The Gods

The gods of Nerna are varied, powerful, and have influence on the world itself. This page will go over the various gods of the world, as well as the Priest Domain that they are associated with.

Gods of Light
This section will cover the Gods of Light in Nerna, each one following a specific path.

Imperio, God of Justice and Valor
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Good |

Imperio is the main leader of the Gods of Light, and often the one most paladins worship. Imperio often stands for the virtues of righteousness and all that is pure, but can lead him to making anger-fueled decisions.

Gloria, Goddess of Hope
| Domain : X | Alignment : Neutral Good |

Gloria is a goddess many priests, especially ones focused on healing, and is often someone lost souls will go to in order to find a way. She is a virtuous woman who encourages the best of the Light’s followers.

Acies, God of Wisdom
| Domain : X | Alignment : Neutral Good |

Acies is often upheld as a teacher god, and those who uphold his teaches are those who wish to spread his wisdom across the land. Often, his teaches involve the idea that knowledge, without proper wisdom, can lead to ruin.

Stetyx, God of Death
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Good |

Stetyx’s job is to make sure the mortal’s soul can move on. If a soul isn’t claimed by another deity or patron, and the soul wasn’t stolen, then Stetyx will go in and shatter the soul once and for all, allowing that soul to eternally rest. Those who worship him are often morticians who prepare souls for the god, to help ease them into eternal rest.

Gods of Darkness
These gods often exist in the darkest places of the world of Nerna, and they have quite an influence on the world, with some churches devoted to them.

Derius, God of Terror
| Domain : X | Alignment : Neutral Evil |

Derius often looks like a shadow-laced demon, but he is very much a Dark God. He is known for bringing nightmares unto the world and, should he have his way, the world would be laced in eternal nightmare. However, his power is limited to a few followers, who spread his will to upon unsuspecting foes.

Eranor, God of War
| Domain : X | Alignment : Chaotic Neutral |

Eranor is a large, fiery being, who looks like a gigantic dwarf with a beard of flame, and skin of black stone. However, his will is that of pure rage and warmongering. He wishes to cause an eternal conflict where creatures, from mortals to gods, are in constant war. His followers, from individuals to societies, tend to lean in this idea, and are highly aggressive.

Mesopitian, God of Sin
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Evil |

Mesopitian is an interesting god, as he’s often a crafty bastard, known for being snide, sneaky, and often untrustworthy. However, what is known about him are his Lieutenants, the Demigods of Sin. Each one is built off of a deadly sin: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. His followers often invoke one or more of the demigod’s power.

Chinsai, God of Knowledge
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Neutral |

Chinsai is the least evil God of Darkness. His goal is to acquire and archive all knowledge of the universe. He also has a pocket realm which is known as Libraryrinth. He and his underlings collect, store, organize, and make sure every single piece of information they can get their hands on. Often, Chinsai will make deals with mortals that, if they give him information, he will allow them to explore and read his library.

The Elemental Lords
These gods aren’t technically apart of a pantheon like the Gods of Light or Gods of Darkness. Rather, they dominate their element and rule over it as their domain.

Vulcanis, Lord of Fire
| Domain : X | Alignment : Chaotic Evil |

Known as the most aggressive of the bunch, Vulcanis is known as aggressive, destructive, and overall someone who wants to watch the world burn. The Realm of Fire is filled with lava, volcanos, fire, and a variety of fiery beings, all of which serve him loyally. The followers of Vulcanis often speak about how, one day, Vulcanis will be free and bring a purging fire across the land.

Syndora, Lord of Frost
| Domain : X | Alignment : Neutral Evil |

Syndora is cold, yet collected. While not as aggressive as Vulcanis, she is still just was hungry for conquest. However, she knows better than to break in and attempt something like that. Rather, she bides her time, waiting for the world to be weakened so she can break in and conquer.

Yamons, Lord of Earth
| Domain : X | Alignment : True Neutral |

Yamons is a gentle giant, as he has no intentions of taking over the land, but rather wishes to maintain peace and keep to his own realm. Those who have met him often describe him as being massive, yet calm. His followers often maintain a more peaceful lifestyle, only resorting to fighting when all other options have been exhumed.

Uragano, Lord of Winds
| Domain : X | Alignment : Chaotic Neutral |

Uragano is a very charismatic fellow, with a voice that sounds charming, and with a vocabulary that is delectable. However, he’s also a man who seeks to conquer the world through storms, and to make it so only those who can survive his disasters can survive. Often, his followers use his winds as a tool of warfare, as only certain Avianos worship him vividly.

Other Deities
These are a list of miscellaneous gods that have some influence, but aren’t as prominent as the other three groups listed before.

Shinrana, Goddess of Nature
| Domain : X | Alignment : Chaotic Good |

Shinrana is a free-spirited god who mainly wishes to stick to her realm of the forests, watching over them and making sure the circle of nature maintains its course. Otherwise, she tends to be incredibly lax, allowing stuff like hunting, as she sees it as a natural part of the cycle. However, attempting to destroy her forests, be it by chopping down trees or, worse of all, burning it down, she will become furious, and being at Shinrana’s mercy isn’t the best.

Asgoritha, Mother of Dragons
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Good |

Asgoritha is a being very few, not even the dragons that live, have seen. Some depictions are that of a five-headed dragon, with each having different colors. Regardless, almost all dragons worship her as their deity, and some mortals have also come to her worship. Often, priests of Asgoritha have a general understanding of dragons and their power overall.

Maradin, Mistress of Magic
| Domain : X | Aligment : Lawful Neutral |

Maradin is known as the mother of all magic, even giving birth to the original elves, whom the High Elves are descendants of. Her job is to maintain the ley lines of the realm and to make sure they remain stable. She continues this job well into the current age, and the clerics who worship her will do the same.

The Demon King
| Domain : X | Alignment : Lawful Evil |

Hailing from the realm of demons, the Demon King is considered the ultimate demon.and the ruler of the armada. Although, as of late, prayers cannot reach the Demon King, their are plenty of Demon Masters that can take up the mantle, and often those who worship the Demon King are considered evil, psychopathic, and extremely devote to bringing the armada in.
