[QUOTE="jasamcarl, post: 971732, member: 1251"] [b]The Old/Heretical Gods[/b] These are dieties who are well known, but whose worship is considered heretical by all three major sects because they are not members of the Divine Compact. They are commonly associated with the 'old', decadent world of magic that preceeded civilization as it is known. Their worship and power was wiped off the world when humanoids crusaded against their followers magical followers, mainly fey and giants. Cults to these dieties are thought to exist, but PCs will generaly not know much about them (without a Knowledge(Religion) check) beyond the most general cliches. Even the divine ranking of these Gods is unknown. Brief Summary: The Earth Mother: Known generally as a good diety, acknowlegment of this diety is not considered a sin, though she cannot be directly worshiped, and in fact, is not known to grant spells to any type of organized clergy. Instead, it is said that thanks for her blessing should be redirected to Telmor, her protector. She is thought to be very old, the embodiment of the Earth itself. It is said that she still holds court over the remaining fey, wherever they may be. The Moon Goddess: A god of Chaos and raw, animalistic instinct, her worship is still practiced by isolated villages within civilization as well as the nomadic tribes of the Horselands. These cults convene at night, and pray to (not surprisingly) the moon, thought to be her visible manifestation. Any aknowledgement of her is considered a sin by all the earthly compacts, but especially the D'orites, who see her and her worshipers as a destabalizing force. Both she and her sister, the Sun, were once worshiped by people of the Part Empire as one, and given that the D'orite lands now encompass that empire. The Sun Goddess: The Lawful twin of the moon, both she and her sister are the suppossed children of the Earth. While her sister's worship is geographically widespread, the Sun's adherents tend to be isolated in a few locations, notably D'or, because the followers are not inclined to migration. She is known as the Mistress of the Forests, because the world's plants are thought to be under her care. Considered less blasphemous than her sister, she is still cursed by the desert stricked citizens of D'or. Grummsh: A relatively new diety, he is the barbaric patron of the orcs, who migrated from the distant folds of the Horselands only a few centuries ago. While many orcs have been integrated into the worship of one of the Three Compacts, the most savage and isolated still hold to Grummsh as their key to triumph and exploration. [/QUOTE]
