Lord of the Erudition. Known as Nous, the god of intellect by the Genius Society and Intelligentsia Guild.
None can comprehend Nous' intentions, location, or normal state. People merely spread word of a magnificent machine intelligence that has been upgraded into an Aeon, calculating the essence of the universe and its ultimate solution. Before the answer is disclosed, they will summon all of the greatest minds in the universe together to examine and discuss results.
I myself have had the honor to witness the divine corpus of Nous, and thus may be able to add a few more comments here.
Contrary to standard thinking, Nous is not a god that provides solutions. On the contrary, all they offer is an infinite number of questions. Many people spend their whole lives walking through a fog of ignorance, eager for knowledge but unable to find a proper approach. They are hindered by things such as "precedents" and "knowledge." Visiting Nous is enough to open the eyes of even the most ignorant people, to see the problem. But the answer may only be found by oneself.
The dauntless scholars of the Divination Commission can follow the example of great scholars from the Intelligentsia Guild by stepping on "the road to opening one's eyes." If fate is predestined, the counsel of Nous must be sought.
Lord of the Trailblaze. Known by the Nameless as Akivili, god of roaming.
Only several unverifiable legends about the Cloudstrider remain. For the Xianzhou people, the word "legend" connotes images of an unfathomably ancient time. Since the first epoch of the Amber Era, Akivili has sped through the wild worlds of the galaxy. It's precisely because of the Nameless' and their existence that those isolated worlds scattered throughout the dark galaxy are able to know each other.
The Cloudstrider's most important miracles have been creating the "chromatic echelon" and "star rail." Legend has it that the chromatic echelon is a key component of laying the star rail network, and the star rail itself can connect distant galaxies by means of a mysterious mechanism. Be it the Interastral Peace Corporation or the Xianzhou, the safe routes we all rely upon today all follow remnants of these star tracks. If Akivili had never fallen, it's hard to imagine what contact between the planets would be like today.
Based on the Xianzhou Yuque's latest intel, the Cloudstrider's chromatic echelon has reappeared after thousands of years. Abominations run rampant, and the Legion ravages the people... In these troubled times, what can the Nameless bring to the galaxy? I can scarcely imagine.
Lord of the Elation. Known by the Masked Fools and Mourning Actors as Aha, god of tricksters.
If we lay out a spectrum from "Mortal" to "Aeon" based on an Aeon's modus operandi, then Aha is an Aeon who is closer to the mortal end of things. They play with the love, hate, joy, and sorrow of intelligent creatures to subvert and shift fate — as their followers put it, they enjoy this and even manifest in human form sometimes to catalyze the change.
It would be wrong to assume that the Joyseeker is a jester among the Aeons. Yes, they can't really perform earth-shattering miracles like the Reignbow Arbiter or the Firmamend Arbiter. However, by using their invisible hand, they can imperceptibly influence the movements of all living things. This demonstrates an extraordinary and delicate manipulation of reality.
For example, during Emperor Rubert's campaign, Aha's believers kicked off another riot after the Philosopher Union was reduced to the domain of inorganic life, infecting the conqueror's computer systems with another troll virus called the "Philosopher's Poison" and overthrowing the local robot army.
Similar miracles abound, and tiny ripples eventually become a tsunami that can shake the whole world — this is Aha's style.
Lord of the Beauty. Known as Idrila, god of beauty by the Knights of Beauty and the Mirror Holders. Known on some worlds as Anne Duray.
So far, the Knights of Beauty have been disbanded, leaving the Mirror Holders to wander the stars, searching for their holy relics. All of this serves as proof that they have fallen. But my documents exchanged with the Intelligentsia Guild mention: If the relics of the Wondergazer can be found intact, their beautiful countenance will be able to reappear.
According to ancient myth, Idrila once attributed the Beauty of all the starzones to themselves, showing heroes, villains, and mortals the meaning and aesthetics contained within the cosmic landscape, and driving them to complete astonishing (but often devastating) achievements for Idrila's own pleasure. This myth may reveal the true meaning behind the Beauty's path: The integration of consciousness, insight, and values.
