Pantheon of Pavv

Updated

Aspects

Though there are only 9 gods present in Pavv, each of them is capable of appearing in several other forms. These “aspects” are often created to better reflect the values or characteristics of a specific culture.

For example, the death goddess Lyra Mortis the Unwaking is worshipped by the dwarves of Steelcliffe as Niamh the Scornful Widow, goddess of the Forge. Though she appears with a different form and characteristics, they are ultimately the same entity.

Demi-Gods
The immortal children of deities. Though many serve as messengers or agents for their divine parents, some grow and maintain their cults of worship by providing boons and services. It is possible for a demigod whose cult has grown popular enough to ascend to the rank of lesser god. To date, this has only occurred once, in the case of Elara the Luminary.

Titans
Titans are legendary beasts and monsters, often created as servants to the gods. Many exist across the land, though their nature and purpose are often elusive.

Divine-Touched (Heroes)
These near-immortals can draw divine power and strength from those who worship them, similar to the gods. This trait is often gained by the offspring of a god and a mortal, but it has also manifested in normal beings who have amassed a large, devout following. Popular bards, folk heroes, and religious figures have achieved this power.
