- NOTABLE RELIGIONS IN VESKA
- For simplicity's sake, all of these deities are going to be kept detailed with...well, minimal detail. If you wish for more on their story and history, let Mr. DM Know and he will gladly let you know more on their worship. This is just an expansive guide on all the different deities that exist within Veska. (Might write actual deity sheets later, but for now...)
- __________________________________________________________________
- AINE, The Creator God
- Lord o' Light, the great Creator, sky daddy. Aine's religion is monotheistic and yet remains as one of the most common faiths you'll find in the world of Veska due to its prevalence in human civilizations. Worship of Aine places belief in raw faith alone, as odd as that sounds.
- In short, it is the raw belief and faith alone that carries the strength of Aine's miracles. Aine himself is not a present deity; nor is he a God that anyone has recorded interactions with, but the tangible power that's bestowed upon his worshipers for simply putting faith in him alone is enough of a testament to convince many across the world to put faith in him.

- AMELIA, The Sun Goddess
- A parallel to Aine. Amelia is a matriarchal Goddess found almost exclusively in the distant lands of Devkarth, and thusly her worship is very limited. Her worship values valor, warfare, and bravery, but is also known to put an emphasis on women being created in her beautiful image.
- Amelia is often seen as heretical to Aine's faith due to not just the two believing in one creator deity, but because Amelia's faith is much more lecherous and hedonistic by nature, carrying acts that those of Aine's faith would see as 'sinful'

- THE SISTERS DEATH. Tyche, Gachbás, and Baigbás.
- Also known as the Norns, these are the penultimate nature deities, as they carry sway over not just death, but fate itself. They are the raw, living embodiments of fate. Worship of the three sisters is very common for Elves, Fianni, and other races that live outside of human civilization. If you aren't a Dwarf, Tabaxi, or Human, consider looking at these three.
- If you worship these three sisters, then you definitely acknowledge and pay heed to the Crann as well.
- __________________________________________________________________
- THE CRANN.
- Greater Fae. The Crann are a diverse group of higher powers that are seen as the penultimate embodiment of nature in some shape, way, or form. The entire world is governed by nature spirits that typically choose to remain invisible unless necessity brings them out of hiding. Crann in particular are often worshiped as a pantheon, with each Crann granting different boons.
- If you want a fine celebration with plenty wine and jubilee, you worship Rian, the Satyr
- If you want rain for your crops or for the river to swell and produce fertile soils, you ask for Gaine, the Eel
- If you're wishing for a safe passing and want a loved one to be given a decent afterlife, you pray to Ceana, the Banshee.
- There are MANY MANY More Crann than this. Ask as needed.
- __________________________________________________________________
- The Primordials
- There are only three of these that are well known, with countless others that are pretty much buried in history. Ask only if you want Eldritch shenanigans. Spicy titles to help get an idea of what they are.
- Zzath, the Snake God
- Zithraeliach, the Sea Slaver
- Lamassu, mother of nightmares.
- __________________________________________________________________
- THE ABYSSAL LORDS
- Demons. If you're looking into this group, you're probably either a warlock, or some poor sap that got tricked into a contract.
