Here’s more information on gods of the “Vanished Lands.” I’ve provided the pantheon of the Zeda kingdom, as well as suggested patron deities for some of the other characters in our upcoming party.

The peoples of the Ivory Mountains value family/clan, craft, and security. They include Dwarves, Gnomes, and Woldan Halflings, as well as some Hifalendorin and Barbari humans and even some Grey Elves. Their traditions have changed little over the centuries, and they worship in temples filled with polished stone and watchful Clerics. This pantheon is loosely based on Norse myths and D&D.
