Dark Pantheon
The Dark Pantheon describes the group of deities that are generally evil-aligned and serve as malevolent influences on the Material Plane. The original members of this group are the Elder Beings Divone and Morwyn, who rule over The Abyss and The Nine Hells respectively. These two entities produced several children together through their on-again off-again relationship, and they each produced at least one child with a member of the Light Pantheon. All of these children, as they tend to be evil-aligned as well, are known as Olcrid and are considered to be as powerful and influential as the Deirid.
Mythology & Lore
The Dark Pantheon came into being with the revelation of the Elders Morwyn and Divone. It includes all of their children they have produced through their cycle of hatred/romance/loathing, plus any children they produced with Deirid or Nisme as well. Like the Deirid, no one is sure the order of birth of the Olcrid, though there are some general hints based on other timelines and events.
Priesthood
There is no dedicated priesthood to the Dark Pantheon as a whole. Most of the deities therein are too conceited or vain to allow their priests to worship any other power. Because of this, each of the deities within the pantheon has their own varying levels of dedicated priesthood, but there is not an overarching faith for the whole group.
