- [Pegāna Mung](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/peg_na_mung.md): Mung moves through Pegāna as the god men fear and worship because they fear him, his sign a sentence no mortal can appeal. Where prophets fatten on gifts and tell the people what they wish to hear, Mung comes unbidden — 
- [Māna-Yood-Sushāī](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/mana_yood_sushai.md): Māna-Yood-Sushāī made the gods, grew drowsy, and fell asleep, leaving Skarl to drum forever so he will not stir. The gods play with worlds and men only because he rests, and they dread his laughter more than his wrath. H
- [Sish](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/sish.md): Sish governs the passing of ages in Pegāna, the force that wears down worlds and gods alike even as they play their games.

- [Kib](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/kib.md): Kib grew weary of the gods' first games and raised his hand to cover Earth with beasts, then remade them into Men — a creation the other gods feared would endanger their Secret. He was the first to speak with his mouth l
- [Kabok](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/kabok.md): Kabok told men that Mung withheld or granted death by his advice, and he took their gifts for the telling.

- [Limpang-Tung](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/limpang_tung.md): Limpang-Tung gives men pleasure because he thinks even a god owes them that much, painting the sky so they may rejoice and painting it again so they will not be sad. He carves organ pipes from mountains and stands unseen
- [Imbaun](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/imbaun.md): Imbaun rises to the highest prophetic seat in Aradec, praying for a people unaware that the Hall of Night holds only darkness and a secret writ in an unknown tongue. He carries a private grief the crowd cannot share: he 
- [Skarl](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/skarl.md): Skarl is the tireless hinge between creation and oblivion: his drumming is the only thing keeping Māna-Yood-Sushāī asleep, and some say the worlds and suns are merely echoes of his beat. His arm sometimes grows weary, ye
- [Slid](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/slid.md): Slid speaks in the prophetic register that shapes Pegāna's cosmology, describing the fountain that curtains the resting-place of Māna-Yood-Sushāī and the still blue pool where every soul may see its life and sins. His wo
- [Dorozhand](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/dorozhand.md): Dorozhand comes to Imbaun in mortal guise, his eyes shining blue enough to light the whole temple, and commands the prophet with a look rather than a word to walk the paths of Sish into the future. He is the driver of me
- [Roon](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/roon.md): Roon is no hearth-god to be worshipped by the fire; his incense is camp smoke, his song is the sound of going, and his temples stand beyond the farthest hills in the lands behind the East. He sets no boundary at mountain

- [Yūn-Ilāra](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gods_of_peg_na_se/characters/yun_ilara.md): Yūn-Ilāra rules sea and storm from a tower by the shore of the world, and his long defiance of Mung, the god of Death, becomes the measure of his pride. As Sish grinds the hours away, whiteness takes his hair and ivy his
