Bellona - Goddes of War, Strategy and Tactics

However after Dispater usurped his throne she is now married to him who fathered the rest of her children.
Hecate - God of Magic and the Realms
The god which brought the gift of magic to humans and halflings. He is old, wise and strict about the laws of magic bestowed upon mortals.

Lesser Deities
Diana - Goddess of Protection and Twilight.
Diana cares for all mortal lives and extends her protection to all innocent lifeforms. Despite her benevolence she does not have a high following of worshippers. Many mortals feel that she failed to protect them from the Harrowing. Yey she still remains, persistent in her duty to protect mortals from the dark evils of the world.
Vulcan - God of Invention and the Forge
The stubborn inventor god brought the knowledge of creation to the humans and halflings. His gift allowed them to craft sophisticated roads, cities, weapons, armour, alchemy and to become powerful enough to rival elves and longzhu. He always seeks to create new inventions to gift his followers.
Tempestas - God of Seas and Storms
Loved and feared by fishermen and sailours alike. Tempestas can make a life at sea either calm and joyous or violent and treacherous. His mood is as fickle as the sea he commands, if an offering isn't quite up to his standards that day a storm is almost certain to wrack the waves.
Orcus - God of Death and ruler of Hades
Once a powerful deity that guided the souls of the dead to their resting places and former husband of Ceres. Now a bitter and resentful god of death, ruling over the Underworld. Father to Boros, Tempestas, Vulcan, Laverna, Bellona and Cadon. Corrupted by the souls of evil, twisted individuals he now rules over their resting place.
Dispater - God of the Grave and Passing of Souls

Now the god of Graves tends to the souls of those who died, innocent good souls go to Elysium while the wicked and evil go to the Underworld. He is father to Vuna, Diana, Hecate, Faunus, Minerva and Pax who inherited his former domain. He is widely honoured by mortals wishing their loved ones safe passage to the afterlife.
Pax - Goddess of Peace and Unity
Youngest of all the Pantheon, Pax is always striving to end the conflicts between not just mortals but also her family.

Faunus - God of Nature, Animals and Farming
Watching over his dominion of nature within the human realms. Faunus despises what his brothers and sisters have allowed the mortals to do to nature.

Laverna - Goddess of Trickery, Luck and Lies
Favoured by thieves, charlatans, gamblers and merchants. Laverna embraces the unbridled chaos and freedom of the mortal realms. Always playing tricks on her fellow siblings, favourite of her father Orcus and hated by her brother Cadon. Laverna shows little interest in the godly duties the others pride themselves in. She just wants to have fun.
Minerva - Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom
Honoured in ever library, archive, school and university, Minerva bestowed upon humans and halflings her gift of knowledge. The advancements of both races can be acredited to her gifts. She has a strong bond with many of her brothers, sisters and mother, for it is knowledge and learning that allows the mortal races to use the gifts of the other gods.
Virtus - God of Strength, Bravery and Virtue

Justice, the understanding of a good moral code and how to act upon it. Temperance, to understand ones limits and not to over indulge.
