Avarian
in DEITIESThe Avari Pantheon is a pantheon of minor deities, most of whom are affiliated with the natural world. The pantheon is named after the Avar who worshipped it during the ancient times. Avarian Worship as a whole is still practiced amongst the Sala'kir, Makai and Agam'an. Partial worship is also popular to some extent in some of the Free Cities.
The Primordial
BBe'er Ga'ash is the dead Avari god of origin belived to be the essence of the Prime Material Realm. He is the eldest of the Avari Pantheon and the only Avari deity considered to a have been a fully fledged divine god similar to those in other religions. According to Avari myths he was killed by Raki'a and Shemama, who carved his body into Arafel and Shalhevet by Raki'a, and into Midbariot and Tehomot by Shemama. His corpse, thrown to the Outer Planes, was integrated into Nezahalom.
The Parents
While they are considered to be a central part of the Avarian pantheon, Raki'a and Shemama are rarely prayed to or offered homage by followers of the pantheon. This behavior mostly stems from the assumption that aproaching a deity with a minor problem or request is unbecoming and averts the god's needed attention from more important tasks and duties. Therefor, while The Parents are considered to be primordial beings of immense powers, most communication with them is done through either the Aspects or the Offspring.
The Aspects
The Aspects of the Avari Patheon are amorphous figures assaigned to important forces that influenced the ancient Avari and their sorroundings. While Be'er Ga'ash, Raki'a and Shemama are considered to be the original creations, the aspects are considered to be the central figures of the Pantheon, and therefore those who are most venerated by its followers.

The Offspring
The offspring are in charge of specific cycles or parts of nature and aspects of the Avar's daily life. While there are dozens of minor Avarian deites who are can be considered as offspring, most have no mentions outside of specific cultures or even specific sects within those cultures. These four minor dieties are mostly universal to all cultures following the pantheon, belived to be concived or created by either the aspects or the primordials themselves.
