Gods and Deities of the Tempest Realm

Before anything there was them, the Elder One. At first they created space, and then they created time. When space and time interacted the chaos of the universe was born. The Elder One was not interested in this new universe, so they created powerful entities to tame this tempest realm. Before the rise of the worlds known as The Tempest Realm, the deities existed for a long time. They fought, bred, died and re-birthed. Many of the modern deities were not the necessarily the same entities as created by the Elder One.   The gods and deities cover varies portfolios that attracts a wide range of followers. Some of these mortals may only pray to one aspect of a deity, where others worship the deity themselves. The alignment of a deity does not necessarily match up with their followers, especially when the followers only pray to an aspect of a deity.
So what if I pray to the Timekeeper? Just because he is evil doesn't mean I am. I pray to his aspect of time, I just want to know how time works to help building my timekeeping devices.

  When the world was first formed the gods and deities would walk the lands as they seeded the world with features and life. Over time they moved to their home planes, interacting with the world directly less and less over time. Some think that this is due to the gods and deities loosing divine power, while others think that they care less about the world of mortals.   The last deity to walk the land of The Tempest Realm was the The Pyreburner when he shared “The Gift of Fire” with the humans of Oros. However he was killed in the war called The Scouring over 300 years ago by human avatars of The Divine Watcher, The Storm Master, and The Dawnhammer.   Memories of War   The War against the Pyreburner was over 300 years ago. Despite how deadly the war was on Oriana, there are those who survived and are alive today. The war was a horrific time, with the Pyreburner summoning armies of devils to hunt down humans and any other groups or individuals that would oppose him. Many towns and cities were nearly levelled to the ground.   However, memories fade. Especially those of the war. Some say it is time, some say it is the divine presence of a god on the material plane, but everyone who was alive during the war struggles to remember specific details about the war. Memories of the war are a blur, with many 'memories' being stories passed on over the centuries.   Many of the short lived races have almost forgotten the existence of the war. Other than minor conflicts, most know only peace. Perhaps that is for the best?  
Author's Note: The Gods and Deities listed in this campaign guide is not the full exhaustive of Gods and Deities in the Tempest Realm. Have a chat with your DM if you want a new deity to be included in your game.   The other thing to note is while the listed Gods and Deities have been assigned an alignment, they do have volatile moods and personalities that may result in actions that vary from their assigned alignments.
