Numen Pantheon

The Numen Pantheon was a set of deities that created Etof while inhabiting the Numen Plane of existence. These gods belonged to one of two major pantheons that were worshipped on Etof, the other being the Damen. The Numen owe their creation to the Omnuma Für, who in turn was created by the cosmic entity R'lh.  
   

List of All Worshipped Numen

Omnuma

Für - The first Numa, ruler and creator of all Numen, sibling to the Duma Reda, offspring of R'lh, joint creator of Etof.  

Numen of the Intelligent Races

Several Numen were created and appointed by Für to create species that would inhabit and civilize the world for the purpose of testing the powers granted to them by R'lh. Before the Murder of the Universe, the Numen of the Intelligent Races would rarely, if ever, spend time on Etof and interact with their creations. Instead, they gave each of their created races archetypal personality traits and let them loose on the planet, allowing for them to develop their own customs and cultures with little influence from their creators. This resulted not only in the creation of other gods by Für to supplement the drives for civilization, but the eventual breeding of hybrid races such as Half-Elves as well. Pitys was punished for millennia by Für for making humans too versatile and virile for the world to sustain them, but the Omnuma did nothing to combat the new plague.   Adveno - Creator of Halflings   Alaruk-Maul - Creator of Orcs   Brest - Creator of Goblinoids   Elemalus - Creator of Genasi   Felthes - Creator of Aarakocra, Kenku, Tabaxi, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Tortles, Loxodon   Galor - Creator of Gnomes   Jol - Creator of Dwarves   Kryx'l - Creator of Dragons, Dragonborn, Kobolds, Lizardfolk   Lageles - Creator of Triton, Merfolk   Mammut - Creator of Giants, Giant-Kin, and Goliaths   Pitys - Creator of Humans   Vellisius - Creator of Elves   Zilus - Creator of the Fey  

Numen of the Natural Cycles

Für delegated several new Numen to maintain the natural cycles of Etof in order to sustain life on the planet. When it was made apparent that a key ingredient in the process of maintaining these cycles was missing, Für made Ovian, who created useable and attunable magic to help keep the cycles in order and balance. Ovian would then gift this knowledge of magic to the creatures of Etof, much to the chagrin of Für. Like the Numen of the Intelligent Races, the Numen of the Natural Cycles would rarely interact with the inhabitants of the planet and instead channeled their power in the Numen plane to control the cycles.   Adis - God of Spring, Fertility   Solus - God of Summer, Light   Ahias - God of Autumn, Harvests   Yteus - God of Winter, Darkness   Keses - God of Night, Day   Mordus - God of Life, Death   Ovian - God of Magic   Petrichoris - God of Storms, Wind, Precipitation   Xuxzotl - God of the Afterlife, Rebirth  

Numen of the Formation

Regarding the formation of Etof's features, Für took parts of himself and created this subset of Numen in order to help carry out the creation of the planet itself. These gods would often descend onto Etof to silently admire their work and populate their ecosystems with creatures.   Arbores - God of Forests, Woods   Bel-Asat - God of Deserts   Byanh - God of Plains, Grasslands, Lowlands   Conles - God of Hills, Mountains, Highlands, Plateaus, Valleys   Depthes - God of Ravines, Canyons, Trenches   Eton - God of Swamps, Bogs, Marshes   Reur - God of Caves, the Subterranean   Thalaemon - God of Rivers, Streams, Canals   Tites - God of Ponds, Lakes, Seas, Oceans   Untir - God of the Darkreach
