{{here}} refers to the polytheistic beliefs of the Hirdic people, which developed into the {{w|Radic mythology|Radic}} and {{w|Riyanic mythology|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. | {{here}} refers to the polytheistic beliefs of the Hirdic people, which developed into the {{w|Radic mythology|Radic}} and {{w|Riyanic mythology|Riyanic}} mythologies.

== | == 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 ({{m+|rad|Hjedua}}, {{m+|ryn|Hirgo}}) | |||
* the god/goddess of love ({{m+|rad|Irua}}, {{m+|ryn|Rjyga}}) | |||
* the goddess of time ({{m+|rad|Hreva}}, {{m+|ryn|Firga}}) | |||
== Relation to Laefevic mythology == | |||
Certain {{w|spirit}}s from {{w|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 {{w|Lidow}} ({{m+|lfv|Lidwa}}), comparable to the Radic god of judgement and law {{w|Litow}} ({{m+|rad|Letua}}). | Certain {{w|spirit}}s from {{w|Laefevic mythology}} are understood to be parallels of certain Hirdic deities, potentially relics of early Laenkean beliefs.
