	Vosk, The Voice Beneath, was rarely described at all in the old stories what survives paints him as dark almost black. stone grey ,small eyed and blind or near enough, dwelling in caves less known but is often one of the main dragons spoken about by kobold deepfolk member so of the religion who calls themselves as being created him his vision.

	Driisar was described across every surviving fragment of the old stories as white but not like bone or snow but something closer to a pearl, or light, a white that seemed to hold a faint shimmer of every other color without ever settling into one. her scales are said to have been small and tightly overlapping near her face and throat, growing larger and more square like down her spine, catching light like the underside of a wave. Driisar is remembered as unsettlingly gentle in shape. Her head is narrow and small in proportion the rest of her body more bird than reptile with a delicate curve to the brow that storytellers describe as giving her a permanently soft and almost sorrowful expression. Her eyes are the one place color is allowed to break through the white a bright blue, almost like diamonds. her wings are just continuations of her scaled body smooth and armoured like the rest of her it catches the same shimmering but not quite as white as her scales.the motion in which they move is is in a slow wide unhurried ~~beats~~ more like something breathing than something flying. She's never described as radiant or blinding the way a lesser storyteller might reach for with a "divine white dragon." Instead the emphasis is always on softness an approachable, almost maternal presence, which is why "The Mother" became her more common name among followers even more than "Driisar" itself in casual worship.

	The Speaking: The speaking is a yearly event where followers of Driisar in a communal ~~worship~~ congregation style, where believers publicly declare their purpose or life's work or even something minor done to appease Driisar aloud to be "witnessed."

	The Rite of Naming: Before any hunt, battle, forging, or birth, a follower speaks their intention aloud to Driisar by name, not as a request for blessing, but as a declaration. The Gods are gone but the act of naming one's purpose out loud is believed to be the closest thing left to being seen by them.

	The Last Naming: Since the soul is believed to wither rather than return to Driisar, funerals are not about comforting the dead its about recognising there purpose. During the funeral friends, family loved ones all mention the deeds they had done in the name of Driisar and they are forever remembered by a tree being planted on there place of death.
