The Pantheon

The Pantheon represents the entirety of the ruling class of gods in the universe. It consists of The Prime Gods and The Lesser Gods. The Lesser Gods are the sons and daughters of The Prime Gods, and represent either extensions of their essence, or the result of the combination of their immense powers. Below the Pantheon are The Minor Gods - a vast array of divine beings having achieved godhood and representing a plethora of aspects of the universe, many overlapping with the Lesser and Prime Gods. Beyond that, scholars have noted many different divine entities more akin to demigods or otherwise planar creatures of immense power that do not qualify as gods, but are akin to them. Examples here include, but are not limited to: The Demon Lords, The Elemental Lords, The Titans, The Dragon Gods and The Wild Spirits.   The Pantheon itself consists of:   The Prime Gods:   Oranos, God of Time and Space.
