Old World Pantheon

"The Gods are great, but only a fool would trust them with their lives!"

- Boryar Bearfinder, Priest of Ursun

The Old World Pantheon is a collection of different god-like deities tied together between two different family groupings. The first and most ancient Pantheon is the Elder Gods, also known as the Northern Gods whose worship is most predominate within the harsh northern lands of the Old World, such as the Empire of Man and the Kingdom of Kislev. The second and youngest Pantheon are the Classical Gods, also known as the Southern Gods, whose worship is located within the less hostile and fertile south, such as the fractious kingdoms of Tilea and Estalia.

Another sub-grouping of Gods that are present within the Old World but are only exclusive to certain areas and certain nations are the Patron Gods. These Gods are unique as they are not connected to either the Elder nor Classical Gods by blood-relation, but are nonetheless acknowledged as being a part of the Old World Pantheon as a whole. These Patron Gods includes dieties such as Sigmar, patron god of the Empire of Man, or the Lady of the Lake, patron goddess of the Kingdom of Bretonnia. The Kingdom of Kislev also has a collection of Gods within their own beliefs, but only a few are recognized as true deities rather than simple superstition, and are sometimes excluded from the Old World Pantheons, with the possible exception of Ursun.
