Dorn Pantheon

The tapestry of divinity is woven with threads both radiant and shadow. We revere Releous, bearer of light and order, yet we must not forget that he once stood alongside Asmodeus and Lilith in the Age of Communion. The fall of the Mother of Unmaking serves as a stark reminder that even the mightiest can stumble. The Godfall War that followed shows us that divine wisdom is not infallible. Yet, it is in this very complexity that we find the true essence of faith. For in understanding the struggles of the gods, we gain insight into our own path. Releous chose to prioritize the mortal realm and its flourishing, a choice that shapes our duty to this day. As we navigate the intricacies of divine history, let us remember that it is not blind devotion, but thoughtful faith that truly honors the gods.

— High Cleric Aurum Veritatis, "Reflections on Divine Complexities"

  The Dorn Pantheon is a vast and diverse array of divine beings, each overseeing unique aspects of existence that touch every facet of mortal life. From creation to destruction, love to war, and nature to civilization, these deities embody the complex tapestry of the cosmos. What truly distinguishes this pantheon is its universal appeal; gods are not bound to specific races or cultures but are worshipped across diverse communities. An elven ranger might revere the same deity of the hunt that a dwarven craftsman beseeches for precision, fostering unexpected connections between different peoples. This shared worship creates a rich, interconnected web of faith that spans the realms, reflecting the multifaceted nature of life itself and offering divine guidance for every conceivable mortal endeavor.
