Ostroian Pantheon
The Ostroian Pantheon are the primary deities of Ostroia. Being responsible for its creation, they occasionally continue to dally in mortal affairs. The primary exalted ("good") god is Ahion, god of fire and light. The primary fallen ("bad") god is Istoi, goddess of lightning and thunder.
All the gods have access to divine magic beyond mortal comprehension and regularly share some of their powers with mortals who worship them or otherwise support their motives. The primary gods of the Ostroian Pantheon are unlikely to worry themselves with mortal affairs, and leave any direct intercession to their Faint Divinities and worshippers.
So I sorta made this but mostly just Frankenstein-ed the beautiful stained glass style art of Eshpur to suit my needs. This collage has all 9 (sort of 8) main gods: pictured left to right are Akana, Ahion, Aelin, Eanos, Ebin, Istoi, Etuno, Idis, and Iarus.
The gods that make up the Ostroian Pantheon generally fall into two large groups: exalted gods are considered forces of good, while fallen gods are considered forces of evil. However, the lines between good and evil are not as clear as the pantheon would have you believe. The outbursts of Eanos (and subsequent creation of the fallen gods: Idis, Istoi, and Iarus) have led him to be considered exalted and fallen at different points in history. The eternal battle between Idis and the siblings Ahion and Aelin is often bloody and all encompassing, and Akana’s natural creations are not always gentle. Ebin cares little about the activities of her peers, while Etuno is so unknown and unseen that their influence is taken for granted.
