The Gods

Relligion is a major part of life in Aberddu, the Gods are known entities who speak to their followers and interfere on the mortal plane regularly. They are beings of unfathomable power who hold sway over mortal souls. As such it is difficult to deny their existence but following the tenets of any of the Gods is optional. 

A character can believe in and gain inspiration from as many of the gods as they care for at any given time. However, being part of a God's faith takes a greater level of dedication to a god in both time and devotion. As such, characters can select up to 3 gods to follow.

Clerics are the exception to this rule, the level of devotion required to be granted spells from a god puts such a demand on the character that they can only follow the single deity they are a Cleric of.

The Gods of Aberddu are:

• Aesthetics - Purity of the mind, body and soul. Followers strive for perfection but do not hope to obtain it in this life.

• Amroth - Warfare and honour in combat. Followers protect the weak and seek the destruction of evil wherever it is found. 

• Arioch - Magic and power. Followers seek great magical power and will further this goal whatever the cost.

• Death - Bringing death and dying in glory. Followers do not fear death, they seek a worthy death or they seek to bring death to their enemies.

• Keesoth - Victory at any cost and bloodshed. Followers will stop at nothing to win and succeed their goals. 

• Krynok - Familial affection and hunting. Followers will take care of others, and may hunt and seek worthy foes and prey.

• Life - Living your best life, birth and healing. Followers protect the sanctity of life and the soul wherever they can.

• Sea God - The oceans, naval travel and ownership. Followers show reverence, obtain his blessings before travel and abhor stealing.

• Trickster - Teaching and learning lessons the hard way. Followers seek to teach others through pranks and tricks but not cruelty.

• Vengeance - The cycle of revenge and broken promises. Followers seek their own vengeance, or help others seek vengeance.

• Volcano God - Crafting and destruction leading to rebirth and rebuilding. Followers seek perfection in their arts and repurposing the old. 

• Waarheid - Knowledge and secrets. Followers seek to sate their curiosity, they seek knowledge and learning from all sources.
