Somoran Pantheon

The history of The Somoran Pantheon began in around 630 B.C. with ancient Greek Mythology, But the Pantheon itself would not be adopted until Somora reached the Eurokon continent.

## Classification

The Pantheon is divided 3 classes: **Chief-Deities, Deities, and Demi-Gods.**

### Chief-Deities:

The originals the creators and all-fathers of the Deities. They have absolute control over the gods.

### Deities

Deities possess total control over select aspects of the universe. They are the direct creations of the Chief-Deities, as well as the parents of the Demi-Gods.

### Demi-Gods

The children of Deities, being less powerful while still maintaining a powerful grip on the universe.

## Naming Schemes

Each character in the Somoran alphabet represents something. For example, the character for "uh" looks like a wave, and represents the sea. Each God's name is comprised of a first name - generally containing characters which would be associated with their jurisdiction - and a suffix.

### Suffixes

There are 3 types of suffixes to choose from when naming Gods.

#### Watana

Watana is used for Chief-deities, such as Ordissius. Canonicus and Sapius are exceptions; Canonicus has no first name, and is simply called Awatana in Somoran. A is a preposition in Somoran for "above," and "wa" is an adjective for great." Tana simply means God. Therefore, Canonicus is literally translated as "A god beyond greatness." There other gods in the Chief Deity categories are translated as "Great god," or Watana in Somoran. Sapius, being a man-turned-God, was not renamed once he ascended to godhood, therefore Saypee'oos is still his name.

#### Tana

"Tana" simply means "god" in Somoran, therefore, all Deities are given the suffix "Tana." This suffix differs from "Watana" in that female Gods are given the female variant of the word "Tana," which is "Tanay." Chief-deities do not have their suffix change based on gender, as the Somorans believed the chief-deities to be above the use of gender-dependent suffixes.

#### Lahktana

"Lahk" in Somoran is an adjective for "lesser." The demi-gods and demi-goddesses, being below the level of true godhood, are therefore referred to as "Lahktana" and "Lahktanay" respectively.
