Dawnhaven Gods

Deities for the PbP Pathfinder campaign Dawnhaven.

Apala

Lawful Neutral Goddess of Wealth

Apala's domain is gold, money, and economy. She is the patron of all the world's wealth, and upholds the system by which wealth exists. She is the occasional consort of Korander, and some whisper that she sometimes possesses a degree of influence over him. She was once the lover of Terandus, but now opposes him, though there is still some kind of bond between the two gods.

Exalutha

Chaotic Evil Goddess of Magic

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

Chaotic Good God of Community

Iodan is relatively new edition to the pantheon, representing the driving force of community. His domain means his followers are often rather intense, almost cult-like in their worship and they are the primary lending party in "The Dawnhaven Venture".

Korander

Lawful Good God of Justice

Korander holds justice and fairness above all things. He does not tolerate evil, and is locked in an everlasting battle with Terandus to keep civilization good, just, and pure.

The Masked God

True Neutral God of Lies and Secrets

Also known as He Who Stands in Shadow, the Masked God is the patron of spies and thieves. While no mortal institution recognizes the Masked God, he is nonetheless worshiped in every organization where secrets are kept. No prayers or rituals are offered to him openly. Instead, his followers outwardly praise other gods, while inwardly giving devotion to He Who Stands in Shadow.

Prineh

Neutral Evil Goddess of Seas and Rivers

Prineh is Ulali's twin sister, and her domain is the destructive power of water. It is she who brings the flood and the tsunami, and who drowns sailors in her depths. It is said that sometimes she falls for mortal sailors and brings them to her realm to wed, but she inevitably grows bored and drowns them. When disaster strikes, the people seek to appease her.

Terandus

Lawful Evil God of Civilization and Power

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.

Ulali

Neutral Good Goddess of Sea and Rivers

Ulali is the twin sister of Prineh, and together they are the goddesses of Seas and Rivers. Ulali is the Provider. It is she whom the fishermen pray to for a good catch, and the traveler prays to for a swift voyage. The life-giving power of water is her domain.

Wak'ran

Chaotic Neutral God of the Wilds

Wak'ran often takes the form of an old man with a beard made of leaves and skin made of bark. He claims untamed wilderness as his domain, and is unfriendly toward interlopers. Those lost in the wilds should take care to appease Wak'ran and not to anger him, lest they never find their way back to civilization.
