The Vaasavet

The Vaasavet are a collection of traditions, values, and gods that guide practicioners of the original Vaasan faith that the Dranja worship, as well as minorities elsewhere in civilized Vaasa. The deities of Vaasavet include Azhdaya the three-headed dragon and god of fire and sky, Baba Yaga the Bone Mother and goddess of magic, Bes the Skinwalker and demigod of tragedies and death, Svyatagor the Guardian and god of mountains, and Dranamir the King and god of storms and ice. Practicioners of Vaasavet place honor and one's word as integral aspects of one's character, believing that breaking one's honor attracts the attention of the Vaasavet deities in negative ways. Each of these deities are in conflict with one another, representing the ever-changing nature of Toril to the Vaasans.

The leshy, while not deities, are also entrenched beings in the Vaasan pantheon. The leshy are forest spirits that watch over the Galena Veil, keeping it safe from intrusion by civilization and keeping it from the influence of the Baba Yaga and Bes. Followers of Vaasavet have been known to make pacts with the leshy to keep their crops and livestock safe and nourished.
