Gods & Deities

Gods, also known as deities, are worshiped personifications of principles and ideals in Wyneira. There are several major gods known across the world by various names, as well as countless minor gods, spirits and other beliefs sprouting from every culture. In the world of Wyneira, Cleric domains are associated with specific umbrella principles. In Unsere, for instance, there are six major gods representing the six principles of Understanding, the Cycle, Chance, Challenge, Creation, and Control. Most of these gods either also bear worship beyond Unsere, or at least have comparable gods in other cultures, albeit with differing modes of worship and tradition. Even within Unsere, there are differences in how gods are seen and worshiped not only across cultures, but even across different sects of belief within the same larger culture.

Minor Gods
While the major gods and belief systems surrounding them are commonly recognized, if only by name, there are hundreds if not thousands of minor gods and other beliefs focused around specific regions, communities, or even families and individuals. These gods, while not boasting the same prestige or fame as their major cousins, should not be disregarded. The faith of their followers can often be as zealous or even more so than that of the major gods' followers, and the power they draw from their faith is no less potent. What these gods often lack in the theological attention necessary to establish widespread canon and dogma, they boast in mystery and variety in personality. They are in many ways as numerous and eclectic as the people of Wyneira themselves.
