There are many deities, and religions in the world of Talsidias, some known, some forgotten. These are the most important ones in relation to the world.

Is believed to be a splinter off of Huracanis. He is worshiped in Kirlansar primarily, though he also has a large following in much of the Borderlands region as a luck and magic god he is often considered humanity's guardian. Alistair is an unaligned god in the axis of good and evil, he will aide either side he feels is right, blessing it with good fortune, or perhaps a nudge here and there magically.
He is often mistaken for a "balance keeper" though this is not the case, he cares not for any preconceived notion that good and evil must maintain a balance. He simply goes where he believes fortune should go.

Is the Karistaari death god. They believe he takes spirits to the Veil of Souls and that he helped construct the Veil to protect their race from the ravages of the empyrean. He is not really worshiped by any other races save for perhaps the Drow of all things, who worship him to attempt to gain an advantage over their elven cousins. Every so often a being will come back from beyond the Veil (something alleged to be impossible mind you) informing the world of it's existence and the deity's as well.

Is believed to be Karistaari in nature. He is seen as the God of Rain and Thunder. Chaacian is the bringer of Thunder to battle, and Rain to nourish Isala who in turn brings spring and fertility. (according to the Karistaari anyway) Chaacian is said to be Isala's consort. Chaacian also has a substanial following in Polones, as well as most Karistaari city states.

Is -the- deity to the Thanosian Religion. They are a monotheistic and believe all other gods to be either non existent or heretical imitations at best. His followers are extremely militant and forceful, despite the original texts describing a peaceful and just deity that proscribes a peaceful and mindful of others way of life. This religious zealotry has not earned Thanos many friends. Not that they care what heretics, blasphemers and heathens think anyway.

Is viewed in most human and Shadowkin societies and cultures as a war god, or god of strength. He is proud and at times belligerent deity with a lust for conquest, giving rise to the saying "he is guided by G'kar" when either describing a successful conquerer or a belligerent one. A few elves also worship G'kar. (mostly within Lidrinidier) G'Kar is a very old god, though his existence at times is debatable. Some theorize it waxes and wanes, in cycles of war and peace.

Is steadily regaining followers among the Shadowkin as his first temple had been built in Naegunfael. Many Asrikar worship him as a death god where as the Alindi worship him as a life giver. The Alindi can if their family goes back far enough remember the Harstworn of old. He is not really worshiped by any other race except for possibly the flip side of the Naeturians... the Karistaari. Who revere him as the Blood God.

Is the most widely worshiped deity on Talsidias. The humans of Al Farien know him as Lasairs, for them he is the guardian of Magic and Light. Lasairs is closely associated with these two traits he is their god on the side of Law and Good. The people of Aegir know him as Tor-quinsan. For them he is the Celestial Lion, they believe the deity has lost interest in them as their great empire is slowly fading into twilight. The Elves know him as Majeric believing that they were his first and best creation they revere him higher than any other deity.

Is still currently worshiped or at least remembered by the Karistaari and a few angelics. For them she is a fertility goddess, and a goddess of true love. The Karistaari know she created the soul and thus created love. As with so much of ancient knowledge her death is lost to the Karistaari, for souls exist and through that she lives. She is said to be at her most alive when she meets Chaacian meet briefly. She is associated with spring.

Is a Shadowkin deity of fertility and art. Kanethis temples are houses of what many outside cultures see as glorified brothels or dens of hedonism. The Priests and priestesses teach however that in all things there is a special bond. They are not above teaching others about physical pleasures as they believe knowledge and experience in such things can bring about a greater understanding of one's self and the bond between all things. Kanethis also has worshipers among many of the civilized races (much to some conservatives chagrin no doubt.)

Is the god of Travel and All that Passes Between. Misantine was said to be a walker of planes and Realms alike. Misantine is said to watch overall that pursue his life style at one point or another. Misantine does not possess any grand temples and small shrines which offerings can be left either for him should he walk there or for one weary needing traveler, it is said for one to leave an offering is to invite good fortune and travel and to take without leaving an offering of your own is to invite any number of misfortunes upon your journey. Primarily worshiped by Airship'smen and the Yok among many others (including caravans, and sea sailors)

This entity is only worshiped by the sick depraved souls however many respect the monster. Zipchara to the Karistaari is a great daemon that dwells half within the empyrean and half inside of every aberration. They remember that Zipchara nearly destroyed very existence itself and they know further more that such a force could always potentially return. He is accredited any number of evils and misdeeds including nightmares, famine, drought, pestilence and disease that destroys on a massive scale.
