Mythology & Lore

In the world of Istia there are nine known and recognized deities. Each country and culture refers to them using different names, but the entities are the same regardless of the name they are given. Additionally, some cultures might associate additional domains to some of the deities based on things that are important to that culture, however that does not change the true nature of each entity.

Worship

Temples in Istia are not dedicated to a single deity, but to the pantheon as a whole. This allows people to pray or seek guidance from whichever deity they like. Some individuals select a personal deity that they favor over the others, while some have a more situational style of worship. Clerics functional in a similar way, in that they can be a cleric of the pantheon in its entirity, or select a particular deity that they feel most connected to.   The gods set out to avoid religious conflict as much as possible in Istia and they have been mostly successful using this method. In truth, most large-scale conflict in Istia is focused on territorial expansion, disagreement on cultural practices or morals, and in some rare cases - plain racism.
