Gods of the Pantheon

For most of the major races on Albasar there is an entire pantheon of deities. They are the creators of the material plane. Most reside in the Ethereal Plane, where the righteous go when they die and train to ready themselves for a final battle with the Evil Deities, called Kiamat. The gods of the world can take on any shape, and spend time traveling around as humans, but have preferred forms.
