Deity: A'estara
Description:
A'estara is the Goddess of Light and Goodness and supremely Angelic. She sees
herself as the bane of evil and her entire existence is devoted to destroying
evil anywhere it may be attempting to root itself. Proper burial of the victims
of her followers when it is possible pleases her immensely, however. she also
appreciates sacrifices of the corpses to her name as she enjoys the blood of
the evil to paint her altars of worship. Yes, she is vain, and very self-
righteous as she believes righteousness shall prevail above all other
influences. The Drow race is her most hated of foes as they are devoted so
entirely to evil. The small and wispy pixies, whether powerful in their
magic or simply dancing through life are cherished by her and she will exact
punishment on any of her worshippers that harm them. Her most valued champions
are Paladins, those self-sacrificing warrior-priests that are so devoted to
helping others and pursuing the path of devout honour and spiritual healing.
Deity: Eilistraee
Description:
Eilistraee, God of Darkness and Evil revels in blood spilled by his worshippers.
Stealing, backstabbing and other dishonorable combat methods thrill him. He is
greatly pleased by and rewards followers who will defile sacred grounds and
sacrifice the remains to him. Vampires are his favorite minions for they are
epitome of evil as he is himself. The Drow are his favorite children for their
evil ways please him the most, whereas he regards the Pixie to be weak and
truly celebrates their destruction and rewards well those who kill them.
Deity: Xyirva
Description:
Xyirva, the Goddess of Purity and Neutrality wraps herself in the joy of all
that is pure of heart, mind, physical form and breeding. As a neutral Goddess,
she believes that those who stray viciously to the evil side of existence as
well as those that are devout beyond all reproach are foolish in their
endeavours. She favours the adventurer with the fighting spirit that neither
strongly promotes evil nor is blindly devout. Xyirva loves the freedom and
purity of the Avian race while scorning Hobgoblins as the most filthy of
the races that infect the surface of this world. She favours those who
sacrifice corpses to her and those who bury corpses equally.
Deity: S'vasch
Description:
S'vasch, the Goddess of Magic favours those who use the magical arts well,
especially in battle and casting helpful spells on others. She does not respect
physical attributes in her worshippers anywhere near as much as their magical
prowess. Warrior mentalities would not fare well following her. Gnomes are her
favorite race for they are prime users of magic. The bestial Half-Ogre is much
hated by her in all his physical ugliness. She praises and rewards magic used
in devout endeavours but only shuns those so evil as to be nearly Satanic.
Deity: G'roth
Description:
G'roth is the God of Honour and Battle. The most loved of his children are
the Half-Orcs who fight valiantly and honourably. Hated by him is the magic-
using Gnome. Though he does not punish his worshippers that use magic for the
kill, physical prowess is what he revels in the most. He expects honesty and
honour at all times and to backstab or steal sneakily from your opponent will
invite his wrath. This God is devout, although not fanatically so, and is
easily pleased by his followers who maintain a code of honour and dignity.
Deity: Iywynal
Description:
Iywynal, the Goddess of Nature is the guardian of all natural things and the
spirits of the plants and soil. Her most cherished race is the Elf as it is
closest to nature and her hatred for the Gith as they are not from nature but
from a different plane of existence is well known in these realms. As a devout
Goddess and lover of nature, she rewards those of her followers who bury their
victims when possible as it brings nourishment back to the soil while still
rewarding those that sacrifice their kills to her. To defile these graves is
considered a blasphemy to her. She encourages the use of magic for all purposes
as it is created by her spirits and she smiles upon those who use it in battle
or in any type of assistance to others.
Deity: Rach'At
Description:
Rach'at, the evil God of Destruction, revels in the extermination of almost
everything. Killing and sacrificing corpses to him, stealing and backstabbing
will bring much of his favour to his worshippers. If you cannot destroy what
you have started to kill, however, and either die or flee and/or need aiding,
then you are weak in his eyes. His racial foe is the Dwarf who is always
creating and constructing new things and repairing the old, which makes him
rage with fury. The Half-troll is his beloved race as they are bred for battle
and destruction. Naturally he highly favours those of his followers who dig up
the corpses buried by the worshippers of other Deities, desicrating their
grave and sacrificing the corpse to him.
Deity: Naeryth
Description:
Naeryth is the Goddess of Luck and believes that all, in reality, is mostly
determined by it. She favours those who steal and backstab for if you are
stealthy enough to sneak up on someone or something without detection, luck
is in your favour. She appreciates those who aid the weak as she wishes that
her power is spread to all in need. Her racial foes are the Trolls who are so
clumsy and she has a particular love for Cats for their stealth and the luck
that brings to them their nine lives.
Deity: M'zterth
Description:
M'zterth, the God of Fire, revels when his power is used for destruction,
though when used for good, if not fanatically so, he favours his worshippers
as well. As fire is generally a destructive force, so mostly is M'zterth.
He has studied all the elemental volumes as his father, Olendag, did but chose
to focus and specialize on one. Fire. He is a little more drawn to the evil
side than his father Olendag. His foe is the water-dwelling Sea-elf as his
power has less effect on them and the Dwarf of the mountains is his most
beloved race and he punishes those that do them harm. He is tickled when one
of his followers digs up another deity worshipper's grave and sacrifices the
corpse to him.
Deity: Olendag
Description:
Olendag is the God of the four elements, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. He has
studied the elements for years beyond counting. His favorite beings are Gods,
while his most hated of races is the lowly Human race. This God demands
strength and resolve from his worshippers and will not tolerate weakness.
Should his followers be weak and require healing by others or heal or aid those
weaker than themselves, he will shun them. Fleeing once in battle is also a
huge weakness in his eyes. His main attention is to the kill, whether by magic
or physical strength and his concern with his worshippers' choice of path is
is minimal although he considers supremely satanic OR fanatically devout
followers to have a weakness in scope.
Deity: Xaeroth
Description:
Xaeroth, the Benificent, is the God of Healing and Self-sacrifice. He much
honours beauty and lends some of it to his most faithful worshippers. Although
Xaeroth is devout, he does not demand that his follers remain devout, but
he does not favour those who choose the evil path. He respects those who will
use magic for healing or destroying evil and corruption. Clerics and Paladins
are protected and rewarded by him for they sacrifice their mana and energy to
to the cause of helping others with their magic, skills and weapons. Xaeroth
loves the Feline race for their beauty and grace and hates the entire race of
filthy evil Hobgoblins.
Deity: Solonor
Description:
Solonor is the elven God of Rangers. He focusses his love upon every being
that chooses to follow the simple life of the ranger. He loves all the rangers the same. Eventhough he is elven, he will not love them more. He asserts his will to preserve what nature has created. He believes that death is part of the life cycle and that running from one's foe is dishonorable. He holds the wolf very close to his heart as the wolf in nature is a true ranger. The evil goblin race has long been a bane to nature and Solonor detests these small and nasty vermin for their evil nature. Three stars circling a harvest moon is the symbol of Solonor.
Deity: Cyric
Description:
Cyric, the God of Suffering and Satanic Sorcery, was born from the blood of
slain innocents and built from the flesh of demons. He was destined for great
chaotic and evil doings. A loner from birth, he never requested nor required
help from others, a trait he finds desirable in his followers. Cyric gained
his power and knowledge of Sorcery from the great demon, Gh'arax, Ruler of
the Fifth Plane. After learning all he could from this demon, he used the
power he had gained and slew Gh'arax and took control of the plane. Following
the path of a Sorcerer, Cyric lends his strength and intelligence to them and
other magic users that follow the path of evil. As a child, he was attacked by
a pack of wolves, which he eventually defeated. The tragic memory is still
imprinted thus he passionately hates the Wolf and the Canine. As Cyric uses
Dragons as pets, he blessed them so that those killing his pets are punished
with the loss of favour in his eyes.
