Quelmar Deities

The Quelmar Deities are a pantheon of divine powers that create, patrol, and manipulate the various planes of the Quelmar Universe.

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 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 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.

Greater Gods

These are the gods that are incredibly powerful, the gods that gods fear. Their worshipers are diverse and everywhere, their power feared or inspiring to the deities of lesser rank. Most deities wish to aspire to this classification, though only three are known to have succeeded. As ancient as Quelmar, the Greater Gods go under many different names and appearances in different times and places. For example, in Ta-Shedet, the gods were often depicted with the heads of animals.

THE ONE

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.

The Tied: Lesser Gods

This list is incomplete. Perhaps your god needs to be added to it?

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

This list is incomplete. Perhaps your god needs to be added to it?

Demi-Gods are the lowest of the true gods. These are aspiring gods who may have few worshipers but desire greatness. These gods are the most likely to be granting spells to mortals, interfering in their affairs, or even just observing the mortal realms. Often, lesser deities are so new in their divinity that they cannot help but shake their interests in mortality. It may take several centuries of divinity to feel beyond it.

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.

Death: Azazel, Silent

Knowledge: Hat, Waukeen, Ioun

Life: Chronepsis, Helm, Kossuth

Light: Lathander, Selûne

Nature: Grumbar, Reesec

Tempest: Istishia, Kragnux, Iakhovas

Trickery: Akadi, Kurtulmak

War: Vanitthu, Odin, Sargonnas

The Servants: Exarchs

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!

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.

Note: With the exception of Odin (see above), the Nordic inspired gods of Ysgard are considered Exarchs

Death: Iyachtu

Knowledge: Ye'Cind

Life: Dionysus, Eve

Light: Apollo

Nature: Oran, Aegir

Tempest:

Trickery: Loki

War: Tyr
