THE GODS OF FOERE
The official pantheon of the gods of the Foerdewaith include those deities that have been recognized
by the full council of the archdeacons of the High Church, with the approval of the archbishop.
The Gods of Foere – 15

ARCHEILLUS
I
n the early days of the kingdom of Foere, the Overking Macobert (who
claimed descent directly from the sea god Quell) took the throne by
virtue of the laws and customs of Archeillus, god of nobility and rightful
rule. In those days, Archeillus was ranked below only Thyr himself in
the Foerdewaith Pantheon, but as Foere has declined, so has worship of this
god who is so typical of the kingdom and its society. Inroads by the Libynosi
deity Mitra have weakened the God of Rightful Rule, a trend that dates back
to the days of Osbert II over 700 years ago.
Traditionalist families and individuals still worship Archeillus, and though
his faith is now seen as old-fashioned and outdated, his decline has been a
very slow process. He remains revered in many places, particularly in more
isolated provinces. Archeillus even maintains some worshippers in non-

quo, and the implication that monarchs occupy their thrones by the will of

BACCHUS-
DIONYSUS
U
nsurprisingly, Bacchus-Dionysus is an especially popular deity,
though the priesthoods of more severe and conservative faiths
take a dim view of the god and his revels. As the god of wine,
feasting, and sensual excess of all kinds, Bacchus-Dionysus is
a chaotic, unpredictable deity, and his followers are every bit as wild and
untamed. This is not to say that work doesn’t get done, for many farmers,
vintners, and innkeepers worship Bacchus and labor hard in his honor, pre-
paring their harvests, wine, and feasts in anticipation of orgiastic revelry upon
completion. Wine sellers, merchants, and others whose livelihood depends
upon happy customers routinely seek out Bacchus’ blessing and maintain
small shrines to the god in their places of business.

as an elderly man wearing flowing white robes and carrying a
walking staff. He represents the wisdom and patience gained by
travel, and his priests walk the roads alone, offering aid and support
to travelers in need. His priests also act as guides and experts in local culture

CERES
T
he Hyperborean mother-goddess Ceres is one of the oldest deities
still worshipped. Kind, loving, and protective, she is the deity that
the commoners call upon in times of crisis — famine, crop failures,
natural disasters. While Telophus is the god of crops and weather,
Ceres is a deity of the commonfolk, who takes special care of the poor and the
hungry. She is also worshipped in some parts of Libynos, which suggests that
she was adopted in earlier days by the Hyperboreans and introduced by them in
the east as their empire expanded.
Unlike Telophus, Ceres’ portfolio extends beyond simply ensuring good
harvests — the results of those harvests and how they are used are vitally
important to the goddess and her priesthood, for hunger and want can destroy
a community as surely as war and pestilence. Rare among modern deities,
Ceres’ worship includes active benevolence in the form of feeding and
sheltering the needy and caring for the sick, duties that she shares with other
deities such as Solanus. Name: Ceres; The Revered Mother,

DRE’UAIN
THE LAME
D
re’uain the Lame is the gnomish god of crafting and the smithy,
adopted and adapted to human worship by the Hyperboreans
and Libynosi. He appears as a clubfooted gnome with strong but
fine-fingered hands, a long nose, and piercingly curious eyes. The
god’s flame-red hair and beard always appear singed from his labors over the
forge, and he wears an apron covered with soot. His altars consist of complex
assemblages of gears that represent the mechanical workings of the cosmos,
which Dre’uain understands and over which he has mastery.
Many religious scholars consider Dre’uain to be one of the oldest deities,
a surviving child of The Father and The Goddess. As the patron of creativity
and artistic labor, he is worshipped by artisans, inventors, smiths, architects,
and other craftsfolk of all races. He is also associated with earthquakes, Name: Dre’uain the Lame; God of Craft

FREYA
F
reya is the daughter of Njördr, Vanir god of the winds, and is twin
sister to Frey, god of the sun and the hunt. Though a lesser goddess,
her worship has spread across much of Akados, from the Northlands
to the Kingdom of Foere and beyond, due primarily to her association
with love, family, and childbirth. She represents fertility in all its forms, and
in Foere and the southlands she is also a symbol of the cycle of death and
rebirth. In addition to sex and procreation, she also represents the harvest and
the healthy society that results from good crops.
The goddess appears to her worshippers as a beautiful human woman clad
in robes and a cloak of winter wolf fur, as a huntress clad in leather armor
armed with bow and spear, or as a warrior in shining mail with a glowing
sword. In this last guise, she can be seen as a warrior goddess who stands to
defend her people in times of war and want. She also takes the form of a great
bird — usually a falcon — or a great winter wolf. Freya’s priesthood is almost

KAMIEN
K
amien appears as a human or elvish woman with skin like
silvery water — in which guise she is known as the Sparkling
Maiden — or as a great, silver-scaled fish known to the fisherfolk
as Old Widemouth due to her resemblance to a gargantuan bass.
Fisherfolk, bargemen, and river people traditionally toss coins into streams,
fountains, rivers, and brooks to ensure safe passage or plentiful catches.
She is another very ancient deity and, like Jamboor and Ceres, she may
date from the dawn of human civilization or even before, whose worship
spread with the vast Hyperborean Empire. In those days, she was thought
to be mother of nymphs and sprites and a member of the Court of the Fey as
protector of fertility. This aspect of the goddess has been largely forgotten, but
she is sometimes recognized as a goddess of beauty and allure. Courtesans
and sex workers in some communities, particularly those near lakes, rivers,
and oceans, still say prayers to her and carry her charms.

KUDRAK
K
udrak appears as a handsome, kindly-faced human armored in
silver plate mail but bare-headed, equipped with a large silver
shield and massive stone hammer. He is a guardian and protector
of the commonfolk, worshipped by guards and watchmen, and by
farmers, and seen by the faith as the “protectors of the fields.” Kudrak is also
revered by some wizards who focus on abjuration and protective spells.
Battle and skill in combat are important parts of Kudrak’s portfolio, for
both are vital to his followers’ mission of protection and guardianship.
Clerics of Kudrak consider themselves defenders of their community and
are always willing to assist the city militia in any manner. Almost as many
paladins worship Kudrak as clerics, and his priests often have some training
as paladins as well.

MITHRAS
M
ithras’ faith originated in the lands of
Jaati, where he is one of the major gods
of the Gohtra Pantheon and sits in the
eighth of the Thirteen Thrones. In that
pantheon, Mithras leads the armies of the gods against
the forces of chaos and the demon armies of the under-
world. History does not say exactly how the worship
of Mithras came to be adopted by the legionnaires of
Hyperborea. However, it does record that the legions
sang paeans to Mithras at the Battle of Hummaemidon,
years before the empire first sent armies into Libynos.

MITRA
M
itra is the immensely powerful god of the sun, law, and justice.
He was originally a major deity of the Gohtra Pantheon and is
still worshipped as the Seventh of the Twelve in modern Jaati.
Initially taken up by the Hyperboreans, Mitra’s worship has
since spread across the world, today supplanting the worship of Hyperborean
gods such as Muir and Thyr in many areas.
Mitra’s worship cuts across all social, cultural, and economic lines, and
he is as likely to be revered by simple peasants as by powerful nobles and
monarchs. His clergy can be found almost everywhere, tending to tiny
villages or vast and ancient metropolises. He is depicted as a noble, strong
man of middle years clad in a simple copper robe and wielding a longsword,
his features appropriate to the land and people where he is worshipped. In
the Gohtra Pantheon, he is portrayed as crowned by the rays of the sun, and
his sacred creature is the noble lion. Mitra’s worship includes the feel of a
mystery cult as well, for initiates are only slowly granted access to his truth Name: Mitra; God of Law, Justice,

a goddess of martial excellence, representing the

bloodstained sword, which also serves as her holy symbol. She
is the tireless foe of all evil creatures, and she has sworn enmity

OGHMA

ghma appears as a handsome traveling minstrel, with dress and

by a beautiful flute player who is Dame Torren of the Four Winds.
He always bears a finely crafted harp whose music charms all

(Though Note is recognized as a Hyperborean deity and accompanies Oghma,
he has, for some reason, never been incorporated by the High Church into the
pantheon of the Foerdewaith.)
Oghma is a peaceful god who disdains combat, preferring to let his song

fights skillfully, armed with his mighty singing and dancing longsword Tune

PEKKO

ekko, master of brewing, ales, and other intoxicants, has long been
venerated by dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, but over the last
thousand years has gained widespread worship among other peoples,
even being adopted into the mostly human Foerdewaith pantheon. He
is portrayed as a rotund, smiling gnome, halfling, human, or dwarf (depending
upon his worshippers) clad in a leather apron and bearing a beaker for sam-
pling ale. He is often shown holding a staff, with a barrel of ale slung over one
shoulder. This god is somewhat mercurial and can be prone to grim brooding
on the sadness and cruelty of the world, but he is always quick to return to his
good mood.
In recent years, worship of Pekko has increased at the expense of Bacchus-
Dionysus and Pan. While followers of those gods tend to favor disruption and
violence, revelry in Pekko’s name tends to put more emphasis on enjoyment
and celebration.

said by some to be a child of The Goddess), Quell first came
to real prominence with the rise of Macobert. The first
overking of Foere claimed familial descent from the sea god,
and with the spread of the Hyperborean Monarchy of the Foerdewaith,
Quell’s worship also spread across Akados to many different kingdoms
and cultures. He is the patron of sailors, seagoing adventurers, merchant
captains, and all those who live near or derive their livings from the sea.
Many port cities across Akados have at least a small temple or shrine
dedicated to Quell, and larger cities boast full chapterhouses where
sea priests perform blessings for ships, sailors, or entire fleets. Priests
of Quell are practical mariners themselves, with expert knowledge of
weather patterns and local conditions. Priests may sometimes serve

SOLANUS
K
ind and benevolent goddess of the sun, Solanus was another deity
of the old Hyperboreans that survived the fall of the empire and
the rise of new powers. She is also a goddess of healing, and her
faithful often serve as army medics, and once comprised an entire
Hyperborean legion. Solanus’ priesthood established hospitals in the largest
cities of the empire, and some of these survive to the present day. Rural areas
could not support such hospitals, so the scattered local clergy were generally
left to their own devices and had to develop independent practices. The
tightly organized, hierarchical urban clergy saw the individual, inconsistent
approaches of the priests in villages and small towns as distinctly inferior
and looked down on them as disorganized provincials or outright country
bumpkins.

STRYME
T
he dwarven god of strength, Stryme (spelled “Strym” by the
dwarves themselves) has grown in influence among non-dwarves
who respect physical might, protecting the weak, and excellence
in battle. In dwarven art, Stryme is portrayed as a square-featured
male dwarf warrior with a square-cut beard and unassuming, utilitarian
armor. He bears his mighty warhammer Strongarm, with which he is said to
have slain the demon lord Adrael.
Stryme is very dwarfish in his outlook, which is to say he is stern and
unyielding, but also fair and kind if circumstances call for it. Worshippers,
both human and dwarven, are required to keep their bodies in peak physical
condition and use their gifts of strength to help those who work the earth and
in defense of the weak or oppressed. Healing is offered at no cost to all who
are wounded while engaging in battle to defend others or to those injured

TELOPHUS
T
elophus is a Hyperborean nature god who embodies the regular
but uncaring nature of the changing seasons. While revered by
farmers and others whose lives depend upon favorable weather and
the harvest, Telophus is not worshipped so much as respected and
propitiated. Prayers to Telophus are not necessarily for good crops but rather
for favorable weather, long planting and harvest seasons, mild winters, and
temperate summers. It is said that Telophus is a jealous god, often unsatisfied
with his worshippers’ acts of sacrifice and willing to test their faithfulness and
resolve whenever it suits him. Strict and uncaring, Telophus demands devotion
but gives little in return save safety from disaster.
Farmers almost universally propitiate this god, though they reserve their
true devotion to more merciful deities such as Ceres or Freya, whom they
thank for their bounty and harvests. These and other gods seem to truly care
for their mortal subjects, while neutral Telophus is little more than a symbol
of the natural processes upon which the world depends. Conflicts between Name: Telophus (Lohfa Who Makes

THYR
T
he living embodiment of monarchy and wise authority, Thyr
enforces a rigid (but also kind and enlightened) class system that
promotes justice, order, and peace. In the distant past, it is said
that all human monarchs worshipped Thyr, at least in name, for he
represented their divine right to rule and the divine obligation of subjects to
obey their rightful rulers. In Thyr’s lawful society, all work toward a common
goal of creating the greatest good for the greatest number. No one, kings and
queens included, is above his holy law, and no one is outside it.
Thyr appears as an old but wise and clear-eyed bearded man of kingly mien,
usually seated on a throne, holding the rod of kingship in one hand and the
chalice of peace in the other. He is served by lawful angelic beings, but his
earthly servants are most often martial priests and sometimes paladins.
Some who have researched the distant past, when the world was still called Boros,

YENOMESH

into the Hyperborean pantheon after the
Hyperborean expansion into Libynos more
than 3,500 years ago. He is portrayed as an ancient,
wizened man in gray robes, his face hidden within its
hood. Legend holds that he was the first to gain knowledge
of the sacred runes of the Language Eternal, and to have
taught them to the gods. He is also said to be the creator
of written language, as he crafted characters for the
language known as “Foundation” that allowed the wisdom
of the Language Eternal to be passed on to mortals and
brought knowledge and learning to the world. All subse-

OTHER GODS OF HYPERBOREA
Not all gods of old Hyperborea have been officially recognized by the High Church as members
of the imperial pantheon of the Foerdewaith. Nevertheless, many of the Hyperborean deities not so
recognized are still worshipped in places in Akados or Libynos or both, even in lands otherwise
subject to the dominion of the High Church. Other Hyperborean gods remain important, for
reasons of history or otherwise, even in the absence of substantial numbers of mortal worshippers.

ADES
A
des, the Hyperborean god of the underworld, was never a
popular god. Nevertheless, all — even the gods themselves —
acknowledge his importance and authority. Stern, unyielding,
and absolutely dedicated to the unwavering application of justice,
Ades oversees the souls of the dead who are sent to the underworld. He
supervises the judgment of the other gods (usually Muir, Vanitthu, and Thyr)
as they dispense justice and dispatch souls to their eternal fates. Ades does not
himself judge, but impartially certifies that the hearings are fair and that all
rules are followed. Those souls dispatched to dwell in the underworld also fall
under Ades’ authority, and it is his job to make certain that they do not escape.
He is master of Cerberus, the giant three-headed hound who guards the gates
of the underworld, and should any souls escape, Ades and Cerberus dutifully
hunt them down. While hunting escaped souls, Ades wears his helm, which
makes its wearer invisible even to the gods or other creatures with magical or

ANUMON
T
he great God of Gates oversees the planes and the passages
between them, ensuring that demons and other creatures of evil
do not invade the mortal worlds, and that all other beings stay
in their ordained places. Anumon and his servants also make
sure that the unworthy are barred from the homes of the gods. Though he
is strictly lawful, Anumon tends toward good behavior. He is also said to
be extremely ancient and to have played a role in the very creation of the
cosmos, helping to establish the laws and teach justice and wise governance
to the folk of the new worlds.
Originally a Libynosi deity, Anumon’s worship was adopted by the
Hyperboreans, who spread it into Akados and to the other areas they
conquered. The widespread nature of Anumon’s worship has led to him
being portrayed with many different guises and faces that resemble the dress

ARDEN (DEAD)
A
rden’s origins and story are somewhat unclear. Some believe he
was an avatar of the Pharaonic sun god Ra, while others believe
he was a lesser deity who aided Ra and served as the primary
sun god to small tribes in the Qesh and Meroë regions of central
Libynos. He was said to have been husband to Vionir the goddess of light
and father to yet another solar god, Arn. It is generally believed that Arden
perished long ago, having sacrificed himself to trap Tsathogga’s hordes deep
beneath the earth (below what are now the ruins of Tsen) when they were
about to be unleashed upon the world.
In surviving art, Arden looks similar to Ra, a hawk-headed, muscular man
wearing a short kilt of precious metals and jewels. His eyes were said to emit
searing beams of sunlight, and he carried a staff tipped with a bronze ankh-
inscribed sun disk. Duplicates of Arden’s staff were carried by his priests. It
is said that his left eye was torn from its socket by Tsathogga and became the
artifact called the Globe of Arden, which was stolen and remains hidden by Name: Arden (Ardorus); The Bright,

ARN
K
nown to be the son of Vionir and commonly believed to also
be the son of Arden, Arn is referred to as the herald of light.
He serves as Vionir’s messenger and has had many cults
throughout the centuries who worship him as their chief deity
as a replacement for his deceased father. Arn has no real organized faith or
permanent temples, but his cults can be found scattered across Akados and
Libynos. His followers constantly seek to recover the remains of Arden,
hoping to fully restore his godhood and cast down the shadows of evil forever.

BABLUKAR
B
ablukar is portrayed as a tall, armored knight with a kindly
expression and gentle gaze. He bears the golden sword that is his
symbol and is clad in polished white armor said to strike blind
the minions of evil. In his endeavors to aid the good and defeat
the wicked, the god is assisted by his winged steed Anduma and a pair of
silver-winged eagles named Naru and Samanda. Bablukar and his servitors
can freely change their shape and appearance, and many are the tales of the

CYBELE
C
ybele’s title of Great Mother is far more comforting than her wicked
reality. Though adopted by the Hyperboreans, she was already
ancient when they took up her worship. Also known as the Black
Goat of the Woods, she is known to be the patron of witches and
creatures of great fecundity, especially those of degenerate or unwholesome
character. Her worship is widespread but secret — practiced by close-knit,
taciturn rustics in forgotten corners of the countryside as well as corrupt,
sybaritic nobles in great palaces. Though her faithful claim she is a champion
of women victimized by hidebound, repressive societies, Cybele truly cares
little for her worshippers’ plight, so long as they appease her with sacrifice
and bloody excess. Her symbol is Lloegyr’s small, dark second moon Sybil,
though she is not truly a moon goddess. Nevertheless, some lycanthropes
venerate her in this aspect.
The lust for power and pleasure is Cybele’s primary appeal, as well
as the opportunity for gain and revenge. Secrecy is one of the cultists’ Name: Cybele (Be-Le the Witch,

DA-JIN
D
a-Jin is worshipped quietly and rarely mentioned in modern
society, though all acknowledge his importance. A god of death
to the Hyperboreans and in certain Libynosi lands, Da-Jin is not
a thoroughly evil deity, but many of his followers seem to revel
in morbidity and stress his more macabre aspects. Several cults of Da-Jin
have caused trouble in Akados of late with their somewhat anarchistic and
violent interpretations of his worship, much to the consternation of his more
conservative and relatively peaceful clergy.
Traditionally, Da-Jin was considered to be evil of necessity, and legends
tell of a somber, quiet god who associated with other evil deities but did not
participate in any atrocities or wicked acts directed at mortals. The simple act
of overseeing the tragedies of death was evil enough for the Lord of Death.
Once a soul had passed beyond the mortal world, Da-Jin was to escort those
who had earned it to eternal punishment, allowing Solanus and the other gods

DIANA
D
iana is a goddess of the hunt and the wilds. She was part of
the pantheon of the Hyperboreans but has few worshippers in
Akados today. Diana is still acknowledged in the Antioch City-
States of eastern Libynos, though her religion is not widespread
there, either. All portray her similarly as a human or elven woman armed with
a mighty bow and clad in the garb of a hunter. She is frequently accompanied
by various woodland creatures that include deer, bears, and birds, which she
traditionally uses as messengers and servitors in her wild realms.
Her portfolio is diverse, including the hunt, the wilds, and the animals of
the forest as well as, in some cases, the moons and childbirth. Legends are
told of her faith and its ancient ways, such as the tradition that her high priest
be a runaway slave who slew his or her predecessor in single combat — a
tradition which fortunately is no longer observed. Having a former slave as a
high priest, though, points out Diana’s other role as protector of the weak, the
poor, and the downtrodden. Prayers are still sometimes lifted to her among the Name: Diana (Artemis); Goddess of the

HECATE
H
ecate is a very old goddess dating back to the early days of the Hyper-
borean Empire and probably even earlier than that. Some historians
point out evidence of Hecate’s worship in the southern reaches of
Libynos before the first Boreans ever set foot outside Boros, and the
followers of the Libynosi god of magic Thasizier claim their deity to be an ancient
enemy of Hecate. Some scholars have attempted to study the parallel development of
Hecate’s worship in such distant areas, but too many records have been lost to give
any more than tantalizing hints.
Two millennia ago, Hecate was the principal deity of the Hyperborean Kingdom
of Arcady; to this day, hidden shrines and tombs still bear her sigil, and isolated
communities still pay her homage, much to the misfortune of lone travelers or
innocent victims. At one time, Hecate’s popularity in Akados rivaled that of
Jamboor, the Hyperborean god of magic, but she fell out of favor due to the bloody
rituals and violence associated with her worship. Today, she is followed primarily
by cultists across Akados and Libynos. The secretive Brood of Hecate is active Name: Hecate; Goddess of Evil Magic,
in southern Libynos and has taken credit for the murder of several prominent Dame of Hell
worshippers of Thasizier and Jamboor.

command of high priestess Akbeth. The army, under the secular command of the
archmage Zelkor, accepted the Hecatites’ aid (albeit grudgingly), and the goddess’s
clerics and Akbeth’s lover — the archmage Agammemnon — proved valuable allies
in the struggle. Nevertheless, it is said that Akbeth somehow angered her goddess
and was imprisoned in the depths of Rappan Athuk, where she remains to this day.
From her dark castle, which floats above the infernos of the Nine Hells, Hecate
inspires and directs her followers, bidding them use the magic she teaches to gain
power and bring down her enemies. Killing and inflicting torment in the goddess’s
name, especially during religious rituals, are considered some of the most sacred
acts for Hecate’s followers. The Wali assassins, in particular, have turned death-
dealing for their goddess into a fine, if bloody, art.

HORGRIM
(DEAD?)
T
he people of Akados and the successors to the Hyperboreans no
longer worship Horgrim, and knowledge of the god is limited to a
few minor works and scraps of larger volumes hidden in obscure
monasteries. In fact, the few scholars who do know his name
believe the god is dead. Some of Horgrim’s ancient spells are still practiced,
however, but those who know them hold their secrets tightly.
Horgrim was most commonly depicted as a handsome male figure in black
robes wielding a short spear. He was a god of war and battle-magic, and his
clerics were often mighty warriors or wizards in addition to their religious
occupations. His worship in the old Hyperborean lands died out with the
empire’s decline, and in most of the world he is all but forgotten. The notable

JAMBOOR
J
amboor is an ancient god of death originally worshipped and spread
throughout the world by the conquering Hyperboreans. Even today,
his influence continues to be felt, though he is not as influential as he
was at the height of the Hyperborean age. Jamboor is no grim or evil
death god, however; his church teaches that death is a natural part of life and
should be treated with appropriate reverence. Individual clerics of Jamboor
sometimes also delve into the mysteries of arcane magic. Monarchs and
nobles actively seek priests of Jamboor to serve as advisors and counselor, for
many offer wise counsel to any ruler without regard to political or religious
affiliation. After millennia, Jamboor’s dominance as god of magic is being
challenged as the traveler deity Belon the Wise makes gains among arcane
practitioners; this is causing much consternation among the Jamboorites
themselves, as they did not foresee its coming.
The priests of Jamboor often explore many avenues of their faith,
including divination and communication with the dead. Auspicious dates Name: Jamboor; God of Knowledge,

KEL (DEAD)
T
he now-lost goddess Kel was sister to Thyr and Muir in the earliest days of the Lost
Lands, when the planet was still called Boros. Most believe Thyr and Muir were
children of The Goddess who were successfully shielded from The Father’s malign
influence and set free by his imprisonment, putting Kel into the same situation. The
triplets watched the earliest humans take their first steps toward civilization and observed as
the Phoromyceaen and Altepetl civilizations rose.
Kel found worshippers among the early humans, though her faith was never adopted by the
Phoromyceaens or Altepetl. Peaceful and kind, her faith emphasized sharing and giving of
oneself and, if necessary, giving up one’s own life so that others could survive. Kel’s sacred
animal was the lowly hedgehog, so chosen for its innate protective abilities. It was said by
Kel’s faithful that though the fox knows many tricks, the hedgehog needs only one good one.

the world, and the name “Kel” appears in a handful of ancient inscriptions, monuments, and
stories, but no one has solved the modern riddle of the third god’s identity.
One alarming religious claim comes from tales told in the north and by a few followers
of the Old Way. They suggest that a small portion of the unknown god’s essence persists,
transfigured by pain, hatred, and the desire for vengeance to create (or perhaps enhance the
power of) the goddess Hel, Lady of Death and Pestilence. Given Kel’s self-sacrificing nature,
it is nearly inconceivable that any of her essence could be twisted in such a way. However,
some of Hel’s worshippers truly believe this story, although they are unaware of the vanished
deity’s true nature and identity. Though gods do sometimes die, on incredibly rare occasions
they may be resurrected, returning to their old positions of power. However unlikely the
event, should Kel ever return, her faith would certainly be reborn, and the very existence of
Hel might lead to a new movement or outright war between what could become rival faiths.

MIRKEER
M
irkeer is the daughter of the goddess Hecate and serves as her
mother’s messenger and personal assassin. After many years
eclipsed by her mother, Mirkeer was given the opportunity to
destroy the shadow demon lord Zariathif, who had offended
Hecate, and take his power. She succeeded admirably in this task, utterly
destroying the shadow demon and absorbing his divine portfolio, as well as
laying claim to the Obelisk of Chaos that Zariathif had (foolishly) erected in
the region near the city of Endhome. As beautiful as her mother and equally
cruel, Mirkeer is the mistress of shadows and can control shadows with a
thought. Venerated by assassins, evil rogues, and dark magicians, her cults are
always secretive and well hidden.
In the Paramountcies region of southern Libynos, the widespread worship
of Mirkeer persists even in the absence of the Hyperborean Empire, though in
that region her name has been altered to Erka, Who Moves in Shadows. Her

MOCCAVALLO
T

to keep their identities hidden, Moccavallo’s true face is constantly
hidden behind a blank, expressionless mask. Even the gods
themselves do not know this deity’s true identity or nature, or even
its gender. Moccavallo is known to be highly capricious and changeable,
arrogant, and untrustworthy, willing to play the gods against each other as it
needs. Many tales are told of how Moccavallo took on myriad identities with
impenetrable disguises, stealing treasures from evil deities and hearts from
good ones, leaving only rage, disappointment, and heartache in its wake.

and navigation. Today, she is worshipped mostly in the hinterlands or by the
druids who still follow the Old Way, while sophisticated city people simply
think of “Narrah” as the larger and brighter of Lloegyr’s two moons.
Narrah has been watched and worshipped since there were folk capable of
doing so, for she is indeed a symbol of the mystery and majesty of the cosmos
and the world beyond. Her earliest followers were the fey and primitive
humanoids, and since that time she has warred with the goddess of the smaller

are done on nights when the larger

other astronomical events such as the
new moon and the double moon, when
Narrah and Sybil are both full, are sacred
to Narrah, and the eclipses and double

Each month when Narrah is new, the
followers of the goddess hold a short

battle the followers of Cybele and defend
against raids by the Nocturnals.

NOTE

his diminutive deity serves as the guard and herald to Oghma,
god of bards. Though normally portrayed as a handsome halfling
or gnomish bard, Note also appears in the guise of a magical,
talking harp. This harp has been known to appear to mortal
musicians to give advice or to aid in important performances; in this guise,
Note may not even tell the musician his true identity, preferring to do good
deeds anonymously.
Though he is closely associated with Oghma, Note has never been
incorporated into the official Foerdewaith pantheon by the High Church.
Reasons for this decision have been subject to much speculation over the
centuries, but no one in a position of authority has ever provided an explanation.
Though Note is usually Oghma’s comedic sidekick, often appearing in tales
to provide a lighter touch to grim events, Note is not always simply a source
of comic relief. His loyalty to Oghma is unshakable, and on many occasions,

PAN
S
aid by some to be the offspring of the strange alien gods Lurz-Urcia
and Shupnikkurat, Pan is also said to be brother and rival of the Green
Father, another wilderness deity. He is primal chaos, the embodiment
of divine madness, and the loss of inhibitions. His worshippers seek
to gain knowledge and enlightenment through the abandonment of civilized
conduct and virtues, giving themselves up to their basest and most primitive
instincts. Some claim Pan has no true physical presence or appearance,
instead being a force of absolute incomprehensible disorder without form or
shape. Others disagree, and those often depict the god as a great, powerful
satyr — usually male, but now and then female — with exaggerated features
and a wild-eyed, often seductive, expression. Pan bears the reed pipes he uses
to drive his followers to madness.
While best known as a member of the Hyperborean Pantheon, Pan’s
worship was spread throughout the world by the ancient advance of the
Hyperborean Empire. In the Delta lands of southern Libynos, for example, the Name: Pan (The Great God Pan, The

SEFAGRETH
O
riginating on the old continent of Boros and considered to be the
father of cities and founder of trade, Sefagreth is a handsome
deity widely worshipped by merchants, tradesfolk, mercantile
captains and mariners, wealthy nobles, and others with a vested
interest in trade and the prosperity of cities. Since peaceful relations between
cities and kingdoms is favorable to trade and therefore creates greater wealth,
followers of the Father of Cities encourage diplomacy, negotiations, and
treaties, earning for themselves a reputation as impartial diplomats and trade
representatives. His priests are usually quite gregarious, often quite wealthy,
and generally have many interpersonal skills, preferring the calm give-
and-take of compromise to drawn swords and bloodshed.
Sefagreth’s temples are also places of commerce where goods can be
bought and sold in a peaceful atmosphere and where honest dealing is
encouraged. Sefagreth’s faithful are, of course, encouraged to gain wealth but

THURSIS
T
he barbaric god of merciless, bloody warfare, Thursis is portrayed
as a powerfully built, red-haired man driving an iron chariot drawn
by four fiendish warhorses. The severed heads of his enemies
hang from the chariot rail, each moaning incessantly. His armor is
archaic spiked plate and glows a sickly green. He bears a poisoned battleaxe
and uses cursed arrows, both of which are said to afflict his foes with infec-
tions and demonic fevers that drive them mad or render them helpless. Other
portrayals show Thursis bare-chested, with his angry features concealed by
a horned helmet. Other times, he is astride one of his demonic steeds, armed
with a bloody battleaxe, and holding aloft a screaming head. The violent god
has been known to abandon faithless followers during battle, even going so far
as to aid their enemies.
No one knows for certain how such a barbaric and bloody deity found
its way into the Hyperborean Pantheon. Most believe he was the god of an
early tribal enemy who, like so many others, was embraced and adopted by Name: Thursis; God of Battle, The

TYKEE
T
ykee is beloved of gamblers and all who partake in games of
chance. She is portrayed as a mischievous-looking woman dressed
in black-and-white or black-and-red bearing either a playing card
or a pair of dice in one hand. In addition to more standard places
of worship, shrines to Tykee may be found in those gaming houses run by her
worshippers, and this is usually a sign that the games are fair, and the house is
unlikely to cheat. In general, gamers are encouraged to be honest themselves,
but cheating is occasionally considered acceptable, such as against an espe-
cially greedy or crooked house.
The Lady of Chance is definitely a goddess of the people, for she
encourages folk to be themselves, not to flaunt their wealth, and to share with
the less fortunate. Clerics of Tykee run several charities and direct part of the
money gained from temple-sponsored games to aid the indigent. Priests bless

few even feature games of skill and

for the honesty of their games. (Cheating
in the dedicated house of Tykee is
considered sacrilegious; cheating at a
non-temple gambling site is somewhat
more forgivable.) Tykee has no specific
holidays devoted to her, but gamblers
call upon Tykee constantly, and any day
when someone wins big is considered
a holy day for this goddess. Her
worshippers make sure to tithe a portion
of all winnings to the church of Tykee.

VANITTHU
T
he grim god Vanitthu is the embodiment of lawful conduct and
neutrality, a deity of judgment and righteous battle for the Hyper-
borean pantheon. He is always shown as an armored male with a
spear made of lightning and a polished mithral shield, though the
armor varies from ancient to modern depending upon the artist’s inclinations.
His face is always shown as square-jawed, with short hair and an intense, mer-
ciless gaze. Vanitthu’s ethnicity and details change from place to place, but the
dark strength of his expression never varies. Statues and shrines to Vanitthu
can be found in military barracks, courthouses, prisons, and in the homes
of officers, judges, and traditionalist nobles. As Vanitthu is a god of law and
authority, he is less popular with soldiers than with their leaders. In Vanitthu’s
view, no one is above the law or lawful command, and those who fail to obey
without question are subject to swift and stern punishment.
Surprisingly for such a relentlessly lawful faith, Vanitthu’s worshippers

VIONIR
T
he Goddess of Light is commonly worshipped by the folk of Bard’s
Gate, though her church is slowly being supplanted in eastern
Akados by Solanus. Farther west, she remains a fixture of temples
throughout Reme and the Vast. Vionir is mother to Arn, the lesser
god known as a god of the sun. She is also said to have been the wife of the
sun god Arden who sacrificed himself to defeat the dark forces of Tsathogga.
How Vionir came to be associated with the primarily Pharaonic Arden is
unknown, but it does suggest the interesting possibility of Borean contact
with Libynos before the Hyperborean expansion.
A goddess of light and goodness, Vionir teaches her followers to heal
and face violence with love, though fighting in self-defense is allowed. The
exceptions to this attitude of nonviolence are minions of Tsathogga or the
undead, which followers of Vionir destroy whenever possible. Her priesthood
engages in many good works, tending to the poor, growing crops to feed the
hungry, keeping streets and buildings clean, and helping those in need. Hers Name: Vionir; Goddess of Light

ZADASTHA
Z
adastha is the Gohtra Pantheon’s goddess of love, and as such is
the most important and beloved of the Noble Gods Who Stand in
the Court of the Thrones. She is also significant as a Gohtra deity
who is widely worshipped outside of Jaati lands. Popular with
Hyperborean merchants and legionnaires, she was quickly adopted due to her
many romantic trappings and overall appeal. She is also worshipped entirely
separately from the rest of the Gohtra gods in many parts of modern Libynos.
Some people even turn to Zadastha for aid in communication outside of
romantic situations, and she has been known to bless diplomats, negotiators,
or others who need excellent speaking skills.
While widely worshipped in Akados, Zadastha faces the increasing
popularity there of Freya as a god of love and romance.
In Jaati, Zadastha is always portrayed as a beautiful woman with a

many of the gods of those pantheons.
N
o demon is better known than Orcus, Prince of the Undead, and few
are more feared. Unusual among demons, Orcus has a substantial
human following, and takes a direct — some might say even fatherly —
interest in the affairs of mortals. Once, in the long-past Age of Kings,
Orcus walked the land under another name: Arvonliet, Prince of Beauty and Lord
of Light. As his name suggests, Arvonliet was uniquely graceful and beautiful, even
among immortals. It was Arvonliet who brought about the decline and eventual
fall of the Phoromyceaen civilization by tricking them into building him a gate that
would provide him with unfettered access to the Material Plane.
This outrage did not go unnoticed, and the three gods Thyr, Muir, and Kel
combined to prevent his triumph and punish him for his crimes. Gentle Kel, goddess
of self-sacrifice, gave her own existence to ensure the fallen god’s banishment,
sacrificing her own lifeforce to raise the Keltine Barrier to bar Arvonliet’s entry.
