Deities

This is the list of Deities as of the beginning of the campaign.  Entries will slowly grow with information (including historical refrences) and minor/new gods will be added. Three of the elemental gods (Aquin, Slasarth, Ariel) have fallen since the beginning of the War of Shadows and T'Lann, Vampire God of Blood and Necromancy, has risen. As new wars rage, few deities futures seem certain. Ompos's priesthood has a stranglehold over Milandar and Sylvas is beginning to rebuild in the Elven Empire, but many gods sit on the brink of falling. Benes, Vastak, and Geon stand in immediate danger, while many more could be endangered by the innexorable advance of history.
