The Main Pantheon
Benedict—Master of War
Benedict is the god of war, law, and discipline. He governs conflict conducted under rules, structure, and responsibility. Soldiers, officers, and enforcers honour Benedict when force must be used without chaos or cruelty. He teaches that violence must be controlled and accountable, and that discipline prevents destruction. Benedict represents order maintained through training, restraint, and clear command.
Bleys—The Laughing Blade
Bleys is the god of courage, loyalty, planning, and shared resolve. He represents bold action supported by preparation, trust, and morale. Adventurers, scouts, and companions honour Bleys before dangerous undertakings and after shared success. He teaches that fear is natural, but courage is a choice strengthened by planning and fellowship. Humour, celebration, and shared stories fall under his influence as sources of resilience.
Caine—The Quiet Shield
Caine is the god of peace, restraint, and defence. He represents vigilance, patience, and the strength required to prevent violence. Guards, peacekeepers, and veterans honour Caine when holding borders, maintaining truces, or standing watch over fragile stability. He teaches that peace is not passive and that restraint is a form of power. Caine embodies endurance and the quiet labour of keeping conflict contained.
Corwin—The One Who Sets Things Right
Corwin is the god of truth, justice, and rightful authority. He represents the belief that power must answer to moral responsibility and that wrongs can be set right. Corwin is honoured by judges, rulers, advocates, and those who seek fairness in law and governance. He teaches that authority without integrity is illegitimate and that justice exists to restore balance rather than to satisfy cruelty. Corwin stands as the moral centre of public life and is widely respected across cultures.
Dara—The Mother
Dara is the goddess of fertility, motherhood, and the continuity of life. She governs birth, growth, nourishment, and the survival of families and communities across generations. Dara is honoured by parents, farmers, and caregivers seeking health, abundance, and protection for the future. She teaches that life requires patience, care, and endurance. Dara represents growth through nurturing rather than conquest.
Deirdre—The Binding Heart
Deirdre is the goddess of love, devotion, and loyalty. She governs bonds freely chosen and sustained through trust, sacrifice, and honesty. Deirdre is honoured in marriage, partnership, reconciliation, and moments when commitment is tested. She teaches that love gives meaning to duty and that loyalty must never excuse harm or falsehood. Deirdre represents the emotional ties that hold families, communities, and alliances together.
Eric
Eric is the god of power, fire, and authority. He represents command, ambition, and the enforcement of order through strength and influence. Eric is honoured by rulers, generals, financiers, and those who wield control over people or resources. He teaches that stability depends on decisive leadership and that power must be exercised boldly or lost. Eric is lawful, but he values results over ideals and respects strength above intention.
Fiona
Fiona is the goddess of magic, knowledge, and mastery. She governs arcane power in all its forms, from theory and study to practice and creation. Fiona is honoured by mages, scholars, and those who seek control through understanding. She teaches that magic is a discipline requiring precision, foresight, and restraint. Creation without comprehension is dangerous, and power without mastery is failure. Fiona represents magic as a system to be understood, not a force to be indulged.
Flora
Flora is the goddess of chaos, excess, pleasure, and social disruption. She represents indulgence, celebration, temptation, and the breaking of rigid norms. Flora is honoured during festivals, revels, and moments of release. She teaches that restraint without relief leads to stagnation and that joy, desire, and disorder have a place in human life. Flora is not destructive by nature, but she delights in upsetting control and exposing hypocrisy.
Gerárd
Gerárd is the god of strength, endurance, protection, and survival. He represents physical resilience, guardianship, and the ability to endure harsh conditions. Gerárd is honoured by protectors, labourers, healers, woodsmen, hunters, and frontier folk who live close to the land. He teaches that strength exists to shelter others and that survival is a responsibility, not a conquest. Gerárd bridges civilization and wilderness through practical care and steady defence.
Llewella
Llewella is the goddess of the sea, tides, and movement. She governs oceans, coasts, and the rhythms of travel and change. Sailors, traders, and coastal peoples honour Llewella when navigating uncertainty and distance. She represents freedom, flow, and adaptation, as well as danger and unpredictability. Llewella teaches that survival often depends on learning to move with shifting forces rather than resisting them.
Vialle
Vialle is the goddess of wisdom, craftsmanship, and patient creation. She represents work done with care, attention, and restraint. Artisans, builders, and caretakers honour Vialle when shaping things meant to endure. She teaches that quiet mastery and steady effort matter as much as brilliance. Vialle values longevity, restoration, and dignity in labour.
Other Dieties
Brand
Brand is the god of chaos as annihilation and total destruction. He seeks the breaking of order, meaning, and continuity for its own sake. Brand does not represent freedom or change, only collapse and ruin. His worship is outlawed and feared, as his influence threatens society and the world itself. Brand embodies the side of chaos that must never be tolerated.
Doloric
Doloric represents suffering, trauma, and pain misunderstood as divine intent. During the Cataclysm, when destruction and loss were widespread and relentless, many people believed such suffering must have a purpose or will behind it. Doloric became the name given to that belief. He is not honoured as a true god, but remembered as a mistake born of fear, grief, and the need to explain overwhelming pain. Doloric stands as a warning against turning catastrophe into doctrine and against justifying cruelty, despair, or punishment as sacred.
Dworkin
Dworkin is the god of dangerous knowledge, fractured insight, and creation without restraint. In the age leading up to the Cataclysm, Dworkin pursued understanding beyond safe limits, uncovering truths that strained both mind and world. His work is widely believed to have contributed to the instability that culminated in the Cataclysm, though accounts differ on whether he acted out of arrogance, desperation, or misguided hope. After the Cataclysm, Dworkin came to represent the cost of knowledge divorced from wisdom. He is feared rather than worshipped, serving as a warning that understanding without restraint can unmake what it seeks to master.
Mask
Mask is the god of secrecy, deception, and hidden corruption. He represents power exercised through concealment and the erosion of trust from within. Mask works inside institutions, identities, and beliefs, undermining them quietly. His worship is secret and dangerous. Mask is feared as an internal threat rather than an open enemy.
The Binder
The Binder represents stabilization, repair, and the act of holding together what is at risk of coming apart. During the Cataclysm, The Binder was brought into being. Fiona shaped The Binder into a god-like force in an attempt to stabilize the Lattice. In the years that followed, The Binder played a quiet but vital role in stabilizing magic, supporting rebuilding, and allowing societies to endure. It was never meant to rule or to demand devotion. In the present age, The Binder is remembered with respect, though rarely worshipped, as its work has faded into the background of a more stable world.
The Unicorn
The Unicorn embodies nature, balance, and wild order. She represents life that persists without law, hierarchy, or control. The Unicorn is not worshipped through temples or priesthoods but honoured through respect for the natural world. Druids and guardians follow her example rather than her commands. She stands apart from divine politics and reminds mortals that balance does not require authority.
