This is the mythology of a mountainous region called
Biru. The Biruvians had many deities (though not all were often worshipped), and
myths. Most of their gods were based on Pokemon, with the exception of Geritiz, the
god of hunting.
As we progress through the legends, there will be "historical" and "geographical"
notes shedding light on the Biru region.
And now, onto the gods and goddesses of Biru.
