The Righteous Pantheon

When the Legaran invaders made landfall in the fabled land of the Setting Sun they expected to find great teaming pagan hordes, so certain were they of their primacy in the gods' favor. Thus is was an immeasurable blow to their egos that all but the most isolated cultures of Occidentia worshipped their same pantheon of gods. Even in vile Capetia their triple god was recognizably three of the their gods worshiped as a single entity.

Mythology & Lore

While some of the gods of the Righteous Pantheon were among those beings who created the world entire, most are mortals who ascended upon death. Each god has a conceptual precept they must uphold and care for in the mortal realms. Failure to do so will result in the god falling from the position and their followers becoming heretics. This generally leads to a bloody civil war within the organized churches of the Righteous Pantheon and an attempt to purge all heretics. Following this a new god must be found among mortal men to replace the fallen old. This is a slow process during which time the god's precept is left unguided and vulnerable.

Worship

The Righteous Pantheon is the major religious patron of all of Occidentia. They are stewards of the natural order and represent civilization and nature harmoniously working to produce a home for humanity.
