Worshippers: Humans, halflings, farmers, midwives, healers.<br />

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 />

Biddethomia<br />

The Lady of the Unknown, Mistress of Hemlock,<br />

the Hanging Moon (Faedian)<br />

Symbol: A silvery moon rising up through<br />

a single cloud.<br />

unrequited love, the moon, poisonous plants.<br />

Domains: Darkness*, Destiny*, Evil, Magic, Plant.<br />

Worshippers: Witches, drow, spurned maidens, evil wizards, evil<br />

sorcerers.<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 />

Panathon<br />

Filler of the Cup, The Decadent Lord, the Joyous<br />

Oer (Faedian)<br />

around an overflowing cornucopia.<br />

Favored Weapon: Flail (any).<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 />

Sallous Yar<br />

The Night’s Sun, Magus of Bones, the Man<br />

Under the World (Faedian)<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 />

Shivanos<br />

The Haed Doom, the Crimson Butcher, the<br />

Blooded Warrior (Faedian)<br />

warmongers, berserkers, Rilgoth barbarians.<br />

Favored Weapon: Great axe.<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
