Background
The Pantheon Apocrypha are seen as the true unifying moment for religion in Caeteria. Indeed, their revelation to the world is now known and celebrated as Reformation Day, the day when the worship of The Pantheon become unified and whole.
History
Before the twenty nine prophets wrote the Pantheon Apocrypha, worship of The Pantheon was fractured and disparate, with many different opinions existing as to the meaning of the stories of the gods, and indeed of how the stories themselves were told. The Pantheon Apocrypha took all those tales, stories, and knowledge, and pooled it together into one single, unified source, allowing the religion to push on ahead and spread, rather than falling to infighting.
Legacy
These days, The Pantheon Apocrypha is viewed as one of the most holy relics of The Pantheon. It is stored in it's entirety in it's own shrine vault within the Reliquary of Serene Vialgo.
