Greater Gods
Beltet
Greater God
Master of Magic, Knower of All, The Librarian
Symbol: Open book
Alignment: Neutral
Portfolio: Knowledge, Maintenance, Invention, Merchants
Domains: Knowledge, Magic, Craft, Trade
Beltet is the father of Helifax and Helios, the twin Gods of Time. He is relentless in his pursuit of knowledge and knows far more about the world and the planes than most other gods do, much less mortals. As such, his clerics tend to multiclass as diviners and enter the divine oracle prestige class since Beltet is all about aquiring knowledge.
Beltet is neutral because he frequently does actions that some would consider intrinsically evil for the purpose of discovering their cause and effects. Similarly, he does a lot of actions for the same reason that are intrinsically good.
Cruxio
Greater God
The Warmaster, The Black Blade
Symbol: Iron gauntlet in a fist
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Portfolio: War, Battle, Warriors, Dishonor
Domains: War, Evil, Law, Nobility
Cruxio took the position of the last God of War, Lucavi, by force, as is befitting his current position. Cruxio and Lucavi had a mighty battle, destroying wide swaths of the upper planes during their combat, before Cruxio managed to gain the upper hand and slay Lucavi, taking his portfolio as his own.
That being said, Cruxio is a rather new god (albeit a powerful one) and is still getting used to his divinity.
Erymethea
Greater Goddess
Allmother, The Homemaker
Symbol: Lit fireplace
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: Families, Mothers, Love, Respect
Domains: Family, Good, Air, Kar
Erymethea is the mother of the Twin Gods of Time, Helifax and Helios, though her "tryst" with Beltet is over now.
The birth of the Twin Gods was a blessed event, one Erymethea shared with her more devout followers. Many of her priestesses bore twins that year, despite many of them not having husbands (or being chaste).
Helifax
Greater God
The Empty Hourglass, Moonstealer
Symbol: Empty hourglass overlaying a crescent moon
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Portfolio: Fate, Loss, Aging, Moon
Domains: Time, Evil, Planning, Moon
Helifax and Helios are flip sides of the same coin. Helifax is one of the Twin Gods of Time, bore to Erymethea by Beltet.
Unlike his brother, Helifax is moody and depressive, but gets things done when he sets his mind to it. His grasp on the fates of many is powerful, and he spends much time with Mors, the God of Death, who has become something of a surrogate father to him.
Helios
Greater God
The Full Hourglass, Everyoung
Symbol: Full hourglass overlaying a sun
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Time, Youth, Exuberance, Sun
Domains: Time, Good, Celerity, Sun
Helifax and Helios are flip sides of the same coin. Helios is one of the Twin Gods of Time, bore to Erymethea by Beltet.
Helios is the patron of the nation of Heliosunde. He is carefree most of the time and has many remarkable ideas, but these rarely come to fruition, since he ceases his labors before moving off to a different project.
He spends a good deal of time with Viviantia, the Goddess of Life, who has shown him the ways of life and nature.
Horjin
Greater God
The Tiger, The Great Hunter, The God-Cat
Symbol: Tiger's Eye
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Hunt, Hunters, Cats, Survival
Domains: Hunt, Animal, Celerity, Strength
Horjin was a remarkable tiger who was made a god by Viviantia, the Goddess of Life. She was impressed by his exuberance and fortitude and christened him the God of the Hunt.
He spent several centuries without any followers at all and remained a Demigod before Sagittarius--his first follower--found him and named him. Soon after, Sagittarius founded the Hunters of the Stag, and Horjin's faith grew exponentially, skyrocketing him over the course of a few scant decades to a Greater God.
Lord Winter
Greater God
Ghulurak, The Frost
Symbol: Single Snowflake
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Portfolio: Winter, Cold, Fae, Insanity
Domains: Air, Ice, Evil, Destruction
Mors
Greater God
Death, The Sixth, Collector-Of-Souls
Symbol: Six interlocking rings
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Portfolio: Death, The Dead
Domains: Death, Fate, Time, Law
Mors is the God of Death and spends much of his time with Helifax. His former protege, Malystyxx, abandoned him and claimed the Undeath portfolio as his own, so Mors turned to Helifax to teach him about the ways of Death and Fate.
Mors, more than any other god, understands that even gods are mortal: he's claimed the lives of at least seven other deities, including Lucavi.
He finds Malystyxx's betrayal by Maunev amusing and ironic.
