Divine Warriors

The Divine Warriors were a group of six powerful warriors consisting of Irene, Enki, Esmund, Shad, Menphia and Kul'Zak, each of them were worshiped as gods within the Minecraft Diaries universe.

History
About 4,000 years ago. The Shadow Lord, amassing great power arrived along with his army of Shadow Knights into the overworld to take over. The lords of various villages opposed to the Shadow Lord's rule engaged in a full scale war against the Shadow Knights that lasted throughout the centuries, being referred to as The War of Magi. Sometime around 900 years ago, a group of six individuals defeated the Shadow Lord, sealing him back in the Nether as well as sealing his essence in various items. This deed led to the people referring them as gods, worshiped within various regions. It is implied by Sasha that other then this event, the Divine Warriors didn't interact with the others that often. The items, called relics, contained pieces of the raw neutral power of the king. The warriors also likely could have imbued their own powers into the relics. Currently mentioned relics are: The Cerberus Staff, The Red Talisman, The Moonlight Ward, The Wyvern Lair Sword, and the Irene Nitor relic.

Irene the Matron
Region: Ru'aun Region

Relic: Irene's Relic (Nitor from Thaumcraft)

Descendants(s): Levin, and Levin's father - the previous lord of Phoenix Drop. It is believed that Aphmau is possibly, if not likely, a descendant, since it is believed by many that she would have been unable to absorb Irene's Relic if she had no genetic connection to her, but it is still being researched, and it is yet to confirmed however,other evidence stating that she is a descendant as she is able to commune with wyverns. In Episode 46 of Season Two ("A Divine Friend"), the witch Hyria has a flashback to a time when she knew Lady Irene, which is triggered when she makes eye contact with Aphmau, which has lead to speculation that Aphmau is perhaps not a descendant of Irene, but actually Irene herself, since it is known that Aphmau lost her memory, and has no recollection of who she was before the events of the first episode of the first season.

Legacy
It is apparent that the Divine Warriors might have been with each other, and that most have Descendants. Irene's love life has been studied, and it is revealed that she was in a relationship with a fellow divine warrior, but it is unknown who because the tapestry that featured them has been torn up. It has also been revealed that Enki had been her good friend, and had feelings for her that he couldn't bring himself to reveal. They probably had children, whose descendants might still be living today; for example, Levin, his father and probably Aphmau are descendants of Irene though it is speculated that she is Irene herself. Travis is also theorized to be a descendant of Enki along with his mother. People who followed the DWs are still around; for example, the Enki Warriors tribe. However the other divine warriors and their descendents are unknown

Trivia

 * Irene is a feminine name of Greek origin, meaning "Peace", and is derived from εἰρήνη — the Greek for "peace", which was later adapted into the name Eirene, which thus became Irene. Eirene was the Greek goddess of peace. Irene was also the name of an 8th-century Byzantine empress, as well as the name of several saints.
 * The name Enki is derived from Sumerian en-ki, meaning, "lord of the earth". Enki, called Ea by the Babylonians, was the name of the Sumerian god of water and wisdom, and was also the name of the Mesopotamian god of crafts, knowledge, and consciousness.
 * Menphia could come from the word Memphis, an ancient Egyptian city. A triad of gods protected the city. Ptah, the creator and god of craftsmen. Sekhmet, the lion goddess of war, love, and protection, believed to have slaughtered thousands before being roofied and transformed into the tamer Hathor, the cow goddess. Finally Nefertem, the god of fertility, growth, and healing.
 * The name Shad is of English origin, and means "Battle Warrior". According to the Bible, Shad was the name of one of three young men who were sentenced to death by being burnt in a furnace, and survived by putting his faith in God, who he believed would keep him safe from his unfair execution.
 * Esmund, a variation of the name Edmund, is an English name meaning "Gracious Protection", which is fitting in that he is referred to as Esmund the Protector. The variation of the name, Edmund, is the name of several martyrs in British history. A martyr is someone who suffers persecution or death because they have refused to advocate a belief or cause of either a religious or secular nature as demanded by an external party. This refusal to comply with the presented demands results in the punishment or execution of the martyr by the oppressor. Most martyrs are considered holy or are respected by their followers, becoming symbols of exceptional leadership and heroism in the face of difficult circumstances.
 * Though the name Kul'Zak has no known meaning, the name Zak in an American forename meaning "Laughter". A name that resembles Kul'Zak, Kozak, is a surname used in Ukrainian, Polish, Sorbian, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian cultures, and is an ethnic name for a Cossack, a member of a people descended from a group of runaway serfs who set up a semi-independent military republic in Ukraine in the 15th and 16th centuries.
