Deities

The pantheon of Avropa is roughly divided into the Prime Deities (who for the most part battled the Primordials and aided in the Founding), the Betrayer Gods (who embraced the chaotic destruction of the Primordials and battled the Prime Deities in the Calamity), and multiple lesser powers (who rose up in the vacuum left by the withdrawal of the true deities following the Divergence).
