Divinity

The Creator, the Father God, the God of Order over Chaos

Othar - God of Order - The Over God - God of All Creation - the Father God

Othar is the first god, a being beyond the gods, the father of all creation. Othar created Nione from a thought, and the gods from a dream. He is order itself. Othar doesn't have a hand in the day to day affairs of Nione, nor any other aspect oh his creation. He created the worlds and let them exist from there on their own. People may pay homage to Othar, but he is very rarely, if ever, worshipped. Prayers to him go unanswered and no powers are known to be granted by him beyond the creation of his children. Some speculate that the gods themselves can't even communicate with him. His power is all consuming but absent from the world.


Core Pantheon

There are 10 gods in the standard pantheon of Nione: Eva, Kaisis, Miuna, Miune, Aldar, Uru, Bodi, Ostrum, Holoria, and Ah'ona. The core pantheon of Nione may be known by different names in different cultures, but these are the most common names they are known by. These gods are all the children of the Father God, Othar.

Dragon Gods

The two dragon gods, Bahamut and Tiamat, powerful in their own rights, do not have the same concerns as those of the children of Othar. The dragon gods came to Nione after its creation and brought with them all of dragonkind. From the mightiest, the dragons themselves, to the lowliest, the kobolds, and everything in between. Bahamut and Tiamat are locked in an eternal power struggle with each other. They have fought for eons, and even destroyed their home world, Drakon, in a war. Their physical bodies were mortally wounded in the battle and they retreated to a cocoon-like state that floated through space until they were caught in the orbit of Nione. They are now in opposing orbits around Nione, in a sleep state, growing in power until one day they will awaken and begin their war anew.

Other Gods

There are many other gods that are not Othar's children. These gods are not worshiped at large, some are not openly worshiped at all but feed from some other source of ambient energy in the universe. Many of these gods are the creators of a race of people, or preside over some obscure land. Whatever their power comes from, or their origin, they are separate from the core pantheon but not necessarily less powerful.
