The Pantheon

The Pantheon is the collection of gods found in the world of Mundus. The Pantheon can roughly be divided in four sections: The Aedra, Daedra, Divines and Mundra.  

Origins & Creation

The first known power of the Universe was The Almighty One, Orsus. Orsus at first formed two sons from his own power, Aedris and Daedraris. Both inspired different aspects of their father, Aedris holding conservatism and Daedraris change. Aedris and Daedraris formed from themselves mighty 'Captains' who would become known respectively as the Aedra and Daedra. After a long war between the two brothers they mysteriously vanished, leaving only their captains behind. Shortly after, Orsus made his third son, Mundus, who gave up his enormous powers to become the world of Mundus. From Mundus the concept of the mortal soul would be born, and with his embodiment of the world came the 0th Era: Creation  

Aedra

The captains created by Aedraris are known as the Aedra. Their views are united by a form of conservation and are often regarded 'good' in the eyes of mortals. While they are addressed in many names, Malacor describes them in his 'Travel through the Planes of Oblivion' with the following names:
  • Meridia , goddess of Light and purification
  • Akatosh , god of Time. His alterego is known as Auriel
  • Arkay , guardian of the Dead
  • Eyfri , goddess of Nature
  • Dibella , goddess of Beaty
  • Mara , goddess of Love and Healing
  • Tethras , god of Work and Commerce
  • Ares , god of Chivalry
  • Andraste , goddess of Home and Health
  • Innos , god of Justice
  • Adanos , god of Balance
  • Julianos , god of Wisdom and Logic
 

Daedra

The Daedra, also known as the Daedric princes, embody change in many forms. Often they are regarded as 'evil', although some among them may very well be more 'neutral' in alignment.
  • Molag Bal , god of Domination
  • Mehrunes Dagon , god of Revolution through Destruction
  • Azura , goddess of Dusk and Dawn
  • Boethiah , goddess of Deceit
  • Hermaeus Mora , god of Forbidden Knowledge
  • Hircine , god of Hunt. Some place Hircine with the Aedra though he was created by Daedraris.
  • Malacath , god of War
  • Nocturnal , goddess of Darkness
  • Peryite , god of diseasea and despise
  • Sheogorath , god of Madness
  • Vaermina , goddess of Nightmares
  • Sanguine , god of Debauchery
  • Beliar , god of Chaos. Though created by Aedraris, Beliar is regarded as the fallen Aedra, embodying Chaos after the disappearance of the his master Aedraris.

Divines

The divines are those with mortal origin that ascended to godhood by the acquisition of divine powers. Little unites these individuals other than their origins.

Mundra

Mundra are those with divine power that were created intentionally by Mundus. The only known Mundra is Nex, lord of the Soul and Mortality.
