Gods of Callidore

## **Overview**

The gods worshiped by the people of the *Late Magocracy* took form just before and in the immediate aftermath of the Inundation of Perwyn. Though there had been “proto-divine” manifestations during the Early Magocracy, the first authentic divinities who attracted human devotees were recorded in the last few years of Perwyn.

> *As best my kindred can understand, when the humani’s collective desires or experiences entwine and entrain in the Otherworld, they can create a powerful force.  Undirected, you understand how destructive that could be....When some form or order is imposed on that force, then much like the elemental spells you know, the force itself becomes personified.*

It also appears that the institutions of each god such as monasteries, schools and temples were a way to preserve knowledge and to share it with each generation such as building, farming, medical needs, literacy and many other important services.

## **Imperial Pantheon**

It is known that the *Alka Alon* had a hand in the development of the Imperial pantheon, though the exact nature of this influence is lost to history. The Imperial Pantheon was instituted more as a method of social control and excuse for public works and social services than a spontaneous religious expression.  ***citation needed***

## **Narasi Pantheon**

Though the equestrian tribes of the northeast lived a simple existence of herding and ranching during the early and late Magocracy, they managed to develop a surprisingly sophisticated pantheon.  Many scholars conjecture that the proximity of the southern clans to the Empire is the reason, but others maintain that the vitality of the clans of the steppes was the reason.  While no more or less literate than other tribal peoples.
