Kaigan Pantheon

The Kaigan pantheon consists of eleven deities, each with their own domains and worship. Lots of people of Kaigan worship one or more of these deities, for example by wearing their symbol or having a small alter in their homes. Almost all cities have one or more temples for worship. Large cities often have temples for specific deities, whilst smaller villages tend to have one temple with different alters. It is generally believed by scholars that not all deities in the Kaigan pantheon originate from the same time. The following deities are believed to be much older: God of Souls, Keeper of Knowledge, Creator of All and Seer of Fate. The rest is believed to have ascendent during or after the Prime Revolt

Aviën, God of Souls

Often portrayed as a male elf, the God of Souls rules over life and death. He is believed to be the second oldest god in the pantheon after the Creator of All, created to give life to the lifeless creations.
