Light Deities

Leo, God of Divine Power – Ruler of the Light


Angel: Golden Lionriders

Leo, the ruler of the gods, is the most powerful of the good deities. Ruling with honor and dignity are both
his philosophy and actions. Leo is respected by all the deities even if some do not like him or agree with his
precepts. As any just ruler should be, Leo is difficult to anger, however, once his wrath has been envoked it
is also difficult to quell. His theology is that the rights of a ruler’s power are absolute so long as that ruler is
true to his people. The place of women is to follow their male superior without question or hesitation. For a
leader to betray his people is the worst sin any man can commit and to openly challenge a mans autority is
the worst sin a woman can commit.

The power given to a Paladin of Leo is the ability to, once per game session, add 1d6 to reaction modifiers
for 1 hour game time. This power cancels any existing charisma bonuses the Paladin may have positive or
negative, it does not effect non-charisma modifiers.

Libra, Goddess of Love and Marriage – Queen of the Light


Angel: Seraphim

Libra, the wife of Leo, is the voice of reason when Leo is angered. She follows Leo just as his philosophy
states. She is less involved in the politicing of the deities than any other and likes to keep it that way. As
the patron of true love she will sometimes lend a helping hand to couples in trouble. She believes that love
is sacred and that anyone who tries to destroy it should be dealt with in the harshest of ways. The worst sin
anyone can commit in her eyes is the betrayal of the oath of marriage.

The Power given to a Paladin of Libra is the abiliy to, once per month, cast a bless +2 at no fatigue cost on
any true follower of any good deity.

Virgo, Goddess of Healing – Defender of the Light


Angel: Valkyrie

Virgo, the least powerful of the good deities, makes up for raw power in followers. Even though her realm
is healing her angels, the Valkyries are the fiercest of the holy beings. A staunch follower of the
philosophy of battle only in defense, makes even her most powerful of warriors gentle. To fight for ones
own personal gains is againt all she teaches. The worst sin anyone can commit in her eyes is to hurt another
being for only the pleasure of destruction or conquest.

true follower of any good deity.

Cancer, God of Dreams – General of the Light

can commit in his eyes is to abandon ones dreams.

answer.

realm. Less powerful in magic she makes up for it in psionics. Any place where vast stores of books are

power.

from the pantheon. The spirits of the elves are generally believed to be aspects of Gemini though not even
the other deities know for sure. During the spring and summer she is a gentle kind goddess who bring
prosperity to the world, however, in the fall and winter her gaze turns harsh and cold bringing the world
into the icy clutches of her wrath. The worst sin anyone can commit in her eyes is the destruction of
anything natural for only the sake of the act of destruction.

Dark Deities
Pisces, Goddess of Magic – Ruler of the Dark
Angel: Knights of the Eternal Shadows

Pisces, Mother of all evil, is the embodiment of chaos. The undead serve her unconditionally, and evil
surrounds her. The pursuit of power is the highest purpose among her followers. Power through magic is
most cherished, though physical prowess is not unrewarded. Her Knights of the Eternal Shadow are the
most destructive force known, only the Hallowed Horsemen and Valkyrie can best them regularly. The
worst sin anyone can commit in her eyes is to openly dismiss power and seek a life of pacifism.

Aries, God of War – General of the Dark


Angel: Breserkers

little about anything but death and destruction, only by the constant watch of Pisces does he not charge
forth into battles that he cannot win. His berserkers are the most feared of the angelic force due to their
unpredictable nature. The worst sin anyone can commit in his eyes is to show weakness.

game time in addition to any other bonuses the Paladin may have.

Capricorn, God of Worldly Success – Forgekeeper of the Dark


Angel: Unhallowed Smiths

Capricorn, Forger of the world, works unendingly at the anvil of the heavens. Long ago he forged the
world to be his plaything but was thwarted when the other gods took a liking to his toy as well. Now he
simply hordes wealth and waits for the day when he can forge the world anew once again for his pleasure
only. Greed and smithing prowess are favored by Capricorn. Though he himself is a dark diety, his
followers are from all alignments, only his personal distaste for the other deities keeps him where he is in
the grand scheme. The worst sin anyone can commit in his eyes is generosity.

The Power given to a Paladin of Capricorn is the abiliy to, once per month, summon 1d6 gold pieces. This
power may not be reused until all the gold aquired in this manner has been spent.

Aquarius, Goddess of Chance – Defender of the Dark


Angel: Dark Guardian

Aquarius, Cheater of fate, is as cruel as Pisces in most ways. To her, pleasure must have a balance, when
things are going too well she must step in and bring an equal ammount of pain. The opposite does not hold
true. Unforgiving of those who have crossed her she is unremorseful of even the most devout she has
smitten. Uncertainty and remorse are her playground. The worst sin anyone can commit in her eyes is to
try to elude ones fate and make ones own luck.

The Power given to a Paladin of Aquarius is the abiliy to, once per game session, reroll once as though they
had the luck advantage.
