Gods

Comprehensive list of all gods within the world:

Note, all gods lack specified domains and favored weapons; due to the fact that there is high diversity in worship and following, a divine class may select a god's domain and favored weapon, being that it is thematically appropriate for both the player's character background and upbringing in religious studies\*.

\*this meaning that if you are raised within a city that treats it's gods with a sense of ferocity, it may be more apt to chose a greataxe, while a smaller farming town may tend towards light simpler weapons, being that they have no use for odd specializations in high damage martial weapons.

## Omen

### Drasil, spirit of the trees

* Depicted as a Great Caretaker, Drasil is the overseer of all plant life. Many Ghoran regard him as a figure of fertility and longevity, striving to live a long and fruitful life, just as the trees around them do. Rangers and watchers of the forest will often take years to mold trees into his symbol as a shrine to him. Very few temples of Drasil are known at this point, but a majority that do exist seem to blend into the forests which surround them.

### Elan, the eternal flame

* Elan is praised by many of the scorched Ghoran, despite fire being the reason they were cast out from their society. The eternal flame brings forth glory and passion above all else, even when there is none to be found. Many scorched Ghoran gravitate towards him, having a sense of newfound beauty in what they've become, rather than anguish or regret.

### Mos’aw, the frost of the mountain

* As homage to the dwarves of Anachain, Mos'aw is depicted as a powerful dwarf, clad in ornate silver armor. Mos'aw is a strong, grounded god, thought to be the cold fist of the law. Many politicians and lawyers look to him in times of need to protect the innocent and act with a level head.

### Ebb, of the sky

* Just as the wind rushes over the plains, so does Ebb. Ebb represents the free spirited ways of the wind. Many bards and performers take to Ebb for her belief that all life should move as the wind does, without a care and not in one place for too long. She is often depicted as an Ancient Primal Cloud Dragon, entwined with Flow, of the river. When visiting a temple of Ebb, it is not uncommon for it to be a joint temple of Ebb and Flow.

### Flow, of the river

* Just as the force of a river rushes over a waterfall, so does Flow. Flow represents the force and fluidity of water. It is often said that monks take to Flow's ideals when honing their skills; nimble enough to flow around the rocks in your way, yet strong enough to uproot the mightiest oak. He is often depicted as an Ancient River Dragon, entwined with Ebb, of the sky. When visiting a temple of Flow, it is not uncommon for it to be a joint temple of Ebb and Flow.

### Oasa, the fallen records

* The fallen records, the keeper, the tome of knowledge; Oasa goes by many names. Oasa was born into existence by an immense loss of information, being often seen as an all knowing being from the age of the cataclysm. Most scholars call to Oasa in their search for higher knowledge of the world, and it is common to see a temple of Oasa be transformed into a large library in Its name.

### Ris, the deceiver

* Prized by many underhanded individuals, Ris strives to serve only himself; those who follow him act just the same. Ris is often depicted as a pure human, as to elude to the deceptive human race which brought upon the cataclysm with their selfish deeds. many rogues idolize his work, and hone their skills in the name of Ris. Very few temples of Ris exist, but those who do tend to gather a crowd of individualistic and strong willed people.

### Velun, order of the mind

* Velun is widely regarded as the left side brain of the gods, ruling heavily in the domain of law. Small towns will often create shrines to Velun to keep their towns free of corrupt power and unified under a certain cause. Velun is referenced in many texts as a guiding hand for figures of justice, such as paladins.

### The Core

* The ninth god, The Core, takes no single form, but is often depicted as an image of a fluctuating orb of energy. The Core is held as a final form for many practicing artificers and magicians who wish to harness the very essence of their magic. Temples in the name of The Core are largely adorned with magical runes and symbols, and visiting worshipers will often infuse their own runes and symbols into the halls of Its temples.

## Harbinger

### Lyb, the scales of nature

* If there was ever a god closest to the racial alignment of True Neutral, it would be The Scales of Nature. Lyb is without a doubt the essence of balance, being both the overseer of birth and death. Ghoran are often found praising Lyb, appealing to both the arboreal and the myceliods, for their respects of life and death.

### Kelund, the light of the world

* as light bathes the world, so does the word of Kelund. being a popular deity among do-gooders and champions of the people, Kelund wishes for all to spread his word and teach the way of the light. Although many who follow the light of the world are considered good, there have been the occasional evil priests of Kelund, using force and fear to ensure worship rather than good deeds and caring words.

### Uskqua, the shroud of the moon

* Quiet as a passing shadow, Uskqua embodies the idea that not all great deeds must be boisterously proclaimed. Sometimes the greatest actions are those that go unnoticed, and that is the primary teachings in the churches of Uskqua. While high priests of the moon may vary in ambitions, one thing is constant; followers of the moon are incredibly difficult to find, being that they deny all accusations (good or bad) in being a follower of Uskqua.

### Warak, the raging storm

* Depicting power in its rawest form, Warak is the god of strength, courage, and occasionally brashness. One thing is for certain, you can always hear a disciple of the storm before you ever see one. Followers of Warak tend to be the boisterous warriors, the bragging adventurers, and the outspoken nobles of the lands.

### Cymite, the solid earth

* A good defense always trumps the best offense, at least in the teachings of Cymite. Humble, defensive, and level headed are all typically universal traits for a follower of the solid earth. many who find themselves as a champion of the people will call to Cymite in times of unjustness.

### Osor, the fallen man

* Osor is not a god of triumph, nor a well respected one. Being that Osor is a reference to the humans that laid waste to the world of anachain, many followers seem to believe that if they were cast out, they were not in the wrong, but rather that they were forging the path for a new world, using their own ambitions.

### Eln, the besieger

* If there was one to embody sheer strength and power, it would be that of Eln. Many great Ragata build shrines to give them strength in all that they do, and in times of war. outside of the Ragata orcs, there is very little praise in his name. Soleni orcs are often found bashing or shunning the worship of Eln, and it is fairly unheard of to see such in their capital city.

### Ololo, chaos of the mind

* Assumed to be the right side of the brain, Ololo is the opposing force to Velun. Where Velun desires structure in daily life, Ololo followers have a habit of throwing their cares to the wind, only going from one place to the next on a whim.

### The Divided

* The Divided represents the very moment in which the world of Anachain split in two. pulling from the very essence that keeps the world held together, The Divided is the forces of other-worldly magic. Many great practitioners of magic pull strength from his very being, believing that if they cannot find answers in extraplanar studies, then there may be no answer at all.
