Pantheon

The gods of Alethustria are many and varied. The main pantheon, known as the Ten colloquially, cover many of the most important domains to the daily lives of citizens. In addition, there are many lesser gods worshipped throughout Alethustria as well. Some are known only to their adherents, while others may see their faithful all throughout the globe.

The Ten
The greatest and most powerful gods of Alethustria. These gods are worshipped by nearly the entire population.
