Bastonian Pantheon

The Bastonian Pantheon is a form of hierarchical polytheism, centered around an almighty creator diety and her retinue of Saints, who are held to be ancient though once-mortal (indeed, once-human) beings ascended to godhood by their good works and the grace of The Almighty, or through evil deeds and brokering deals with The Enemy. While all Bastonians recognize the primacy of The Almighty and the legitimacy of all the saints, few worship the Saints especially, except those in orders dedicated to those saints, and the religious who find their patronage among one saint in particular. In addition to any observances particular to a given patron saint, refer to The Almighty for an analysis of religious practices common to the whole Kingdom.

The evil dieties within the pantheon are not worshipped openly, and in addition evil Bastonians occasionally take patronage from the evil gods of other pantheons, or from the Princes of Hell or Lords of the Abyss.
