Zephyran Deities - - "The Zephyron"

The Classical Deities of Zephyra, the pantheon known as "The Zephyron" These are the deities that have been bandied around among the tribes and clans of Zephyra since anyone can remember. Below are the straight archetypes, but most groups have their own versions or takes on various deities. A "Larkin" in one tribe might be very different in another. Even non-human tribes, especially dwarves, might take up some of these deities as their own, over centuries of evolutions and exchange between cultures. The Zephyron's most basic structure is below: Allfather: Ardren, He Who Sees…

The patron of Zephyran Shamans, Fierceness in Battle, Lord of Magic, Divination, and Learning. Creator and Sorcerer, All-Seeing (with raven and wolf familiars, and the head of an ancient divinator, decapitated now serving Ardren as all-seer)
Some have met a strange wanderer in a blue, travel-stained cloak and tall hat. They say the Ardren wanders all of Zephyra, searching for wisdom and precious stories to keep safe in the land of Azgar, in the Chest of Poems.
