Markoth is often depicted as a parent in the clouds, often with a crown or other symbol of rule. He is known to be the creator of the lands and the founding father of the court. Hence the naming of the lands after him.

==  Appearance & Depiction == Markoth is depicted as being the most relaxed, forward-thinking, calculated and wise of the Court of Four. Using his experience and power to nurture those in need, granting growth to the things that are in need, and to ensure the wilderness is in abundance.

Markoth is also thought to have a connection with a tree in the city of New Versano. A tree in which fruit grows all seasons, and it stays forever green. This tree has been burnt, cut down, and dug up during attacks on the city, but it has grown back, each time, stronger than before.

Markoth is named after is believed creator. It's borders are only as far as those in it wish to venture, for who knows what awaits in the unseen wilderness. Harsh mountains stretch across the Northernmost portion of the world, with a seas to the south and islands such as The Isles of Andevin and Kirisaka lie further south. Some have chosen to venture beyond the boundaries of the documented world. But most who venture are lost to stories and gossip.

Interaction
The Gods are never seen, but they are ever-present. They watch the people of Markoth and hear their calls when they are summoned by ritual. Each of the court has its own ritual, in which a sacrifice must be made.

Markoth demands the simple sacrifice of silence, holding of breath during ritual, and the cessation of all noise. The ritual of Markoth is the most commonly performed ritual in the court. It's also customary to scent the room prior to worship by burning a large bowl of dried green leaves, and then pouring water over them to produce smoke, thus, showing that the three other gods of the Court of Four, always end with Markoth.
