The Gods of Byzan are extremely interested in the affairs of mortals. Many of the races in the world of Byzan were put there by the Gods, and they have vested interests in getting their "people" ahead, but intervention is costly and makes you vulnerable. They love using Champions to carry out their will.
The Rings:
The Gods are organized into three rings. This doesn't imply alliance or anything, it's mostly an organizational model for mortals.
The Calamity Ring:
Dagalur - The Great Betrayer, The 7-Eyed God. Dagalur is the patron diety of spiders.
The Flenser - The Cruelty -
Drjha - Lady Chaos
Govegh - The Ashen Whore
Bharraghur - Shatterer of Monuments
GhaitenGyaz - The Drakelord
Pax - The Desert called Peace. If there is a god of war, it is Pax, but Pax is more the outcomes of War than war for its own sake.
The Co-Operative Ring:
Rhea - The Broken World - Rhea was the primordial mother-goddess of the entire world, formless but known. The Towers and the Charting of the Empire has driven her mad, and very few do know her name.
Drjho - Lord Order
Radegh - Guardian of Oaths, Rememberer of Curses
Molly - Lady Luck Herself
The Heroes of Kheev - Patron God of Kheev
GirDaga - The Roadmaker, the Bridgebuilder
Yodhzt - The Nobless Oblige
The Wretch - The Lying Name of Empire - The Wretch is the imperial cult of the Byzan. It loves control. It loves hegemony. It loves monopoly. It loves subjugation and greed and terror. It is an appetite, nothing more.
The Mysteries:
Dagatmyr - Life, Cycles, Rebirth
Halci(Nergal) - Lady Death Herself
Sol - The Unconquered Sun
Lund - The Unstoppable Night
Dagnyala - ?
Control - Homes, Hearths, Eternal Mountains, Promised Lands
Catche - ?
