The fourth and last class of deities in the Arcadian Pantheon has been revealed: the Personal Gods. Created by the World Gods, they are Jarn (God of Smithing), Esses (Goddess of Youth), Drylaf (Goddess of the Animals), Vegg (God of Security), Theth (God of Technology), Tulsey (Goddess of Home), Ak Chawu (God of Trade), and Tays (Goddess of Agriculture).
