The Exile Gods
The Prime Deities are those who are the most commonly worshiped, followed, and witnessed. Those who inspire and protect, empower and challenge, and of course ferry from their mortal bodies to the next life. The Prime Deities also can trace their divine bloodlines and births to the Twin Creators, Garenthar and Kormund. While many believe that only the Prime Deities and their betrayer brethren are the only divine powers, there are far much more sinister and dark deities that sit in the darkness, biding their time and slowly gathering power. Their goal, to lead their followers to victory and to destroy the Prime Deities who, in their eyes, have ruled over Korrisia for far too long.
The Exiles are not exactly a Pantheon as much as they are a category of deities who do not belong to the Prime Deities, and are all forbidden, unknown, or highly controversial deities followed only by small sects of individuals, or certain creatures of the world. Some of the Exile Gods are truly powerful and formidable already, but know that a solo assault against the Prime Deities would almost guarantee their destruction. All Exiles are powerful in regards to mortals, even the lowliest Quasi-deity could burn an entire city to the ground if they wished, this of course would also guarantee their destruction, as it would reveal them to the Prime Deities.
Most of the Exiles not only are worshiped in secret, they themselves also hide away, out of sight of the all-powerful Prime Deities. The Prime Deities know and understand the danger an Exile can bring, and would bring the full force of their power against them should the chance present itself. Even the planes of each Exile is hidden away, most of the time the only method of reaching these hidden planes is by becoming chosen by the specific deity or by finding one of the rare doorways that exist in the Prime Material. Most of the deities rank as a lesser deity or below, if one were to reach the strength of a powerful intermediate deity or even a greater deity, there could be a massive shift in power among the deities. What's scariest, is that most would have no idea of the change in the heavens should it happen, and one day it most likely will.
