A TL;DR list of gods, supernatural creatures, etc. mentioned in the book! Hopefully the explanations will be clear enough in the book, but since some descriptions may be spread out through its entirety, I thought a list would be quite useful! If there's anything else you guys would like on here, please let me know.
**I will update as the book is written. These are not exact definitions as some details are altered for creative purposes, so I would recommend doing your own further research if you want to get the full history!
