The following is an overview of the principle gods of Plemar. Many more exist in the form of local deities or ancestors but they have little affect on the world at large. Note: While the art on the rest of the site is mine, most of the symbols used for the gods are borrowed from elsewhere. Many come from Wizards of the Coast products, while others are just picked off of Google. The sole exceptions are the symbols for Eiliestree and Lady Sol, which I drew and colored; I also drew and colored Vecna's but the symbol wasn't my design. The Gods of Plemar
Pelor is best known as a healer and a slayer of pestilence. He is always there for the needy and seeks to bring health and prosperity to the world. Of all the gods, Pelor is the mostly to directly intervene on the behalf of mortals. Pelor is Lady Sol's consort and Plemar's most widely used calender is based on the deeds of his faithful.
Grumish is the ancient enemy of Corellon Larethian, because of this his followers generally go the great lengths to exterminate elves. Grumish is known for his hot temper and impulsive actions. Due to the large population of goblinoids in the north, Grumish has the second highest number of followers after Pelor. Grumish is the father of the Orc race, and provides great strength and power to those who worship him. |

Grumish has a special fondness for large preditors
Heironeous has a special affinity for birds.
Nerull is the younger brother of Boccob and Wee Jas
Obad-Hai is the god of nature and natural order. He is slow and contemplative and rarely intervenes in the affairs of mortals, preferring to tend to animals and the wild. Obad-Hai despises anything that arises unnaturally and his followers constantly work to rid the world of aberrations and undead.
As a god of magic Boccob spends most of his time discovering and creating new types of magic, which eventually trickle down to his followers. It is amazing he even bother to grant his followers divine magic, since he stays out of mortal affairs in all other ways.
Hextor is the six armed god of war, he created the insect kingdom in his image, bearing six limbs and an armored exoskeleton. He is mal humored, and prone to cruelty and violence. His hatred for his half-brother, Heironeous, knows no bounds, and he constantly exhorts his followers to wreck havoc on Kalishar and aggravate Heironeous by any other means they might find fit. Only the strongest and most diabolical mortals find Hextor's favor. Legend has it that the Desert of Wrath was created as a result of the Half-brothers' quarrel.
Moradin is a close ally of the gnomish god, Glittergold.
Eiliestree- is the goddess of the moon, starlight, and all things of beauty. She encourages her follower to find peace with themselves and with the world, and to use their inner harmony to create things of beauty. Eiliestree- is the chief deity of the Lunar elves and their strong traditions of song and dance spring from her teachings.
The aloof goddess of knowledge and enlightenment, Lady Sol rarely shows her hand in the events of the world. She values knowledge and truth and encourages all people to seek them. It is said that she keeps a great book in which she records all that passes on Plemar. Pelor is her consort.
The hand of judgment and the patron of law, St. Cuthbert is often called on by city watches and other law enforcement groups. he is known to watch over trials and punish liars. Though not good himself St. Cuthert prefers good over evil, since good creatures are more likely to follow laws; his clerics mustn't be evil. St. Cuthbert is a close ally of Heironeous
The voice of moderation between her two brothers, Boccob and Nerull, as she is the middle child. Wee Jas is a demanding goddess who watches closely over her mortal followers, whether living or dead. Wee Jas has a vicious streak and favors darker more ollcot magics. Her followers fear her nearly as much as they worship her. She is said to hold the keys to the afterlife.
The God of Roads, the Protector of Drifters, Fharlanghn is a god who has seen many things; the dust of many worlds has settled on his cloak. Fharlanghn has few clerics but you can find small shrines to him almost anywhere roads cross. A wise traveler will make a small offering if he wishes for a fair journey.
Though the principle deity of the desert dwelling oman tribes of the south, Kord is a respected deity throughout Plemar. Many fights and competitions are held in his honor and he is called upon in peace and war whenever mortals need a helping hand.
A god of excess and perfidy, Olidammara can claim many worshippers, though few would admit it. His praises are often sung around kegs instead of alters. He is fickle with his favor, yet many a thief calls upon him in hope of gaining a pinch of his skill. Olidammara was originally allied with Hextor, but is now very much his own man.
Lloth- The Spider Queen, the Dark Maiden, Queen of Lusts, Weaver of Chaos, Lady of Spiders, Demon Queen of the Abyss Lloth, the Queen of Spiders, is a cruel and malicious deity. She cares only for herself and her own advancement. She delights in causing turmoil amongst her followers. Only the strongest and most cunning survive her trials, those that do are rewarded with great power. Lloth demands regular sacrifices from her followers.
Corellon was he creator of all elves, he is also the ancient enemy of Grumish, whose eye he poked out, and all orcs. Corellon urges his followers to seek greatness and use all means possible to destroy the orcs. He promise that once the orcs are destroyed the world will return to the idyllic state in which it existed at the beginning of time. Note: Corellon Larethian had not been heard from since most of the solar elves defected to Pelor several thousand years ago. His remaining clerics receive spells only infrequently and sometimes with drastic consequences. It is a matter of much discussion amongst scholars whether Corellon Larethian has abandoned his people, been imprisoned by Grumish, or is in fact dead.
A light-hearted and energetic deity, Glittergold is fond of imaginative pranks and a good laugh. He encourages his followers to enjoy life and live it to its fullest. He watches closely over the gnomes, a race he created, and tries to protect them from harm. Glittergold is also very fond of new technologies, witness the thingamigs and strange machinery for which gnomes are famous. Glittergold is a close ally of Moradin.

She watches closely over the halflings and helps them defend themselves against any threat. She proclaims that halflings need to work together, both with each other and with nature, if they are to prosper.

Art work and story line are copy write to me, most of the characeters belong to my players and most of the random rules information/spells comes from the Dungeons and Dragons core rule books. This is after all an illustrated campaign.
Also, now that the second phase of the comic has begun I must include a shout-out to Dungeon and Dragon Adventures, whose mask campaign setting lies at the heart of the story from here on out. Check them out.
Quest is hosted on comicgenesis, a free webhosting and site automation service for webcomics.
