Favored Weapon: Mace (any).<br />
As one who always had a great love for mortals, Sycleese traveled<br />
far and wide among them since her arrival on the mortal plane. Most<br />
people revere her, as she frequently bestows her blessings upon<br />
newborns and marriages, although she spends most of her time among<br />
the Faedian wildmen for whom she reserves a special place in her heart.<br />
The deities known as lesser gods have less responsibility than either<br />
the greater or intermediate gods, although their power remains<br />
daunting. Such gods reign over specialized aspects of existence.<br />

Favored Weapon: Dagger.<br />
The champion of dark magic and vengeful lovers, Biddethomia<br />
was herself spurned by Sallous Yar for the goddess Sycleese. Ever<br />
since, she hungers for vengeance. Furthering her hatred of the<br />
Magus of Bones (and men in general) is Biddethomia’s enmity of all<br />
things undead and necromantic, the one realm of the dark arts she<br />
will not touch for reasons unknown.<br />
Biddethomia possesses a beauty beguiling as it is frightening.<br />
She has bone-white skin, her regal face framed with raven tresses<br />
as dark as night. She always wears black, and conceals her features<br />
behind a spider-web veil. Since her exile to the mortal plane,<br />
Biddethomia traverses Dracos from one end to the other, offering<br />
aid to vengeful females and ambitious witches.<br />

The twin brother of Shivanos and son of Kutsutema and Phaetos,<br />
Panathon happily enjoys his exile on the mortal realm. Once bound<br />
by the rules of Gallentros, Panathon is now free to revel in every<br />
form of pleasure imaginable. He spends much of his time exploring<br />
the countless taverns and brothels of Dracos, where he partakes of<br />
all manner of excesses, debauchery, and perversity. Standing well<br />
over six feet tall, this incredibly handsome, rugged god is never at a<br />
loss for companions.<br />
The one thing sure to destroy this god’s revelry, no maer how<br />
soused he may be, is the mention of his brother. Although Panathon<br />
loves Shivanos, he cannot forgive his berserker brother for his<br />
Chapter Three: Religion<br />
Lesser Gods<br />
Sycleese harbors a hidden pain regarding her former lover,<br />
Sallous Yar. In fact, when he is mentioned, her joyous composure<br />
hardens. Their relation ended when he chose to become the Lord<br />
of Undeath, forcing Sycleese to oppose him and add death to her<br />
spheres of influence.<br />
trespasses against his fellow gods, or for his extremely violent<br />
efforts to slay all the favored peoples of the pantheon not his own, a<br />
goal that would surely ruin Panathon’s fun.<br />

The half-brother of Eaovata and the reputed son of a powerful<br />
demoness, Sallous Yar was once the god of death and a dedicated<br />
servant of the great cycle of existence until he coveted the power to<br />
create, something most other gods possessed. Against the efforts<br />
of his betrothed, Sycleese, Sallous Yar experimented with those<br />
unnamable things existing within the extreme boundaries of the<br />
great cycle.<br />
Eventually, he discovered the dark art of necromancy, and in<br />
doing so, transformed himself into a creature beyond life and<br />
death. Having aained his greatest desire, he abandoned his claim<br />
to the realm of death and rebelled against the other gods so he<br />
could continue to create his undying monstrosities. He now rules<br />
his undead minions from a monstrous city hidden deep within the<br />
Swamp of Woe. Even his sometime-ally, the Horde, dares not enter<br />
the mire without Sallous Yar’s permission.<br />

The twin of Panathon and a longstanding opponent of peace,<br />
Shivanos was the first god cast down from Gallentros, long before<br />
the other gods. Since his fall, he unsuccessfully aempted to unite<br />
the various humanoid tribes of Dracos against his fellow gods’<br />
chosen races. Many of the orc tribes of the Archduchy acknowledge<br />
his rule, and now warlords and chieains personally appointed by the
