'''The Quelmar Deities''' are a pantheon of divine powers that create, patrol, and manipulate the various planes of the [[Quelmar Universe]]. Quelmar, as a project of the gods, is watched over by the council of '''Greater Gods''' who helped create it, as well as a handful of '''Lesser Gods''' who later became attached to the Quelmar project during the [[The Plane Wars|Plane Wars]] or otherwise, followed by nearly countless '''Demi-Gods''': creatures recognized by the gods for their significant impact on Quelmar and granted divine immortality and spectating capabilities over the realm.  


While individuals in Quelmar may find themselves attached to many powerful beings, the following lists encapsulate the most popular and well-known deities in the realm.
== Overview ==
Quelmar, as a project of the gods, is watched over the council of Greater Gods who helped create it, as well as a handful of lesser gods who later became attached to the Quelmar project during the [[The Plane Wars|Plane Wars]] or otherwise, followed by nearly countless Demi-gods: creatures recognized by the gods for their significant impact on Quelmar, and granted divine immortality and spectating capabilities over the realm.
 
A singular god might go under different names and appearances in different times and places. For example, in [[Ta-Shedet]], the greater gods were often [[Gods of Ta-Shedet|depicted with the heads of animals.]]
 
While individuals in Quelmar may find themselves attached to many powerful beings, the following lists encapsulates the most popular and well-known deities in the realm.

== The Tied: Lesser Gods ==
'''Lesser Gods''' are unlike the creator deities in that they often find themselves interacting more directly with mortals. They are usually concerned with their worshipers and the status of their [[Apotheosis|apotheosis]] as, without their followers, they would lose their power. At most, they are sympathetic and can be found invoking their power to help out mortal happenstances. However, this generous involvement is usually indirect.


=== Quelmar Originals ===
Through recent years peoples have come from other planes and a few have brought some of their own powerful gods along with them. These gods stand among the ranks of the Greater Gods in their strength and power but are new to the world of Quelmar and may be as yet unknown to all but a select few.  
These gods were invented by players and DMs for stories set in the Quelmar Realm.

== The Tied: Lesser Gods ==
These gods were popularized elsewhere, but brought into Quelmar (and now canonically exist here) thanks to a player's passion for them.

'''Lesser Gods''' would be offended to be called Demi-Gods, but unlike the creator deities, they often involve themselves with mortals. They are concerned with their worshipers, usually. In the very least they care for their worshipers for their own existence for without them they would lose their power. At most, however, they are sympathetic and may directly involve themselves in the happenstances of the mortal world. Usually, though, this involvement is indirect.

== The Granted: Demi-Gods ==
== The Granted: Demi-Gods ==
'''Demi-Gods''' are aspiring gods who may have few worshipers, but desire greatness. They are the most likely to be granting spells to mortals, interfering in their affairs, or even just observing the mortal realms. They are often so new to their divinity, they cannot yet shake their interest in mortality and it may take them several centuries to truly feel beyond it.
''This list is incomplete. Perhaps your god needs to be added to it?''


Demi-Gods are sometimes created from one of the greater gods as aspects, avatars, or extensions of their divine will. [[Pelor|Pelor's]] aspect [[Lathander]] is an example of this phenomenon.

Demi-Gods are sometimes created from greater deities, as avatars or extensions of their divine will. Iyachtu, the son of [[Bane]] and Pelor's aspect [[Lathander]] are two examples of this extension.

== The Servants: Exarchs ==
== The Servants: Exarchs ==
'''Exarchs '''are divine beings who serve a Greater or Lesser God. They possess powers comparable to Demi-Gods, but whereas Demi-Gods generally strive to bolster their own divinity, Exarchs exist to serve the interests and enforce the will of a more powerful deity. Exarchs can be just as inclined, however, to intervene in the mortal realms as gods or patrons. For more information on who an Exarch serves, see their article.
''This list is incomplete. Exarchs are quite numerous and hard to keep track of. If one comes up, or is your patron or your god, add it below!''


The Nordic-inspired gods of [[Ysgard]] who serve under [[Odin]] are examples of Exarchs.
'''Exarchs '''are not true gods, but rather servants of any number of greater and lesser deities. These can thought of as "gods with a lowercase g". Usually, the exarchs are immortal on their home plane, but are as mortal on Quelmar as the native inhabitants. For more information on who the exarchs serve, see their pages.
