Deity
The deities of the pantheon of Azimuth are extremely powerful beings with the ability to grant powers to mortals and who gain power from mortal worship. The grandest among these are the divine Dragons, though other lesser idols are worshipped as gods by some.
Dragon Deities
After the events of the Severance, the world of Azimuth was left without gods. However, so powerful were those first entities that had occupied the divine realms, echoes of the gods remained. The people of Azimuth still prayed, and these echoes heard these calls. Flowering from the seeds left behind, new entities began to coalesce. In the Divine Planes, eight new beings were made, given form and function by the faiths of the mortal races and beasts. These eight, great figures of scale and wing and claw would be named the Dragons and form Azimuth's pantheon.- Chedae, The Heaven's Light: The Dragon of Zenethia, the Plane of Light.
- Esturk, The World's End: The Dragon of Nadiria, the Plane of Darkness.
- Gaia, The Allmother: The Dragon of Elysia, the Plane of Life.
- Nerull, The Scythe-Bearer: The Dragon of Stygia, the Plane of Death.
- Avianor, The Timefather: The Dragon of Ourania, the Plane of Skies.
- Sehakora, The Maelstrom: The Dragon of Thalassia, the Plane of Seas.
- Morounin, The Learned-Lady: The Dragon of Ignosia, the Plane of Knowledge.
- Barduumus, The Battlelord: The Dragon of Dynamia, the Plane of Strength.
Former deities
- Zenthai, The Dragon King: Zenthai was killed in battle by Esturk, The World's End, at the end of the Tarterian War of the late Fourth Age. His essence was scattered into his mortal children as Zenthai's Blessing.
