Neutrality - the adhesive force of the universe. Neutrality keeps Good and Evil in check and promotes free will. The seven Gods of Neutrality preside over the neutral affairs of Krynn and act as a buffer to keep the warring gods of Good and Evil from destroying creation.
Gilian, Neutrality
Avatars: Gilean takes the form of a book-toting scholar of middle age, intent on a particular topic and absent-minded about everything else. This male or female avatar may appear as a human, elf, dwarf, or kender. Although apparently self-absorbed, Gilean slyly tests the preconceptions of folk he encounters. Those who learn from such tests gain a bit of secret knowledge or an answer to a troubling question. Before creation, the High God wrote the Tobril - the book of all knowledge and true names - to lay down the designs of the universe. But none among the gods he made was trustworthy enough to guard the Tobril. So the High God found Gilean, a scribe so scrupulous as to have never penned an error. The High God brought Gilean back to the dawn of creation and entrusted him with the Tobril, saying: "Read those passages you may. Their knowledge will make you a god equal to the others. But guard this knowledge, for on the day another reads of it, you shall surely die." Gilean, patriarch of the Neutral gods, has guarded the Tobril, the book of all knowledge and true names ever since. His constellation keeps those of Paladine and Takhisis in check, guarding the night sky and the balance between Good and Evil.

Lunitari, Veiled Maiden
Avatars: Lunitari usually takes the form of a beautiful, red-haired human woman clad in red robes. She has a cunning and capricious smile. Occasionally, Lunitari cloaks her avatar in a powerful illusion, of anything from a draconian to a gnome. Lunitari carries ruby red darts as her weapon of last resort. Lunitari, goddess of Neutral magic and illusions, was born of Gilean and an unknown mother (some suggest she sprang full-grown from her father's thoughts). She founded the wizardry Order of the Red Robes to promote Neutral magic. . Lunitari and Solinari have long been friends and work well together. Like the other gods of magic, Lunitari chooses to remain close to Krynn to govern her order of mages. Lunitari is a vivacious young woman with a mischievous streak. She delights in all magic and illusions, but loves Neutral spell casting most of all. Most of Krynn's mages embrace her order because it allows them to practice magic without the moral shackles.

Influence over: Neutral magic, illusionist magic
Constellation: no star formation - the red moon Lunitari, whose waxing and waning influences the powers of red-robed mages

Sirrion, Flowing Flame
Avatars: Sirrion prefers to appear in fire and auguries of smoke or ash. When he does take an avatar form, Sirrion is a tall man with flaming hair, beard, and eyebrows. His robe periodically changes color the way flames do. In battle, he wields a two-handed flame tongue sword that no mortal can touch. Sirrion, god of creative flame and natural power, sculpts fire into beautiful forms. He controls every flame, from the blazing sun to the low-burning wick, channeling and filtering the feral power into useful forms. But Sirrion is by no means tame: he sometimes sparks forest fires to clear old and rotten trees and allow young forest to grow; he also burns children who play with a candle flame, teaching them to respect fire. And though he desires to make fire useful, he wishes even more to make it beautiful. Sirrion's companion is Shinare, goddess of wealth and commerce. They quarrel because Sirrion is temperamental and artistic while Shinare is practical and opportunistic.

Reorx, The Forge
Avatars: Reorx takes the form of a powerful dwarven warrior, magical hammer always in hand. Beneath his deeply-tanned skin rest massive muscles. His long beard contains numerous braids and is the blue-gray of tempered steel. Reorx carries a unique dwarven throwing hammer, and wears a beautiful breastplate of adamantine. Dwarves see the avatar as the perfect warrior in all aspects. The dwarves of Ansalon consider Reorx - god of manufacture, technology, and metallurgy - to be the greatest of gods. Humans see Reorx merely as the rotund helper of Kiri-Jolith. Reorx tamed chaos to forge the world. His second greatest creation, the Greystone of Gargath, led to the emergence of dwarves, gnomes, and kender. Many consider the forge god father of these races.

Chislev, the Beast
Avatars: Chislev usually appears as a beautiful human or elven woman. In either form, her hair glows like golden sunlight, and her clothes appear to be made from living plants. She carries a living wooden staff. On occasions when she does not wish to speak with anyone, she appears as a unicorn. Chislev is nature incarnate. According to legend, the seasons change with the moods of her heart: her fear brings the fall, her despair the winter, her hope the springtime, and her joy the summer. As well as the worship of mortals, Chislev receives the praise of every beast of the field; every blade of grass turns toward her as toward the sun. She is served by the master spirits of each creature of Krynn, who animate wooden statues of their kind.

Zivilyn, Tree of Life
Avatars: Zivilyn assumes many different forms. Some have seen him as an old, balding man with a long beard. Though sighted, his eyes appear as twin windows looking out into space. Persons who gaze into those eyes learn their future, including the circumstances of their death. Others report Zivilyn as a prophetic child with black skin, white hair, and eyes of quicksilver. Recently, several scholars have even proposed that the ageless Astinus of Palanthas is a branch of Zivilyn. After all, Zivilyn may maintain several avatars at one time, and Astinus may be one of them. In whatever form, Zivilyn wields a simple wooden cane that obeys any command it is given. Zivilyn, god of all wisdom, is the celestial Tree of Life. His branches and roots extend into all times and places. Much as Gilean holds the knowledge of the universe, Zivilyn holds its wisdom. He acts not according to the dictates of his mind, but according to those of his heart. Because wisdom is incomplete without knowledge and knowledge is incomplete without wisdom, Zivilyn and Gilean work closely together. Zivilyn is the companion of Chislev; most mortals view this relationship as a perfect marriage.

Shinare, Winged Victory
Avatars: Shinare most often assumes the guise of a rich, portly matron or merchant. She wears expensive clothing and jewelry, and a belt of finest silver encircles her waist. When appearing to the dwarves, she takes the form of a male dwarven merchant, decked in rich clothing that drips with gems and precious metals. Because dwarves so espouse her philosophies, she acquiesces to their stubborn insistence that she is male. Mortal gender should not stand in the way of progress. Shinare - goddess of wealth, industry, and commerce - has many dwarven worshipers, for they appreciate her love of wealth and industry. She also finds many followers among merchants, mercenaries, and profit-minded adventurers of other races. And all folk consider her the champion of freedom and self-destiny. Shinare cannot tolerate laziness. She ascribes poverty to stupidity or sloth. In her eyes, the idle and unproductive are slowly dying. Shinare's companion is Sirrion, god of creative fire. Their opposite temperaments clash, but they stay together.
