Faskal's Gods

Gods: The gods of Faskal are not like you typical gods, they earn the title of god because of them just being the greatest being in their respected field. Usually they were all created by the first/most powerful/forgotten god Archi. Then the gods wanted to prove their strength to each other so they made the rest of the being on Faskal.
After the creation of the first lesser gods (Ouranos = sky, Neo = water, Vracho = rock) two more lesser gods of equal strength were born into the world (Fos = light & Skotadi = Dark). Then almost in a battle of showboatness and pride they would pair up and with their combined powers create the other, more openly worshiped, gods of Faskal.
Ouranos paired with Neo created Fysi.
Vracho paired with Fos created Kataskevi / Vracho paired with Skotadi created Ktinodis
Fos and Vracho created Prosarmogi
Fysi paired with Prosarmogi created Kairos
Prosarmogi paired with Ktinodis created Ploutos
And lastly, and most confusingly to the other god, Telos the god of the End seemed to just come from nowhere but his power was never questioned by the others.
