Artist's description from DA:

Minor gods called The Idols.

Discord- Chaos
The loveable hodge-podge beast of choas who live within the public eye of the mortals. He contains the power to wreak havoc on Gaia, distorting the mentality of mortals and toying with the laws of physics. He is also the only idol who lives on the mortal plane.

Stultus the Trickster — Luck and Misfortune
A devious adolescent entity who decides whom receives luck and who falls flat in misfortune. Often times he'll ploy at mortals, promising them good fortune if they pass his test or answer his riddle. However, his trials are very difficult, if not impossible and instead the mortals will end up with no luck at all or bad luck. He is a young adult satyr whose pelt is divided in half, dark on one side, white on the other.

Ceres/Harvest- Agriculture and Livestock, Feasts
A kindly spirit who blesses farmers and shepherds with bountiful harvests and healthy crop and livestock. She is often depicted as either a motherly cow, sow, or ewe, laden with gold bands and earrings.
Besa- Fertility, Pregnancy, and Conception, Mother of Pura
A large feline like entity, she is the herald of the process of creating mortal life. She has but one immortal child, Pura.

Krono/Time/Fate- the continuation of time
A large, antlered snake-like idol whose constant slithering commands the sands of time. He may or may not have a crush on the daughter of Besa, the goddess of youth and beauty, Pura.

Ganymede- Protection, the guardian
A formidable warrior, the protector of mortals against immortal or ethereal threats.

Sombra- Fear
The banished embodiment of fear who once sought to enslave the mortals, beginning with the Crystal Empire. With his third eye (just below his horn) He can see into the mind and soul of any mortal and will bring for the visage of their worst fears.

Disciphilo- the master teacher/ Knowledge/ Logic
The wisest of any being on Gaia. Scholars and Kings once sought out her knowledge. If one were to find her she may answer your question, if it is for the purpose of the benefit of mortal-kind alike. But only one question.

Pura- Age, Youth, Natural Time and Beauty
The daughter of Besa and the goddess of Youth and Beauty, she is constantly existing in a phoenix like cycle. She will grow old and weak approximately every 100 years or so and will disapate into a cloud of dust, revealing a new egg from which she will hatch.

There's also a version of them with their immortal markings here -→ The idols 2

These Idols are worshipped in a religion called Vis.

Vis (/vee’s/)

Gaia's version of "paganism", more or less. This religion does not have as large of a following anymore. Vis is a loose term for those who believe in many gods and multiple idols all at once. However of the ones they do chose, very very rarely are the gods/idols they choose the Elementals or Mother Gaia. Also, Vises (/vee’sees/) may pick and choose which to worship with no standard form of worship or consequence for selecting only a few. Vis has shaman as opposed to priests/priestesses.

Zecora was considered Vis, although it had another name in Zebrica.
