The Gods of Monster Hunter

in World Encyclopedia

The Five

The Five were the creators of the world and the Upper Planes. They populated the universe with creatures and blessed the many of the first humans with their power, creating the first races. Once their work was done, the Five left aspects of themselves to watch over their creation before leaving the Universe. The Five were never named, and only ever referenced by their number.
The Tale of the Five

The Aspects

The Aspects were created from a portion of the Five's power. They are the leaders of all lesser gods and the creators of "The Great Wheel". They are also responsible, albeit unintentionally, for the creation of the god, Fatalis, and the Lower Planes.

The First Aspect: Io

The Second Aspect: Pelor

The Third Aspect: Bahamut

The Fourth Aspect: Tiamat

The Fifth Aspect Eldath

The Lesser Gods

Also known as "The Guardians", were originally members of the first races that ascended to godhood during the War of the Ancients. The members of the Platinum Court and the Wild Lords guide the first races and nature itself to this day, but the lesser gods who were once part of the Radiant Eye now corrupted serve themselves.

The Platinum Court

Moradin - The All-Father
Ilmater - The Broken God
Tyr - The Even-Handed
Torm - The Hand of Righteousness
Selûne - The Moonmaiden

The Wild Lords

Silvanus - The Forest Father
Persana - Guardian of the Deep
Solonor - The Huntsman
Shilallia - The Lady of the Woods
Nobanion - Lord Firemane

The Corrupted Gods

Created by the corruption of the Great Wheel or born from it, the Corrupted seek to twist and pervert the Fives creation to their own image. Though each serves under Tiamat or Fatalis in some way, it does not mean they are necessarily loyal or willing to work with each other outside of their respective pantheons or groups. This shortcoming allowed the Aspects and Guardians to defeat and banish the corrupt gods back to the lower planes.

The Eyes of the Abyss

Bane - The Black Lord
Lolth - Dark Mother

Bhaal - Lord of Murder
Vecna - The Undying King
