Korinthian Pantheon

The Korinthian Pantheon is the most worshiped pantheon on Korinth, a continent on Aurum.

## Organization

### Membership

The Korinthian pantheon is a pantheon of deities. Pantheons are a group of deities who were worshiped by people who share one characteristic, for example sharing the same cultural or racial background. In the Korinthian pantheon's case the believers' shared characteristic are a geographic one, people who live in the continent Korinth where other pantheons did not hold sway are the believers.

### Hierarchy

The Circle of Greater Powers are the ones who lead the pantheon. The leadership is a loose matter and is more of administrative nature. Apart from this, there is little hierarchy in the pantheon except for the one the gods created among themselves. A unique trait of the pantheon is that deities with similar portfolios clustered in a hierarchic relationship. The reason they do this, or to be more precise the reason why the highest deity did not just kill the lower-ranking ones and assumed their places, is surmised to be either a bargain where the lower-ranking deity helped the higher-ranking one at increasing its influence in return of protection, or blackmail where the higher-ranking one bullied the lower-ranking ones into giving them their divine energy and servitude. It was assumed that the exact nature of such arrangements varied with the personalities of the involved deities.

## Activities

The Korinthian pantheon is a very fractious one that fight among themselves and have no overarching goal. This fractious nature is believed to be the source of the pantheon's adaptability and its ability to expand. When it expanded its physical sphere of influence, it usually did so at the expense of other pantheons.

The aforementioned Circle of Greater Powers regulated the deities according to the rules as set by Loa, the Goddess of Magic of Aurum to whom all pantheons worshiped on Aurum were subject to. However, the leaders rarely if ever met to do their jobs and even when they did their reaction time was very long, not because they needed a lot of time to think, but due to internal strife.
