Arcanium Pantheon

The pantheon of Arcanium consists of many gods of whom most are forgotten. The average citizen of Arcanium today, with expection of the northern tribes and the people of Issjord, believes that there is only one divine being, Sha. This lack of knowledge of these citizens can be mostly attributed to the War of the Zealots that went on from 615 E.G. to 616 E.G. in the Acir kingdom.

In old history books and parchments hidden away in the old libraries of Tal-Acir, Eresath and other cities, the truth still stands the test of time.

## The Twenty Divine

Before the War of the Zealots, the Twenty Divine were worshipped rather equally. They consist of gods and goddesses who are seen as the creators of Arcanium and each had their specific task.

### The Creators

Three of these twenty are seen as the initial creators of the world. They are Reaer, Rhunas and Yona. They are the ones who also created the other divine and are responsible for the birth of men.

### The Gods of the Seas

Three of these gods the creators brought to life became the Gods of the Seas. They are Werdur, Navaris and Belous and were worshipped by sailors and fishermen around the realm.

### The River Gods

Two gods were created to become the River Gods, them being Ehror and Tielia. They worked together with Meion to form sources for all the rivers and let them flow towards the sea.

### The Gods of War

Three gods were chosen to become the personification of men on earth. As these gods embodied the human nature more and more, they began to shift towards the innate desire of humanity for war and dominance and thus became the Gods of War. These gods are Greone, Udes and Iphine

### Other Gods

* Meion, Goddess of the Mountains.
* Imtris, Goddess of Fertility
* Weton, God of the Hunt.
* Isditt, God of the Sky and bringer of winds.
* Sha, Goddess of Nature and bringer of the Talents. The most worshipped out of all the divines.

* Immus the Moon god
* Aevum the Time Keeper. He who keeps record of everything that has happened and everything that will be.

## The Northern Gods

The tribes of the north, having been sceluded from the rest of the realm for a very long time, have their own gods who they believe to be the only gods. Their pantheon consists of ten gods that have no specific function. Each one of the ten tribes worships one of these gods.

* Qhyias
* Ytos
* Methar
* Qhamtris
* Shazan
* Dhanasis
* Qhoona
* Qhreana
* Thaais
* Hetrasil

## The Ice Gods

Far in the northwest, on the snow-covered islands of Issjord, the Ice Gods are worshipped. Similar to the northern tribes, the people of Issjord have been isolated from the rest of the realm for quiet some time, although trade between the city of Osrark and the kingdoms is not a rare thing. Their pantheon consists of four Ice Gods who each reside on their own island.

* Auti, who resides on the main island in the mountains west of the city of Osrark.
* Styrmir. He resides on the northern island and is rumoured to guard the passage between Eriksfell and Hraun. He taunts travellers with riddles and freezes them to death if they fail to answer correctly.
* Amundi. He is said to reside underneath the city of Helfell, where he is in a deep sleep. According to myth, his awakening will herald the end of the world.
* Hedin, who lives on the smallest of the Issjord islands and doesn't allow anyone to set foot on his island. Does who do are never seen again.
