Minor Deities

The world of Ohura has a great list of pantheons, each filled with numerous deities that are seen as guardians of their respective fields. Minor Deities are brought into existence through various means. An extraordinarily powerful being can become one through a process called 'deification', a Major Deity can create or give birth to one, or a Minor Deity is simply spawned into existence.

### List of Minor Deities

A list of all Minor Deities can be found below, along with a short description on their fields of expertise.

#### **Pantheon of Magic**

The eight different schools of magic originated from the eight different Elemental Lords. However, ever since the creation of the magic schools, these lords have disdained from upkeeping the schools. Instead, a series of eight humanoids originating from Halbot were granted divine powers by the Elemental Lords, and granted the title of deity of their respective house. These lesser deities are tasked with regulating their school of magic, checking on new spells created and keeping powerful students in check. All of the deities of magic reside together with one another in a small-sized pantheon located in a demiplane closeby the plane of Lei. The pantheon is designed in such a way that it is immune to the chaotic energy of Lei, though still closeby enough to directly interact with the elements and magics.

##### **Abbifell, goddess of Abjuration**

The first follower of the Elemental Lord of Wind, Abbifell was granted the status of Minor Deity after proving her devotion to her patron. Abbifell is perpetually surrounded by a warm, yellow-tinted glow.

##### **Coslaht, god of Conjuration**

Coslaht the halfling devoted his life to taking care of the woodland creatures that lived around him. During his travels, Coslaht found the Elemental Lord of Earth in the Roots, where he conversed with the lord for more than a decade, after which Coslaht was permitted to live within the pantheon, where he could create more animalistic companions.

##### **Dillgeit, goddess of Divination**

This drow elf ventured out from the Underdark to explore different planes of existence. While traveling along the Trestakelrin, Dillgeit fell off the planar road and plummeted into an endless void, further down than even the void. There, she met the Elemental Lord of Darkness, and the two became amicable companions over the years.

##### **Entrist, god of Enchantment**

A more tragic case, Entrist was an elf known for their beauty among the worlds. Throughout the years, their mind became so degraded from lustful attempts at enchantment that the elf turned into a cloudy airhead. Out of sympathy and sorrow, the Elemental Lord of the Skies bestowed Entrist with the task of protecting the magic school of enchantment.

##### **Evelon, goddess of Evocation**

During her travels through the Underdark, Evelon stumbled upon the tomb of the Elemental Lord of Lightning. After forcing it open, she was fried to the spot by a blast of lightning, but ultimately survived. Purely by accident, Evelon was hence turned into a Minor Deity, protecting the magic school of evocation.

##### **Ilnard, god of Illusions**

Originating from the Underdark, Ilnard was a deep gnome who studied the art of deception and illusion. Through this career path, Ilnard ended up in the plane of Lei, and confronted the Elemental Lord of Fire in his Palace of Shapes. There, Ilnard played a game of deceit and gambling with the deity, and eventually won, being granted the position of Minor Deity as his prize.

##### **Neforat, god of Necromancy**

What once was a curious and adventurous elf, Neforat dabbled in the arts of alchemy, searching for ingredients throughout the different planes of existence. And even though they eventually petrified themselves, Neforat did not stop scheming and acting out their research on the different effects of ingredients on potions. The last of their adventures came to a halt in the Depths, were Neforat underwent the process of deification and permanently turned into a giant tree, immune to the effects of the Elemental Lord of Poison's gasses and dubbed as the god of Necromancy.

##### **Trex, god of Transmutation**

Being the only non-*humanoid* of the pantheon of magic, Trex is an earth elemental whose avarice stopped at nothing. Trex dabbled in the arts of transmutation to create a temple filled with hoards of treasures. After inviting the Elemental Lord of Water over to gloat, Trex became a Minor Deity after impressing the luxurious god.

#### **Pantheon of Time**

When Ohura was created, everything was placed inside of a timeless rift, where nothing would age or grow. Beings did not die, but also did not develop past their infant stage. Over a timeless period of time, of which the length is impossible to be determined, the Major Deity recognizes as Dtern formed and coalesced out of the indescribable concept of "timelessness". Afterward, time came to be, and everything was able to grow, develop, and ultimately die. However— because of its being made from timelessness— Dtern was stuck in the same timeless rift that Ohura once found itself in, and was unable to act out on anything. As such, the pantheon of time formed itself inside of Dtern's head, following its beliefs and desires.

##### **Daleris, god of Sleep and Dreams**

While not a deity that is directly involved with the concept of time, Daleris was formed out of the dreams which Dtern experiences in his state of being stuck in time. The concept of "sleeping" is closely related to a sort of malformed time. Inside one's dreams, time seems to fluctuate, going faster or slower depending on random variables.

##### **Dtellii, goddess of the Future**

Dtellii came to be as Dtern was wishing for a better future— one where it would not be imprisoned in time itself. As such, the Minor Deity of the Future is hopeful and naive, willing to trust most creatures on the hopes of a promising end.
