Thaumiel
Lord of Light
The ruler of the Pantheon and the father of man. The Imperials worship him as their main deity and craft their armour and banners in his image. Legends tell that all humans were said to be created following the same physical appearance as the lord himself. Thaumiel represents justice, good will, vigilance and the human spirit and is depicted as an angelic human male dressed in exquisite robes and wearing a twisting halo. He favours those who are righteous and cast judgement wisely.
Lunara
Lady of the Stars
Goddess of the Moons, wife of Thaumiel and sister of Fal'darra. She is said to have gifted the elves with arcane knowledge and passed that creed to her younger sister. Though the arcane is no longer her responsibility, she still shares a deep fondness for it. Said to have silver skin and the moons for eyes, she is considered both beautiful and mystical. She is also said to be the celestial mother, having given birth to all the known constellations and signs.
Narecett
Guider of Common Good
Said to be the god of the working class, those whom worship him are usually commoners or craftsmen who wish to gain good fortune and success through their business for themselves and their family. Described as a blue bodied ox having six arms, each that hold a different tool of labour, the cool blue colouration of the skin represents patience and guidance. He rewards those whom pursue their professions passionately and support those that depend on them.
Khaine
Pursuer of Ego
Riding on a chariot drawn by slaves is the god of ego and pride. Adorned in skin of gold, his appearance is impeccable and causes all others to envy. Seen as the selfish god, he only likes to grant favours to those whom value their own existence and being above all else.
Vishal
Guardian of the Afterlife
Holding the gateway between life and the spirit world, Vishal, the raven god, is said to judge those who approach the gates and decides whether their soul is worthy to pass. He revers knowledge, power and embracing your mistakes to better learn from them. The Elyzians place Vishal as their main deity, and represent him through the imagery of skulls and crows.
Enerazan
Caller of Chaos
The god of chaos and disorder. It's unpredictable nature gives Enerazan a frightening touch, as many know not how it will affect that which it knows. Told to appear as a shapeless form that changes constantly, the god is never bound by law or rules. It likes to grant favour to those that follow in it's ideologies.
Adel
Empress of Beauty
Described as the perfect female, Adel represents beauty in all it's forms. From perfection observed in art, song, nature and the body as well, she graces only the magnificence of life's forms. She is also related to love and warm emotions and will grant favour to those whom either bring perfection into their life or harness it by captivating another's eye.
Slan
Mistress of Nightmares
She who haunts the darkest dreams of men and beast alike. She revels in fear, torment and grief. Said to be a demonlord of the underworld herself, she possesses the dormant minds of mortals and unleashes their worst realities to feed from their fear. A demonic woman with serpents for hair, she enjoys rewarding those that create a living hell for those unfortunate to cross their path.
Desthumus
Harnesser of Rage
He who is battle and war. Desthumus is worshipped by religious warriors whom use their anger to feed their stamina through battle. The god is vengeful and persists to unleash his potential on those whom are easily swayed by their emotions and beliefs. In the earliest human records, the name Desthumus is translated into 'Great Reaper' where he is depicted as a death god rather than just the god of battle and slaughter.
Beztheren
Trickster of Shadows
Favoured by rogues and those whom rely on stealth, Beztheren controls illusion and tricks. There is no description of what he or it may appear, but tales whom have recorded his work have told that he enjoys playing with mortals and projecting a false sense of reality.
Darnphi
Goddess of the Hunt
Also known as the mother of nature, Darnphi is the embodiment of natural instinct. Though her haven is the forest, her presence is felt over all terrains. Beasts of the wild, great and small, answer her call and return to her bosom when their life ends. However, she will take life when the balance is overturned. Somewhat unpredictable, she guides those that guard the balance of life as she does, mostly the wild elves whom worship her as their deity.
Ouroboros
Serpent of a Thousand Wings
The Baysaad worship this god as their main deity. He represents rebirth and infinity, but is also loosely represented as the sun. Also called the great eye, he is often depicted as a colossal serpent with many wings. Ouroboros is said to be a dragon god in several ancient texts. He supports tradition, understanding and a firm hand.
Sinotra
Maiden of Winter
A merciless goddess that showers the land in both beauty and prison. She is winter incarnate, and with her comes the storms and blizzards that it upholds. She is a cruel mistress whom grants life to those who survive her unforgiving tempests of chill. She finds individuals whom live in her domain successfully to be the most favoured and can be known to be quite generous despite her nature.
Tikaln
God of Earth
As the legends of the dwarves told, a great colossus pushed Verenthia from the ocean floor and raised the land with it's hands. Tikaln, the god of earth, was said to be this being. A dormant god who shakes the earth with it's snores, Tikaln is still aware and all knowing despite being considered asleep. The god grants rewards in the form of precious minerals, ores and gems found buried and gives them only to those persistent and lucky enough to find them.
Fal'darra
Overseer of the Arcane
Granted the position by her older sister, Lunara, Fal'darra now stands as the Goddess of Magic to the elves of the arcane and to all magic users seeking spiritual purpose. Described in ancient texts as an elven god, she is dressed in robes of knowledge and possesses the first great-staff to ever been carved. Her owl companion is used as the messenger between herself and her sibling.
Zephon
Queen of Pestilence
Allegedly a spawn of Enerezan, Zephon is mostly depicted as a giant insectoid or arachnid, or a swarm of any variation of the two. Her domain is the darkness and those with the strongest of wills have begun to understand her maddening chatterings and bizarre symbolism that are all aimed towards corruption.
Old Gods
The Nameless Ones
The ancient gods of Verenthia whom have all but lost their names and a majority of their power. They lay scattered in the mortal world, clinging to what power they can. They are simple minded, however their intentions have been known to be quite dark with some growing desperate enough to force mortals to sacrifice to them.
