The Dread Pantheon

“A Choice From The Gods Is As Useless As The Gods Themselves.”

The Dread Pantheon are the gods of Kwilterra, worshipped by the remaining native peoples of the land as well as a few converted outworlders. While they each have their own specific domains, their power tends to overlap in some areas and worship of one often bleeds some influence from at least one other.
Story Note: Their power is in decline due to the Phantom King's campaign to wipe out all life on Kwilterra and usurp their godhood. He is specifically targeting the Raven Queen and steeling souls from her, with the ultimate goal to gain enough power to absorb her and become the new god of Death.
Each god has at least one temple on the map and traversing the temples will force the player characters to face their fears for the reward of rare items, possible skill boosts, and possibly even weakening the Phantom King.
The gods are also each represented by a month of the kwilterran calendar.
