| − | Worship of the gods has been a less than common occurrence, with only simple holidays to celebrate the greater deities. These deities have been described in different regions as being related to one another, with '''Katasis''', goddess of the sun, and '''Vareus''', god of moonlight creating them. The following is an excerpt from the lore:
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | ''"'''Katasis''' and '''Vareus''' fought for ownership of the skies for ten centuries; the sparks of their blades creating the stars in the dark sky. After the passing of the ten-day, they defeated one another, with the pieces of their spirits forming the sun and moon, greater and lesser deities, and the soul of the sentient beings."''
| |
| − | </blockquote>
| |
| − | These deities are divided into three categories: The Great Divine, The Warspawn, and The Lesser Five.
| |
| − | ==The Great Divine==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Description===
| |
| − | The second generation of gods, created from the will and drive of '''Katasis''' and '''Vareus'''. This category holds all gods and goddesses who were either formed from these two (except for '''Penur''', son of '''Althum''' and '''Hasdum'''). These deities have little to no impact on the Material Plane or echo planes, sending their Warspawn, Lesser Five, or devout followers to do their bidding.
