The Gods

**DERKETO**

Derketo is known as Derketa throughout the rest of Conan’s world. Though she represents slightly different things depending on the region in which she is worshipped, Derketo is typically known as the goddess of fertility, sensuality, and death. Priestesses of Derketo refer to her as the Goddess of Pleasure and the Queen of the Dead and perform sacred obscenities in her name. Outside of the Exiled Lands she is worshipped in Kush, Zembabwei, the Black Kingdoms, Shem, and Stygia. In Shem and Stygia she is the goddess of fertility and lust; in the Black Kingdoms, the Queen of the Dead. Regardless of the region, her followers are known to speak at length about the duality of lust and death.

**JHEBBAL SAG**

Jhebbal Sag is among the oldest gods of the Thurian continent. Worship of him is now relegated to the wilder regions of the world, such as the Black Kingdoms and the Pictish Wilderness, where men and beasts still know his sign and bare memories of the age when they spoke a common tongue. Jhebbal Sag’s physical form is dependent on the area or tribe that worships him, but he is always depicted as bestial

**MITRA**

Considering the lawless and brutal customs of the Exiled Lands, it is perhaps surprising that Mitra is such a widely worshipped deity there. However, when one considers the strength of Mitra’s influence during the Hyborian Age, it stands to reason that so many who find themselves in exile would maintain their fervent belief. This god of contracts, binding word, and opportune meetings is an advantageous god for the more civilized regions of the world. Mitra has a way of instilling law, order, and justice in the major cities where his worship proliferates. Arguably, the Exiled Lands could benefit from these hallmarks of so-called “civilized” nations.

**SET**

Set is a major god revered in many nations and over many ages of the Thurian continent, but the epicenter of worship for the Old Serpent is, without question, Stygia. In the streets of Stygian cities and towns, living people are hurled into mouths of the massive serpents who stalk the streets. Set’s influence is far-reaching, and his followers have amassed into large and ubiquitous cults throughout Stygia and beyond. In the Exiled Lands, promises of power from this ancient deity are tempting, especially to those suffering in their newer, harsher environment.

**YMIR**

Ymir is primarily worshipped in Vanaheim and Asgard, the northernmost lands of the Thurian continent. He is known as the great frost giant, father and king to the fabled monsters who purportedly stalk the northern wastes. His followers typically pay tribute to him by demonstrating battle prowess. One does not find shrines or temples in tribute to Ymir in Vanaheim nor Asgard, but in the Exiled Lands, where tribes are so often associated with a deity or an entire religion, his followers have cause to show their zeal by constructing such idols.(edited)

**YOG**

Yog is known as the Lord of Empty Abodes. His worship comes primarily from the Darfari cannibals of Zamboula, a city predicated on a slave market. Tribes of these “Yoggites” are scattered throughout the desert biome of the Exiled Lands, and all who know of their deeds know to avoid them. It takes little imagination to guess what sorts of rituals Yog, the god of a cannibal cult, elicits.

WHAT OF **CROM**? ...Crom cares not!
