Euterran Pantheons
The heavens of Euterra are not lacking for inhabitants, as the mortals worship a seemingly endless number of deities. How much power they may have varies greatly, and many of them overlap (e.g. sun gods). Which ones are real? Are any of them in fact the version that any given culture worships, or is there some great meta deity that is the sole true sun god? Or perhaps all of them are simultaneously real, their divine powers allowing them to surpass the realm of logic or reason.
Here, we will quickly go over the major pantheons encountered in Euterra. These are the important ones you're likely to find temples or priests/priestesses of; the ones most likely to be the objects of worship.
Local deities of things like individual rivers, forests, hills, or mountains will not be listed here. Neither will demons, or more minor gods that are unlikely to attract significant worship. Gods of individual constellations, the winds, etc. These are relatively unimportant gods that, while everyone might know them, they likely won't be objects of significant dedicated cults.
