Gods and Cults of Thule

There are many gods in Thule: Protectors of cities, patrons of merchants, spirits of forests or beasts, and dark things remembered only by a few savage tribes or vile cults. This is a superstitious age, and humankind is surrounded by mysterious powers. In such a world, people naturally seek to understand the forces around them by giving them names and seeking to win their favor or avert their displeasure. Whether the gods take note of such things or not, few indeed could say, for the gods of Thule are inscrutable.
Gods and other divine entities of this land fall into one of three broad groups:
The Nine Powers: a pantheon of mythological figures who are the gods of the civilized peoples
The Forest Gods: myriad spirits of beast, wood, and weather that are worshiped by many of the savage and barbarian tribes
The Great Old Ones: dreadful prehuman entities that are venerated only by the most degenerate cultists and tribes.
