The Almodites of ancient times had two deities: Ulasiga, and Osda.

Ulasiga ruled over all that was dark and evil: Chaos. His name literally translates into dark.

Osda was the exact opposite of Ulasiga, and ruled over all that was morally right: Order. Her name literally translates into good.

The ancient Almodites believed that Ulasiga and Osda mated, to spawn the human race. And that each balanced the other out. The ancient Almodites believed that the Earth was neutral. And although the two deities were lovers, they were also bitter enemies, each trying to turn humanity over onto their opposite sides.

In addition, there were many sub-deities, creating a form of pantheon.

The deities and sub-deities were/are:

Ulasiga: Chaos (male)
Osda: Order (female)
Ditlihi: War (male)
Tohidu: Peace (female)
Ganodu: Life (male)
Oyohusa: Death (female)
Owaduhi: Beauty (female)
Dideyohvsgi: Intelligence (male)

Ulasiga and Osda were mates.
Ditlihi and Tohidu were mates.
Ganodu and Oyohusa were mates.
Owaduhi and Dideyohvsgi were mates.

As you can see, each deity/sub-deity married his/her counterpart. This signifies in the Almodite world that opposites attract, and that everything has a opposite side to it. That there are two sides to every coin.

The current believers of this faith commonly refer to themselves as Xilarites, and tend to worship the darker gods such as Ulasiga, Ditlihi, and Oyohusa.
