==Hero Gods/Heresies/Ideals== These being the gods worshiped by few not well known in others; those deities whose worship is considered heresy; powerful philosophies that may or may not be affiliated with a particular religion. '''Father Artavas (LN):''' Once considered a follower of Shintaism (inspired by the White Fox), Artavas reinterpreted Shinta's example of selflessness and willing poverty, going a few steps further and denying the power of the "weak and humanlike gods" that are predominant in Antanides. He added a few elements of the Old Faith to the cult's beliefs as well as a communistic lifestyle, purification through physical suffering and self punishment and a call for society to abandon commerce, luxury, and the worship of idols (pretty much all the gods). His closest followers wear simple clothes, mostly black and brown robes and live day to day, begging for food and sharing what they have with the unfortunate and the destitute. He also has a sizable following amongst many who see the beauty in a simple rural lifestyle and even some druidic converts who further blend his teachings with Old Faith traditions. Domains are Community, Destruction, Healing, and Law. '''Pharizon, The Last God-King (CN):''' Almost more like an old one at this point, Pharizon was the last of Shahar-Khet’s sorcerer kings. He made a pact with Nyarlathotep for immortality, which backfired, destroying Shahar-khet and turning him into a monster unable to hold his shape. Despite this some still seek his secrets among the ashes of his kingdom. Domains are Magic, Knowledge, and Glory '''Shintaism (NG):''' Unintentionally spread by the kitsune Shinta when she worked as travelling healer, her good example sparked the hearts of many who began venerating her as a messenger of the gods. Domains are Healing, Good, and Protection '''Snjór and Logi (NE):''' A dualistic faith that reveres two legendary giants that are said to be infused with the powers of snow (Snjór) and flame (Logi). Both are said to dwell in the most inhospitable parts of the north and while they are said to be at odds with each other they are usually worshiped in tandem by their giant (and occasionally human) cultists. Domains are Fire, Destruction, Rune, and Water. '''St. Archelon (LG):''' A justicar of Lacaeta who had such piety that the priests of Erabis declared him consecrated upon his death. Local legend holds that his spirit along with those of his chosen champions guard the city still. Community, Law, Protection '''The Brotherhood of the Rising Phoenix (LG):''' Formed by paladins and justicars that were unsatisfied by the moral ambiguity of the Erabisian clergy. They are technically heretics but they aren't considered a threat and so are left more or less to themselves. Domains are Glory, Protection, and War
