The Sovereign Host

The nine gods of the Sovereign Host are worshipped collectively. Their enemies are the Dark Six. They are worshipped for blessings in this life; they do not reward the faithful in the afterlife. They are:

  • Arawai (Sovereign of Light and Love; fertility goddess)
  • Aureon (Sovereign of Law and Lore; magic god)
  • Balinor (Sovereign of Horn and Hunt; nature god)
  • Boldrei (Sovereign of Hearth and Home; community goddess)
  • Dol Arrah (Sovereign of Sun and Sacrifice; sun goddess)
  • Dol Dorn (Sovereign of Strength and Steel; war god)
  • Kol Korran (Sovereign of World and Wealth; trickster god)
  • Olladra (Sovereign of Feast and Good Fortune; luck goddess)
  • Onatar (Sovereign of Forge and Flame; forge god)

The Silver Flame

The Church of the Silver Flame is based in Thrane. It preaches that the faithful ought to live a noble life and fight evil wherever it is found. If they do, their souls will merge with the Silver Flame upon death, which is located in the largest cathedral in Thrane.

The Dark Six

This six evil gods splintered off from the Sovereign Host. They are sometimes worshipped by monsters, criminals or the insane. They are:

  • The Devourer (the destructive side of nature)
  • The Fury (passion driven to extremes)
  • The Keeper (greed and gluttony, and the undead)
  • The Mockery (dishonourable betrayal and unjust war)
  • The Shadow (corruption, ambition and dark magic)
  • The Traveller (chaos, change and transformation)
The Blood of Vol

The Blood of Vol believes that humans can become gods by unlocking the power within their blood.  They are often misunderstood by other religions as worshipping the dead. Their beliefs are associated with the Emerald Claw, a fascist/terrorist paramilitary organisation from Karrnath.

The Undying Court

An elvish cult based on the worship of their unliving ancestors. 

The Becoming God

Some warforged are seeking to build their own god. This faith is most common in the Mournlands, where the Becoming God is slowly being constructed.

Druidism

There are many different sects of druids. What they have in common is an attempt to live in harmony with nature and to shun the unnatural (different sects have different ideas about what is unnatural). Oalian, the ancient 'leader' of the druids, is a sentient oak tree in the Eldeen Reaches.
