The gods
The Natherine, Gods of the Old Balance
Though older than The Gods of Creation there have been very few records kept of their worship or theology. Only their devoted priesthood exist to spread their ancient words of wisdom through word of mouth. Many call the Natherine, The Old Ones, associating them with the beings believed to inhabit the planes before The Darkness was pushed back. The disparity in time is one of many mysteries that surround The Natherine Pantheon.
The lack of written lore is attributed to the declining acceptance by modern society. Natherine worship is kept primarily by more primitive and tradition oriented societies like that of the Marakesh, old Quish, and up until their doomed uprising the Krent.

The Gods of Creation
The Creation of The Light states that when life first appeared on Urth it was in the form of the first elves, and primitive man. Born into existence to guide and direct them were The Creators. While The Natherine busy themselves with their endless war against The Darkness and are too aloof to be concerned with the dealings of man, The Gods of Creation expend all of their energies manipulating the affairs of mortals in their guidance of fate.
Throughout Urth’s many civilizations there are dozens of tomes documenting the many Creators though most only concern themselves with the nine greater deities.

Sarnic Cult
The high priest of Sarna wear the scriptures of the cult upon their flesh and upon death that flesh is woven into a new copy of The Black Book. It is said that The Creator Sarna, god of corruption, descended from godhood to share the true word among his followers. He taught that godhood or more importantly demonhood could be achieved by any mortal thus godhood was a farce. This subversive belief system was not something that the Creationist temple could let stand and a pogram destroyed the followers of Sarna. Yet on the fringes small sects of Sarnic cultist arise to continue to spread the teachings of demofication.
Sarna- not considered a god as much as the figurehead and leader of the Sarnic movement
