The Prachean Pantheon

The Prachean Pantheon is the pantheon worshipped in Prachia. It contains a variety of gods that are partially derived from the ancient Nesonis Pantheon that mixed with other smaller pantheons in Prachia and the surrounding lands. The gods that belong to the Prachean Pantheon consist of:

• Zeus, god of the sky and ruler of gods
• Hera, goddess of marriage and intrigue
• Chauntea, goddess of agriculture
• Ilmater, god of endurance
• LLiira, goddess of joy
• Dunatis, god of mountains and peaks
• Shinare, goddess of wealth and trade
• Helm, god of protection
• Silvanus, god of nature and forests
• Azuth, god of wizardry
• Mask, god of thieves
• Vasuhin, god of fishing
• Boldrei, goddess of community and home
• Tymora, goddess of good fortune
• Hidukkel, god of lies and greed
• Arawn, god of life and death
• Shar, goddess of darkness and loss
• Hades, god of the underworld

Hidukkel, Arawn, Shar and Hades are feared by most religious people. Only a few actively worship those gods and these people are mistrusted by others. Followers of Arawn, Shar and Hades might be accepted by some communities if they also follow the other gods of the pantheon. However, worshipping of Hidukkel is taboo and is be punishable by death in most parts of Prachia.

Even though not all people worship all of the gods, those with faith in a Prachean god all should adhere to the following:

1. Care for yourself and your neighbours
2. Respect all the gods
3. Respect all living creatures
4. Do not deceive
5. Beware of greed

Worship

Being an old belief system remnant from the Nesonis pantheon, it has a rich history of traditions and customs, as well as stories from a wide range of backgrounds. The main teachings revolve around care, acceptance and nature, and these teachings are often passed on through weekly gatherings and attempting to reach enlightenment. Beliefs are often expressed through paintings, temples and churches. More day to day expressions are dance and prayer. Buttons are the major objects used in these prayers and other rituals. Those part of this belief see it as a way to find a purpose in life. Therefore, standing still with someone's achievements in life is and celebrating their purpose and future is a major tradition in the religion. The goddess Tymora is greatly associated with this tradition and it is therefore called Tymora's Tribute.
