Pseudo-deities of Galaedros

The term "Pseudo-deity" refers to a range of figures across Galaedros. While these are largely what the name implies -- entities who claim divine heritage or ability with no means to support this -- this also includes legitimate demigods who hold smaller followings, and creatures with divine or celestial power but no direct ties to existing gods.

## List of Pseudo-deities

* The Anathema - An enormous, many-headed yuan-ti who some claim to have harnessed the healing power of the darkness.

* The Candlemage - A reclusive wax-covered entity who appears in the wake of planar disruptions. Does not have a tangible following.
* The Flamekeeper - So called for his tending of an "eternal flame" which is said will eventually extinguish at the world's end. Apparently a disgraced god or angel.
* Lord Castellan - A demigod or war and strategy who traces his lineage directly back to Venecea, the god of brilliance and conquest.
* Shastasa - A chaotic dragon deity who claims to be descended from Zalarisse, the daughter of Zhourave.

## The Fell Court

The Fell Court, rarely seen and even more rarely dealt with by mortals, are alleged to also be pseudo-deities of some sort. According to legend, each member was once an adventurer who gained great glory in centuries past only to fall from grace and memory, often due to their own vice.

Members of the Fell Court do not have followings, unlike most other entities considered pseudo-deities. However, they do strike deals with other creatures, the nature of which is largely unknown but is suspected to be a two-edged sword that mirrors the Court's own rise and fall in mortal life.

### Members

* Jack Gallows - A legendary thief whose exploits may once have brought fortune and equality to the common folk, now a withdrawn, vengeful figure who aids adventurers often for the price of their innocence in the eyes of the law.
* Lord Silverspur - Once the favored court entertainer and ambassador of a mighty king, Lord Silverspur is still considered a patron of starving artists. However, his fickleness and desire for his own entertainment does more harm than good to those desperate enough to seek his aid.
* Zoraida/The Blue Witch - A beautiful spirit who haunts shantytowns and challenges wayward sailors to games of chance and sorcery. Once a prestigious enchantress, Zoraida now uses her gifts to curse those who cross her or lose in her games.
* Jearhan the Hunter - A beastlike warrior whose only joy comes from the hunt. Jearhan's skills as a marksman and tracker once brought glory to his people, but now only bring terror to those who happen to stumble into his realm or choose to contend with him.
* Vaillancourt - The de facto leader of the Fell Court. Very few have ever directly dealt with him, and his proclivities lie in the control and subsequent dismantlement of various cities and countries. It has been said that he was once a great and virtuous paladin, but the god he might have served and the details of his deeds have been lost and muddled by time.
* The Sisters of Decay - A trio of sisters who were, at some point, practiced and caring healers. They now embody different aspects of pestilence: rodents, insects, birds and different kinds of fevers and illnesses, represented by the black, red, and white that each sister adorns herself with.
