-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.

+====== International Deities ======
-[[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.
+[[Wee-Jas|Wee Jas]] -  The priests of Wee Jas once conquered much of the world using portals that gave access to the Paths of the Dead. The Wangate Empire, named after the portals that were used to bring in undead monsters to pacify and control a region, ruled for centuries before it was overthrown.  The aftereffects are still felt around the world.  While there are few people who revere Wee Jas left in the world, they are a few, and (in most cases) they are still feared by the population at large..
+[[consolidated:religion:homebrewpantheons:thegreen|The Green]] - The philosophies followed by nature lovers everywhere.  While the detail charges from place to place, the core concepts of respecting the world, forests, animals and nature, in general, hold across the world.  This philosophy can incorporate the worship of many different deities and spirits.

 They aren't completely home-brewed  :)   Some contain deities from the D&D 3.5 rules, some include deities from the pathfinder rules, a few of them are home-brew deities, and some are just different presentations of something that already exists in the rules.  However, I feel they give my worlds a slightly different feel, and might make players think about their character background and personality a bit more.  All grist to the mill of role-playing.
