Pelorian Pantheon

In the beginning were Kaborh, god of justice, and Grubosh, god of destruction. They fought for the hearts of man in a never ending quest to rule the races of Peloria.

In an attempt to capture Grubosh's chaotic followers, Kaborh created Vudas, god of passion. Kaborh and Vudas together began to capture the greater part of the population.

Not to be outdone, Grubosh created Sukarus, god of death, and Kaborh's lawful followers saw beauty in the unfailing order of death. Over time these four pillars claimed their territory at the corners of alignment: lawful good, chaotic good, lawful evil, and chaotic evil.

But one day, Sukarus and Vudas, the created gods, colluded and gave birth to the neutral Lyfdite, goddess of knowledge. Those people unswayed by the four pillars found comfort in Lyfdite's neutral nature.

Lyfdite became promiscuous, and had a child with each of the four pillars. From Kaborh, she begat Usnia, goddess of nature. From Grubosh came Dakmira, goddess of darkness. From Sukarus was born Adar, god of law and order. And from Vudas came Toorr, god of war.

Together these nine gods comprise the Pelorian Pantheon, and to this day they fight and bicker and strive to win over each other's followers. In certain eras, one god may have more followers than another, but time erases all differences, and over all they have had roughly the same effect on the population of Peloria.
