Title: Religion Resource Thread
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 05:56:56 PM
This thread is an exhaustive list of supported deities and faiths from official D&D 3rd edition and other d20 sourcebooks, supplemented with some material converted from previous D&D editions.

It is primarily meant to help cleric players to pick clerical domains, alignments and favored weapons suitable to their chosen faith. This thread was expanded to include the portfolios of deities as well as useful details for faiths of other divine casting classes. Be aware that proper domains and alignments for clerics are enforced. If your cleric has incorrect domains, please ask a DM to help you set up your domains properly. Outlander clerics should read the Unspoken Pact section just below the following lists.

Note regarding dead or passed deities.
Despite the ability of the Mists to pull people from different eras into Ravenloft, it is the policy of the server that a deity has to be alive and active during the D&D 3rd edition/D20 timeline of its respective setting to be a valid patron deity option for clerics.

The Unspoken Pact

When a cleric enters Ravenloft from another world, she immediately feels a hollowness slip into her heart, a void that the strength and compassion of her deity once filled. Although clerics continue to receive the blessings of their divine patrons, they no longer feel their gods at their side. This absence often causes clerics new to the Land of Mists to suffer crises of faith or pass through periods of deep depression. For natives of the Land of Mists, this remoteness is perfectly normal; they expect the gods to be distant and inscrutable as a matter of common sense. Some clerics in Ravenloft claim to be the direct vessel of their respective deities, but these folk are widely regarded as madmen and false messiahs.

Without the gods' watchful eyes to monitor all that is said and done in their name, many imported religions experience a "theological shift." As godly legends are passed from one mortal to another, religious teachings often adapt to their new homelands, or even evolve to suit the specific needs of powerful clerics. Tales even exist of clerics who betrayed the core beliefs of their faith yet kept their divine powers. As an example, rumors insist that the grand religion of the Shadowlands, dedicated to the neutral good deity Belenus, is actually steeped in evil practices. Why are the gods withdrawn? Why do they watch in silence as mortals slowly twist their teachings' It may be that the Dark Powers intervene between a deity and its faithful, warping the flow of divine magic.

Ravenloft's theologians have identified one belief that appears in many forms, across many faiths. This belief, which strains mortal comprehension, claims that the gods respect an unspoken pact with the faceless masters of Ravenloft. The gods are not to directly interfere in the ways of Ravenloft's mortals, and the Dark Powers are not to meddle in the ways of the gods. Of course, these collected slivers of a legend fail to explain how the Dark Powers could enforce this pact — surely they are not as powerful as the combined might of all the gods of the worlds.

One final theory is even more extreme. It holds that the Dark Powers have severed their realm from the ministrations of the gods entirely. According to this theory, when mortals in the Land of Mists pray their gods, it is the Dark Powers that reply. Some madmen and heretics claim that a few gods worshipped in Ravenloft — gods who continue to answer the prayers of their clerics — are long since dead. They even insist that some of these gods simply do not exist and never did.
Title: The Ancestral Choir
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 06:02:29 PM
The Ancestral Choir

This Ancestral Choir (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60397.0) is a Kartakan cult believing their revered ancestors not only watch over their descendants, but can intervene on their behalf as well. Offering proper respect to one’s ancestors earns one divine favor in life and secures a place in the Ancestral Choir after death. All cult members must have clear singing voices and are expected to sing praising songs called “mora,” dedicated to their ancestors, once a week.

Title: The Akiri Pantheon
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 06:06:54 PM
The Akiri Pantheon

The Akiri Pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60455.0) is the Ravenloft variant of the Egyptian pantheon as it is worshipped in the Amber Wastes. The gods Ra, Osiris and Set are worshipped above all others. Hidden cults to Apep and Anubis are whispered to be active. The other gods of the Akiri are still offered prayers and reverence but play a lesser role in Akiri life. The Akiri pantheon differs from the Pharaonic Pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg811913#msg811913). This represents the fact that Har'Akir was pulled in the Mists from a more ancient time, and the theological differences due to the demiplane's isolation.

The Celtic Pantheon (Ravenloft variant)

The worship of Celtic deities is well-established in Ravenloft, particularly the cult of Belenus (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=12821.0). It is notably observed among the Forfarian, Nidalan and Tepestani. More details are available in the Forfarian Pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=44241.0) and the Tepestani Pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=44239.0) threads. A large number of elves across the Core also worship the gods of the standard D&D Celtic Pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg811914#msg811914).

The Church of the Lawgiver (Bane)


The Church of the Lawgiver (http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=12803.0) is the Ravenloft variant of the cult of Bane, the Faerunian god of Strife. This god is never called by name but its many titles, notably the Iron Tyrant and the Black Lord. His religion rewards blind obedience and asserts the divine providence of kings. Rigid social stratification is enforced and the Church forbids inter-ethnic and inter-racial marriages. Clerics must perform all holy rites in Vaasi. The Church of Bane is the state religion of Hazlan and Nova Vaasa.

The Church of Ezra

The Church of Ezra (http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=8670.0) formed over ninety years ago when Yakov Dilisnya claimed that a divine entity called Ezra, Our Guardian in the Mists, had given him a message to spread to the world that she was once a virtuous mortal woman who surrendered her mortality to the Mists to become a guardian of mankind. Clerics of Ezra are called anchorites. They are divided in four sects, each has different goals for their anchorites to achieve.

The Cult of the Morninglord

The Cult of the Morninglord  (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=15508.0) is a variation on the Faerunian faith of Lathander based in Barovia. It experienced a theological shift since its inception in the Lands of the Mists. The Morninglord asks little of his followers, save that they treat each other with kindness and retain hope in their hearts.

The Divinity of Mankind

The Divinity of Mankind (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60375.0) is the dominant religion of Paridon. It is an ascetic faith with an emphasis on the attainment of personal perfection in mind, body and spirit, rather than the veneration of anthropomorphic supernatural forces. As can be guessed, only humans are allowed into the clergy. Other races are seen as lesser beings that can't reach the same potential.

The Eternal Order

The Eternal Order (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=12842.0) was once the state religion of Darkon. It nominally aims, through the proper worship of the powers of Death, to delay the Hour of Ascension, the prophesied time when the dead will return to reclaim their land. The faith fell in popularity following the Requiem, but its underlying superstitions remain quite strong amongst the populace of Darkon.

The Faith of the Overseer

This small religion was founded in Martira Bay over a 100 years ago. It stresses community and the hope that divine justice for all is possible in a world that often seems unfair. The religion is centered in the Temple of the Eternal Balance in the Darkonese city of Martira Bay and is led by High Priest Derakoth. They believe that the Overseer does not grant boons, but is witness to all the actions of one’s life and therefore rights any past wrongs in the afterlife. Mortals are expected to offer aid to others whenever possible, and likewise accept aid when it is given. The faith of the Overseer forbids idolatry, so there are no images of the Overseer in any temples or religious texts. The clergy wields no official power and depends on donations to maintain its charities (including hostels and orphanages), but the clergy (called witnesses) possess significant influence over the hearts of many in Martira Bay and have started to spread to outlying communities.

Hala

The Cult of Hala (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=50278.0) does not have a huge following but it is widespread. They are mostly known for the hospices they run throughout the Core, offering rest and healing to all to come to them in need. Rumors abound on the fact that they may be practitioners of witchcraft as well.

The Rajian / Hindu Pantheon

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

The Rajian Faith (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60488.0) and Hinduism are essentially the same religion. Their respective adherents follow the same gods. This faith is a complex and diverse system of thought with a wide variety of beliefs. They believe in the reincarnation of one's soul until it has achieved perfection and can then escape to eternal paradise. The gods listed below are all thought to be aspects of Brahman, the World Spirit enfolding all of existence. In Sri Raji, Kali and Tvashtri are the two most significant gods of the pantheon. This pantheon provides options to characters from the Ravenloft, Gothic Earth and Planescape settings.

Nerull (Erlin)

The Cult of Nerull (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60399.0) was both sanctioned and encouraged by Duke Gundar when he ruled the lands that were once Gundarak. It nearly disappeared when Strahd von Zarovich annexed Gundarak in the aftermath of the Great Upheaval, but has recently been cast by the Gundarakite rebels as just one more element of Gundarakite culture being systematically crushed by Barovian oppression

The Wolf God

The Wolf God (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=12816.0) represents everything the humans of Verbrek fear in nature. This feral deity is worshipped exclusively by werewolves believing that wolves are divine creatures and that all other predatory animals — especially humans — are abominations that must be destroyed.

Yutow the Peacebringer

The Valachani god Yutow the Peacebringer (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60402.0) is held to be a dead, yet still conscious, sylvan deity that guides his people from the moon. The Dead God’s servants are panther spirits and those who bear their blood. The religion is monotheistic, and other religions are called false by Yutow's worshippers.

Zhakata

The Cult of the beast-god Zhakata (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=9086.0) is the state religion of the theocratic and famine-stricken nation of G’Henna. This deity is said to have a dual aspect as both the Devourer and the Provider. Unfortunately, G'hennans have only experienced his Devourer aspect.

Title: Voodan, the Loa of Souragne
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 07:00:19 PM
Voodan, the Loa of Souragne

The people of Souragne are practitioners of Voodan (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=50127.msg613939). They worship neither gods nor nature itself, but rather spiritual entities who fall somewhere in between. These spirits, or loa, number in the thousands, representing all manner of natural forces, locations, or concepts. Many communities even worship their deceased ancestors as loa. The loas listed below are the greatest and most well-known of the Souragnian faith. These spirits serves as patron to characters of the voodan class.

Title: Minor Religions
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 07:02:01 PM
Minor Religions

The following faiths are also present within the Domains of Dread.

Faiths of Kalidnay
The domain of Kalidnay was drawn from the world of Athas (Dark Sun setting (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=27795.msg340963#msg340963)). Clerics from this domain are either followers of Athasian Elementalism or templars of Kalid-Ma (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221151#msg221151), a recluse Sorcerer King that retired within his Ziggurat and speaks his Will only through High Templar Thakok-An. Elemental druids and shamans (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=69411.msg796741#msg796741) may also be encountered but would be rare. There are no voodans from Kalidnay as the practice is considered lost and forgotten.

The Church of Milil
The Faerunian god of songs has a very small following in the domains of Aferdale and Kartakass (specifically in the town of Harmonia). It was briefly a state religion for Kartakass under the rule of Casimir Lukas, but it never became popular as most Kartakans rather believe in the Ancestral Choir. A former high priest of Milil, named Gustav, once stated that Milil had abandoned Kartakass because the people had reduced song and music to weapons of harm and murder.

Worship of the Kami

The inhabitants of Rokushima Táiyoo, the Rokuma, are reverent toward the kami, the spirits that are believed to dwell in all things. They worship at breathtaking natural shrines. Serene shrines both magnificent and humble dot the islands; located on sites of natural beauty and power, they are identified by the sacred torii gates. The kami represent a wide variety of beings, embodying divinities, spirits, mythological, spiritual, natural phenomena, or holy powers. They can be elements of the landscape, forces of nature, beings and the qualities that these beings express, or the spirits of venerated ancestors. To the Rokuma, the most powerful of the kami are the deities of the Japanese pantheon (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221163#msg221163). They serve as the patron deities of clerics and druids. While Rokuma shamans also honor and respect these kami, they get their powers from their dealings with minor kami such as ancestors or natural spirits.

Title: Greyhawk Deities
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 08:23:00 PM
Greyhawk Deities

The gods of Greyhawk are numerous and divided in several pantheons usually based on ethnicity. Some deities transcend pantheons and are worshipped (or feared) through several cultures.
The Rheneees are the only cultural group of the Flanaess without a pantheon of gods. They disdain gods of all stripes, and do not practice divine magic in any form.
Demon-Princes (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221169#msg221169) & Archdevils (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221170#msg221170) are also suitable options for Oerthian clerics.

Title: Dragonlance Deities
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 08:26:46 PM
Dragonlance Deities

The deities of Krynn form three distinct groups. The Gods of Light believe that teaching mortals to love order and law is the way to preserve the balance. The Gods of Neutrality believe that mortals should exist in harmony with the world and make their own moral and faith-related decisions. The Gods of Evil seek to subjugate and control the whole of creation to their will, believing that they should direct the fate of mortals and impose their vision of order on the world. Another deity, Mina, the Goddess of Tears stands apart being a goddess of both Light and Darkness.

Note that the gods Lunitari, Mina, Nuitari and Solinari do not grant clerical powers to their followers. Takhisis is dead and Paladine relinquished his divinity, they may not be selected as patron deities either. Krynnish divine casters must also be from a period of time when the gods are active in the world: before the First Cataclysm; between the War of the Lance and the Chaos War; or after the War of Souls. The Krynnish deities are detailed further in the Other Settings, Dragonlance (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60514.msg707373#msg707373) thread.

Title: Mystara Immortals
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 08:28:31 PM
Mystara Immortals

There are no gods in the Mystara settings. In their place there are Immortals, incredibly powerful beings who were once mortal themselves and now play the roles of deities. Reaching the status of Immortal is an important goal and concept within the Mystara setting. Immortals are divided into five Spheres of Power: Energy, Matter, Thought, Time and Entropy. Together these powers form the quintessential ingredients of the Mystaran Multiverse. Each immortal seek to further the influence of its sphere and keep the power of the other spheres in check.

The Sphere of Energy is usually related to the element of fire. Its purpose is to create more energy and activity.
The Sphere of Matter is usually related to the element of earth. Its purpose is to withstand destruction and decay.
The Sphere of Thought is usually related to the element of air. Its purpose is to understand all of existence and to make all other Spheres its tools.
The Sphere of Time is usually related to the element of water. Its purpose is to promote change in all things while remaining unchanging itself and to maintain the flow of time.
The Sphere of Entropy is not related to any element. Entropy is the weakening of the fabric of the multiverse: rot, weathering, disintegration. It seeks to bring all things to a stop, causing oblivion.

This is a non exhaustive list of Immortals from the Mystara setting. Some minor ones may have been omitted. Immortals worshipped by non-PC races only were likewise not included.
The Glantrian immortal Rad, aka Étienne d'Ambreville, is not listed as he disappeared in the aftermath of the War of the Immortals. He would not have clerics anyway.

Title: Forgotten Realms Deities
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on January 02, 2010, 08:32:33 PM
Forgotten Realms Deities

The Forgotten Realms setting is the most known and developped setting for D&D. The continent of Faerûn figures prominently in the product line, but the setting was expanded to include several other continents through the Kara-Tur, Maztica and Al-Qadim settings. The setting is host to a variety of deities and faiths worshipped in numerous different ways. The following section does not focus on all faiths found in the setting, but on the deities that are valid options as patron deities to PC races.

Demon-Princes (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221169#msg221169) & Archdevils (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221170#msg221170) are also suitable options for Faerunian clerics.
If a particular deity is not listed it may not be used as a patron deity. These gods are either dead in 3e FR, do not have official 3e stats, or would not be worshipped by a PC race.


Faerûnian Pantheon

Chultan Pantheon

In the distant past, the Faerûnian deity Savras divined that, when the Doom of Abeir-Toril would arrive, Dendar the Night Serpent would come to Faerûn through a portal beneath the Peaks of Flame. To prepare for that day, the god Ubtao volunteered to stand guard until this ominous day occurs in exchange for exclusive dominion over the lands surrounding his post. The other gods agreed and Ubtao become the head, and sole member, of the Chultan Pantheon with complete dominion over the peninsula. The only other cult established in Chult is that of Sseth, an interloper and snake-god who had managed to entice some of the human populations to his worship.

When the Imaskari captured the Mulan people and brought them to Toril, the slaves also brought the worship of their deities. With help from Ao, these deities were able to follow their worshipers and end their servitude.

Beyond Faerûn

Maztican Pantheon (Maztica)

The Maztica setting was not updated to 3rd edition D&D. The pantheon is made of 11 divinities: Kukul (god of the stars), Maztica (goddess of the earth and life), Qotal (god of creation, freedom, and pluma magic), Zaltec (god of war, violence, and hishna magic), Azul (god of water and rain), Tezca (god of fire, heat, and the sun), Plutoq (god of stone, clay, and mountains), Kiltzi (goddess of love, fertility, and healing), Watil (goddess of plants and agriculture), Nula (goddess of animals), and Eha (goddess of wind and air).

The male deities are known to be bloodthirsty and demanding of many sacrifices. The female deities are seen as weaker and lacking the gods' thirst for human blood. Of these deities, only Azul has been officially adapted to 3rd edition D&D. The druid class is recommended for any players wishing to play priests of the other deities.

The Path of Enlightenment (Kara-Tur)

The Celestial Empire, also known as the Celestial Heaven or the Empire of Heaven, is the dominant pantheon of the continent of Kara-Tur, especially in the empire of Shou Lung, and the overarching spiritual state managing its gods, immortals, spirits, dragons, and millions of other creatures, all through the Celestial Bureaucracy. All these entities are paid homage through a faith the Shou call the Path of Enlightenment. The path extoll a series of nine virtues that should be pursued to reach enlightenment. Priests of the Celestial Bureaucracy are not dedicated to a particular power of the pantheon, but to all of them as the situation dictates.

There are no clerics of this faith. Shamans make up for an important part of the priesthood. The rest of the priesthood is made up of sohei, an unsupported warrior-monk class.


Zakharan Pantheon (Al-Qadim)

The Al-Qadim setting was not updated to 3rd edition D&D. It is host to a wide variety of deities and faiths divided into the Enlightened and Savage faiths. The enlightened deities are grouped into major or Great Gods, worshiped throughout Zakhara, and local or common gods, worshiped only in a certain region, sometimes just a single town. Savage gods are those opposing these virtues.

The eight great gods are: Hajama (God of bravery), Hakiyah (Goddess of honesty and truth), Haku (God of freedom), Jisan (Goddess of fertility and productivity), Kor (God of wisdom), Najm (God or goddess of adventure), Selan (Goddess of beauty), and Zann (God of knowledge, learning, and intellect). Of the Zakharan pantheon, only Haku, a god of Freedom, has been updated to 3rd edition D&D.

Birthright Deities

The current gods of Cerilia gained their powers when the old gods gave up their existences in order to stop and destroy the evil Azrai at the battle of Mount Deismaar. The deities of Cerilia and their priesthoods are further detailed in the Other Settings, Birthright (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=60786.0) thread.

The demon princes (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=18979.msg221169#msg221169) Baphomet, Kostchtchie, and Yeenoghu are also possible patron options for Cerilian characters.

Dark Sun Religions

Quote from: Note from the PotM Dev team
The traditional divine casters from Athas are the elemental clerics, the druids and the templars (clerics of Sorcerer-Kings). On this server we also allow favored souls (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=58902.msg711811#msg711811), healers (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=58902.msg809459#msg809459), shamans (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=58902.msg796740#msg796740) and voodans (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=50127.0) as native Athasian characters. Favored souls rise from the ranks of the templars whereas shamans and voodans draw their strength from the very same spirits which empower elemental clerics and druids. You may consult the Dark Sun Roleplay Resources (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=27795.0) for more details on the world of Athas.

Athas is a world without gods. The clerics of the Tablelands are either elemental clerics or templars of a Sorcerer-King.

Elemental clerics devote themselves to one particular element and its preservation in the natural world. They gain their powers through pacts with powerful spirits of the land acting as conduits for energy from the elemental planes. The suggested clerical domains for each type of elemental spirits are listed below. A cleric is required to take at least one elemental domain: air, earth, fire or water and can choose any non-elemental domain as its other domain (excluding the Ravenloft-specific domains). Elemental clerics can be of any alignment. The AD&D 2nd edition Dark Sun supplement Earth, Air, Fire, and Water is a recommended read to those wishing to play an elemental cleric. No portfolio is listed for the elemental spirits. Their only concern is to further the influence of their respective elements.

Templars are civil servants within a city‐state's government organization. Each templar swears obedience to his temple, and absolute fealty to his sorcerer‐king, a powerful ruler in the Tablelands. In return, the sorcerer‐king grants them spell power stolen from the elemental planes. In most city‐states, templars are the ultimate authority—judge, jury, and executioner. Templars police and administer the city‐states, and serve other civil roles ranging from general to jailer and from tax collector to garbage collector. The Sorcererer-Kings Abalach-Re, Kalak and Tectuktitlay are dead and no longer grant powers to templars. Though the city of Kalidnay is now stranded within Ravenloft, natives from the domain are still considered as being from Athas for the purpose of determining valid racial and class options.

Athasian clerics may select the mace as their favored weapon for the purpose of qualifying for certain prestige classes.

Title: Eberron Deities

Eberron Deities

The world of Eberron is the host of a wide variety of faiths and beliefs. The deities of this setting do not interfere directly with mortals and their very existence is unconfirmed.  Numerous variations and sects combining aspects of both the Sovereign Host and the Dark Six exist. The following faiths are those available to player characters from Eberron.

Clerics of Eberron are not restricted by the deity alignment rule. They are less likely to fall from grace than clerics of other settings but that may still happen if they grossly violate their ethos.

Melnibonéan Deities

The gods of the Melniboné setting are locked in an eternal battle between Law and Chaos. Above and beyond these warring forces is the Cosmic Balance, which swings in favor sometimes of Law, sometimes of Chaos. In a perfect world the two are stabilized, in delicate equilibrium but the harmony of the Balance is all too lacking throughout the multiverse. The clerics of Melniboné are required to side with Law or Chaos. Forces of balance, Elemental Gods, Beast- and Plant-Lords also exist but those are served by druids. This pantheon is restricted to characters of the Melniboné setting. In this setting, favored weapons are defined by one's nationality, not the deity.

Demon Lords

Demon lords, also known as Abyssal lords, were archfiends who gained great power and established a position of preeminence among demonkind. Over millennia, these demons had amassed tremendous power and authority over their domains. Demon Lords are as numerous as there are layers in the Abyss. Countless of them have been referenced in previous D&D editions and Dragon Magazines entries. The following list focuses on those that made an appearance in 3rd edition D&D and that are known to have cults of mortals dedicated to them. They can serve as patrons for characters of the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Planescape, Ravenloft and Spelljammer settings. Baphomet, Kostchtchie and Yeenoghu also have cults worshipping them in the Birthright setting.

Archdevils

The Lords of the Nine Hells are the most powerful devils in the D&D multiverse. Their main goal is to subvert and subjugate the whole of Creation to their Will. They tempt mortals with offers of power and wealth, delighting in corrupting and sending them down on a path of damnation. The following archdevils are those with active cults in D&D 3rd edition. They can serve as patrons for characters of the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Planescape, Ravenloft and Spelljammer settings.

Nyambe Orishas

Nyambe is a place that combines African mythology, legend, and history with elements of high fantasy to create an exotic land with a distinctly African flavor. Their religious beliefs turn around the orishas, immortal spirits that act as the intermediaries between the mortal races and the Overpower. The priests of Nyambe are the n'anga, technically a variant of the cleric class, but the nature of the orishas also makes the shaman class a good fit to portray them. This pantheon is restricted to characters from the Nyambe setting.

Kingdoms of Kalamar Deities

A diverse pantheon of deities watches over the lands of Tellene. These gods concern themselves with the affairs of intelligent mortals. While they are listed by titles here, they are in fact known by numerous other names through the different cultures of the land. The gods of Tellene do not segment themselves by region or by race. They are far more concerned with their followers' actions and beliefs than they are with race, gender or other physical factors. Because of cultural and racial differences, certain deities appeal more to some races or classes than others. This pantheon is restricted to characters from the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting.

Scarred Lands Deities

These are the main deities of the Scarred Lands setting. In the very recent past, about a century-and-a-half ago, the gods' avatars walked the realm and waged war to overthrow the titans that once ruled over the divine affairs of Scarn. Since their victory, they have been very active and routinely intervene in the affairs of mortals. The setting of the Scarred Lands is also host to numerous demi-gods, but these 8 deities, and the one remaining titan (Denev), are worshipped over all others. This pantheon is restricted to characters of the Scarred Land setting.

Title: Zoroastrianism
Post by: Bluebomber4evr on July 25, 2010, 08:36:40 PM
Zoroastrianism

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

Zoroastrianism, also known as Mazdayasna and Behdin, is one of Gothic Earth's oldest organized faiths, it is based on the teachings of the Avesta and the prophet Zoroaster. It has a dualistic cosmology of good and evil within the framework of a monotheistic-style ontology; meaning that the religion's eschatology predicts the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Zoroastrians exalt an uncreated and benevolent deity of wisdom, commonly referred to as Ahura Mazda, as the universe's supreme being; opposed to him is Ahriman, or Angra Mainyu, who is personified as a destructive spirit and the adversary of all things good. This faith is available to characters from the Gothic Earth and Planescape settings.

Title: Abrahamic Religions

Abrahamic Religions

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

Quote from: Note from the Development Team
While the Masque of the Red Death setting draws inspiration from the real world, it makes no pretense of being a faithful representation of it. Always remember that clerics of any of Gothic Earth's religions within our server are not meant to be accurate portrayals of their real life counterparts. That being said, it is our commitment as a community to be mindful of people's religious beliefs in regards to real life religion as this can be a very sensitive topic. If you elect to play a believer in one of Gothic Earth's religions, you have a responsibility to portray the faith in a respectful manner. Harmful stereotypes will not be tolerated.

The term Abrahamic religions is used here to designate all religions that worship the God of Abraham. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the most widely know, but also included are the Bahá'í Faith, Catharism, the Druze, Gnostic Christianity, the Mandeans, Samaritanism, Rastafarianism and many others. They are mostly monotheist or dualist religions with God being credited as the creator of all things, the source of law and of all that is good.

Abraham was a Hebrew patriarch and prophet. He is extensively mentioned in Abrahamic scriptures such as the Bible and the Quran. Jewish tradition holds that the Twelve Tribes of Israel are descended from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob, whose sons formed the nation of the Israelites in Canaan. Ancient Israelite religion was derived from the ancient Canaanite religion of the Bronze Age, and became firmly monotheistic around the 6th century BCE. Christianity split from Judaism in the 1st century CE and spread widely after being adopted by the Roman Empire as a state religion in the 4th century CE. Islamic tradition holds that twelve Arab tribes known as the Ishmaelites are descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael in Arabia. Islam was founded by Muhammad in the 7th century CE. It was widely spread through the early Muslim conquests.

Though practices and beliefs vary wildly between the various Abrahamic religions, they are still considered to follow the same deity. Given the taint of the Red Death on all magic on Gothic Earth and its inherent danger in using it, followers of the Abrahamic religions normally believe that those who claim to manipulate arcane energies are pagan and in need of redemption.

Note that while the social constraints on female priests of Abrahamic religions on Gothic Earth do not apply to the Demiplane of Dread, such characters should begin play expecting these social consequences. This faith is restricted to characters from Gothic Earth.

Dark Ages Eastern European (Slavic) Deities

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

This D&D pantheon is inspired by the most important deities of Slavic mythology. Slavic gods controlled the elemental forces of nature and all aspects of life. Ceremonies were held to honor the gods and ask for their favor at important times of the year, mirroring the cycle of the seasons. A given Slavic groupe does not necessarily prays to, nor recognizes, the same deities as others. Perun the Thunderer is the most universally worshipped god by Slavic tribes. This pantheon provides options to characters from the Gothic Earth and Planescape settings.

Title: Naranjan Principles
Post by: MAB77 on September 17, 2021, 12:04:00 AM
Naranjan Principles

The religions of the Naranjan setting are inspired by Hindu beliefs. They revolve around the idea of 3 core Cosmic Principles which together embodies the whole of creation, as well as with the idea that souls are in a perpetual pattern of reincarnation until they can reach transcendence. The thousands of deities, or principles as they call them, are each aspects of the Three and the objects of devotions for many. The three dominant religious philosophies in Naranjan are Matyanism (praying to the principles), Pranaism (praying to the Three directly), and Sujahnism (favoring the study of psionic powers). The three major faiths are mutually compatible in that practitioners of each recognize that the others embody some elements of truth-although their tenets may reflect an imperfect or inferior understanding of that truth.

Voodan, the Loa of Gothic Earth

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

The Loa of Gothic Earth (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=50127.msg613942#msg613942) are powerful spiritual beings, gods, and archetypes of human experiences that have enough connection to the material world to still understand and sympathize with humanity. The followers of the Loa also believe in a greater god that created the universe, who is known by many names: Olorun, Onyama, Mau-Lisa and Khardun to name a few, but they also believe that god has more important matters to attend to than providing rain for a farmer’s crops. The Loa are seen as divine servants of the creator god, and it is they who handle the problems of worshippers.

Anglo-Saxon Deities

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

This D&D pantheon is inspired by the beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon cultures of the Dark Ages to the Early Medieval. Precursors to the later age's Norse pantheon, the Anglo-Saxon deities have a matriarchal organization. Their greatest deities were females. Their primary focus was over fertility and the life-death cycle, rather than battle and war. This pantheon provides options to characters from the Gothic Earth and Planescape settings.

Pelinore is a little known D&D setting from the pages of TSR UK's Imagine Magazine. It has the particularity of being a flat world instead of a sphere. It is briefly covered in the Minor D&D Setting resources (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64547.0) thread. Like the rest of the setting, its deities often have a humorous bent. The god of Despair, Chstenkes, is not included in the list as his clerics are forbidden to gain character levels.

Title: African Faiths

African Faiths

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

The faiths of Africa form a rich cultural mosaic across the whole continent, each with their own unique myths and legends. Animistic beliefs build the core concept of traditional African religions. They often include the worship of tutelary deities, nature worship, and ancestor worship. Some religions adopted a pantheistic worldview with a supreme creator god next to other gods and spirits. Others followed a polytheistic system with various gods, spirits, and other supernatural beings.

The following deities are inspired by various African mythologies. Each of them may serve as a patron deity to clerics and druids. The various ancestral and natural spirits associated with these faiths may also serve as patrons to shamans (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=69411.0).

Of the faiths presented below, the Yoruba pantheon is of particular interest. It is inspired by the beliefs of the Yoruba people and Ibo civilizations that developed over a thousand years ago in the rainforests of Nigeria. Their faith is made of thousands of Orishas, deities and spiritual entities acting as intermediaries between men and their creator gods, and covering everything from pottery to contagious diseases. Fragments of the Yoruba beliefs made it to the New World through African slaves. Olorun is one of the names by which the greater god that created the universe is known in the voodan traditions of Gothic Earth (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=50127.msg613943#msg613943), and some of their Orishas, notably Ogun, are recognized as part of the loa.

Native American Faiths

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this. (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=64493.0)

The mythologies of North America are as varied and numerous as the different nations that inhabited the land. From the Iroquois who inhabited the lush woodlands of Northeast United States/Southeast Canada, to the Apache who lived in the deserts of northern Mexico, the people of each tribe had their own peculiar interpretation of the supernatural world and their place in it.

Without exception, Native American faiths had a deep connection with the natural and the spiritual worlds. Druids and shamans compose the bulk of their divine casters, but clerics are also possible. It is important to note that the pantheon below is not specific to a given culture. These entries represent recurring concepts within various Native American cultures. It may be used as is, in which case you are invited to consult the source material, AD&D 2nd ed. Legends and Lore in regards to their respective beliefs and practices.

You may also research the mythos of a given culture for a more faithful interpretation of Native American faiths.
