The Pantheon

Since the world was created there have been 21 gods that have governed the world
of Krynn. Seven for each of the three alignments. At the dawn of time there was
also another more powerful god, and there has always been the one whom created
them all.
In the Age of Mortals, the pantheon has been altered dramatically. Two chief gods
were cast down from the heavens, in order to maintain the balance between good
and evil.
The gods are worshipped in every part of Krynn. In some regions, only certain gods
are recognized and worshipped. The deities have many names by which they are
known by the various peoples. All have vast amounts of power, and all are to be
treated carefully. The anger of a god is a terrible thing.

Other Gods
The Highgod
The Highgod is the creator of Krynn, the gods and almost everything else. The
Highgod came when there was naught but the void. This omnipotent being
fashioned a beautiful new world and also gods to govern over this world. The
Highgod guided his godlings in the new world and then left it in their hands. Once
Krynn was completed, the Highgod withdrew from the world, and watched his
creations from afar. The Highgod has no avatars, since he never appears in the
mortal realm. The Highgod also has practically no followers, since almost no-one
knows of his/her existence, except for the gods themselves. With the wanderings of
Valthonis, it seems possible that more may be discovered about this great entity.
The Highgod loves creation, and the only time he/she would ever take an active role
upon Krynn, would be to prevent it's final destruction.
Some of the other known names for the Highgod are: Sky-Father, Great God, AllFather.
Ionthas
Ionthas was once the chief servant of the Highgod, and the most powerful amongst
the gods. However his pride made him haughty towards the other gods and they
worked against him as he sought to dominate Krynn. He was beaten by the
combined efforts of the gods and forsook them and even his name. He chose the
name of Chaos and slowly fell into insanity as he was cast beyond creation by the
Highgod. Part of his essence was later captured by Reorx in the Greygem, and
Chaos himself soon found himself imprisoned within the gem for a long time. During
the Summer of Chaos, he was freed inadvertantly by the Irda, and rampaged with
his newly formed armies across the face of Krynn. On the verge of total dominance
he was beaten by the combined efforts of the gods and of mortals. Ionthas was
banished from the world for the rest of time.
His other names include: The Father of All & Nothing, Chaos.
Gorth
Gorth is a mysterious being that has been known to appear to ogres and half-ogres
in the Conquered Lands region of Taladas. It is unknown whether Gorth is merely an
avatar of one of the gods, however it has never alluded to being so. Or whether
Gorth is a minor deity, known only to the ogres in this area. Gorth has the ability to
grant spells, albeit they are unpredictable, and can be useless or extremely
powerful at random. Practically nothing else is known about this mysterious being.

The Four Dargonesti Gods


The four gods of the Dargonesti are thought to be four elves, whom were made into
minor deities, for services rendered in Krynn's ancient past. They are known only
amongst the sea elves, and are only minor deities amongst even them. Habakkuk is
the sea elves major deity, followed by Kiri-Jolith. However the four Dargonesti gods
still have groups of loyal followers.
Daidlin is the Dargonesti goddess of sea flora and fauna. Her symbol is that of a
golden anemone. She is often called upon when fish hunters go out on expeditions,
and all sorts of feasts and services are held in her honor when the Dargonesti plant
or harvest any crops. Her avatar is that of a plain looking elf, with marine life
circling her head. She grants her priests druidic powers, and is known to be closely
associated with fervently good gods such as Kiri-Jolith.
Kailthis the Beautiful is the Dargonesti goddess of love and procreation. Her symbol
is that of an amazingly beautiful mermaid. She is worshipped during weddings,
births and courtships. Sacrifices are made to her in the forms of love poems and sea
flowers. Her avatar is that of an extremely beautiful Dargonesti, and she is also
closely linked to fervently good gods.
Tumarq is the Dargonesti god of tradesman and handicrafts. His symbol is a hermit
crab. Tumarq is worshipped by tradesman and is the only Dargonesti god, known
outside of the sea elves realm. He is worshipped by a small group of gnomes in the
Spire Mountains of Taladas. Sacrifices are made to Tumarq in the forms of small
models of equipment. Tumarq's avatar is that of a muscular Dargonesti with nimble
fingers and dressed as a white-robed mage.
Randoril'thi is the Dargonesti god of luck. His symbol is the sea urchin. He is usually
not worshipped widely amongst the Dargonesti, since he is not very popular. He
somehow gained the power to grant his clerics the ability to cast spells from any
sphere of magic. Randoril'thi clerics would naturally be extremely powerful, and the
few whom exist, do not admit to it. His avatar is that of a small Dargonesti boy with
tousled green hair. He looks and acts like street urchin, and is known to be
somewhat of a thief.
The Fallen Gods
Paladine
Paladine was the Chief God of Good. He led all the Gods from Beyond during the
Age of Starbirth, so that they could create Krynn, as shown by the Highgod. During
the creation, Paladine, Gilean and Takhisis learnt to infuse chaos into creation with
form and purpose. Paladine fashioned the elves in his likeness, as the creatures of
good. He also fashioned the metallic dragons to fight in his name. With Kiri-Jolith
and Habakkuk he helped Vinas Solamnus form the Knights of Solamnia, and was the

patron of the Knights of the Rose. During the War of Souls, he sacrificed his godhood
in order to stop the schemings of Takhisis. He now travels the world of Krynn as a
mortal, in the form of an elf known as Valthonis. His avatar was that of Fizban, a
befuddled old wizard. His followers included Knights of the Rose, Clerics of Good
alignment, and many other darn nice folk.
His other names included: Platinum Dragon, Bah'Mut, Dragonlord, E'li, Draco
Paladin, and Thak the Hammer.
Takhisis
Takhisis was the Chief God of Evil. During creation she made the ogres in her image,
they were powerful, near-immortals, beautiful and worshipped evil gods, and
enslaved races weaker than them. She also created the chromatic dragons by
twisting Paladine's initial dragon creations. During the 3rd Dragon War she sought to
enter Krynn but was defeated by the Solamnic Knight Huma Dragonbane and
banished to the Abyss. She later created draconians by perverting good dragon
eggs and lead the Dragon Highlords in conquering Krynn. Takhisis also aided
Ariakan to found the Knights of Takhisis in order to attempt to conquer Krynn again.
She was all that is evil and sought total domination of Krynn and of every creature
that resided in this world. During the Summer of Chaos she orchestrated the
stealing of Krynn and shifting it to another part of the multiverse. She then posed as
the One God and sought to dominate the world as the only resident god. Her plans
were thwarted however, and the other gods removed the mantle of godhood from
her. She was made mortal and in that form she was killed. Takhisis' body was carried
away by Mina, her final resting place is unknown. Her avatar was that of a five
headed dragon or of a beautiful temptress. Her followers were almost pretty much
any follower of darkness, particularly the Knights of Takhisis.
Some of her many names were: Lady Chaos, She of the Many Faces, Erestem,
Queen of Darkness, Tamex the False Metal, Mwarg, Tii'Mhut, and Nilat the Corruptor.
