Hungering Core
Domain: Entropy
Hunger is all that defines whatever this powerful deity is. It is simply feral and blindly reaches out at whatever energy or mortal is around to have it be consumed. Only those who are undead are immune, or at least resilient, to its draining force.
Vitation
Domain: Energy
Vitation is light and life incarnate. All living things become empowered and strengthened by just the mere presence of this deity. Those of negative alignment or heritage become blinded, or at least uncomfortable, by the light he radiates.
Ethorans
Ethoran deities embody the various foundations and primal forces of the world. These are basic forces such as the elements, life, death, time, and so on. These deities can come across as uncaring but that is because they prefer taking a neutral and unbiased stance for their domain.
Albiran
Domain: Death
Albiran is inevitable for all mortal life. This apathetic deity cares not for who or what you are. He is the overseer of death and it is his duty to take no side. In the end, he ensures spirits are ushered where they belong.
Astasia
Domain: Life
Astasia has fought long enough against the Prime Powers to where she is tired of destruction and death. She represents growth and vitality, hoping to usher in life where there no longer was.
Kavurn
Domain: Darkness
Kavurn is simply described as a black silhouette of a tall and lanky figure. This deity embodies darkness and the various aspects of it.
Jovians
Most Jovians are not popular deities within the current time. Regardless, these deities believe that there is more to life than the core fundamentals and basics. So, they embody a fair bit of niche domains.
Ardors
The Ardor pantheon was founded by Caldrien who believed in giving faith a deeper purpose. These deities believe that betterment and purpose is found through the mind, body, and spirit connection. There are three positive-aligned deities who represent the three, and there are the negative deities who do the same. Three is a very big symbol with this pantheon.
Negative Aligned
Algareege
Domain: Spirit
Algareege is an Aversal deity who teaches that knowledge is quite versatile but also dangerous.

Only those close to Algareege does it carefully teach its grand knowledge.
Kereska
Domain: Body

Misera
Domain: Mind
Followers of Misera honorably refer to her has the Blind Bleeder. She is depicted as a blind-folded woman with bloody tears streaming down her cheeks. It is a symbol of her heartache hearing the woes of her followers. She helps her followers learn to endure pain and ease the suffering for themselves and others.

Loose deities are gods and entities that don't really align with other pantheons and often do as they see fit. Usually these are cults that can either be harmful with their intentions for outsiders or simply practice their strange faiths in isolation.
Ruinous Pact
The Ruinous Pact is a bitter alliance of negative-aligned deities seeking to destroy civilizations and what people have built. They want to wipe the slate clean and rule over the fresh new world.
To better orchestrate their cult, they call on a "Herald of Ruin" to lead their mortal followers. Commanders under the Herald are referred to as "Despoilers" who represent each deity part of the pact.
Ilkrichyurl
Madness is Ilkrichyurl's specialty, as it invokes this feeling as a reminder to these other dieties that they are not as all-powerful as they think. This madness is their method of control to help spread their influence.
Balgromok
Hedonism and vice are the only things this depraved Lord cares about. Balgomok often seeks to aid cultists in their own pleasures which often brings others down. Jealousy, pride, and all sorts of taboos are what make up his fiendish realm.
Valg
Death, plagues, and undeath are the core staple for this Lord of Blight. His agendas range from the pursuit of power to the mindless march of death.
