The Gnome Pantheon
The Gnome Pantheon, also known as the Natural Perspective, is a group of deities worshipped by the Gnomes of Apa Axas. To the Gnomes, The Beacons guide the Gnomes through the Murky Path as bestial spirits, while the Travesties appear as their usual horrific forms. In addition, the Gnomes believe in 8 Beacons, rather than the usual four, as they are entities who have altered the destiny of the Gnomes in some way; the Golden Owl Vida Quda, the creator of the Gnomes who guides them to bounty, Gloom Mona the Nightcat, who taught the Gnomes who to hide in the hidden places of the world, Zemer Epsh the Raven Image, who taught the Gnomes to never trust their own eyes, Retch the Nightmare Squid, who taught the Gnomes to shun destruction, Channus the Owlbear who taught the knows to accept both order and chaos, and good and evil to be necessities, Gutrot the Plagued Rat, who taught the Gnomes to fear decay, Nidryshim the Everchanging Butterfly, who taught the Gnomes to be resilient and adaptable, and Sangroke Bliss the Sun Bear, who taught the gnomes to shun unnecessary violence.
While the pantheon remains the same for the Gnome subspecies, they place emphasis on different gods within the group. Forest Gnomes venerate the Vida Quda most, Rock Gnome prefer Gloom Mona and Zemer Epsh while Deep Gnomes focus on Retch, Channus, Gutrot, Nidryshim and Sangroke Bliss.
