The Ishkari Pantheon
The Ishkari Pantheon were among the oldest religions in the Homelands. It was commonly believed that several of the deities in the Celestial Pantheon were in fact originally from the Ishkari Pantheon.
Mythology & Lore
The Ishkari Pantheon consists of the seven children of a progenitor goddess, Ishra, that were destroyed during the height of the Ishkar empire. According to the mythos, she drove her mortal children, the Ishkari, to conquer the surrounding lands and spread the seeds of their empire across the world. Her children did not agree with this dishonarable crusade, and with their combined might, they managed to slay her. With her last breath, she cursed the Ishkari lands to be unable to harbor life for as long as she was dead, causing the region to turn into the lifeless desert that it is in modern times.
