	Exalutha is believed by some to be the fount of all magic, while others view her as some sort of safeguard for that source. Though opinions vary, all agree that the enigmatic goddess would tear this world asunder if given the chance. Her followers are often arcane spellcasters: simultaneously praying for a blessing and hoping that she doesn't make an appearance.

Iodan is a young god who until recently had no real following. This changed one day when a group of overly-friendly halfling merchants were visited by Iodan himself. The story goes that he was so impressed with their ability to turn anybody into their friends and allies that he offered them his guidance and love. In the years that followed Iodan's servants rapidly grew from less than ten to several hundred. To date there are somewhere between 500 and 1,000 followers of Iodan, however the number grows every day.

	Terandus was once a good god who paved the way for civilization and gave the mortal races the tools to lift themselves up from the wild. For this reason, he was lauded and praised by the mortals, and raised above all other gods. But the power of this position intoxicated Terandus, and he soon became corrupt. Now, Terandus lusts only for more power, and works to corrupt the mortal civilizations into his service. In this, he is opposed by Korander, Apala, and, more recently, Iodan. Despite his fall from grace, he is still widely worshiped by the mortal races who have not forgotten what he gave them, and who hope that he may one day be redeemed.

			=Communal Gods=

			These are lesser deities who act as patrons of smaller communities, such as towns, tribes, or occasionally even large families. Often they are ancestor spirits, but occasionally they may be particularly powerful totem spirits, half-gods, or angels. Multiple tribes in one region may each worship a single communal god, or they may worship a pantheon consisting of a number of communal gods from across different tribal religions.
