Pantheon of Ierra

Although Kristyanitty is a common religion in Heimland, there are still sects of people who follow the ancient pagan religions that populated the island earlier.
Pagans in Heimland have no specific gods to worship, as there are millions of pagan deities in each region, and each region has their own god or goddess to worship. However, all pagans follow and acknowledge one specific pantheon: the pantheon of Ierra.

by C.S.De Silva (Ken D)

This pantheon is the oldest pantheon of Heimland. It focuses on one "family" of deities, all centered around the goddess Ierra. Each deity comes in its own avatar forms; their appearances range from animals to anthropomorphs to humanoids to inanimate objects.
Ierra, also known by her other name of Awen, is the central deity. She is the "mother" goddess, the one who birthed all the other gods and goddesses. Her children include:

• Luna- the moon god, appears as a large silver wolf.
  Aer- the wind god, appear as a pillar of wind.
  Ignis- the fire god, appears as a column of flaming earth.

Through fission Ierra's children had children of their own:

• Mercvrii- child of Luna and god of sun, appears as a ball of rolling fire.
  Mene- child of Aer and goddess of water, appears as a watery bubble with all the colors of the rainbow.
  Tonnue- the child of Ignis and god of earth, appears as a large mountain with hundreds of legs.

After this, the pantheon gets confusing. Many gods intermarry with each other, effectively incest. And from these intermarriages new gods and goddesses arise, separated into four Branches:
Branch of Tonnue and Mercvrii

After some time, Mercvrii produced his own branch without incest:

These four Branches complete the pantheon. This pantheon of deities is worshiped by almost every pagan sect, irrespective of the regional gods or goddesses. There are many tales of each deity, from humorous to tragic. And, in the end, there is always a message of hope. And that is why the pagans pay homage to this pantheon specifically, and why Ierra is considered the most important pagan deity of all.
