Pantheon

A
trio of Gods ascend from the previous universe,
taking the almighty chains and entering them,
rewriting its cells and molecular make up. With
the trio come Nevaris, a great warrior poet and
philosopher. Knowing his role, he prepares
himself for the newborn universes life. With
great sadness and Love, he sheds a single tear
before becoming the spear of re-writing: Nevaris. The trio
keep his tear safe and sacred as a last memory of their
departed friend. As the trio debate, their opposing ideas are
versed into stars within the great links. Twinkling words
emanate and create without permission or intention, as the
trio is as inexperienced as the child-universe. From the head
of wisdom came blue. From the head of passion came red.
From the head of wonder came yellow. These three, in the
centuries of debate created all colors, blending in the void to
create written records of an ancient argument. Within their
own words did they find power uncontrollable.
Communication was sparse in the coming era, as the trio
searched for the less-expensive language: speech. While they
discovered speech, the newborn universe interacted with
itself, attracting forms of mass in clumps like scar tissue upon
the festering wounds of a bomb-deafened oblivion. The trio
wished to bandage their child-universe, and a single droplet
from the tear of Nevaris was placed upon the wounds. Seas
and oceans fell into the bleeding planets. And so spun the
scars of our universe. Through the water came a breath from
the head of passion, filtered through the hex-helixed genes
contained within the tear of Nevaris. The breath broke off
three of the six helices, allowing a seed to be planted. From
these three helixes spawned life--the first of its kind. We, the
Xanos, were once a parasite of the child-universe, but in our
shared maturity, gained a symbiotic relationship with the
aging chains.
-Holy Scriptures of The Three, Chapter 1: Verse 1-10
The World of Nixclamor boasts an expansive, semi-loose
pantheon of gods and goddesses, providing players with many
choices when it comes to faith. Will you be a nature-loving
druid of Solace, an evil warlock of Dagon, or a cleric
dedicated to The Three?

Major Deities of
Nixclamor
While all of the gods in the pantheon are worshiped by their
respective churches and cults, there are a few that stand
above the rest when it comes to history. The Three, Garridan,
Tyyl-gorest, Solace, Kaj, and Dagon have all left profound
impressions on Nixclamor.
The Three
The Three boast a trio of gods: The God of Wisdom and
Light, The God of Passion and Love, and the God of Peace
and Tranquility. These three beings are credited with the
creation of the universe, and are widely worshiped across
nearly all civilized cultures. The God of Passion is usually
depicted as seven spinning wheels covered in eyes, centered
around an anatomical heart. The God of Peace is often seen
as seven pairs of connected wings with eyes on each joint.
The God of Wisdom is commonly seen as a lion with feathers
for a mane, and seven eyes.
Their Tenants are:
1. Love your brother and sister, and do not forsake them.
2. Protect the innocent and weak; provide for those less
fortunate.
3. Remain calm in all things; do not let your emotions
control your actions.
the lives of your brother and sister.
5. Love unconditionally, as we love you.
Worship and rituals vary from culture to culture, but there
are three festivals common to their faith worldwide: The
festival of Passion, The Feast of Tranquility, and The Week of
Enlightenment.
Solace
Solace is the goddess of Spring, fertility, and she is the
protector of the seasons. She is the patron goddess of many
druids and nature domain clerics, as well as farmers, hunters,
and fisherman. Unlike most deities, she has reported
sightings in the material plane; those that claim to have seen
her describe her as an exceptionally tall, fair skinned woman
with rich brown hair that touches the ground. She has a pair
of large antlers, and those that have seen her up close say
that she smells of honey and pollen, and her body hair is
made of small flowers.
Her tenants are:
1. Preserve the circle of life, let it not become unbalanced.
2. Dwell in the hidden meadows and elven glades of old;
respect and love nature.
3. Work hard in the winter season of life so that you may
have a bountiful harvest come summer.
4. Give back to nature a portion of what it has given you. Be
thankful for the blessings it provides.
5. Treasure all life, no matter what role it may play.

Worshiping Solace is often done in sacred groves preserved
by her followers, where incense is burned and seeds are
planted in her honor. Maternity is considered a blessing, and
in many ways worship, of Solace. There is a Festival held
with every first harvest of the crops: The Festival of First
Fruits. During this festival, a feast is held in a place of her
worship. A portion of these crops are left in the groves and
hollows, in hopes that Solace will take them as tribute and
multiply them.
Kaj, the cat in the Library
While most gods have a set of followers that believe in direct
influence over their lives in some way, Kaj is different.
Surprisingly little is known about the deity, and some even
speculate if it even exists. Kaj is the patron of many wizards
and scholars, being cited as the most intelligent deity in
existence. This belief stems from those that claim to have
visited his realm, The Library of Kaj. The library is an
infinitely large study with millions upon millions of books on
every subject. The library is organized into halls and rooms,
each covering different topics. The library is eerily quiet, and
those that have visited say that it is a lonely, though
enlightening, experience. There are no librarians; the only
being that has ever been seen inside is lazy tabby cat.
Kajs Tenants are:
1. Knowledge is power.
2. Endeavor to learn, and do not ignore your studies.
3. Share your knowledge with the world so that others may
expand upon it.
4. Keep no secrets from your fellow learner; let all be known.
5. All knowledge is worthy of learning. Do not turn your nose
up due to disinterest.
His worshipers are seen as less dedicated than those that
follow other faiths. Kajs faith lacks any complex rituals, as
simply learning, sharing and applying knowledge is seen as a
form of worship. Some cities celebrate a festival dedicated to
Kaj, where all bookstores have sales and academies offer free
classes to the public.
Garridan
Garridan. The Nightmare. The dreamer. The Raven-head.
These names all refer to the ancient, unknowable enemy of
the universe. There is no public church to this being, only
obscure cults. Garridan is a fragment of some nigh-
unthinkable entity of the previous universe, and followed The
Three into this one only to destroy it. Fortunately, when
Garridan entered the universe, it fell into a deep slumber,
unable to directly harm the new creation. From its dreams
manifested the outer gods: Cthuhlu, Nyarlayotep, Yog
Sothoth, Dagon, and Shub Niggoroth. Cultists worshiping
Garridan often choose a specific aspect that they admire. At
least six aspects exist, and each is represented by a specific
animal.
The Aspects:
1. The Bat: Wisdom, caution, and dwelling in the shadows.
2. The Dragon: Strength, domination, and conquering the
weak.
3. The Octopus: Intellegence, adaptability, and secret plots.
4. The Raven: Charisma, mimicry, and scheming.
5. The Scorpion: Constitution, endurance, accomplishing
ones goals patiently.
6. The Spider: Dexterity, opportunism, and spinning
elaborate plans.
The cultists that serve Garridan have unknown motives.
Their knowledge is protected by many elaborate webs of
political relationships, secret codes, and deep conspiracies.
They are credited with many destructive acts, assassinations,
and even events that started wars.
PART 1 | PANTHEON
Tyyl-gorest, the Lich King
The Lich Kings name has been struck from historical
records, but that did not stop his popularity from being
revived among cults and necromancers. Tyyl-gorest was
supposedly the first Lich, becoming undead via a terrible
ritual that removes one soul and places it in an arcane
phylactery. His elven name is lost to the ages, but it is known
that Tyyl once ruled over an ancient kingdom, but grew
jealous of the immortal nature of the gods. He mastered
necromancy, and eventually defeated death itself. The
horrendous atrocities that he committed have been removed
from the records, but his well-deserved banishment was
carried out by a group of heroes know as The Founders.
Some say his phylactery still exists on the material plane, but
this isnt widely accepted. Most believe he ascended to
something akin to a god, and in his godhood opened up the
death magics of necromancy to the material plane.
Adventurers seek a series of artifacts that Tyyl left behind:
The staff of the Raven, the Skull of Tyyl, Pure Grave Dust, and
the Crown of the Lich King.
Dagon
Dagon is the mad god of change and destruction. He is one of
the dream-spawn of Garridan, and from his own chaotic mind
came the races of old: The Elder Things, the Yith, and
Illithids. Dagon governs a plane of pure chaos, said to
resemble a deep ocean that is constantly being barraged by
storms and unpredictable currents. Great horrors lurk in the
depths of this ocean, and some have been spotted in the seas
of the material planes. Deep in the oceans there are portals
that connect the two planes, allowing leviathans and krakens
to swim freely between them. The Tenants of Dagon:
1. Change is valuable, and not to be feared.
2. Every being is of their own will, not to be subjugated.
3. No authority is worth bowing to.
4. Provide to the depths of the ocean and what dwells there.
5. Remain spontaneous.
Cults of Dagon are responsible for the corruption and
sacrifice of countless sailing vessels, coastal communities
and fishing villages. When an entire fleet of ships goes astray,
there is a saying: Dagon must have been hungry.
