==== '''Gods of the Land''' ====

Among the mortal races, there is a little known Pantheon situated in the continent of Palatinus. Though their reach is somewhat lacking, it has been claimed that these great beings helped forge the realm during its creation. Not much is known about them save the Lady of Earth (The clergy is tight-lipped), but what can be gathered is based upon their appearance in manuscripts.

'''Zoshonel''': Clad in armor of burning Crimson, this Goddess represents combat, loyalty in thy fellow soldiers, and passion in all of its forms. She is deemed the Patron Deity of the Traveler, Footsoldier, Adventurer, and Worker. Wielding Flame with only the fervor that even the most fanatical zealot could only DREAM to muster, she is what many call strong-willed, clever, and above all else, strength given form.

'''Harnella''': Thy eyes do not deceive, Harnella is as she appears: Queen of the Beasts! She represents adventure, savagery, cunning, and the thrill of the hunt. Patron Deity to the Hunter, Strategist, Barbarian and Gatherer. Riding amid the winds and wielder of Lightning, Harnella is never one to stay in a single place at a given time. Ever on the move, she leaves where she pleases. Her trail can never truly be found, let alone be followed. Some scribes claim that she has either given birth to or had ordained beings known as Boreas, Euros, Notos, and Zephyros: The Four Wind Gods. There is no concrete proof, just hearsay and rumor of weapons bearing their names appearing during times of trouble.

'''Grueza''': Youngest of the six, yet wise beyond her years. Though normally portrayed in robes fitting of her appearance, she may arrive clad in armor similar to Zoshonel. She represents serenity, wisdom, knowledge, and obsession. Patron Deity of the Artist, Dreamer, Cleric, and Collector. Forever bathing within the Waters, the waves whisk her away to wherever she is needed most...be it humble monk lost at sea or to those who seek knowledge for the sake of cataloging. 

'''Berthe''': Earth Mother, Life Binder, the Great Bear, Berthe is known by many names. She represents Love, Vengeance, Respect, and Protection. Patron Deity of the Caregiver, Parent, Atoner, and Seeker. It is said that she gave life to the mortal races, and sees them as her children. Every single one is seen as a child of her womb. Woe betide to those who attempt to use any for wicked purposes, for Berthe is Vengeance Unbound. Tales speak of her eldest daughter, Danika, being whisked away to the Underworld - The Ogre Realm, where Berthe and a human king took the fight to Asmodee to rescue her... or so we think.

'''Ishtar''': Justice given a form befitting Virtue. Ishtar represents Law, Values, Honesty, and Might. Patron Deity of the Monk, Prophet, Royalty and the Clergy. Ever in an eternal war against her long time enemy Asmodee, she stands watch at the High Heavens, prepared in case another Ogre Battle is to ever take place. It is often said that the Angel Knights that lie within the Eastern Orthodox armies are her personal retinue, coming to Berthe's aid as the war draws on. Some say that she will strike down Asmodee in the final great conflict, wherever it may fall.

'''Asmodee''': The Trickster, Death, Condemner and Hierophant of Bane. Asmodee represents Hatred, Destruction, and Terror. No one may refer to him as a Patron Deity but there are several cults scattered about that worship him as the true god. It is he who kidnapped Danika and brought her to the Underworld, instigating the Ogre Battle. A vile beast if there ever was, Asmodee delights in sowing destruction and insanity wherever he may venture. Of the Umbra, he counts them as his many sons and daughters, despite where their loyalties in the mortal realm may be.
