Religions
FORTUNA - goddess of luck and fortune
Fortuna is the goddess often associated with rogues and often other ne'er-do-wells. She is depicted as a seductive and vibrant female, a tease to males with ever-changing moods. She is considered a female who comes in many different shapes and forms, all beautiful and enchanting. She shows no favoritism, and is as apt to leave a man as she is to make him rich.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
HELIA - goddess of the sun
Helia is known as a fiery maiden who fended off the fetters of matrimony and chose to live her eternity without a husband. Despite this, she wanted to have children, so she willed herself into pregnancy and gave birth to her preferred species--the Lions. She wanted creatures proud and strong, as she was, and just as independent. The Lions were wild and fiery, like their mother and creator, and over the years she has shown her love and favoritism to the breed.
Alignment: Neutral Good
THE HUNTSMAN - god of archery, animals, and the hunt
The Huntsman has never been named by mortal or immortal. He came into being in the wilds of the earth, with a bow and arrow made of light. He is said to have the power to command animals to do his bidding. He enjoys hunting the toughest prey, whether that is an animal or a warrior.
Alignment: True Neutral
MAGIA - the god of magic
It is not quite accurate to call Magia a god. Magia takes the form of a human with no face, only smooth skin where a face would have been. Its body is androgynous. Magia's flesh peeled away and from its mouth flowed all energy for magic. Whether this energy is harnessed for good or evil was seemingly not Magia's concern; it closed the hole in its face and never communicated again. Magia stays in the land of the gods, catatonic and seemingly unconcerned with mortal or immortal affairs, though it may be one of the most powerful deities that exist.
Alignment: Uncertain, but often seen as True Neutral
SINISTRA - goddess of murder and sacrifice
Worshiping Sinistra is seen largely as a taboo. She is the goddess of unjust murder and demands sacrifices from her followers, promising lavish returns on their obedience, and large-scale genocides are often performed in her name. She is often depicted as an attractive woman with no pupils or irises. Priests and Priestesses of Sinistra are the ones who oversee and command the sacrifices. She is the sister and direct rival of Sanctus.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
SANCTUS - god of retribution and justice
Sanctus is the god that is usually depicted outside courthouses and is widely worshiped by sorcerers. The brother of Sinistra, Sanctus is the god of good conscience and retribution for sin. He is depicted as a human man often with glowing eyes but, like his sister, no pupils or irises. He does not demand tribute or sacrifice in his name, only good will and benevolent actions from his followers to earn his blessing and to be rewarded by him.
Alignment: Lawful Good
PATHICA - goddess of adultery and lust
Pathica is the goddess of lechery, encouraging her followers to be as promiscuous as possible. Often her likeness is seen in brothels and red light districts where prostitution is frequent. She is seen as a woman only slightly more often than she is seen as a man, and is one of the gods that is known to meddle directly in the business of mortals. Many claim to have seen her (or him) in the streets or seducing married men. According to legend she was once married to Amavi, but the marriage ended when she had an affair with a mortal.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
AMAVI - god of love and matrimony
Amavi is the god the oversees all marriages and unions of people. His worshipers often become the priests and priestesses who perform marriages. He looks down on promiscuity and lechery, and his followers believe often in abstinence and consummation of marriage only after the ceremony has been performed. Much like Pathica, he is only seen as a man slightly more often than he is seen as a woman, and he is often said to be seen wandering the streets, although he is not known to do so nearly as much as Pathica. He is often seen in murals sending Pathica away for her adultery.
