Krin-Gion Pantheon is the body of myths and legends told by ancient Gion and Krin, which became the latter main religion and the majoritiy of the South Estisia, influencing their political and traditions for millenniums. it spreads across from West to East Coast, and some part of the northern Gate Lowland.
The pantheon consists of 10 deities, each of which represent various aspecst of natures, spirits, and human lives. Some are intertwining with others, and some are working with the same topics - with different usages. It not include minor that but associate with the popular one. It's originated from Lake Gios, yet the Krin variants made the big influence also, thus combining into what historians called Krin-Gion Pantheon.
Divine Origins
Gion, the ancient people of Lake Gios worshipped multiple deities. Their rich culture and historical greatness was told in a form of myths, legends, and traditions. Their temple had spreading outside the lake through Gioson River, which then became prominent in the east coast long after the fall of their civilization around 900 BVE.
The people migrated and adapted their beliefs into wherever foreign cultures accepted, becoming something else. Some deities kept the same beliefs. Some being assimilated with local gods. Some deities died. Although having common roots, beliefs were sliced and diversed, becoming local cults with endless variations, hard to categorize.
It wan't until the Krin, claming to be the descensants of Gion, and its empire, had decided to put them together into one place, as an attempt to form the unity through faiths among its massive territory, the well-known pantheon was born.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Many professions likely to worshop their related deities. For examples, Verideus and Talus belongs to officers as a foundation of the empire law and military. They wrote a code of law in the name of Verideus. They won't declare blind wars unless any omen from Talus said so. The Millet Festival that worship Galvon after successful harvest, became the national events to survey the empire overall food production.
Union of Beliefs
Myths surround these local deities for so long, which is very sprase depending on which communities they were worshipped, but it's until the certain Krin oral traditions that collect and justify which make them became easy-to-learn to new followers. The Pantheon of Kriton was built in Knirk for such purpose as the place to worship their lovely gods over a single place, uniting their citizens.
