IT IS IDENTIFIED IN SOME OFFICIAL
SUPPLEMENTS, LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL
ORDER; THE NAMES IN ITALICS HAVE BEEN

Epithets of the Immortal
Level, Alignment, Sphere: The Immortal’s level is shown
first, and in parentheses the Immortal’s rank, followed by
its abbreviated Alignment (L = Lawful, N = Neutral, C =
Chaotic, G = Good, and E = Evil, these last two
descriptors only serve for the conversion to Third
Edition), and finally the Sphere the Immortal belongs to.
Symbol: The description of the Immortal’s Symbol; it is
normally displayed on the priest’s vestments or Holy
Symbol, and some holy symbols are in the shape of the
Immortal’s symbol.
Portfolio: The aims, ideals, races and cultures that the
Immortal and its cults think important.
Worshipped in: The nations, regions and continents of
Mystara in which there at least a hundred followers of the
Immortal present, and, normally, at least a priest and
temple or a dedicated sacred place. Firstly the continent
or geographic region, then in parentheses the nations in
which the cult is present, all in alphabetical order. It
should be noted that in the regions of Sind and
Shahjapur where the samdu religion is popular, all the
current Immortals have at least one manifestation form.
This also happens in the Azcan and the Neathar religions.
For those civilizations only the Immortals considered
most important or for which a specific regional name is
known are shown.
Appearance: A physical description of the Immortal's
manifestation form, or the physical form in which he
lives and with which he appears to his faithful. When
more than one form exists they are described after the
first, which is the Immortal's preferred form. In cases for
which there are no descriptions given in the canonical
material, the description is based on conjecture and
hypothesis and is shown in italics.
History: This begins with the Immortal’s mortal history
until the moment of his rise to Immortality, complete
with temporal, cultural and geographic references. When
the History of the Immortal is unknown, a probable
history is shown in italics, preceded by the heading
LIKELY THEORY.
Personality: The Immortal's character, his current plans
and objectives, as well as his relationships with the other
Immortals are explained in this paragraph.
Patron: The Immortal who sponsored the Immortal’s
ascension. If one isn’t mentioned in the official sources,
then the most likely one is shown within square brackets.
Allies: Stable Immortal friends and allies of the immortal.
Enemies: Immortals who are strongly opposed to or are
currently fighting with the Immortal for various reasons.
Followers’ Alignment: First is the Alignment of the
Immortal’s generic followers, then the compulsory
Alignment of its clergymen. In absence of any distinction,
the stated alignment is for both the common faithful as
well as the clergy of the Immortal.
Favourite weapon: The weapon referred to outside of the
parenthesis is the preferred weapon of the Immortal,
which all his specialist clerics must know how to use. If
more than one weapon is listed with the conjunction
"and", then the cleric is obligated to know how to use all
the weapons referred to. If the weapons listed are joined
by the conjunction "or", it is enough that the cleric just
selects one as the primary weapon. The weapons
described between parentheses are those permitted for all
the clergy of the Immortal and always include the
weapons referred to outside of the parentheses.
Cleric’s abilities and powers: The list of powers, spells,
general skills and abilities that the Immortal grants to his
specialist clerics. The abilities mentioned are listed in the
Manual of General Skills available online. As a rule, the
Immortal is able to grant a maximum number of skills
and powers based on his Immortal rank: Initiate: 1,
Temporal: 2, Celestial: 3, Empyreal: 4, Eternal: 5,
Hierarch: 6.
Abilities and powers of the defenders of the faith: The list of
powers, spells, general skills and abilities that the
Immortal grants to his defenders of the faith (paladins,
avengers or druid defenders – see Chapter 3). When this
entry isn't present, it means that the Immortal doesn't
anticipate having any defenders devoted to his cause. The
total number of skills and powers that the Immortal can
