Melnibonéan Deities
« Reply #32 on: January 02, 2010, 08:58:45 PM »
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
« Reply #34 on: January 02, 2010, 09:01:17 PM »
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
« Reply #36 on: June 19, 2010, 07:58:04 PM »
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

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

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.

Zoroastrianism
« Reply #43 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.

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.

Abrahamic Religions

Abrahamic Religions

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this.

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

Dark Ages Eastern European (Slavic) Deities

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this.

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.

Naranjan Principles
« Reply #46 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

Voodan, the Loa of Gothic Earth

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this.

The Loa of Gothic Earth 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

Anglo-Saxon Deities

Note: Any player wishing to portray a divine caster originating from Gothic Earth must first read this.

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 Deities

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 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.
