Divine Relationships

Despite her venomous reputation, Pharika has provided nearly every god with a cure or an otherwise essential tonic at a crucial moment. As a result, she’s rarely in outright conflict with her fellow gods, yet she’s always willing to jeopardize peace with her peers if it means indulging some audacious new experiment. The gods of the Underworld have cordial relations with Pharika. She and Athreos enjoy each other’s silent company, and Erebos appreciates her agenda, which ultimately bolsters his realm. Pharika rankles somewhat at the attention Erebos gets from dying mortals, chafing at their tendency to appeal to him when they could beg her for healing or for a painless death.
Pharika and the gods of civilization cautiously maneuver around one another’s territory, with Ephara and Karametra recognizing Pharika’s medicinal virtues, and she is always seeking subtle ways to use city-states in her experiments without provoking her peers. She disdains Ephara’s and Karametra’s desire to tame the world rather than understand it.
Pharika has her most complex relationships with the gods of knowledge. Pharika loathes that Keranos gifts wisdom to the undeserving, while Kruphix represents mysteries even she has yet to fathom.
No god is more precious to Pharika than Nylea. She adores Nylea as the source of nature’s abundant bounty and delights in Nylea’s warmth. Anyone who threatens or offends Nylea is likely to also earn Pharika’s enmity.
