Pathfinder Guide to Gods

Divine Spellcasting The gods have retreated from the world, abandoning their followers… or so the common wisdom goes.

But the gods did not abandon their followers: their followers abandoned them. The gods have been waiting for the people of the world to let go of the past, stop blaming the gods, and seek them out again.

Domains Each deity has at least two domains, and the associated sub-domains.

Additionally, clerics of the gods of Good or Evil can choose the domain of the same alignment. Or they can

Medallions of Faith Each follower of a god wears a medallion of faith, a holy symbol dedicated to their god. These silver symbols are given to clerics and other followers when they are accepted as a follower of their god.

Without their medallion, a divine spellcaster cannot cast spells of 3rd-level or higher. Thankfully, medallions resist all attempts to be forcibly removed from the neck of its owner.

Favoured Weapon: Sickle

Chemosh (kee-mosh or chee-mosh) represents the divine power of fatalism. He enjoins the soul to strip away mortality and meaning. Chemosh has a disdain for life, feeling that the gift of mortality was wasted on the souls of Krynn, so he seeks to keep them from passing beyond, promising them the immortality of undeath. As mortals surrender their free will to Chemosh, he gains more influence in the world.

Favoured Weapon: Shortspear

The divine power of instinct is Chislev’s (kiz-lev or chiz-lev) realm. She endorses the soul’s ability to grow and develop by letting go of thought and reason, trusting to the primal urge. Chislev is the power of the natural world, wild and the bestial. Her anger and fury are aroused by those who abuse the wild, especially supernatural or conjured forces.

The balance of nature must be maintained at all costs

There is a place for technology, but this is secondary to nature

Agriculture and animal husbandry are pleasing, when carried out with moderation and care

Gilean (gil-ee-un) is the divine power of knowledge. He advocates the growth of the soul through the experience of knowledge in all of its forms, without judgment or constraint. Gilean holds the Tobril, the great book of all knowledge, given to him by the High God.

As the leader of the Gods of Balance, Gilean is also the primary proponent of free will and individual choice among mortal souls of the world.

Seek knowledge for knowledge will not seek you

Emotion clouds learning, strive to be even-handed

Truth is elusive and belief is transitory; only knowledge is eternal

Habbakuk

Favoured Weapon: Scimitar Habbakuk (hab-buh-kuk) is the divine

power of persistence. He champions the perseverance of the soul and its struggle against adversity. Habbakuk’s interests are typically seen as being directed towards the beasts of the air and sea – predator and prey – but his realm encompasses all life.

As one of the patron deities of the Solamnic Knights, Habbakuk also represents obedience and loyalty to the whole, which is the Measure of the Order of the Crown.

Live in harmony with nature, respect all living things

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Trickery (Deception, Thievery), Luck (Curse, Fate)

Favoured Weapon: Dagger

Hiddukel (hid-doo-kel) is the bearer of the divine power of exploitation. He beguiles the soul with promises of greatness, encouraging it to turn every connection with another soul to its advantage. The seductive power of the Prince of Lies leads mortals strong in desire or weak with desperation to profit from the misfortune of others, and to strive towards material and spiritual wealth at the cost of those who stand in their way.

Kiri-Jolith

soldiers Alignment: Lawful good Clerical Alignment:

Domains: Glory (Heroism, Honor), Strength (Ferocity, Resolve)

Favoured Weapon: Longsword Kiri-Jolith (kee-ree-jo-lith) embodies the

divine power of unity. He encourages souls to grow as part of a larger whole, to benefit from the strength that comes in solidarity and brotherhood. He is the patron of soldiers and warriors, who depend on their companions and allies, in order to defeat evil and overcome injustice. Although the very spirit of glorious battle, he is not a warlike or bloodthirsty god, for that way leads to division and wrath.

Good is its own reward Fight if the cause is just, never retreat

while evil remains on the battlefield

Honour and courage are life, revile cowardice

Lunitari

Night Candle Portfolio: Neutral magic, illusion,

Lunitari (loo-nuh-tah-ree) is the

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Knowledge (Memory, Thought), Law (Archon, Devil, Inevitable)

Favoured Weapon: Unarmed strike Majere (mah-jeer) represents the divine

power of discipline. He seeks to improve the soul through the lessons of discipline, hard work, practice, and austerity. Majere is often seen as aloof and distant, but this is chiefly because his approach is that of an even-handed mentor, rather than a saviour. He encourages mortals to reach within themselves for the truth.

Peace comes about through an understanding of the self and its place in the order of things

All souls are called to holiness and purity of life

Pray always and seek the truth

Mishakal

Major Deity Titles: The Light Bringer, the Healing Hand,

Domains: Community (Family, Home), Healing (Restoration, Resurrection)

Favoured Weapon: Quarterstaff

Restoration is the divine power represented by the goddess Mishakal (mish-uh-kul). She embraces the soul’s desire to be whole and grow, to learn from its mistakes, to spread generative energies among others. She is the patron of healing, motherhood, and the bringing back of what was lost. Moreso than any other, Mishakal is the goddess of making things right in the world and ridding it of its ills with compassion and love.

Heal all who require it, even if they are your enemies

Heal the wounded land by promoting harmony, peace, and helping where needed

Your duties lie with those in this world, comfort their pain and sorrow.

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Destruction (Catastrophe, Rage), Madness (Insanity, Nightmare)

Favoured Weapon: Heavy flail

Morgion (mor-gee-un) is the source of the divine power of decay. He fosters the breakdown of the soul’s complex mortal trappings, both physical and mental, reducing them to their most basic form. Morgion believes that mortals should leave the world with nothing but what they came in with. He is the god of diseases, mind and body alike, and to a greater extent the inexorable decay of all things. Morgion triumphs through dissolution, corrosion, and suffering: a quick death, an easy retirement, or a healthy and wholesome life is anathema.

Nuitari

Minor Deity Titles: The Devouring Dark, Nightreaver,

Ungod Portfolio: Evil magic, arcane secrets Worshipers: Wizards of the Black Robes Alignment: Lawful good

Nuitari (noo-uh-tah-ree) is the embodiment of the divine power of magic used for evil. He is the patron of wizards who have chosen to practice magic that emphasizes greed, revenge, hatred, ambition, and control. He makes use of the laws of the Orders of High Sorcery, but only to strengthen and ensure his own power base.

Paladine

Major Deity Titles: The Platinum Dragon, the Valiant

Warrior, Draco Paladin Portfolio: Kingship, guardianship,

redemption, good dragons Worshipers: Nobles, diplomats, guards,

Knights of Solamnia Alignment: Lawful good Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Nobility (Leadership, Martyr), Protection (Defense, Purity), Sun (Day, Light) Favoured Weapon: Longsword

Paladine (pal-uh-dyne) represents the divine power of majesty. He supports the soul’s aspirations toward nobility, to grow towards greatness and improve by following the example of others. His is the divine right of kings, the essence of leadership and government. More than any of the other Gods of Light, Paladine exemplifies the power that redemption possess to bring back those who have fallen into darkness.

Although the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the parts must not be forgotten

None are so lost in darkness that they cannot be brought into the light

Rewards fit the actions, and the guilty must be brought before the law

Reorx

Major Deity Titles: The Forge, the World Smith, Tamer

of Chaos Portfolio: Creation, mountains, metal, luck,

pride Worshipers: Dwarves, gnomes, kender,

blacksmiths, artisans Alignment: Neutral Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Artifice (Construct, Toil), Earth (Caves, Metal)

Favoured Weapon: Warhammer

Reorx (ree-orks) is the divine power of creation. He encourages the soul to grow through the practice of craft, skill, and artifice. While he is renowned as the patron of the dwarves and gnomes, his reach extends beyond these races. He is the god of all craftsmen and those who embrace the need to create.

Because his estate encompasses talent and skill, he is also favoured by rogues, gamblers, and those individuals who rely upon their ability to turn a situation to their favour.

Never be idle when you can be workinh

The tried and true is good, but innovation is vitally important

In all things strive to master your skill

Sargonnas

Major Deity Titles: The Red Condor, the Firebringer,

the Bull God Portfolio: Vengeance, war, conquest, rage Worshipers: Minotaurs, bounty hunters,

barbarians Alignment: Lawful evil Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Fire (Ash, Smoke), War (Blood, Tactics)

Favoured Weapon: Great axe

Sargonnas (sar-gon-us) represents the divine power of wrath. He urges the soul to strike back at anything that inhibits, controls, or hampers it; he is lord of vengeance and retribution, the patron of wars fought over passion, anger, and broken promises. As a lawful god, he does not lash out blindly, but rather focuses through mortal vessels, instilling within them the capacity to use tradition or discipline like a blazing axe.

He is favoured by the minotaurs, who have elevated him to the rank of supreme deity and know him as Sargas. The Firebringer is content to let this continue, for he favours the bull-headed race for their allegiance to both law and battle.

Shinare

Minor Deity Titles: Winged Victory, the Silver Mistress,

Walking Liberty Portfolio: Wealth, enterprise,

communication, travel Worshipers: Merchants, traders, dwarves,

mercenary soldiers Alignment: Lawful neutral Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Law (Archon, Devil, Inevitable), Travel (Exploration, Trade)

Favoured Weapon: Light mace

Shinare (shi-nah-ree) represents the divine power of interaction. Her estate governs all negotiations, all contracts, and all partnerships. Shinare seeks to drive the world forward with the spirit of enterprise, stripped of such ephemeral notions as desire or morality.

A somewhat fickle goddess, she cares little for the motives of those who do business so long as the interaction is balanced. Because of this, slavery and mercenary activity are just as valid as any other industry.

Work hard and you will be rewarded Greed will destroy what you have

worked to gain and poverty is a lack of effort

Be fair and honest in your business, as deception is the road to ruin

Sirrion

Minor Deity Titles: The Flowing Flame, the Alchemist,

the Firemaster Portfolio: Fire, creativity, passion, renewal Worshipers: Fire, creativity, passion,

renewal Alignment: Chaotic neutral Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Chaos (Azata, Demon, Protean), Fire (Ash, Smoke)

Favoured Weapon: Heavy flail

Sirreon (sear-ee-un) is the essence of transformation. He encourages the soul to embrace passion and creative existence in order to grow. Sirrion’s dominant trait is fire, both literal and metaphorical, the element that brings change, represents the warmth of passion, or the creative spark of artists. Chaotic and unpredictable, Sirrion is opposed to needless or undirected destruction, feeling that change should mark a transition between the old and the new.

Fire is life, fire is death. Fire is honest. Fire does not discriminate.

Remove the fear of fire from people, and teach them the good it can do

Harness flame to bring light and warmth to the world

Solinari

Minor Deity Titles: The Mighty Hand, the Ivory Disk,

God’s Eye Portfolio: Good magic, abjuration,

divination Worshipers: Wizards of the White Robes Alignment: Lawful good

Solinari (so-lin-ah-ree) is the embodiment of the divine power of magic used for good. He is the patron of wizards who have chosen to practice magic tempered by compassion, stewardship, and foresight. He upholds the laws of the Orders of High Sorcery, having a part in crafting them.

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Law (Archon, Devil, Inevitable), Darkness (Loss, Night), Scalykind

Favoured Weapon: Heavy mace

The divine power of control is Takhisis’s (tah-kee-sis) realm. She subjects the soul to her commanding will, encouraging it to grow and improve strictly in accordance with her plans for conquest. Takhisis demands the soul’s surrender to dominance, relinquishing power to those who are greater and more influential. In turn, she encourages the soul to command and subjugate others, creating an unbroken chain of power and fealty.

As Queen of Darkness, Takhisis rules the night and infiltrates the daylight, always waiting for her next opportunity to seize the world’s throne.

Zeboim

Minor Deity Titles: The Sea Witch, the Darkling Sea,

the Dragon Turtle Portfolio: Oceans, storms, jealousy, spite Worshipers: Sailors, pirates, evil druids,

evil sea creatures Alignment: Chaotic evil Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

Domains: Water (Ice, Oceans), Weather (Seasons, Storms)

Favoured Weapon: Trident

Zeboim (zuh-bo-im) represents the divine power of strife. She admonishes the soul to unleash its deepest urges, acting fully in the throes of any pent-up aggression and frustration. In doing so, she foments unrest, anarchy, disorder, and rebellion. Unpredictable and impetuous, Zeboim is the very essence of the storm and the raging waters, which are her element. Her driving need is to create anguish and volatility, so souls remain vital and active, not stagnant or witless.

Zivylin

Minor Deity Titles: The World Tree, Wise One, the Tree of Life Portfolio: Wisdom, foresight, prophecy, enlightenment Worshipers: Philosophers, mediators, counselors, sages Alignment: Neutral Clerical Alignment:

LG NG CG

LN N CN

LE NE CE

Domains: Knowledge (Memory, Thought), Repose (Ancestors, Souls) Favoured Weapon: Quarterstaff

Zivilyn's (ziv-uh-lin) realm is the divine power of wisdom. His counsel reinforces the soul’s need to grow in enlightenment, to see the world around it as a fluid, ongoing river of experience. Zivilyn, more than any other deity, extends his interests and his awareness into all times and all places, like the branches of a many-limbed tree; the River of Timer is eternal and so is he.
