 Many of the traditional D&D and Pathfinder gods are worshipped in my world, although several home-brew deities have a following as well.  However, rather than worshipping individual deities, most people in the world venerate their local pantheon, and recognize the deities of other regions as well.  Most gods have their own priests and temples, but some priests might represent a whole pantheon of deities - The Green is a good example of that. Many of the traditional D&D and Pathfinder gods are worshipped in my world, although several home-brew deities have a following as well.  However, rather than worshipping individual deities, most people in the world venerate their local pantheon, and recognize the deities of other regions as well.  Most gods have their own priests and temples, but some priests might represent a whole pantheon of deities - The Green is a good example of that.

 +**The Three Sisters**
 +
 +  * **Sybel the Bounteous** -  the life mother, goddess of life and fertility – Mother of Creation
 +  * **Tia the Blessed** - Creator of natural death, souls and the afterlife.
 +  * **Fortuna** – Lady Luck and patron of Fate.

 +The three female over-deities, triplets whose origins are unknown, are all True Neutral.  They are grand and well known to high priests across the world - however, they are distant. They do not have churches or priesthoods and do not grant spells to mortals, nor do they recognize mortal prayers, but are believed to be the patrons and creators of deities and similar powers (past and Present). They are believed to be served by every deity, power or psychopomp, who can grant any of their domains – regardless of alignment.
 +++For Example|(Lamashtu, the PF mother of Monsters, serves Sybel in much the same way as Moradin or Ehlonna (a goddess of Forests, Woodlands, Flora, Fauna, and Fertility) does).++

-[[Wee-Jas|Wee Jas]] -  I have always liked Wee-Jas, and thought that she was one of the more original deities from the D&D pantheon.  She started off as a Lawful Neutral deity, changed to having Evil tendencies, but, with 5e, seems to have retuned to her earlier philosophies.  I have three separate 'churches' spread around my campaign world:  One with strongly LE philosophies, that is a hangover from earlier time, and two others that are more palatable in the 'modern' world. +[[Wee-Jas|Wee Jas]] -  I have always liked Wee-Jas, and thought that she was one of the more original deities from the D&D pantheon.  She started off as a Lawful Neutral deity, changed to having Evil tendencies, but, with 5e, seems to have returned to her earlier philosophies.  I have three separate 'churches' spread around my campaign world:  One with strongly LE philosophies, that is a hangover from earlier time, and two others that are more palatable in the 'modern' world.
