The Deities of Esterron
The Deities of Esterron
The Deities of Esterron
hese Gods in times gone by, had frequently interacted with the material plane
T
placing their favor in chosen mortals. After centuries however, much of their
religions have been lost to time with even their names being forgotten. They are
now only referred to by their epithets and their duties simply to be commanding
the natural forces of Esterron. Their worship outside of specific clerical cults,
druidic circles, ancient temples, and community traditions that have survived the
sands of time, are almost nonexistent.
The Fisher:
od of the Seas:
G
As temperamental as the seas themselves, they were a common deity of coastal and
fishing cities. Outside of ancient fishing traditions and legends, the deity is not
worshiped in larger Esterron. Not much is known regarding their machinations but
it is believed this is intentional with how little is known about what lies beneath the
waves of the seas surrounding Esterron.
The Moon:
od of the Moon, and Life and Death:
G
A popular deity among still-standing ancient temples and druidic circles, larger
temples claim that their presence is within every aspect of the natural world. They
claim the Moon is the most stubborn of all deities keeping watch to ensure the
natural order never alters its course. Though it is more often believed that the deity
is as fluid as the phases of the moon: always ever-changing, but never deviating
from the natural path. This includes the cycle of life and death itself.
The Mother:
Goddess of Creation, Keeper of the Flame of Creation:
ore of a natural force than a deity. She is the progenitor of the material world and
M
acts to keep its existence stable. A piece of her Flame is found in all that live upon
Esterron. Her will is not dictated but interpreted by those who still worship the Old
Gods.
The Storm:
oddess of Skies and Storms:
G
Prayed to by the first farmers in Esterron millennia ago. Rituals to bring needed rain
to crops have lasted through that time and continue to be used in various villages
and towns in the modern era. Her temperament and anger has earned her a place
as a popular deity of the Barbarians of Eatho who praise her through great deeds in
battle. Temples to this god claim that the winds of Esterron are Her whispers of
stories long past that echo through the trees and plains of the continent.
The Sun:
oddess of Light and Patron of the Crafts and Forge:
G
She is the source of all light and heat in its many forms. Ancient dwarves, while
hidden away in their mountain halls, discovered the secret of capturing her light
within brilliant gems and crystals and worshiped these containers, claiming they
held "the divine light of inspiration". Many of these crystals were used to light the
enormous dwarven citadels of old, bringing sunlight where none might be found.
The Weaver:
od of Knowledge and Magic:
G
The deity is believed to continuously weave a great tapestry that depicts all of
Esterron's history as it emerges. The keeper of fate and bringer of prophecies, the
Weaver sees all the branching paths of the future as they stretch towards the
infinite horizon. In the beginning, he was the one to interweave magic into the
fabric of creation. Followers of him refer to this magic as a gift. The Weaver's Gift is
a natural force of Esterron and is interwoven with the fabric of reality. The
articulars of its workings is not known but there are many theories, the greatest of
p
which claim that through will, intent, and faith (for divine magic), individuals tap
into the magic that bubbles under the surface of reality.
