Pantheon

The Prime Material plane in which Avendar resides was created by the Overgods Iandir, Jolinn, and Ashur. They in turn created many deities of Their own to help steward Their new creation; over time, yet more deities came from elsewhere or ascended to godhood from ordinary mortality to preside over various aspects of the Prime. All deities ultimately bow to the will and might of the Overgods, though some more resentfully than others.

The deities of Avendar are each immortal beings of miraculous and immense power. Each deity pursues their own interests, purposes, and plans, and the various lineages each have their own presiding trinity of gods that lay claim to that lineage and their destiny, and have heavily shaped the culture and history of those people. Despite this focused stewardship, deities still freely welcome worshippers from any lineage or culture provided they act in accordance with that deity's values. Through their following, religious artifice, and individually chosen immortal divines, deities may enact their designs upon the world in accordance with the ancient Compact laid down by the Overgods.
