The Pantheons Within Tales of Dasaron

Pantheons are a simplification for grouping gods and goddesses that sentient creatures follow and believe in across Terra and even the multiverse. They are mostly divided based on the realms they are from, but there are exceptions to this system. For example, people separate the Druidic Pantheon from the Vallarian Pantheon, even though the gods and goddesses of the Druidic Pantheon come from Vallarian. This demonstrates that a god or goddess being part of a Pantheon does not necessarily imply a close relationship with other deities, and conversely, gods or goddesses can be closely related even if they are not part of the same Pantheon.

Each god and goddess is powerful not only because of their high levels of magical arcane energy but also due to their followers, who provide them with a different type of magical energy called divine energy. This divine energy is derived from belief, whether in a deity, a system, or anything else associated with belief. Being believed in is what makes gods and goddesses truly powerful. The primary reason creatures believe in a god or goddess is often because they resonate with the deity's epithet. Every god or goddess has three epithets, but the beliefs within their Pantheon are usually more complex than these basic three epithets. Such details are typically known only to devout followers.

The Druidic Pantheon

The Druidic Pantheon comprises a group of gods and goddesses that rule over the seasons in Vallarian. This is unique compared to other continents because the deities in this Pantheon have formed a pact known as the Pact of Everseason. One of the major criteria for being part of the Druidic Pantheon is that every god and goddess listed must continue to abide by the rules they created together.

Furthermore, the gods and goddesses in this Pantheon typically have additional epithets connected to nature or aspects that benefit creatures or society through nature. Additionally, they usually possess another epithet related to their own ambitions and, consequently, the ambitions of their followers.

  • Ethaka, God of Spring, Fertility, and Loyalty (LG)
  • Lysithea, Goddess of Summer, Joy, and Harvest (NG)
  • Vehtya The Goddess of Winter, Hunting, and Family (NG)
  • Amandri The God of Autumn, Misfortune, and Exploration (NN)

The Vallarian Pantheon

The Vallarian Pantheon is a subgroup used to describe the gods and goddesses who govern Vallarian and its people living within the continent. While the gods and goddesses in this Pantheon have their realms not within the realm of Terra or even in Vallarian, they all have their realms in demi-planes. This arrangement is due to the fact that they don't govern realms as extensive as some gods and goddesses that rule over entire domains. This demi-plane approach makes sense because gods and goddesses require a place where the souls of those taken by them can reside without causing instability in the actual realm. Much like other gods and goddesses, the souls of their followers also go to a demi-plane that they've created. However, unlike others, the Vallarian Pantheon has bound their demi-plane into Vallarian, which explains why they are named as they are.

The Vallarian Pantheon is one of the largest Pantheons in existence. Most of these deities came into existence after the fall of the Vallarian, which was a group of demi-gods that created the continent in opposition to the Eldar. The Eldar were believed to be creatures beyond the veil. However, the Vallarian can't be counted as gods or goddesses because they are deceased, and they aren't as powerful as the current gods and goddesses. The sheer number of gods and goddesses governing Vallarian has made Terra, especially Vallarian, one of the weirdest places in the entire multiverse. Other realms typically have a single god or goddess governing them, while Vallarian has many. Nevertheless, the diversity in gods and goddesses is something Terra and Vallarian share with other realms.

  • Stella Huskkan, The Goddess of War, Smiting, and Cooperation (LN)
  • Yilltasre The God of Deals, Law, and Punishment (LE)
  • Valls, The Goddess of Truth, Justice, and Writing (NG)
  • Gidro Bal, The God of Trades, Protection, and Craft (NG)
  • Kaggri The God of Sailing, Knowledge, and Undead (NN)
  • Daskard, The God of Honor, Song, and Poetry (NN)
  • Nimberdia, The God of Freedom, Redemption, and Storms (CG)

The Multiverse Pantheon

The term "Multiverse Pantheon" is used by people within Terra to refer to other gods and goddesses who rule over realms such as Celestia or the Nine Hells. These deities govern other realms but are still able to bestow blessings and divine power upon those who believe in and follow them. However, the gods and goddesses in this pantheon are generally less influential in Vallarian or Titanfall and among the people. Their primary influence is not within Vallarian or Titanfall, which means they do not have as much impact as those who follow gods and goddesses in other pantheons. Nevertheless, being gods and goddesses with followers, they can still project their power through paladins, clerics, and holy sites. However, compared to the Vallarian pantheon, they do not have as many followers, as mentioned before.

The Multiverse Pantheon includes gods and goddesses that rule over realms accessible through traveling in the dangerous yet mythical Astral Sea. Some of these deities govern over demi-planes that are not bound to any particular realm. This is a rare occurrence, with only two beings known to govern realms in this manner, namely, Talia and Lord Death. Lord Death, much like the Six Stars of Fate, mostly guides those who have passed from their mortal coil into a realm that fits their life the most. The Six Stars do not have a demi-plane to store the souls of their followers, but Lord Death remains shrouded in mystery, as is the case with most of these gods and goddesses, even to their followers.

  • Talia the Weaver, Goddess of Time, Mirror, and Weaving (LG)
  • The Six Stars of Fate, The God of The Six Stars, Hope, and Fate/Destiny (LG)
  • Lord Death, The God of Death, Grim Reaper, and Order (LN)
  • Ilvakar Mithso, The God of The Nine Hells, Violence, and Ill-Luck (LE)
  • Limia, The Goddess of Shadowfell, Night or The Moon , and Traitor (NE)
