Deities
The five powers of the frontier, from the Radiant Flame to the Lord of the Withered Throne.
Halor, the Radiant Flame
Alignment: Lawful Good
Titles: The Bright Judge, Flame of Mercy, Dawnshield
Symbol: A golden flame within a silver sunburst
Favored Weapon: Mace (clerics), longsword (paladins)
Domains: Light, Life, War, Order
Creed & Purpose
Halor is the god of light, justice, and the sanctity of life. His followers are sworn to eradicate the undead, uphold righteous law, and bring healing where there is hurt. His temples are simple but immaculate, always lit by flame. Clerics of Halor serve as healers, exorcists, and arbiters of truth. Paladins invoke his name when facing darkness.
“Where light does not go, evil thrives. We bring the dawn.”
Malthagor, Lord of the Withered Throne
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Titles: The Grave-Binder, King of the Quiet, Woe’s Architect
Symbol: A black crown atop a skull whose jaw is stitched shut
Favored Servants: Liches, necromancers, corrupted clergy
Domains: Undeath, Shadow, Corruption, Pain
Creed & Purpose
Malthagor is the enemy of life and time itself. He seeks to still the cycle of birth and death and replace it with silence, rot, and obedient decay. His presence is felt in cursed tombs, plague pits, and forgotten cult shrines. Most common folk do not even know his name—only the terror of what he leaves behind.
“Let breath cease, and silence reign. All thrones are dust, save mine.”
