There are many Demi-Gods
of Normune, some are good some are bad, but all are worshiped in some way
shape or form.
Most of them are
worshiped in temples, others are worshiped with sacrifices.
However, these gods are
not the gods that created Normune. No, they are simply there to govern it
from above.
How did the Demi-Gods
come to be you ask? Well, we have to leave the world of Normune, and that
of the universe that holds it, out to what is called the Creation Plane.
Within the Creation Plane, exists hundreds upon thousands of universes,
each containing galaxies upon galaxies, each containing worlds upon
worlds. Some of these worlds have inhabitants, others are barren. Some of
the peoples are technologically advanced. Others are just beginning their
journey by creating the wheel.
But, there is once
exception to all these universes. All of them were made by somebody.
Who you ask?
The Creators.
There are four of them:
Borshorri Kass -
The Creator Of Evil
Vindah - The
Creator Of Peace
Alnar - The
Creator Of Harmony
Lantra - The
Creator Of Calm
Each of these creators
has created many universes, some even participate within these universes
and interact with the populace. Others create Demi-Gods to watch over the
universe and protect it from the other Creators.
Normune exists is one of
these Universes, one protected by Demi-Gods.
Below are the twelve
Demi-Gods and their portfolios.
Also, info on their their
3rd Edition D&D role-playing stats are available should you wish to use
Normune for a campaign and need to role-play one of the gods.
Note:
The following gods use a slightly different Divine Power Ranking system
than that defined in the Deities and Demi-Gods handbook.
Rank 0: Basically level 40+ characters.
Rank 1-5: These are called Lesser Demi-Gods, hold little power, often only
granting spells to worshippers and perform a few deeds beyond the Rank 0
Demi-Gods. Usually only has several hundred to a few thousand worshippers.
Rank 6-10: These Demi-Gods are considered Intermediate Demi-Gods. Having
greater power and the ability to preside over weather patterns and
influence time flow in a limited manner.
Rank 11-15: The Greater Demi-Gods, these gods have almost absolute power,
able to grand virtually anything and control virtually everything, however
they do not have absolute control over the flow of time, only slightly
more than the Intermediate Demi-Gods.
Rank 16: The Overseer Demi-God. Only one Demi-God holds this rank. That
god has absolute power over the universe he was sent to protect, however
not the power to leave the universe. (Due to the creators).

surrounding planes of existence.

and can be seen in near impenetrable iron skin light armour and
brandishing a long sword called Koolemfon. Mur'In'Tir is respected
by all humans of Normune and often grants them wisdom and strength when
they need it the most.
Dogma:
Normaria is concerned for all Humans that walk Normune and with their
protection. He also keeps in check evil should it spread amongst the
humans.
Clergy And Temples:
The clergy usually wear the same brown cloak as Mur'In'Tir, except without
the silver lining. They also train themselves in the ways of the Long
Sword, but keep a Quarter staff as well. The temples are almost fortified
installations. With thick walls and a massive assortment of defensive
magics, the temples are always open to those who need to be protected from
evil.
