The Gods of man, also known as the warrior pantheon or the invader gods.

Attilios, Lord of the wild.

Appears as: A grey furred wolf wearing a crown of bone. Some depictions show him as an anthropomorphized figure, in others he is just a big wolf.

Is the deity of: The wilderness, hunting, the moon, savage horde-like warfare.

Mostly worshipped by: Berserkers, hunters, woodsmen.

Personality:  Attilios is an animalistic and fierce god. It is not difficult to gain his attention, but to truly impress him followers must perform feats of exceptional strength and violence while also maintaining the law of the pack. Attilios thrives on violence and conflict, when things are too peaceful for his liking he intentionally causes discord amongst his followers to see who emerges as the apex predator.

Recommended offerings: Flesh and bones of slain enemies.

 

Khazaan, The mountain king.

Appears as: A white eagle wearing a crown of stone.

Is the deity of: The wilderness, hunting, mountains, the sky.

Mostly worshipped by: Wanderers, wisemen, hunters.

Personality: Khazaan is often regarded as the brother of Attilios; while they may share some of their domain, Khazaan’s favor goes out to those lone wanderers that think before they strike instead of the savage hordes of his brother. When Khazaan unleashes a tempest upon the mortal plane he often does so out of a desire to speed something along that is already in place, not out of wrath; though he cares not for any collateral damage.

Recommended offerings: Placing the first arrow out of a quiver at a lone tree or near a mountain is said to draw attention from the sky god.

Vasili, The good doctor.

Appears as: A slender built man, his face is always obscured by his long hair. He is often seen wielding a cane with a bird perched on top in his right hand and a bundle of lavender in his left.

Is the deity of: Medicine, flowers, alchemy.

Mostly worshipped by: Doctors, scientists, sick people hoping to be cured.

Personality: Vasili is a kindhearted god, he stands for the advancement of science and the curing of those that have fallen ill. In conflicts Vasili remains neutral, aiming to aid both sides equally without directly harming the other. His followers are expected to harbor the same neutrality (though they often fail in this) with one exception: Demons and those that intentionally spread plagues upon innocents are marked for death.

Recommended offerings: Flowers, the first drop of a medicine.

 

Zaelusa, Shining knight.

Appears as:  A knight in silver plate armor, her battle-scarred face is usually behind the visor of a close helmet. She is often depicted wielding a flaming longsword and a tower shield.

Is the deity of: War, weapons, (divine) justice.

Mostly worshipped by: Soldiers, knights, those who stand against demons.

Personality: Zaelusa is the goddess of war, as such she loves a good fight, but never without reason. If a mortal general doubts if a war is just he would pray to Zaelusa for an answer (though this justice is always skewed to favor humans). Unlike the raging Attilios, Zaelusa does not seek to cause as much carnage as possible in a fight, she only wishes to bring rightful punishment to the enemies of the divines.

Recommended offerings: The fallen banner of an enemy legion, a weapon that has served its purpose well, burning anything demon related.

 

Imethos, The grand sorcerer.

Appears as:  An old man with a long white beard, his face is always hidden behind a simple white mask. He is most often depicted wearing dark red robes and holding a grail and a scepter. Sometimes he is shown having eight white feathered wings behind him.

Is the deity of: Magic, wisdom, stars, fate.  

Mostly worshipped by: Wizards, scribes, oracles.

Personality: If the human pantheon had a leader it would be Imethos, the oldest and wisest of the gods. He is a great thinker and a cunning strategist, his mastery over the arcane arts is said to be absolute and to suffer his wrath would be a fate worse than death; but luckily old Imethos is very difficult to truly anger. The grand sorcerer doesn’t usually meddle in mortal affairs, preferring to stay secluded in the divine world. The continued existence of the warrior pantheon is often attributed to the grand sorcerer’s foresight, allowing him to steer humanity and the pantheon out of harm’s way.

Recommended offerings: A ceremonial lead coin painted gold.


This is part one of the "gods series", these are the gods that I'm happy with and will stay. There might be more gods in the future, otherwise look forward to angels and champions.

May the Powers guide thy way to enlightenment,
