Outlander Gods
The gods of the Outlands are those who remade the Outlands and chose to live upon the plane. Their pantheon is organized into two distinct categories, the Gods of Law and the Gods of Chaos.
Originally, the gods worked together as lesser divines and together they forced the gods of the Outer Planes out of the Outlands. Choosing to work among their opposites, they freed the Outlands from outside influence and restricted the flow of planar travel via Sigil, the City of Doors. Their cooperation was short lived but once established, a temptress known as Kenarsic convinced Mal Sidious to betray Azgenerath. Betrayal at hand, the gods divided and began to war among themselves with the Outlands all to themselves.

Sects
The Way of the Shaken
A religious movement that views the gods outside of their orders of Law and Chaos. They worship the gods they deem worthy of goodwill and accept that their world was once remade, roughly 100 years ago. They worship Azgenerath, Aefdarnihfe, Woadic, Kinvinus, Lundorr, Merader, Awdurora, and Yeterith. Though they acknowledge the existence of the other gods, they pray only to The Eight, the Shakers.
