelia, Laetha, Dierne, Laethelia, Ophelene, Darren, and Liathane. They are called the 'Four Gods' after the first four gods to reveal themselves (Clarene Ophelia Laetha Dierne). the Laethelia, Ophelene, Darren, and Liathane are syncretic deities. Because of the theology in the Otherfaith, it is always possible that new gods may be revealed or deified.

The gods' names are often (not always) preceded with ‘the’, implying that the name is also a title or that they are  the supreme possessor of that name.

The most common pronouns used when referring to the Four Gods are 'she/her/hers', but a few gods are referred to with other pronouns. Each gods' gender is more deeply explored in their individual articles.

Order of Gods
Gods in the Otherfaith are ordered by when they were deified. Currently, there are eight gods beginning with the Clarene. The People do not worship the Clarene's mother, though her mother is implied to be a god. The order of the gods also affects the Litany of Four Gods.
