A Campaign Pantheon

In my RPG group we have a very energetic and thoughtful player that has decided to play his first Cleric class PC. The player is new to tabletop RPGs, but he's picking it up like a skanker at a Madness concert. I've decided to create a personalized pantheon for our campaign setting to help him choose a Deity. Also, I'm hoping this will add a helpful dose of verisimilitude. If an NPC curses a god, the players will now have an actual chart to reference in order of alignment from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil. Next, I'll use these characters to draw up a creation myth.





PANTHEON

Ukko: AL:LG. Supreme god of the Sky and the Air. Responsible for all weather and protects all avian life. His symbol is the Falcon.

Yptus: AL:LN. Brother of Ukko. God of the forests and peaceful places. Responsible for all terrestrial life. His symbol is the Oak.

Ondina: AL:LE. Sister of Ukko. Goddess of the Deepest Waters. Responsible for the seas and all aquatic life. Her symbol is the Whale

Erasimo: AL: NG. God of Society and Government. Responsible for children and the structured growth of peaceful societies. His symbol is the Coin.

Braith: AL: N. Sister of Erasimo. Goddess of Druids and Bards. Responsible for balance in all things. Her symbol is the Open Hand.

Intillian: AL:NE. Sister of Erasimo. Goddess of Darkness and the Deepest Caves. Responsible for subterranean ecosystems. Her symbol is the Blackened Circle.

Nax: AL:CG. Imp-god of Pranks and Wine. Responsible for the unpredictable and associated with miracles. His symbol is the Torch.

Avan: AL:CN. Horned god of Streams, Brooks and Pure Chaos. Responsible for the insane and all shallow waters. His symbol is the Asterisk.

Antarkus: AL:CE. Father of Nax and Avan. Black dragon-god of Greed, Gluttony, Fire, and Death. Responsible for the all things foul, vile, and under-handed. Commonly associated with Monsters and Demons . His symbol is the Tusk.


Soon, I'll have the creation myth completed.
