Deities of Norrath

Agnostic

Agnostics will not commit to a belief in the existence or non-existence of any deity

Bertoxxulous- The Plaguebringer

Followers of Bertoxxulous believe the only truth on Norrath is that everything dies. They view the decay of flesh as a thing of ultimate beauty. The subtle purples of a fresh bruise, the almost iridescent yellow-green of an infected pustule, are but a few of the things that His followers relish. It is not surprising that many of His followers pursue the dark art of Necromancy, for to them nothing is more desirable than to be surrounded by beings who, even in unlife, continue to rot and decay. Do not take this to mean that His followers are suicidal or seek a quick death. To the contrary, they wish to live long, painful lives, spreading their dark, diseased stain all across Norrath.

Bristlebane Fizzlethrope- The King of Thieves

Followers of Bristlebane believe in having fun, at the expense of nearly all else. Bards, Rogues, jesters, RMTers, gamblers and gypsies are all typical followers. They almost always have the very charming, clever and witty traits which all Bristlebane followers should strive for. Mischief in all its forms is encouraged. Practical jokes are preformed as if they were the highest of rituals. Very few of Bristlebane's followers are outright wicked in their desires, but it is best to keep at least one eye on your purse if they are about. And never let one deal you in a hand of King's Court.

Cazic-Thule- The Faceless

Followers of Cazic-Thule fear their Lord and believe that only by causing terror in others will they be spared his vengeful wrath. They strive to beat down and suppress all hope. Fear rules their lives and through fear, they rule the lives of others. Pain, misery, violence, torture, living sacrifices - these are all tools of a Cazicite. Many Lizardman tribes are devout followers of Cazic-Thule, but his number of humanoid followers grows daily, a cold shadow slowly engulfing the bright spots of Norrath in a nightmare of horror and pain.

Innoruuk- The Prince of Hate

Followers of Innoruuk include nearly the entire Dark Elven race who regard Him as their "Father." They believe that Hate is a creative force, or rather the creative force in the universe, a creativity born of destruction. Love and kindness are tools for those too ignorant to know what they want or too cowardly to do what is necessary to obtain it. It is only through the total disdain of your enemies that you can gain true power over them. Pity and mercy have no power when confronted with contempt and viciousness. It is the honest belief of the followers of Innoruuk that if they were to hate strong enough they could destroy all of Norrath.

Karana- The Rainkeeper

Followers of Karana believe in the absolute power of storms. They worship the live-giving power of the rain and respect the destructive force of a sandstorm or hurricane. Typical followers of Karana are rural humanoids, farmers, ranchers, hunters and the like. They will often offer shelter from the elements to strangers. Many Karana followers live a nomadic lifestyle, traveling where the winds take them. They are humble, generous people who value strength and honesty and brook no disrespect for Karana and his work, for they know it is only through his wisdom and kindness that all Norrath is not consumed in an eternal tempest.

Erollisi Marr- The Queen of Love

Followers of Erollisi Marr cling to the belief that love conquers all. It should be pointed out that while love is a generally peaceful concept, Erollisi followers are not pacifists. They would like to live in a world in which everyone loves everyone else and violence does not exist but they are not naive enough to think that Norrath is that world. They have passionate loves of people, places and ideals and are more than willing to fight and die to preserve those things. The dream of every follower of Erollisi is to die in selfless defense of someone or something they love. Many Paladins hear the true calling of their hearts and follow Erollisi Marr.

Mithaniel Marr- The Lightbearer

Followers of Mithaniel Marr believe that valor is what separates civilized beings from beasts. His followers live by a strict moral code that prizes truth, honor and charity. They are champions of the downtrodden and the most noble of warriors. His followers strive to rid Norrath of all things dark and evil, often sacrificing themselves in this never ending quest. They will not rest until the day when all of Norrath is cleansed in Mithaniel's light. They take themselves and their duty very seriously, and have little patience for mischief of mayhem. Many Paladins are devout servants of Mithaniel Marr

Rodcet Nife- The Prime Healer

Followers of Rodcet Nife take an oath to fight disease and death until one or the other finally claims them. They are very generous and humble, asking little more from their beneficiaries than that they pass on the kindness to others. They are not content to deal with the effects of disease and death after they occur and vigorously seek to destroy the sources of these evils. Healers and mystics are typical followers, but many noble Rangers and Paladins also have taken the Nife Oath. They believe that through faith in the Prime Healer, the wounded heart of the universe shall one day be mended, and death's dark shadow will never be seen again.

Prexus- The Ocean Lord

Followers of Prexus believe true power lies in the vast depths of Norrath's oceans. They believe that eons ago, life first formed in the murky deep and that one day the oceans shall rise again to consume those that are unworthy and embrace the faithful. The Oceanlord's servants tend to live and work near, on, or beneath large bodies of water. They seek to spread the word of Prexus to all who will hear and defend the oceans and seas of Norrath against any who would cause harm to them. Many sailors and fishermen are followers of Prexus.

Quellious- The Tranquil

Followers of Quellious seek peace. They are not strict pacifists, though, and will fight to defend themselves and those they care about. The peace they seek is an inner one. They wish to know all there is to know about themselves and the world around them. They thirst for knowledge of their true selves and strive to help others attain enlightenment. It is through the sharing of this knowledge that they believe universal peace can be obtained. If every creature fully understood itself and its neighbors there would be no need for conflict and war. Followers of Quellious often follow a nomadic lifestyle, constantly seeking what there is to know and hoping to find themselves along the way.

Solusek Ro- The Burning Prince

Followers of Solusek Ro believe in the raw and unbridled power of fire. Fire birthed the world and in fire shall it be consumed. True aggressive action is the only way for one to obtain what is desired. Power is gained by superior force. Followers of Ro have little fear. They are bold and brash, and say what they mean, and do what they say. Social graces are something they neither possess nor desire. They demand the respect of their peers and more often than not, earn it as well. Those who seek true elemental power follow Solusek Ro, and thus many Wizards turn to his burning embrace.

Brell Serilis- The Duke of Below

Followers of Brell Serilis believe that the surface world is a waste of space. They find true happiness in the caves, caverns and tunnels that perforate the belly of Norrath. But this is one of the few points that all followers of Brell can agree upon. There are many different factions that worship Brell. The Dwarves of Kaladim know that they are the true children of Serilis. But the vicious gnolls of Splitpaw Lair disagree entirely. For was it not Brell that sculpted them out of the sacred Clay of Cosgrove? Followers of Brell Serilis in one form or another can be found nearly anywhere you enter the Underfoot of Norrath.

The Tribunal- The Six Hammers

Followers of The Tribunal seek one thing above all else: justice. While some claim to express the desire by pursuing careers as guards or magistrates, true believers in the Tribunal do not recognize the rights of any court on Norrath and enforce the Tribunal's sense of ultimate justice on the rest of the population. Retribution, vengeance, and punishment are sacred duties. Followers of the Tribunal are methodical, patient and just. They must be so, for it is their belief that if they punish an innocent, the Tribunal will pass judgment against them, and doom them to an eternity of endless torment.

Tunare- The Mother of All

Followers of Tunare believe that we are all Tunare's children. The children of Tunare seek to help Norrath, which they believe to be a living and breathing being, to blossom and grow. Followers believe that the world of Norrath gave birth to Tunare and from her all life has sprung forth. Thus, by worshiping and protecting the land, followers are paying homage and respect to the Mother of their Mother, who in turn protects and provides for them. Followers of Tunare will fight to the death to protect nature in all its forms. Many Druids, Rangers, and a great many of elves follow the ways of Tunare.

Veeshan- The Wurm Queen

Non-dragon followers of Veeshan believe that dragon kind is superior to all other forms of life. They swear allegiance to the Mother of Dragons and often sacrifice themselves or their loved ones to one of her children. In return for this undying devotion, Veeshan is very protective and generous to her loyal followers. Many humanoids have gained great riches and ancient knowledge through servitude to the wurms, but these gifts came with a high price... knowing that one is less than cattle to the dragons, and that they can take your messy life whenever it suits them. To most followers of Veeshan, however, serving a deity is its own reward

Rallos Zek- The Warlord

The followers of Rallos Zek believe in survival of the strong and death to the weak. In the heat of battle is the only place where enlightenment can be gained. The universe was formed by conflict and in conflict it will end. The victors feasting upon the remains of their fallen enemy. No respect or regard is given to the dead, for if they were worthy their hearts would still pump blood through their veins and not upon the soil of Norrath. Followers of Zek are almost exclusively Warriors.
