Pantheon

The primary religion of Arthuria and its neighboring lands is polytheistic. There are twelve important deities, with many deities outside the pantheon being overshadowed by the twelve, if not spurned by Arthurians as "false gods."

Main Deities
Within the pantheon are twelve important deities: six gods and six devils. Each god has a unique devil counterpart, and vice versa.

Gods
The six gods are seen as benevolent entities, each representing "positive" aspects of the world or mortalkind. Consequently, worship of the gods is encouraged throughout Arthuria, with many people exclusively worshipping one or more of the gods.


 * Agresh, the Rainmaker: God of weather and agriculture
 * Dinastis, the Bladebearer: Goddess of honorable combat and celebration
 * Nephyos, the Restless: God of death and the cycle of life
 * Niscia, the All-Seeing: Goddess of wisdom and dreams
 * Uthos, the Judge: God of law and justice
 * Venya, the Adoring: Goddess of love and art

Devils
The six devils are seen as malevolent versions of the gods, with each representing "negative" aspects of the world or mortalkind. Consequently, exclusive worship of the devils is frowned upon throughout Arthuria, though this has not stopped many people from joining cults dedicated to one or more of the devils. Many devil worshippers are former followers of their god counterparts, disillusioned with their original faith.


 * Asha'ac, the Destroyer: Devil of war crimes and treason
 * De'irkan, the Feral: Deviless of wilderness and predators
 * Jireth, the Forsaken: Deviless of revenge and the betrayed
 * Sal'goroth, the Unnerving: Devil of curiosity and nightmares
 * Vulgroz, the Perverse: Devil of hedonism and dissociation
 * Yersinia, the Wretched: Deviless of plagues and necromancy
