The Pantheon
From Valwiki
The assorted deities of the multiverse make up the pantheon of Kharlia. Gods have existed for as long as anyone can remember, and they are beings of super powerful might. Gods represent ideals as much as they embody them, regulating and empowering the different aspects of reality as they exist on the world of Kharlia. Deities are limited in their interaction with the Material Plane, forced by the universal law of Circular Servitude. Some gods keep an assortment of followers, while others do not meddle in the affairs of mortals. The original gods were created by the Ancients, and new gods arise as offspring of existing deities or come into being when certain conditions are met.
