Gods and Goddesses of Vishteer 


 

In this world, all the Greater Gods and Goddesses are worshipped by almost all races and peoples. Every race and culture knows Aragh, the god of death. They may give him a different name, but his essential portfolio and purpose do not change greatly. Some races or cultures change the relative importance of a God in the structure of their religion (for example in Miran Mikol is almost a lesser God in status while Centarius rules supreme, while in Greenvale Elanora is the most popular God and Mikol is second or third, with Kehret a close competitor).

 

Lesser Gods may only be worshipped by a particular people in a given locale, and may vary more widely in interpretation by their followers. There are also many lesser Gods who have come into worship in an area and then faded. There are even a few lost greater Gods. This, however, is rare. It implies that everyone who knew of and followed a God has died. With Lesser Gods this is not impossible and not even unlikely. But by the time a being has been elevated to Greater God status his or her worship is widespread enough that a total collapse and vanishment implies a vast disruption of culture.

 

Gods and Goddess' Names used in this list are human/Miraborian, see chart below for other names.

Weapons, Armor, Colors and Symbols listed for each God reflect both the way in which the Deity is most commonly portrayed in art and the most preferred choices of his or her followers, but are not in any way limitations forced on priests or followers.

 

Domain Assignments: A cleric of a nonhuman race may always choose a domain that matches his race (ie an elf cleric whether of Elanora or of Soleth may choose the "elf" domain). Not all races have a domain devoted to their kind. Domains which are listed but not assigned to any deity are usually reserved for NPCs (ie slime and spider domains).
