The Lost Pantheon

The Nine Broken Divines

• The Embered Father
  Domain: Fire, Judgement, Purity
  Fate: Burned himself out to cleanse the world of sin — only ash and inquisitors remain.
  Influence: Revered by the Embered Church and the Crimson Inquisition in Verradun; their fires are said to burn with his dying breath.

• The Mourning Mother
  Domain: Death, Mercy, the Sea
  Fate: Drowned herself to silence the cries of the dying; her tears became the tides.
  Influence: Worshiped along the Drowned Coast and Mournglade Fjord; sailors leave offerings of salt and bone to calm the waters.

• The Hollow Child
  Domain: Memory, Forgetting, the Dead
  Fate: Born without a soul — an empty vessel that devoured memories to feel whole.
  Influence: Venerated in the Hollow Frontier and Blight Moors; Hollows and Seers claim to dream the child’s silent lullabies.

• The Marrow Saint
  Domain: Flesh, Transformation, Pain
  Fate: Torn apart by worshipers who sought divinity in his bones.
  Influence: Ossuary Peaks and the Cult of the Marrow Saint still use his relics to graft new forms and prolong life through agony.

• The Gilded Angel
  Domain: Wealth, Decay, False Light
  Fate: Fossilized mid-flight, wings turned to gold; her beauty became a prison.
  Influence: Worshiped in Aurellium, where gold-skin and gilded veins are marks of divine favor—or curse.

• The Clockmaker
  Domain: Time, Creation, Obsession
  Fate: Shattered the world’s rhythm in pursuit of perfection; each tick of the clock is a scar of his work.
  Influence: Revered by the Choir Alchemists and Clockwrought of Yhvar; they believe his gears still turn beneath the city.

• The Fae Matron
  Domain: Nature, Deceit, Dream
  Fate: Fell into eternal slumber beneath the roots of the Hollow; her dreams birthed the fae.
  Influence: Her presence lingers in Luneth Hollow; fae whisper that every petal and thorn remembers her breath.

• The Watcher Beneath
  Domain: Knowledge, Endurance, Ice
  Fate: Bound in the northern deep beneath Nareth’s Crown, watching the world freeze and die.
  Influence: The Watchers Beneath faction study his whispers, believing knowledge is salvation from the Withering Cycle.

• The Blood Saint
  Domain: Plague, Sacrifice, Resurrection
  Fate: Bled herself dry to save mankind; her blood became the Crimson Plague.
  Influence: Her presence seeps through every land touched by the Withering; cults still drink her remains seeking “holy rebirth.”
