The Pantheon

The pantheon is divided into Primordial Gods and Ascended Gods.

Ascended Gods were all mortals before they were chosen by the Primordial Gods to represent a certain subset of ideals, morals and values. They were chosen due to their particular proclivity towards said values, or due to incredible achievement in one particular area.

## Primordial Pantheon

### Ilef, Goddess of Life, the Allmother

Ancient Goddess whose faith is practiced all across the world, even if under different names. Those who worship her value the Sun and all forms of life. Most mothers pray for Ilef’s blessings upon the birth of their child

### Hadet, God of Death, the Claimer of Souls

Ancient God, brother to Ilef, whose faith is practiced all across the world, even if under different names. Those who worship him value the passage onto the next life and see death as the ultimate ode to life itself. They are avid hunters of undead and those who dare dabble in necromantic ways.

## Ascended Pantheon

### Nidk, Goddess of Kindness

One of the first goddesses to be chosen by the Primordial Twins. She guards the planes of Vaeneh (the higher planes), inside which all those deemed good rest after their passing. Her faith has waned over the years and is restricted to very small circles, but the practice of everyday kindness strengthens this Goddess’ power.

###  Thader, God of Hatred

One of the first gods to be chosen by the Primordial Twins. He guards the planes of Ninfero (the lower planes), inside which all of those deemed evil rest after their passing. His faith has waned in the mortal world, but it is strong in the Nine Hells and the Abyss. Both devils and demons worship this god.

### Ge’Jud, Goddess of Justice and Judgment

* Aspect of the Scale
* Aspect of the Punisher

One of the first goddesses to be chosen by the Primordial Twins. She guards the entrance to the Memoriam, where Ninfero and Vaeneh are included. Ge’Jud is the ultimate judge and the only one that sees the true weight of one’s soul. Her faith has all but waned in the mortal world, practiced only by those in Herskellan that still follow her ancient ways.

### Aegr, Goddess of Rage, Anger and War

* Aspect of the Axe
* Aspect of the Volcano

Aegr is an orc Goddess that ascended due to her great feats in the Battle of the Tainted between two orc factions and what would become the dark elves.

Her faith is practiced by those who worship war in its purest form and can’t live without the thrill of battle. The main hubs of her faith are therefore in Southern Ipsa, more specifically in Volkan and in the Southern Wastes of the Grayscape in Caifam.

### Aepec, God of Peace, Patience and Soothing

* Aspect of the Tide
* Aspect of the Soothsayer

Aepec is an elf god that ascended due to his great feats in the Battle of the Lake, which caused the separation of the elven race. With one word he put an end to senseless bloodshed.

His faith is practiced by those who worship diplomacy and peace, but also by those who find solace in the seas, as that was where he ascended to godhood. The main hubs of his faith are in the kingdom of Forschemeer, in the Icetail Tundra (North Caifam), Soguk in Southern Ipsa and in the kingdom of Kerejh’Imas (Central Caifam).

### Edreg, God of Greed and Lies

* Aspect of the Deceiver
* Aspect of the Hoard

Edreg is a dwarf god that ascended due to his grand deception in the events of the Grounding, which caused the dwarves to fully abandon airship technology (this is unknown to all mortals).

His faith is practiced by those who value their own personal advancement as the only worthy pursuit, be it through achieving more wealth and power. One can lie, cheat, steal and kill, as long as they have those goals in mind. The main hubs of his faith are in the city of Aergead, in the Hammerhead Mountains (North Caifam), the kingdom of Forschemeer in the Icetail Tundra (North Caifam) and in Volkan (Southern Ipsa).

### Rhouno, God of Righteousness, Honour and Truth

* Aspect of the Sword
* Aspect of the Shield

Rhouno is a human god ascended due to the constant commitment to honour during his life, standing as an example to an entire kingdom.

His faith is practiced by those who value honour and truth above all else, even their own personal gain. One’s commitment to being honest should always prevail over any individual need, even if it leads to death. The main hub of his faith is the entire kingdom of Herskellan (central and western Caifam).

### Meodref, Goddess of Freedom and the Wild

* Aspect of the Guardian
* Aspect of the Huntress

Meodref is an elven goddess ascended due to her unique connection with her primal instincts and her willingness to have an open mind.

Her faith is practiced by those who wish to protect nature and see freedom as the ultimate pursuit, whichever form it takes. The main hubs for this faith are in the realm of Nad’ar, in the Elderroot Forest (Central Caifam), and in the kingdom of K’iino in Northern Ipsa.

### Belec, God of Joy, Happiness and Celebration

* Aspect of the Song
* Aspect of the Story

Belec is a halfling god ascended due to his unwavering joy and positive outlook on life, as well as his great feat of bringing light to the dark elven kingdom.

His faith is practiced by those who wish to bring joy, happiness and hope to those pushed down by life. Song and storytelling are the favored ways of Belec’s followers. His faith is practiced all over the world, usually worshiped by bards, poets and storytellers.

### Eow, Goddess of Melancholy, Sadness and Mourning

* Aspect of Twilight
* Aspect of the Widow

Eow, the Nightbringer, is a dark elven goddess ascended due to her incredible magical prowess and for withstanding the grief of an entire kingdom.

Her faith is practiced by those who would spend their lives atoning for their sins, or who need help in grieving their losses. The main hub of her faith is the dark elven kingdom of Tra’Hadare, in the Northern wastes of the Grayscape (East Caifam).

### Essal, Goddess of Trade, Thieves and Exploration

* Aspect of the Thief
* Aspect of the Trader
* Aspect of the Curious

Essal is a yoot’eli goddess ascended due to her astounding ingenuity in bargaining, having bargained a spot for herself and another in the pantheon.

Her faith is practiced by merchants and thieves alike, since the goddess herself only managed her bargain due to her great ability as a thief. There are many shrines and temples spread across the world in her honor, but the main hub of her faith is in the kingdom of K’iino, in Northern Ipsa.

### Yhnor, Goddess of Love, Seduction and Fertility

* Aspect of the Listener
* Aspect of the Womb

Yhnor is a tiefling goddess ascended due to her mesmerizing beauty, ability to seduce and enthralling voice. She also benefited from Essal’s bargain, ensuring her ascension to the pantheon.

Her faith is practiced by those who value the simple pleasures of life, but most importantly that would use love as an answer to everything. It is practiced all over the world, especially in conjunction with Ilef’s, but the main hub is in the Twin Cities of Savas and Kal’Ma, in Southern Ipsa.

The practitioners of this faith are especially known for having very few limitations, rules and boundaries.
