what if besides their actual element, each deity also represented another aspect? i imagine the windsinger would represent luck?

The Eleven and their spheres of influence

Earthshaker: Security, constancy, home and history

• Dragons will often send prayers to the Earthshaker in tumultuous or chaotic times, so that they might have stability.

Flamecaller: Energy, inner strength, passion

• Older wyrms might send prayers to the Flamecaller to regain some of their old sprightly affects. Dragons may also pray to her in times of personal crisis that they might have the strength to get through it.

Windsinger: Luck and commerce, fair travels, beginnings

• Well known as the god of merchants, the Windsinger accepts prayers for good luck and wealth, as well as easy travels for wanders like himself, and for new beginnings.

Tidelord: Good fortune, destiny, crossroads

• Though his penchant for prophecy is well known, the Tidelord hears prayers of good fortune in the future, pleas for knowledge of destiny and fate, and oversees crossroads – the joining and union of separate paths. Widely accepted that this refers to Guardians and Charges, many also consider it to be the joining of souls in love.

Icewarden: Protection, safety, justice

• Perhaps taking on these attributes based on the Fortress of Ends, prayers of safety and protection make their way to the Icewarden’s ears. His other sphere of influence is justice – but not necessarily Law.

Lightweaver: Art, law, truth and time

• Artists consider the Lightweaver their patron. She is also related to written laws and uncovering truths, as well as having a strong connection to time passed and times coming.

Shadowbinder: Dreams, charm, ghosts and spectres

• The Shadowbinder’s influence over dreams is not necessarily only hers – many of the deities have been known to appear to their Children in dreams – but normal dreams, and by extension nightmares, are known to originate with her. Those seeking to be persuasive or charming might also pray to her. She also tends to the spirits of the deceased, who are drawn to the Forum.

Stormcatcher: Change, adaptability, productivity and labor

• Like the Windsinger, the Stormcatcher’s main sphere of influence – labor and work – is well known. His other attributes are lesser known, but can be seen in the land that his Children inhabit. The shifting sands and ceaseless lightning requires ones to be adaptive and open to change.

Gladekeeper: Harvests and agriculture, growth, parenthood

• Farmers and cultivators of the land – as well as artisans whose trades are food-related – look to the Gladekeeper for boons in their harvests and the land. She also represents personal growth and parenting – being generally seen as a nurturing, kindly deity.

Plaguebringer: Health and physical strength, conquest, perseverance

• Though it might seem counterintuitive to pray to a deity of decay for good health, this very decay cleanses – the pus in the wound that absorbs foul humors in the body. It is well known that Plaguelings value physical prowess and conquest over ones foes – but it must be honorable conquest, free from trickery or deceit. When faced with difficult situations, dragons may send a prayer to the Plaguebringer for the ability to persevere.

Arcanist: Knowledge, the cosmos, curiosity and youth

• His dominion over magick and arcane energies is well known, but the pursuit of knowledge and the power of the cosmos are also within the Arcanist’s realm of influence. As the youngest deity, he is also the patron of hatchlings and serves to foster their curiosity.
