Major Pantheon

There are many gods who are worshiped across Elara, with many groups of dedicated followers and various levels of power. Among those gods however, there is a list of 12 major gods worshiped across the entire planet.

Melora
Goddess of Nature, the Sea, and Wilderness. Worshiped most often by druids, sailors, and rangers, Melora commands her followers to live in harmony with nature, and not to shy away from the wilds, but embrace them. She is a True Neutral god, in the way that the wilderness and sea is neutral. She is the namesake of the first month of spring, Mellon, which is also the time of the Wild's Grandeur holiday, which is a celebration of the new year. Clerics of Melora typically follow the Nature, Grave, or Life Domains

Corellon
God of Art and Music. He is the patron god of many Bards, artisans, and collectors of beauty. But especially he is the god of the Elves. A chaotic good deity, he is said to have created elves, or their more Fey ancestors, he commands his followers to seek beauty in all things. He is the namesake of the second month of the Elaran year, Corell. Clerics of Corellon typically follow the Life or Arcana Domains.

Lliira
Goddess of Joy, Freedom, and Love. She is the patron Goddess of Festivals and celebration, and is almost always toasted to, even if the celebration is for another Deity. Her priests tend to be those sought out to perform marriage ceremonies, and even most small villages will have someone who will perform these ceremonies in her name. She is a Chaotic Good Goddess, and is often worshiped by Dancers, Hopeless Romantics, and Halflings. She is the namesake of Lliiron, the year's third month. There is always a festival during Lliiron, though the purpose of the festival is dependent on where the festival takes place. Clerics of Lliira typically follow the Life or Unity domains

Pelor
God of the Sun, Light, and Time. He is the seasonal god of summer, and is often worshiped by farmers, children, and most humans. He is a Neutral Good aligned god, but much more Good than Neutral. His commandments mostly revolve around stamping out evil where possible, and bringing light into the darkness. He is the namesake of the month of Pelon, the first month of Summer. Clerics of Pelor typically follow the Life, Light or Protection Domains

Haddad
God of the Storm and Tempest. He is sometimes seen as a god of the sea, but only in that many sailors worship or pray to him for safe passage. Chaotic Neutral as the storm itself, Haddad teaches that strength is the key to survival, and many of his followers love to participate in tests of strength. Many Barbarian tribes worship Haddad. He is the namesake for Hadda, the month of Midsummer and heat and storms. Clerics of Haddad typically follow the Tempest or Nature Domains.

Ioun
Goddess of Knowledge, Prophecy, and Learning. Ioun's followers are dedicated to the sharing of knowledge in all forms throughout the world. Worshipers of Ioun would rather learn a hard truth then keep that knowledge locked away. Lawful Neutral, she is worshiped by many academics, wizards, and Gnomes. Ioun has a presence in most major cities as repositories of knowledge and research. She has a particular hatred for the mysterious god of secrets. She is the namesake for the famous Ioun Stones, and the month of Ioumber. The last month of summer when the heat begins to fade away and people's attention begin to turn towards education. Clerics of Ioun typically follow the Knowledge or Arcana Domains.

Sehanine
Goddess of Magic, the Moon, and Dreams. Once a mortal woman, Sehanine became the goddess of Magic after the death of the former Deity, Mystra. The understanding of her deification has been lost to time, and no one still living knows anything of how she came to her position. Even Ioun has kept the secret from her followers. Chaotic Good, she is worshiped by Arcane magic users, Half-Elves, independent Drow, and many others. She has a deep hatred for undead, and especially liches, as they are arcane magic twisted beyond recognition. She is the namesake for the month of Sehaneer, the first month of Autumn. There is typically a celebration during this month, Sehwain, a festival celebrating the twilight of the seasons, Magic, and the turn towards the darker half of the year. Clerics of Sehanine typically follow the Arcana, Grave, or Twilight Domains.

Wisakedjak
God of Trickery. He is the only god that is rumored to still walk the mortal lands, shifting back and forth between the two worlds, always in some sort of disguise. Many contradictory stories exist about Wisakedjak, some in which he will destroy your life in pursuit of a good prank, and some in which he will give you everything for the same reason, the epitome of Chaotic Neutral. It's said that in time past, Wisakedjak was the one who brought fire to the mortal races. It was he who taught the first mortals magic. It was he who set off Elara's first cataclysm. And it was he who was the cause of the empire wars. Anyone could be a follower of Wisakedjak, though you likely won't know you've met one until after they've made clear their affiliation. He is the namesake for Whiskeder, the month of mischief and last month of Autumn. Clerics of Wisakedjak typically follow the Trickery or Arcana domains.

Raven Queen
Goddess of Death and Travel between realms. She, like Sehanine, was also once a mortal, but none now know what god or goddess she took her domain from. She was an old god already when Sehanine took her place in the pantheon. Always masked, none know her by any name other than this title. The Lawful Neutral God has deep ties to the Shadowfell, and is the patron god of the Shadar-Kai, but despises undeath. Followers of the Raven Queen like to preach that death is a natural part of life, and that without death; life is meaningless. She is the namesake for Ravinnica, the first month of winter. Clerics of the Raven Queen typically follow the Grave, Death, or Twilight Domains.

Kord
God of War, Battle, and Courage. He is not a god that delights in death, but one that teaches that strength is best proven on a battlefield. Kord elevates and values physical strength above all else, and is most often worshiped by fighters, gladiators, and generals. Despite his position as a god of war, Kord is Chaotic Good, and believes in fighting for righteous purposes. He is the namesake of Kordon, 10th month of the year. Clerics of Kord typically follow the War, Protection, and Life Domains.

Moradin
God of the Forge and Creation. Moradin is thought to be the creator of the Dwarves, and is their patron god. Moradin is a Lawful Good god who oversees not just the creation of weapons and armor, but of homes, and buildings, and roads and useful objects, and many other things. Besides Dwarves, Moradin is often worshiped by Artificers, Deep Gnomes, and craftsmen. He is the namesake of Morad, and is usually celebrated by a festival of homemade gift giving towards the end of the month. The key is that the gifts are homemade. Clerics of Moradin typically follow the Forge, Light, Order and Life domains.

Bahumut
The platinum dragon god of Justice. Bahumut is usually visualized as the only platinum dragon, and the epitome of Lawful Good. He is the father of the metallic dragons, and patron of all lawmakes and justices. Bahamut's followers were commanded to actively seek out and destroy evil. He has a relatively high number of Paladins compared to other gods. He is eternally in conflict, and attempting to destroy his sister, the evil goddess of chromatic dragons, Tiamat. He is the namesake of Bahamar, the final month of the year. Typically the year ends with a holiday of recompense and forgiveness. In celebration of the Dragon god of Justice, people confess their ill doings, and forgive each other, these acts end at midnight, and leads straight into the New Year's festival, Wild's Grandeur. Clerics of Bahumut typically follow the Order, Life, and War domains.
