Deities are the powerful beings who embody a certain factor of life, they are revered and worshiped by various religions across the world. Deities are often grouped into a pantheon, which is a cultural grouping often symbolizing the main body of the deity's followers as well as the other deities they are most commonly in association with.
  • Greater Deity are the most powerful and prestigious deities of the divine hierarchy, with an immense following and a greatly revered influence on the world.
  • Intermediate Deity is the second highest tier of a deities prominence, within the divine hierarchies.
  • Lesser Deity are third tier within the divine hierachy, these deities, while strong, retain the least prominence of the divine hierarchy, save for demigods.
  • Demipowers or demigods are immortal beings who are capable of granting spells to their followers. They are considered to be the first, most junior, rank on the tier of the divine hierarchy.

To be a Cleric in Netheril, you have to represent your Deity if you want their blessings. This means you must cast from within their Domains, and you must espouse their ideals by remaining true to their alignment. For every incorrect domain a cleric will suffer 20% spell failure. For every opposing axes of alignment a cleric will suffer 10% spell failure. Not picking a deity at all will cause a cleric to suffer 100% spell failure.

Disclaimer - we have added more deities to give players options, yes some might not have been around in the time period but we have taken creative liabilities and agree some may not be canon
