Pantheon & Factions



Greater Gods:

Mortus: God of Death
Mortus is often depicted as a pale sharp featured man with patches of black panther flesh in his features. Although drawings of the god are rare. More often symbolic references are depicted which range from coffins to skulls. No matter the depiction a drop of blood red liquid is always depicted in the center of the symbol. For it is said Mortus breaks the bond between soul and blood eternally separating the mortal body from the immortal soul.

Followers of the god of death partake in a wide variety of death rituals and sacrifices that vary by region. Virgins, animals, and even the practitioners themselves are all worth sacrifices. Worms, maggots, and flies are all common place adjuncts to these followers who are masters of necromantic arts. While some would argue the animation of dead an insult to the god of death others consider it the highest tribute imaginable. 

Mortus often allies with appellation gods of thievery, assassination, shadow, and chaos.

Adepts often have rotting flesh and dwell in the land of the semi living...

Eternitous: Father Time

Eternitous or more commonly known as Father Time has revealed himself to mortals in forms ranging from a senial old man with a thick white beard to a child with uncanny wisdom. Statistics claim the ancient god enjoys portraying himself in youthful forms more often. The hour glass is typically seen as the symbolic representation of the master of time however regional variances will produce time totems, clocks and sun dials.

Followers of Eternitous tend to seek wisdom and patients allotting for movement much slower than their mortal counter parts. Patients is preached as a virtue and often followers perform intense rituals for extended lengths of time.

Eternitous allies with appellation gods of life, light, order, and luck.


Kar'tir: God of Humankind
Kar-tir is a major power broker on the planet of Kaelist. Only ever manifesting himself as a nimbus of greatness. That leaves those who looked upon it blind. Legand says those blinded souls have became an elite monastic order who birth demigods. Kar-tir is universally symbolized by a flaming spiral.

His followers are aggressive unapologetic worshipers who tend to spawn jihad in every society they take root in. They acticaly promote urban sprawl. Excelling at the procreation of large societies, fueled by magically enhanced social programs. Socialism, and communism are very typical forms of government for whorshipers of Kar-tir. Mandated state run birthing programs are very common. Females often have birthing schedules and genetic planning is very active.

Ceremonies for Kar-tir followers often center around orgies where ritual magic increases furtility. It has been said that demigods of Kar-tir can enter a village and impregnate every woman no matter their age instantly. Sacrifices are strictly forbid. And human life is held above all else in the world.

Kar-tir often allies with the god of Life, the god of Abundant Harvests, and the god of Magic.

Evelar: Goddess of the Fey
Evelar is renown in all the universe for her wisdom, sense of mirth, and cleverness. So subtle is she that no mortal on Kaelist has laid eyes upon her yet her creations abound the planet in the form of elves, eladrin, pixies, faries, and gnomes to name a few. Her worshipers are many and he is not shy about manipulating them to enact her bidding. Of all the interstellar, or greater, gods whose influence touches Kaelist hers is the most active.

Evelar is symbolized most commonly on Kaelist as a three leaf clover. Although planar travelers will tell of her symbols ranging from everything between horseshoes to rainbows. Often she is mistook for the god of luck although unlike the god of luck Evelar has a dark side. For she created and thus is worshiped by trolls, and gremlins. Her home the Fey wild is as dark as it is bright and followers would be wise to know the flip side of the clover as it is known by the common folk.

Evelar allies with all gods, except for Kar-tir, for she is too tricky for any appellation god to oppose her. Kar-tir and her have a bitter rivalry which is most oft contested over the soals of the human elfs cross bread… cleverly named half elf.

Omnius: God of Orcs and Goblins
It is said that when all of creation was done the Greater gods gave Ominus a heap of trash to build his followers with for they feared him as the most skilled master of creation. The first thing created by the greater gods was a prison the common folk call hell so that they could keep Ominus away as they created their races and worlds. Ominus who had watched the creation of the other races in a this prison escaped and took up his broken bits of incomplete matter and created a series of spiteful races to harry the other races of the worlds.

Followers of Ominus are often Orcs and Goblins yet Ominus has created thousands of races out of the interstellar waste the other gods left him. More often than not misguided children of all races who have been bullied find comfort and power through worshiping Ominus.

Ominus’s symbol is a rusty spike or nail, which symbolized the erosion of society or the construction of spite through rejection and neglect. 
Ominus allies with the gods of Death, Corruption, Trickery, and Shadows.

Appellation Gods:

Solarthorn: Goddess of Magic
Solarthorn the Goddess of Magic is known for her brash exterior and diabolical interior. Much like magic the goddess is fluid and chaotic and followers learn it is better to guide the powers she grants them rather than attempt to control them. While other gods covet their worshipers Solarthorn teaches hers with harsh lessons that often leave them burnt, blinded or dead. Those who survive are rewarded with cosmic power so riveting they almost always reshape the world with her gift.

It has been whispered that the goddess is insanely jealous and will not hesitate to kill any who she feels could threaten her power. Solarthorn manipulates mortals as often as she changes female lovers, which may explain why it is that female magic users are the most powerful and most tortured of her followers.

Solarthorn's symbol is a red flaming moon with a black crow in the center of it. It is believed Solarthorn oft allies with Kaelin, whom she its thought she has known since childhood. Though she disputes his existence.

Other allies include Father Time, Pox the god of thieves, and Claudias the goddess of deceit.

Kaelin: God of Shadows
Nothing has ever been written about this God. His very existence is disputed by scholars.

Zaherts: God of War and Battle
As a mortal Zahertz reined as arena champion in the infamous Shelledrock arena for a record setting two decades. He left his home in the arena to serve as general to the legions of righteousness in the Justice Wars when Shelledrock fell in to civil war and eventually sacrificed himself to the depths of hell in order to close the portal which haunted his beloved country. After a century of constant warfare and torment in hell the demons banished Zahertz. Forced to return to the mortal plane he challenged the gods themselves in a war that wracked all the lands of Kaelist for years. He claimed immortality and destroyed three gods opening the way for Lavoxen, god of Valor, to join him as a lessor god.

Scholars say Lavoxen and Zaherts were arena adversaries who respected each other so much they became friends as they constantly tried to kill each other. Followers of Zahertz train in the arts of combat, be it mortal, arcane or divine. Zahertz has taken the symbol of a golden sun although some followers represent the god with a flaming gauntlet to symbolize his time in Hell.

Zahertz is most closly allied with Lavoxen and it should be noted that he is the former lover of Silvanna who fell in love with Cardinal while awaiting Zahertz’s return from Hell.

Pox: God of Thieves

Cardinal: God of Tricks and Merriment
As a mortal Cardinal took the grace and merriment offered to him as a son of Evelar and rose to the top of the mortal world. More than just grace and merriment did he take from her though as his twisted and backstabbing ways helped him to ultimately snub his interstellar immortal mother and leave her service. As a demigod he become an immortal himself. Albeit a lesser god. Scholars say Cardinal backcrossed his mortal companions, tricked his enimies, and betrayed his mother all while bedding Silvanna, goddess of luck. Since his bold move the god of tricks and the lady of luck are seldom out of alliance and their off spring, usually half elfs to spite Evelar, wantonly roam the land meddling in the affairs of mortals.

Cardinal’s symbol is that of a Jester, although many draw it as an angry jester and curse his name for betraying the greater gods, desecrating the once pristine silvanna, and tormenting their lives.

Claudius: God of Deceit

Lavoxen: God of Valor

Grien: Goddess of the Harvest
