Lumoran Deities

Born of the same time-lost progenitor as Silene Lothe'li'e or Fal'rist and Kal'rist, the Lady, youngest of the four, wept at her progenitor's passing, and her tears became the holy liquid known as serum. Her followers are the most numerous on the continent, both because of their proselytizing and the inherent appeal of a goddess of fertility and growth, but also because of the holy serum, a healing liquid that the church distributes freely to the faithful, and (for a minor fee) the unfaithful alike. The seat of her worship is the Holy City of Benivene, and many pilgrims make their way there for the many celebrations and festivals the fertile land hosts.

**Domains:** Animal (All Subdomains), Charm (All Subdomains), Healing (Restoration), Moon (Darkness Subdomain), Plant (Agriculture 3pp, Growth)

### Bro'kar, the Scion of Victory

**Favored Weapon**: Lance

King of Games, Fist of Man, and the Champion of the Hunt, Bro'kar represents the search for perfection of the self. Honorable and kind, he welcomes any who wish to improve themselves and help others improve in turn. Clerics of Victory find his blessings immense, and many monks appreciate the surpassing of the self his tenets teach. He is by far the most venerated deity in Avarga Töm, but veneration of him continues all over Lumora no matter how saturated by the Church's influence, most notably as part of Etrainian tournament culture.

**Domains:** Glory (All Subdomains), Good (All Subdomains), Liberation (All Subdomains), Strength (All Subdomains), Community (Cooperation, Family, Home), Travel (Exploration), War (Duels).

### Silene Lothe'li'e, the Immortal Elfspring

**Favored Weapon**: Elven Curved Blade

Patron deity of the elves, they originally held the position of God-king until Humans overthrew the elves and Fal’rist usurped the title at the beginning of the Calamity. They're broadly considered to be benevolent only to elves, and her symbol, a long feather, usually from a bird of paradise is often left behind by Lodge assassins and worn by Elvish diplomats trying to provoke a reaction. Loth'li'e's gender is fluid, changing from legend to legend, but they are not a shapeshifter. Rather, due to Elvish being a highly gendered language, it is tradition to identify them with the same terminology used by the current emperor or empress, Silene's most powerful living descendent. The Southern Star, the only star visible during daylight, is said to be them, gazing eternally down at their kingdoms. Where the star is visible, it’s said that land was the elves, and will be again, one day.

**Domains:** Air (All Subdomains), Glory (All Subdomains), Law (All Subdomains), Nobility (All Subdomains), Rune (All Subdomains), War (All Subdomains), Espionage (Knowledge Subdomain), Light (Sun Subdomain), Murder (Death Subdomain), Torture (Destruction Subdomain).

### Braavast, the Great Jeweled Wurm

**Favored Weapon**: Scizore

While the Dwarves have a fairly static and consistent depiction of Braavast as a massive creature that is somewhat reminiscent of a Purple Worm, surface dwellers are more inconsistent. Due to a linguistic quirk of High Elvish, Braavast has been depicted by elven scholars as both a chthonic god of earthquakes similar to the Dwarven depiction, the Jeweled Wurm, as well as a sky deity responsible for the devastating star falls that bring Celestite to the world, the Jeweled Wyrm. Regardless of how he is depicted, his worshipers offer jewels and precious metals in offering for both a blessing of greater riches in return and to be spared from his wrath. Legend has it that Braavast created bulettes in a competition against the Lord of Wavecrasher Hall, and supplied the metal that was crafted into the Shackles of the Great Heresy.

**Domains:** Destruction (All Subdomains), Earth (All Subdomains), Erosion, Fire (All Subdomains), Chaos (Entropy), Darkness (Loss), Dragon (Scalykind Subdomain), Stars (Void Subdomain).

### Haldor'venn, the Lord of Wavecrasher Hall

**Favored Weapon**: Trident

Lord of the Sea which lies below and above, his domain is one of dark depths and storms. Famed as a dour and arrogant god, many who follow him do so out of fear. Sacrifices are made not out of love, but to beseech him to quiet the seas briefly and allow passage. Is famed for creating sharks in a competition with Braavhast.

**Domains:** Air (All Subdomains), Darkness (All Subdomains), Void (All Subdomains), Water (All Subdomains), Destruction (Catastrophe, Rage), Nobility (Aristocracy, Hubris), Weather (Monsoon, Storms), Animal (No Subdomains), Fear (Evil Subdomain).

### Fal'rist, the Black Lord

**Favored Weapon**: Bastard Sword (Martial or Exotic) and Scythe

Judge of the Dead, his position as untouchable lord of the afterlife (but not death itself) has allowed him to amass more power over the years through the worship of those dead souls. His angels are depicted as blindfolded women wielding scales, though he is usually depicted with an executioner’s blade instead. The followers that he gifts with magic are usually martially adept, far more so than other deities.

**Domains:** Repose (All Subdomains), Rune (All Subdomains), Death (Psychopomp, Undead), Law (Judgement, Legislation, Loyalty), Nobility (Aristocracy, Leadership), Rites (Magic Subdomain).

### Kal'rist, the Breaker of Shackles

**Favored Weapon**: Whip

A Hedonist goddess of trickery and the sun, who is fond of illusions and other optical tricks. Her followers dress garishly and often drink or engage in vice whenever possible. Sister to the Black Lord, it’s said she rescues particularly entertaining followers from the clutches of her brother’s dour afterlife. In legend, when presented with the death of her progenitor at the hands of her brother, and his intention to behead her similarly, she laughed, and never ceased laughing.

**Domains:** Chaos (All Subdomains), Glory (All Subdomains), Luck (All Subdomains), Madness (All Subdomains), Sun (All Subdomains), Charm (Captivation, Lust), Destruction (Rage), Fire (Arson), Trickery (Ambush, Deception, Greed, Innuendo, Thievery).

### Mala'droth, the Lady of Decay

**Favored Weapon**: Quarterstaff

Goddess of nature, and decay, her followers either seek things greater than themselves or seek to flourish the natural world. Many of her rites involve haruspicy and druidcraft, often fostering new life in her sacrifices. Worship of her is popular in the areas around Ironholme and Mistyvale, due to their bordering the elves, though she's usually portrayed as a vengeful goddess without mercy for interlopers.

**Domains:** Animal (All Subdomains), Travel (All Subdomains), Vermin, Death (Plague), Plant (Decay, Growth, Leshy, Thorns), Seasons (Weather Subdomain).

### The Primordial Source, the Lord of the Lowest

**Favored Weapon**: Natural Weapons

Long ago, in the time before the gods weaved reality into being, and separated the heavens and the earth, all life was one. There was no distinction, no consciousness, and no pain. But a mistake separated the gods from the source, and they in turn split the world from the cosmos. Creating with it, suffering, and curses, and the rot of life.

Some Lumorans, the downtrodden, the mad, and the truly despairing, can glimpse the source in their agony, and become adherents to it, their minds turning towards a nihilistic pit. After all, with so much injustice, so much pain, so much evil in the world, and with no way to avenge those who suffer without hope, it might be kinder to allow the world to sink back into that still, peaceful mire, before life began.

Cults to the primordial source crop up wherever immense suffering or nihilism grows. Vagrants, prisoners, lunatics, as well as intellectuals, the idle, and undue sufferers are all sometimes drawn towards the yellow mire of the Lord of the Lowest.

**Domains:** Earth (All Subdomains), Erosion, Madness (All Subdomains), Chaos (Entropy), Destruction (Catastrophe), Water (Flotsam, Flowing, Oceans, River), Judgement (Law Subdomain).

## Proto-Deities

### Lorelei Lavender, the Lich Queen of Mistyvale

**Favored Weapon**: Spiked Chain and Sickle Sword

The ancient queen of Mistyvale, her rise to power through political marriage and assassinations led to the darkest period of the nation’s history.

For the peasants, at least.

Her inner circle and her allies enjoyed immense power both personally and politically, and so many bloodline nobles, and other lineages in Mistyvale quietly work to bring her back and subjugate the land once more. Since her defeat at the hands of House Aesor, a band of adventurers, and the church, her remains have been held by Tel’Adrossa’s followers for near three hundred years. The most recent is Aldabert Kairos, one of the Church of Wine and Wheat’s pilgrims, who keeps her heart in a box, and does battle with her revenant every few years. Her namesake has become a curse bestowed on unwanted girls within Mistyvale.

**Domains:** Knowledge (All Subdomains), Nobility (All Subdomains), Death (Murder, Undead), Evil (Fear), Magic (Arcane, Rites), Tyranny (Law)

### Immerith, the Ironstealer

**Favored Weapon**: Broken Back Seax

Originally a human hero within Strur Clen, his legends span far and wide in the areas around, from tales of his labors to quell the Weeping Lady’s sorrow, or his season long fight against the King of Blades and Chains. He ascended to godhood through unknown means, and stole the fae’s ability to touch cold iron, inflicting a permanent anathema on them, and giving Strur Clen’s human populace a fighting chance. His clerics are mighty warriors, who worship through deeds of courage and endurance instead of prayer. It’s said a faithful of his can hear the ringing of the bells in his hair during life or death struggles.

**Domains:** Cold Iron, Glory (All Subdomains), War (All Subdomains), Liberation (Self-Realization), Protection (Solitude), Strength (Resolve), Trickery (Ambush, Deception, Thievery)
