Saerles: The Sundered Continent

Deities and the Divine

With the Great Sundering ended and the balance being restored, the mantle of
heaven laid barren to the touch of deistic power. The old world drowned in darkness
and its faith lost to the chaos of the cosmos. The old gods are lost and their teachings
were swallowed in the dark times of the Great Sundering. The world needed those who
would take up the mantle thus issuing in a New Pantheon. Those who fought the
Darkness, combated its evil and helped rebalance the cosmos assumed their new roles in
necessity of the coming dawn. Like a phoenix rising from the ash, new deities rose
rekindled in the faith of mortals.
 The New Pantheon: A New Dawn Comes

Mortals have found solace in the teachings and presence of new gods and goddesses. In the
wake of the Great Sundering has come a New Dawn; its light now shining over all. Those who fought
the Darkness and truly served the purpose of the divine have been recognized as the New Pantheon.
These are their members, domains and roles amongst the mortal’s faith and dedication.
Their origins lie obscured even to the most devout of clergy, but what is certain is that during
the Great Sundering the old gods had long since gone when they arrived. With the heavens laid barren
for the new mantle of the gods and within their power held the consequences of the world. In their
mercy and justice the sins of the old world were washed away and an age of sanctuary fell onto the
realm’s races and creatures.

Athor the Earth Mother
When the denizens of the old world
retreated underground they found the new
horrors below barely outweighed the darkness
outside. Families displaced and society felled to
the overwhelming despair. When safety was
found within the underground the mortals
found cohesion and regrowth of culture in the
nurturing bosom of Athor.
Athor’s embrace was felt from early
man within the caves and natural passages in
the underground. Her intervention allowed for
mortals to find themselves again and eventually
return to the surface in safety.
When the Great Sundering came to an
end and her safety was no longer required she
ascended to the surface to revitalize the
grounds. The ground that was once barren
wastes transformed to her touch. In her grace
she rose mountains filled with the
underground’s bounties to satisfy mortal’s
desire for metal. She helped cultivate the soil
for nature to take its course towards making
food and living possible on the surface again.
Athor is described as a motherly goddess
with a flowing dress and rustic apparel. She
wore no weapons, but in time she took up the
scythe for harvest and a pickaxe for delving.
Her symbol is simple in design to represent her
many roles and colored green for hearth and
vitality, brown and black for the rich soil and
minerals she provides.
For a long time Athor’s followers have
been mistaken as lesser clergy of other Gods
such as Morgrod or Lorxius, but their doctrine
has evolved to encompass its own set of rituals,
morals and purpose. Although Athor’s divine
power covers both nature and the earth her
true power lies in her humble followers. Her
supporters can always be found in modest folk,
laborious professions and those living simple
lifestyle in a harsh world.

Nikena the Vanguard of Justice
Falling darkness skewed many lines
physically and morally. The boundaries blurred
as mortals contested and fought for the sake of
chaos and disorder. In the dark sin roamed
unopposed, but then rose the New Dawn!
Alongside the burning light came Nikena
and her wisdom. With a booming presence and
power to resolve conflict she became a face to
the common man and his strife. She fought
against the Darkness during the Great Sundering
and help bring order to the mortal realms. She
has joined in the conflicts of mortal and gods,
brought order and justice to the edges of the
world and kept it enlightened with her
guidance.
Nikena has granted many boons and
power to mortals and throughout history has
been credited to actions against plague, famine
and war! Even without her divine intervention
her words have been recorded and translated
throughout history and kept to the paper of
books and scrolls in every leader’s bookshelf
and library.
With the hardships ahead and conflict always
brewing Nikena along with her respective gods
and goddesses are prayed to for their help and
guidance. Nikena and her influence is felt
throughout civilization and its bastions of law
and order.
Her symbol represents life, order, justice
and the balance between all of them. Her
image during conflict is that of an armor clad
woman with a long spear or large sword, but in
peace her image has grown to incorporate her
symbol of scales, a small gavel and hair tied up
cordially. Her most devout followers are found
amongst her Judges and Lawyers of Nikon, a
city state of democracy, religious fervor and
lawful disposition against corruption. Her
followers are sought after for their wisdom,
influence and problem solving capability with
the law as well as prowess in battle.

Soltares the God of War
In times of crisis mortals look to the gods
for aid, but Soltares was the one the Gods look
towards in times of conflict and strife. During
the Great Sundering his power and fervor for
battle carved a path through darkness the likes
others could not. His burning ambition for
conflict and carnage was well directed and
fueled by the other gods as his victories inspired
mortals into action, however there was always
a price. When the Great Sundering came to a
close and the titanic forces of darkness and its
evil sunk deep below and far from sight,
Soltares was a now a God without purpose.
At first his rage was kept in check as he
roamed through his domain, the battlefields
and scorched earth of his victories. His thrill for
combat was well founded and received by the
mortals who on the sights of major battles built
settlements. Soltares thrill for combat fulfilled
by revisiting these sites and destroying all who
would threaten these now holy sites. In time
these settlements grew and he adopted a
following of his own against the remaining trials
of the world.
These did not satisfy the fervent God
Soltares as his power and rage only knew
combat and war. In his arrogance he would
challenge the very Gods he fought alongside for
the promise of glory and victory. It was only
through intervention by Nikena that his
conquests ceased and she gave onto him
wisdom and serenity that comes with peace.
Soltares’ doctrine alongside his
destructive nature have changed throughout
history, but what has remained is clear;
Overcome conflict through strength. His symbol
is a torch with crossed swords reflecting his gifts
and strength given to mortals. His followers are
manipulators of the Eternal Flame, warriors of
honor and the people of Soltan who dedicate
him as their patron. His image is that of an
armor clad warrior bursting with flames.

thick with the seed of corruption and strife! The fight against the Darkness has taken
those who have fought against it and corrupted them to the core. Even with its defeat,
these fallen heralds have stuck to their following and even attracted a following with
their own presence. These new evils cut even deeper when the faithful learn of their
origins and the tragedy surrounding them.

Erenyx the Messenger of Darkness
At the conception of the New Pantheon,
Erenyx was a herald of good and was a fervent
ally of Xiplo. They shared a mutual dedication
to the Light and Protection against the Darkness
and evil that plagued the world. However,
when it finally came time to vanquish and
banish out Darkness she became corrupted by it
rather than stand firm like Xiplo. Once a noble
herald of light she found herself alone in the
deepest corners of the Earth begging for the
agony to end!
She began hearing voices, the maddening
whispers of an ancient evil now laid down. The
Darkness she had fought so long to keep at bay
now fed her head with direction and spite
towards the world. At first she stood by Xiplo’s
tutoring, but in time like the poor mortals she
swore to protect she snapped under the
immense presence of corruptive energies.
The whispers never stopped and now
she was drawn to hiding in the cracks and
crevices forever shunned by the light. Its touch
burned her once pale skin as her form gradually
turned lucid and morphed into a being of fluid
shadow.
With her new powers and under the
influence of a maddening monster her insanity
started to piece together sense from the
information. She grew a following and
instructed them towards her own madness.
Her original symbol has been lost to
time as well as original texts of her involvement
with other powers before her corruption.
Instead now her symbol is that of a vile eye
surrounded by various appendages and ghastly
shapes. Her form is amorphous and even

imaginative and wicked rather than familiar or

with the surface as well as brought major

that influence them. Those who willingly seek

delve into shadow and gloom.

Zerdar the Damned Tyrant
Zerdar was once a name carried to the
defense of mortals, their struggles and
eventually sanctuary among the dead. His
power among the New Pantheon was that of a
guiding shepherd for during the Great
Sundering the mortal soul did not escape
suffering in death!
Like moths to a flame the mortal soul
was drawn to Zerdar and his bastion of light
among the Gods! His presence rivaled even that
of Xiplo whose light brought the morning. Ego
and pride overwhelmed the herald and soon his
ambitions sought for more than simple service.
With his gift and talent the honorable Zerdar
began a descent into damnation.
The gods were truly powerful and even
with the New Dawn and the combined efforts
of mortal and God there was always a stronger
force hidden within the Darkness. Zerdar
ventured alongside his fellow Gods to sally
forth against this Darkness, but like Erenyx he
couldn’t step away from the temptation of such
power. Whether out of greed, lust for power or
perhaps an attempt to usurp the Darkness
Zerdar took within him the dark essence and

Now his name brought only dread and
with the fall of Darkness rose a new kingdom
below. Deep below past Athor’s sight and
deeper than Xiplo’s light could touch, Zerdar
built his new domain, an empire built on lost
souls! His worshippers are all those who would
taint or corrupt life or death to their whim,
necromancy of the foulest intent.
While other powers seek to retain life
and death’s cycle, Zerdar and his minions only
seek to cheat and rule over it with power. His
symbol therefor is a laughing skull affixed with
a crown and blue hellish flames. Zerdar’s
corruption runs deep in his followers and his
images as his once pure Godly skin is now
covered in shrouds and his face hidden even
from the eyes of other powers.

 Devil and Demonic Deities
Before the Great Sundering there was a relative balance to the universe. The
planes spun in harmony around the energies that fluctuated throughout. This balance
was disrupted with the off set of two opposing energies, Positive and Negative Energy.
A great reserve of negative energy collected amongst the planes and it grew from the
sentient life and its tampering. Speculation of powerful magic, abuse of power and
corruption all paled in comparison to the storm brought upon the cosmos as Darkness
slipped into our world. With it came black darkened Negative energy and it stained the
planes with its vile nature.
One of the prime examples of its vile touch are the denizens of the realm now
called Hell. Toxic stone and boiling ash have cleansed the previous inhabitants of it and
all of the lower planes and replaced it with hideous monsters, outsiders and fiends!
Unfortunately this is not the worst of it for there are powers hidden away from even
the God’s vision as the dwellers of Hell have their own deities, but unlike the Material
Plane they are neither kind nor merciful.

power to consume. In his conquests he came
across one who would be his equal, Penelope!
In his arrogance he tried to consume her
only to be brought low by her overwhelming
aura of madness! In this moment of weakness
Devian was victim to his own will, drawn to
lust by the insane Penelope. Instead of

In her earliest forms she appeared as
little more than swamp gas, but in time this
amalgamation took shape as a collective energy
built up from its denizens. A powerful mixture
of planar energy and the residual essence within
the lesser creatures were consumed by this
gaseous form giving rise to Penelope!
Her presence is the stuff of nightmares
and though her voice could mimic that of a
soothing calming mistress, it will only bring
misery and the sweet taste of death. Surviving
primarily off the desires and essence of other
living creatures, Penelope was satisfied being
stranded in her own sea of ecstasy and
deranged pleasures. Then she met the terrible
being known as Devian.
Her consumption over the weak had left
her strong, but she could never best the brute
that was the Lord of Terror. His fangs and claws
would have devoured her whole if not for the
beguiling aura she possessed amassed with her
own strong essence. In their stalemate Devian
arranged to have Penelope betrothed and kept
to grant him strong children to consume and
empower himself. Penelope after being left
battered and driven mad with his show of force
had other plans. As promised she bore many
children, horrifying and mutated into the first
Demons, but she held her true spawn away
from Devian until she was ready.
Like Devian, Penelope’s worshippers
have ranged the scales from devout Devil
worshippers to crazed zealous murderers and
mad men. Her symbol held by her chaotic
cultists have been carved into their flesh as a
burning fanged skull or flaming eyes within a
cloud. Her appearance as described from those

Sophian the Daughter of Hell
Sophian was born of both Penelope and
Devian. Her original purpose to feed Devian’s
desire for power while her true purpose from
Penelope was to liberate her from her father’s
tyranny. In her maturity Penelope unleashed
her onto Devian, but her power grew too great
to control alone. Sophian instead of liberating
her mother now stood to take over and destroy
everything in her path!
Sophian’s rampage threatened to tear
the realm apart including her father and
mother. In a final act of desperate cooperation
both Penelope and Devian used their infernal
and abyssal power to banish their creation out
of the lower planes!
Sophian arrived in in the Material in a
weakened state. The now exiled Sophian was
deprived the agony and emotion of Hell,
sapping her strength and leaving her vulnerable.
She was forced to hide and regain her power
from the mortals of the realm, slowly gaining
strength from their conflict, emotion and
experiences. In her isolation from Hell the
powers that fueled her also morphed as the
strong emotion she prayed upon was now
mixed with love, happiness and hope. In a cruel
sense she warped the world with her entry as
well as changed because of the world around
her.
Sophian’s symbol has changed over time
as her cults and clergy radically fought amongst
themselves, but presently feature a sort of tiara
with a single eye in the center. Her appearance
is also debated as she could shift from her
“True” form to more pleasing images also
giving rise to the claim that she is an
embodiment of the illusion school of magic.
Even as a daughter of hell her clergy are not
actual devil or demon worshippers, but are still
misunderstood as so. Conflict with her
followers primarily comes from their belief that
she is both a force of misfortune and illusion
that should be respected in hopes to not to
incite her wrath.

 Draconic Deities
Dragons are one of the few beings to recall time and history before the Great
Sundering. It is instinctual that all Dragons recall their origins, their power and the great
ones that came before them. Unlike other mortals, a Dragon’s blood is interconnected
to the source of all Dragonkind and its source. This innate connection gives them
everything from their power and magic to their egos and envy. A True Dragon learns of
his ancestry through its blood, it boils with the power of Heaven and the waters of
creation. It is this connection that drives many Dragons to lash out and take action upon
mortals and the Gods alike. From coveting hordes, to collecting worshippers and even
stealing power from the divine, Dragons have held spite since birth to gain what is
thought rightfully theirs. Throughout history there have been many great Dragons that
would challenge the dominion of mortals, but during the Great Sundering many such
beings died in the wake of overwhelming devastation. Those that came after still hold
their blood and have kept Draconic dominance over the skies, although now they
compete with the New Pantheon and a new world shaped around them.
