The Pantheon of Saratta

 

            Little is known about where the gods came from, except perhaps to the oldest of dragons who may still live in this world.  To us, they have simply always been.  They interact with our world sometimes subtly, other times directly.  There is no reason to doubt they are there.  I have written this in the hopes that it may inform the masses.  We must all understand the gods, for they certainly understand us.

gods of Good

 

            Estridae - goddess of Life and Death

            Lawful Good

 

            Estridae is a healer to us, the life giver and Shepard to the world beyond.  Mother and truth to all the world.  Garbed in a white gown, she is the essence of beauty.  Her presence comforts those who are seeking calm, who are running from fear, and those in need.  All who rally under the light are blessed by her presence.

 

            The life giver of Saratta, and the one who will Shepard the World’s souls into eternity, Estridae is the deity of those who strive to lead their lives as good as possible.   She is said to protect the weak from the strong.  Many of the worlds Paladins and Clerics serve the goddess, dedicating their lives to her ideals in an effort to convert evil to good.  They are ever willing to lay down their lives for the people who need their help.

            Estridae is known differently all across Saratta. Her other titles include: The White Lady, Lifegiver, The goddess, Preserver, Llessa, and the eternal guide.

            Demáen - god of Fire

            Chaotic Good

 

            Demáen is the inspirer, the breath of courage that every warrior needs, the fires of hope that burn in all of our hearts.  He is the purger and renewer.  Towering and mighty, it is said that this god does not choose to take a male or female form, appearing to his followers as something that they want and need to see when the time for inspiration has come.  His flame burns in our very being, pushing us ever forward.

            Burning fires rage, wiping places clear, but the ashes also have a life giving property, what was destroyed will regrow in time, and when it does it is often for the better.  At the same time, the flames that ravage on the outside can be harnessed for inspiration and love within.  Demáen harnesses these powers, using them for the good of all and for the greater good. His power stirs people to action and flows forth compassion.
