B E R T O X X U L O U S
· The Plaguebringer
Bertoxxulous
has no allies. His followers often follow
the dark art of necromancy, which he wholeheartedly
supports. The Plaguebringer appears as a humanoid
hunchback draped in tattered, decaying robes.
Under his hood can be seen a very handsome
face attached to the body of a rotting corpse.
He is enemies with Tunare, Rodcet Nife, Karana,
Mithaniel Marr, and Rallos Zek. He rules the
Plane of Disease, which is dark and drippy
with geysers of ooze and rivers of pus.
The land itself looks, feels and even smells
like decaying flesh, and is inhabited by all
manner of evil creatures and undead. |

B R E L L S E R I L I S
· The Duke of Below
Brell
is allied with Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane, and
an enemy of Veeshan's. Followers of the Duke
of Below find true happiness in the caves,
caverns and tunnels that permeate the belly
of Norrath, but this is one of few points
upon which all followers of Brell can agree.
The Runny Eye Clan of goblins claim he is
their father, much to the disgust of the dwarves
of Kaladim who are certain that only the dwarves
are the true children of Serilis. The vicious
gnolls of Split Paw disagree entirely, for
was it not Brell who sculpted them out of
the sacred Clay of Cosgrove? Followers of
Brell Serilis, in one form or another, can
be found nearly anywhere you enter the Underfoot
of Norrath. |

B R I S T L E B A N E
· The King of Thieves
Followers
of Bristlebane believe in having fun, at the
expense of nearly all else. Bards, rogues,
jesters, gamblers and gypsies are all typical
followers. They are almost always very charming,
clever, and witty, traits which all Bristlebane
followers should strive to have. Mischief
in all its forms is encouraged. Practical
jokes are performed as if they are the highest
of rituals. Very few of Bristlebane's followers
are outright wicked in their desires but it
is best to keep at least one eye on your purse
if they are about. And never let one deal
you a hand of King's Court. |

C A Z I C - T H U L E
· The Faceless
Cazic-Thule
is allied with Rallos Zek and Innoruuk, and
the enemy of Mithaniel and Erollisi Marr.
Followers of the Faceless, fear their Lord
and believe that only by causing terror in
others will they be spared his vengeful wrath.
Fear rules their lives and through fear they
rule the lives of others. Pain, misery, violence,
torture, living sacrifice - these are the
tools of a Cazicite. Many lizardman tribes
are devout followers of Cazic-Thule, but his
number of humanoid followers grows daily,
a cold shadow slowly engulfing the bright
spots of Norrath in a nightmare of horror
and pain. |

 |
|
E ' C I
· The Wintry Guardian
E'ci,
known as the Wintry Guardian upon mortal tongues,
is the second member of the Triumvirate of
Water. The goddess embodies the material form
and essence of ice, the solid matter of the
plane she helps govern. This entity is rumored
to hold great control, perhaps nearly to the
point of tyranny if one can believe the fantastical
tales of the gods of Influence and Nature,
over her portion of the realm. The tales of
her devotion to the balance of her realm against
the other elemental powers have fostered a
lingering, fearful respect for the goddess
within the hearts of the lesser pantheon. |
|
 |
|
F E N N I N R O
· The Tyrant of Fire
Fennin
Ro is the being who rules the greater elemental
Plane of Fire, from which he derives his title,
the Tyrant of Fire. Fennin manifests himself
as a large male humanoid with barbaric features
including a beard of flame, glowing red eyes,
pointed ears, and fangs. Although he has been
known to be a fanatic in terms of preserving
the element of fire, displaying a short temper
toward that preservation and any who would
dare to threaten it, Fennin Ro retains a strong
influence on the wheel of Order and Discord. |

|
I N N O R U U K
· The Prince of Hate
Innoruuk
is allied with Rallos Zek and Cazic-Thule,
and the enemy of Quellious, Mithaniel Marr,
and Erollisi Marr. Followers of Innoruuk,
the Prince of Hate, include nearly the entire
dark elven race who regard him as their "Father."
They believe that hate is a creative force,
or rather "THE" creative force in
the universe - creativity born of destruction.
Love and kindness are tools for those too
ignorant to know what they want or too cowardly
to do what is necessary to obtain it. They
believe that it is only through the total
disdain of your enemies that you can gain
true power over them. Pity and mercy have
no power when confronted with contempt and
viciousness. It is the honest belief of the
followers of Innoruuk that if they were to
hate strongly enough, they could destroy all
of Norrath. |
|
 |
|
K A R A N A
· The Rainkeeper
Karana
is allied with Tunare and Mithaniel Marr.
Bertoxxulous is his enemy. Followers of Karana,
the Rainkeeper, believe in the absolute power
of storms. They worship the life-giving power
of the rain and respect the destructive force
of a sandstorm or hurricane. Typical followers
of Karana are rural humanoids - farmers, ranchers,
hunters, and the like. They will often offer
strangers shelter from the elements. Many
of Karana's followers live a nomadic lifestyle,
travelling where the winds take them. They
are humble, generous people who value strength
and honesty and brook no disrespect of Karana
or of his work for they know it is only through
his wisdom and kindness that all of Norrath
is not consumed in an eternal tempest. |

· The Queen of Love
This
sister of Mithaniel and daughter of Tarew
is allied with Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane, Mithaniel
Marr, Rodcet Nife, Tunare and Quellious. Her
enemies are Innoruuk, Cazic-Thule, Rallos
Zek, and Bertoxxulous. Followers of Erollisi
Marr, the Queen Of Love, cling to the belief
that love conquers all. It should be pointed
out that while love is a generally peaceful
concept, Erollisi worshippers are not pacifists.
They would like to live in a world where everyone
loves everyone else and violence does not
exist but they are not naïve enough to think
that Norrath is that world. They are passionately
devoted to people, places and ideas and are
more than willing to fight and die to preserve
those things. The dream of every follower
of Erollisi is to die in the selfless defense
of someone or something they love. Many paladins
hear the true calling of their hearts and
follow Erollisi Marr. |

M A R R , M I T H A N I E L
· The Truthbringer
Mithaniel
Marr, the Truthbringer, governs the Plane
of Valor. Mithaniel is the ultimate paladin
who wears a full suit of shining silver plate
armor and wields a glowing longsword. Mithaniel
Marr, who owes his existence to Tarew Marr,
leader of the Triumvirate of Water, is allied
with Erollisi Marr and Karana. He counts Innoruuk,
Cazic-Thule, and Bertoxxulous among his enemies.
He has a friendly rivalry with Solusek Ro. |

M A R R , T A R E W
· The Fathom Lord, Ruler of the Triumvirate of Water
The
Fathom Lord or, as he is known in the divine
tongue of Influence and Nature, Tarew Marr,
is the first member of the Triumvirate of
Water. He is the sole lord and commander of
the plane's most abundant form of the element.
The people of Norrath know little of him,
and his relationship to Mithaniel and Erollisi
Marr is a source of constant debate amongst
their followers. He is believed to have given
physical form and intelligence to the influences
of Love and Valor in the personages of Erollisi
and Mithaniel Marr, respectively, and given
them power over their namesake planes. |
|
 |
|
T H E N A M E L E S S
This
being of ultimate power has no name and is
unknown to most of Norrath. It has no image
in which to create others, nor does it have
a personality as even deities would. It is
simply a driving force which causes universes
to exist. Or not to exist, at its own whim. |
|
 |
|
P O V A R
· The Veiled One
Povar,
or The Veiled One, is the third member of
the Triumvirate of Water. Povar is the conscious
essence of water in its vaporous state and
controls a third of the Elemental Plane. Being
neither male nor female in form, neither tangible
nor incorporeal, this divine entity holds
the greatest mystery of the Triumvirate's
members to the lesser gods. Keeping attentions
focused upon the realm they assist to govern,
Povar gives neither care nor notice to the
wheel of Nature and Influence. This member
of the Triumvirate has given no recorded notion
or action beyond its own realm and the greater
wheel of Elemental Powers. |
|
 |
|
P R E X U S
· The Ocean Lord
Prexus,
the Ocean Lord, is allied with Rodcet Nife
and enemy to Bertoxxulous. Followers of Prexus
believe that true power lies in the vast depths
of Norrath's oceans. They believe that eons
ago life first formed in the murky deep and
that one day the oceans will rise again to
consume those who are unworthy and embrace
the faithful. The Oceanlord's servants tend
to live and work near, on, or beneath, large
bodies of water. They seek to spread the word
of Prexus to all who will hear and defend
the oceans and seas of Norrath against any
who would cause them harm. Many sailors and
fishermen are followers of Prexus. |
|

Q U E L L I O U S
· The Tranquil
This
peaceful child-goddess is allied with Rodcet
Nife and Erollisi Marr, and an enemy to Rallos
Zek and Innoruuk. Followers of Quellious the
Tranquil seek peace. They are not strict pacifists,
though, and will fight to defend themselves
and their loved ones. The peace they seek
is an inner one. They wish to know all there
is to know about themselves and the world
around them. They thirst for knowledge of
their true selves and strive to help others
attain enlightenment. It is through the sharing
of this knowledge that they believe universal
peace can be obtained. If every creature fully
understood itself and its neighbors there
would be no need for conflict and war. Followers
of Quellious often follow a nomadic lifestyle,
constantly seeking what there is to know and
hoping to find themselves along the way. |
|
 |
|
T H E R A T H E
· The Council
The
Rathe is a council of twelve beings that rule
over the Plane of Earth. Each member of the
Council maintains an identical presence of
grass-green hair and earthen skin with veins
of gold and turquoise. The Council is an extension
of the plane itself. Thus, if one member is
cut down another will shortly rise to take
its place. The Council of Earth is the only
power of the Planes of Order to have looked
down upon the material realm with interest,
but remain truly neutral in their dealings
with the lesser pantheon. |

 |
|
R O D C E T N I F E
· The Prime Healer
Rodcet
Nife is allied with Karana, Quellious, Erollisi
Marr and Prexus, and his only enemy is Bertoxxulous.
Followers of the Prime Healer take a solemn
oath to fight disease and death until one
or the other finally claims them. They are
very generous and humble, asking little more
than that the recipients of their aid pass
the kindness on to another. They are not content
to deal with the effects of disease and death
after they occur and vigorously seek to destroy
the sources of these evils. Healers and mystics
are typical followers but many noble rangers
and paladins also have also taken the Nife
Oath. They believe that, through faith in
the Prime Healer, the wounded heart of the
universe shall one day be mended and death's
dark shadow will never be seen again. |

S O L U S E K R O
· The Burning Prince
The
Plane of Sun is ruled by Solusek Ro, the Burning
Prince. His father, Fennin Ro is the Tyrant
of Fire who rules the greater elemental Plane
of Fire, from which the Plane of Sun derives
its power. Solusek wears a suit of golden
ringmail and a crown of flame and wields a
spear of fire. He is allied with no one, enemies
with no one. He has a friendly rivalry with
Mithaniel Marr. |
|
 |
|
T H E T R I B U N A L
· The Council of Justice
The
Plane of Justice is ruled by a council of
six beings known as the Tribunal. The members
of the Tribunal wear dark, hooded cloaks and
masks and each carries a large warhammer.
The plane itself is inhabited only by beings
imprisoned here by the Tribunal for crimes
against the universe and by the golems the
Tribunal has constructed to serve as guards.
They are allied with no one, enemies with
no one. |

T U N A R E
· The Mother of All
Allied
with Karana, Erollisi Marr and Rodcet Nife,
and enemies with Bertoxxulous, Tunare, the
Mother of All, rules the Plane of Growth.
Tunare appears as a very attractive older
humanoid female wearing flowing robes and
a crown of vines and leaves. Tunare is very
protective of what she considers to be one
of Her finest achievements, the good elf races
of Norrath. As part of an agreement with Brell
Serilis and Prexus and in response to the
arrogance of Veeshan in claiming Norrath for
her own, Tunare created the High Elves and
the wood elves of Norrath. |
|
 |
|
V E E S H A N
· The Mother of All Wurms
Veeshan
is the great crystalline dragon who rules
the Plane of Sky. She needs no allies but
considers Brell Serilis an enemy. Veeshan
is known as the Mother of All Wurms and this
title includes all of dragonkind such as the
drakes and wyverns. When the universe was
young, Veeshan traveled throughout the cosmos
depositing Her children on worlds She deemed
worthy. She would then strike the planet with
Her massive claws so that the other deities
would know She had laid claim to that world.
The continent of Velious on Norrath bears
Her mark, known as the Scars of Veeshan. |

 |
|
X E G O N Y
· The Queen Of Air
The
Plane of Air is ruled by Xegony, the Queen
Of Air, a beautiful, young-looking, elfin
female humanoid with angel-like wings. Amongst
the greater elemental powers, her angelic
manner and appearance grant her the greatest
regard, for being the most delicate and benevolent
in her ways. She is, as well, the greatest
mystery to the lesser pantheon in her being,
never having turned her attentions from the
greater wheel of the true elements. |
|
 |
|
Z E K , R A L L O S
· The Warlord
Rallos
Zek is allied with Innoruuk and Cazic-Thule,
enemy to Quellious and Bertoxxulous. The followers
of Rallos Zek, the Warlord, believe in survival
of the strong and death to the weak. The heart
of a true follower of Zek yearns for strength,
courage, but above all, victory. They believe
that the heat of battle is the only place
and time where enlightenment can be gained,
that the universe was formed by conflict and
in conflict it will end, with the victors
feasting upon the remains of their fallen
enemy. No respect or regard is given to the
dead, for if they were worthy their hearts
would still pump blood through their veins
and not upon the soil of Norrath. The followers
of Zek are almost exclusively warriors . |

A Y O N A E R O
· The Maestra
Created
at the whim of the demi-goddess Druzzil Ro
for the purpose of creating music to soothe
the soul, Ayonae Ro grew to develop powers
and a distinct personality of her own. Druzzil
sacrificed a small portion of her own place
to create a new realm to be dominated by Ayonae
Ro, the Demi-Plane of Music. Ayonae can not
only cause others to become caught up in her
music to the point of feeling the emotions
therein, she is able to mold and shape the
very realm in which she lives, much as her
mother does with her own magical skills. |
|
 |
|
D R U Z Z I L R O
· The Matron of the Art
Druzzil
has white hair which is held back from her
face by a massive platinum crown with a single
white gem that blazes like a brilliant white
star upon her brow. She is tall, youthful
in appearance, with a resemblance to Erudite
in skin and body structure. The Demi-Plane
of Magic became the home of the goddess of
magic. In its natural state, it is an infinitely
expansive plane of perfect white and unblemished
marble under a gray and featureless sky, though
one would likely never glimpse her plane in
such a state. Through the will of Druzzil
Ro, her home takes the shape, form and features
that reflect her current mood. Her plane is
simply a canvas for her art. |

|
L U C L I N
· The Maiden of Shadows
Luclin,
the Maiden of Shadows rules the Plane of Shadow,
She is short of stature, about 4'9" tall;
sleek and thin, with an elfin body structure.
Her short hair is deep gray with long side
locks down to her stomach. Her silver eyes
have no pupils and her skin is solid black.
She wears black and gray robes and a shadowy
mist perpetually swirls around her feet. In
one hand she bears a massive silver and platinum
staff carved in the shape of two tendrils
wrapping around one another to form two humanoid
hands at the top. Floating just above the
cupped palms of the hands is a small black
orb whose surface has an iridescent sheen
similar to that of oil. |
|
 |
|
S A R Y R N
· The Mistress of Torment/Pain
Born
a woman of striking beauty, she now rules
the Demi-Plane of Pain, a hot, damp and uncomfortable
place with no flat surfaces on which to walk.
Instead the ground is cluttered with small,
closely placed, stalagmites of smooth obsidian.
Saryrn busies herself by spending personal
time with those cursed enough to live in her
realm. She captures and torments her subjects
mentally and physically and completely at
random. The length of their torment before
she releases them again, is also completely
random - based mainly upon her whims. Those
who fall into her hands may suffer but a few
moments or for months at a time. All live
with the fear that at any time, she may choose
them as a partner. |

T H U L E , M O R E L L
· The Lord of Dreams
Morell-Thule,
the Lord of Dreams rules the Demi-Plane of
Dreams where he is responsible for the rich
texture of sleep visions. He creates, animates
and thoroughly enjoys the creatures who romp
in his realm. Though nearly seven feet tall
and well built, he has handsome and youthful
features. His body habitus is that of a pure
white centaur with the tail of a lion. His
silver hooves sparkle constantly because of
the unicorn-like horn on his brow. That horn
is not made of hair as with most such protuberances,
but is purely a thing of light. His long hair
grows down his spine and ends in a glistening
white mane which, with his pale skin, set
off his beautiful green eyes. |
|
 |
|
T H U L E , T E R R I S
· The Dream Scorcher
Terris-Thule
is known as the Dream Scorcher or the Nightmare,
for her effect on the sleep of dreamers. She
rules the Demi-plane of Nightmares and delights
in torturing the innocent as they rest. She
is tall, well over six feet in height and
skeletally thin. Her skin is pale with hints
of gray. Long, black fingernails extend from
her bony hands, to match her slinky gown.
Her face is smooth - no features mar its sleek
surface other than two empty black eye sockets.
Long black hair flows back from two massive
brass horns at her temples. |
|
 |
|
T O R V O N N I L O U S
· Lord of Greed
Torvonnilous
rules the Demi-Plane of Greed where he sits
and plots ways of gaining even more treasure
than what he already has. Though he wears
numerous articles of jewelry crafted of all
sorts of precious metals encrusted with every
type of gem imaginable - earrings, amulets,
brooches and much more - he is never satisfied.
He is male in appearance, of medium height
and slight build. He wears a suit of finely
woven, green-and-yellow-embroidered red silk
cloth. His face is clean-shaven, though not
particularly handsome, and in one beringed
hand he bears an obsidian cane with a platinum
dragon's head upon the top. |

V A Z A E L L E K A L E I N E
· The Mad
An
Erudite by heritage, Vazaelle lived among
those who were ousted from Erudin for necromancy.
During her lifetime, she was a dedicated devout
Cazicite, though a combination of religious
zeal and prophetic visions stripped from her
any semblance of sanity. Lifted up by her
deity and given her own domain, the power
of her madness shaped it into the semblance
of old Paineel after its destruction. From
her realm, Vazaelle occasionally foresees
an event in the future of some unsuspecting
Norrathian citizen, whose life will change
drastically when that event occurs. Depending
on the severity of Vazaelle's mental state
during the vision, that poor individual will
know some degree of madness for the rest of
their days, suffering from the touch of Vazaelle
the Mad. |

Z E B U X O R U K
· The Forsaken
Zebuxoruk
is neither evil nor good. Legends place him
as evil and other legends untold place him
on the side of good. To the other deities,
they ALL dislike him or simply couldn't care
less. Zebuxoruk was at some time in the form
of mortal man and trod upon the surface of
Norrath after escaping the Plane of Justice
or the Void. Mortality was either something
forced upon him or something he may have wished
for. Zebuxoruk is known as the Forsaken One,
The Disgraced and other such names among the
pantheon of deities and heroes of the Outer
Planes of Influence.
There
is said to be a hidden city on Norrath that
honor, not worship, the 'Ungod', Zebuxoruk.
Something not even he truly cares for. This
city has knowledge of his history both true
and false and the community is mostly comprised
of fallen priests, shadowknight, paladins,
any who have been forsaken by thier deities
and either seek a pathway back or seek true
neutrality among the planes and and understanding
that the deities are more mortal than they
think.

· The Beholder of Battle
Known
as the Beholder of Battle and as a master
of strategy, Tallon Zek resides on the Plane
of War along with his alter ego Vallon Zek.
He is a tall, older-looking orc-like being,
who appears to be very wise, with good cause.
He wears a set of sturdy steel plate armor
without a helm, and carries his famed obsidian
war bow. |

· The Governor of War
Vallon
Zek is a master tactician dubbed the Governor
of War and, with his alter ego Tallon Zek,
resides on the Plane of War with Rallos
Zek. Vallon's manifestation is that of an
older, muscular, physically strong male orc-like
figure who wears blackened chain covered by
an emerald and black cloak. His appearance
is that of a regal general at arms, upright
and stern, wise and aristocratic. At his belt,
he bears a silvery saber, which he has been
said to wave when explaining tactics to others. |
