Hirdic mythology refers to the polytheistic beliefs of the Hirdic people, which developed into the Radic and Riyanic mythologies. Due to the differing cultures of mythology in the two branches and a lack of attested records, not much is known about the exact nature of Hirdic mythology other than that it was polytheistic, though many deities can be ‘reconstructed’ from parallels in Radic and Riyanic mythology. The depictions and corresponding beliefs of parallel deities in their respective mythologies are typically not related, however.
Parallel deities
Certain Radic and Riyanic deities are understood to derive from the same Hirdic deity. Some of these include:
- the goddess of the moon (Radestrian Hjedua, Riyan Hirgo)
- the god/goddess of love (Radestrian Irua, Riyan Rjyga)
- the goddess of time (Radestrian Hreva, Riyan Firga)
Relation to Laefevic mythology
Certain spirits from Laefevic mythology are understood to be parallels of certain Hirdic deities, potentially relics of early Laenkean beliefs. The most apparent example of this is the spirit of judgement and reincarnation Lidow (Laefevian Lidwa), comparable to (and linguistically cognate with) the Radic god of judgement and law Litow (Radestrian Letua).
