Greater Deities

Even if we all like to believe that we truly own our own life and decisions - and this is true, at least to an extent - there are many powerful entities out there, shaping and influencing the world and every single one of us. You might not agree with their teachings or actions, but you can't deny their existence and influence. They have been here long before any of us, and they will be here long after all of us are gone.

— A sage contemplating the powers of this world

After the War of Fate the influence of the Gods and other extra planar entities dwindled, but it never completely vanished. There are many powerful beings out there, and you will find a place of worship for most of them somewhere in Lothrea. But the most known and most worshipped entities are the ten Greater Deities. You will find temples and shrines to them in every major hub of civilization.

The Siblings of the Sky

In the beginning, there was nothing. No time, no space, only darkness; an endless and eternal void of nothingness. But in this endless void, there was a single mote of light. A tiny piece of light and hope - the beginning of something great. The beginning of everything that exists today.

For an eternity, this mote of light was alone in the darkness, but eventually it grew tired and bored. So it gave itself up and gave birth to the elements, and three new lights in the dark. The elements formed the world as we know it, and the lights grew into the three siblings of the Sky.

The Children of the Earth

Just a few decades after the first Mortals appeared on Lothrea their faith gave birth to new entities and new gods. These new arrivers fought for followers and prevalence. They clashed in countless bloody wars, influenced great cultures and people, trying to find worshippers all over the world. But in the end, only five of them remained. All others have fallen into obscurity or oblivion.

The new Gods

During the Age of Arcanum, civilisation thrived and Mortals got more and more powerful, until two of them ascended into godhood. They changed the divine pantheon and the perception of it forever. Divinity was no longer some inherent ability of the gods, but a goal that could be achieved.
They might have been mortal once, but today they are as influential as every other god.
