Gods

There are many temples which lie empty in the great cities of the republic. Their parishioners and clergy long since deceased. As civilization returns to the population centers, no doubt further gods will make their presence known. Whispers and rumors of dark gods of death and murder with underground temples swirl in polite circles.

About 30% of the population in urban centers follow druidic or nature cults. In the countryside and less civilized areas, about 70% follow the druidic cults.

Asura

  • Alignment : TN
  • Domains : Knowledge, Arcana

Asura's avatar appears as a middle aged woman with graying hair. Her temples serve as libraries, and her clerics tell of caches of lore stashed for safe keeping when the sundering came. Only… nobody remembers where they are.

Edena

  • Alignment : LN
  • Domains : War

Edena's avatar appears as a lithe young woman wearing white robes stained with blood. Her temples are spartan, functional buildings that ring with the clash of steel. She disdains trickery and deceit, and revels in honorable, glorious combat.

Humber

  • Alignment : LG
  • Domains : Light

Humber is the diety of Justice, and appears as a grandfatherly man with a warm smile. His clerics are known as Justicars and are required to aid those in need that are wronged.

Dhamra

  • Alignment : LG
  • Domains : Life, War (Purity)

Dhamra is the diety of Purity. He is a martial diety, and oversees the cleansing things deemed impure. He appears as a heavily armored wood elf in his prime, armor fashioned from some sort of magical, living wood, grasping a pike made of the same. He is a god returning into his power, and has few, if any, devotees.

Urtoch

  • Alignment: CN
  • Domains: Life, Tempest

Urtoch is the God of Weather and Fertility. Many farmers sacrifice to Urtoch to appease his capricious moods. He has few clergy, and they are as unpredictable as their deity. He is Sitar's brother.

Vedra

  • Alignment: CN
  • Domains: Trickery

Vedra is the Goddess of Night and Smoke. She appears as a dusky, raven-haired woman with dark eyes. Many view her followers with suspicion, though this isn't strictly a fair assessment.

Ctessipha

  • Alignment: TN
  • Domains: Light, Tempest

Ctessipha is the Goddess of Fire and Air. She is said to revel high in the mountains where volcanic activity provides her a playground. Her clerics favor fire magic, and tend to eschew the confines of cities.

Sitar

  • Alignment: NG
  • Domains: Nature, Life

Sitar is the God of Earth and Water. Not technically an agricultural diety, he is often revered as such. He is Urtoch's more stable brother. While Urtoch can bring the rains, Sitar is capable of making the land productive.
