Introduction
The Realms Pantheon is a homebrew pantheon used in The Five Realms setting. The pantheon currently consists of one All-God and thirteen additional gods, all of whom are recognised as being their own distinct entities and are all considered to actually exist.
Pantheon
Most people in The Five Realms setting are Pantheon followers, meaning that they give respect to all the gods within the pantheon and will pray to the deity relevant to their current situation e.g to Inferis, Goddess of the natural order and the underworld, when a loved one passes. Some people may favour one god over the others, for example Bellus is especially popular in Visia, or a smith might favour Malleo. Acolytes, Priests/Priestess, Clerics and some Paladins are especially devout to a specific god, and may have been chosen by that god or blessed by that god for their devotion.
The pantheon has seen a shake up in recent years. In 0AR the All-God, Ævar, returned briefly after being forgotten following a 3000 year absence, following being killed by Sicarius. Upon the discovery of Ævar's tyranny, he, along with Opus and Kallita, were killed by a group of adventurers, and King Alistair Sonnique of Mironia, and replaced by Astaroth as All-God. In 1AR Astaroth created two new gods Caesius:, and Latique.
