Core Pantheon
The human gods of the Flanaess come from several distinct pantheons. The Suel, Flan, Oeridians, and Baklunish each worship their own pantheon of gods. As the cultures mixed however, some of the gods also mixed into other pantheons. Pelor, Boccob, and Beory were the first to be widely worshiped in many pantheons, and others have followed. A little more than twenty gods of Good or the Balance are widely worshiped across the Flanaess. Though coming from many different pantheons, they have found followings among all ethnicities.
Many more gods exist and are worshiped in the Flanaess. In lands where one human ethnic group predominates, worship of that pantheon tends to take center stage. Lands of the Scarlet Brotherhood only allow open worship of the Suel Pantheon for instance. The gods of the Olmans or the Tuov are almost unknown across the Flanaess. Also many minor gods and demipowers may not be associated with a particular pantheon, but have scatterings of followers across the land.
There are also places where various demipowers, demon lords, archdevils, elemental lords and primordials, fey lords, and the like, enjoy worship either openly, such as the Lands of Iuz, or secretly.
