The Osirion Gods

The Osirion Gods, otherwise known as the Gods of Beast and Men, the Old Gods, and the Gods of Amonket, are a selection of gods worshiped primarily by the people of Zaramoor in the continent of Scala. Each of them bears the head or body of an animal to represent how human nature and animal instinct must be both recognized and respected in the world in order to foster survival.
