Greater Deities

These Gods are excessively powerful, and lifetimes have been dedicated to trying to understand them and their will. They can manifest Avatars similar to lesser deities to represent themselves. Their powers exceed all others, and they do not require worshipers, offerings or rituals to maintain or express their power. Offending these Gods is considered to be on par with attempting to taking your own life to believers. Lesser Deities will not cross the will of these Gods. They care nothing for the affairs of Mortals, and barely even concern Themselves with the affairs of other Divine.
These Deities are the most powerful beings in the standard multiverse. Only the Old Ones can begin to approach their power, and often the longer they remain in power, the more power they accumulate. They often are more akin to force of nature than beings though. The worlds are as they would like them, and they believe balance is served between the Light and Dark, and while have there own personal leanings tend to agree with Pentharion demands, if not for fear then because of a debt of gratitude for the help elevating them from the slavery to the Old Ones, and helping keep the multiverse in place, and bringing choice to the universe.

Pentharion, God of Light and Justice

• Domains: Light and Knowledge
• Considered the Leader among all the Deities in power in the multiverse. His power and wisdom can not be matched by any single other Deity, and he Inspires true loyalty from those, even when they disagree. Pentharion is the Light and Law of the multiverse, and it was through his leadership and strength that the Old Ones were cast into the outer verse, and the elemental Lords were removed from the material plane.

Troth, God of Life and Death

• Domains: Life and Death
• The only Old One whom Pentharion did not not banish, for Troth was sympathetic to the cause, and believed choice would balance the universe then the tyrannical rule under his kind. It was this support that enabled Pentharion to rise above the other Deities, and oust the Old Ones. Little is known of the deal struck between the two, but it is clear that while it was granted by Troth, it can not be so easily removed. Troth has Ruled the Realms of the dead since the beginning, and his otherworldly palace sits on the very edge of the living multiverse and the eternal rest of death. Only Troth can pass between the two, and it is through his judgement that the souls of the dead are sorted. Retrieving a soul from beyond his palace is impossible without his blessing. While he believes strongly in the power of mortal choice, he feels that death is apart of the natural order of choice.

Aoura, Goddess of the Seasons

• Domains: Tempest and Nature
• Aoura loves Weather and Nature, and delights in the subtle changes that occur in them. Her moods and demeanor changes with the subtle changes around her as well, she is a force of true nature. Her motives are often like a feather in the wind, and she cares little for the affairs of mortals. It is only her love of plants and simple beasts that she bothers any attention at all to the material plane, and would be delighted to spend all her time and energy into her infinite garden Plane, where she can often be found expressed as a gust of wind flowing through the beautiful scenery.

Pandora, Goddess of Chaos and the Unknown

• Domains: Trickery and War
• Accepted into the Parthenon as the lessor of multiple evils. Pandora embraces the Chaos, and keeps it contained and not running rampant. Pentharion has also tasked her with keeping the old ones from returning, and as it took all of the Greater Deities as well as the support of Troth to have them removed, so she knows that if she were to fail at this task, all of her power would be taken from her at the hands of the Old Ones, and so it is this lust for power that keeps her in line amongst the other Gods.

Agethis, Binder of the Elements

• Domains: Nature and War
• Agethis is Pentharion's right hand, if deities had anything as simple as hands. It was between the two of them that the plan to over throw the Old ones was originally hatched, and it was with the unwavering support of Agethis that Pentharion was able to convince the others. Light hearted, and compassionate, one would not expect them to be God of War, but it was Agethis who lead the charge against the Elemental lords, and drove them from the core of the multiverse, thus freeing the the material plane. Their focus on Nature is not on the life aspect of it, but rather the complex interplay between elements, and how they influence the world. Their previous nature turned toward violent expression as they combated to tame the elements. Its is through their strength the elements have limitations that mortals can survive and adapt to.

Corellion Larethian, God of Art and Elves

• Domain: Light and Life
• Corellion wants nothing more then experience all things, as all things. Long ago his form as metamorphic, where no expression of Corellion was ever the same as a previous. They enjoyed nothing more then traveling to new realms and experiencing existence as a Tree, or Waterfall. Perhaps a gust of wind even. All other deities cared little about what Corellion did with there time, but something about the very nature of Corellion upset Gruumsh enough to engage Corellion in Combat. This combat moved through the multiverse like a river, the two fighting with everything they had. In the end, neither would be declared the victor, though both Corellion and Gruumsh were gravely injured. It was the blood of Corellion that formed the first elves. There is much to this story of Elves, but suffice it to say that eventually, disappointed by these new pieces of themselves, Corellion punished them, and cast them from there presence. The events that took place were almost like a rebellion, and in the end Corellion was left weaker, unable to live the life they once did traveling freely from form to form.

Gruumsh, God of Storms and War

• Domain: Tempest and War
• Wrathful and Strong. Unyielding like a thunderstorm. As destructive as a cyclone. Gruumsh, was a grand warrior even under the Old Ones. He joined in on the fight, only to test his mettle against these greater beings, for he had no care for Pentharions petty rebellion. It was after this, that Gruumsh watched with disdain as Corellion flightily explored the multiverse, never leaving a mark upon. Gruumsh hated the joy he saw in Corellion, and plotted to extinguish it. It was in the combat with Corellion, that Gruumsh was left scarred, and bloodied. He had even lost an eye in the fight. Unwilling to yeild, Pentharion cast Gruumsh into Acheron, where he could exist in the contentment of battle for all of time. Since then, Gruumsh formed the Orcs from clay into his image before his battle, and does endless war against Aegis, and Maglubiyet in the fields of endless battle in Acheron.
