Bertoxxulous |
The Plague Bringer
Bertoxxulous has no
allies. His followers often follow the
dark art of necromancy, which he
wholeheartedly supports. The
Plaguebringer appears as a humanoid
hunchback draped in tattered, decaying
robes. Under his hood can be seen a very
handsome face attached to the body of a
rotting corpse. He is enemy of Tunare,
Rodcet Nife, Karana, Mithaniel Marr, and
Rallos Zek. He rules the Plane of
Disease, which is dark and drippy with
geysers of ooze and rivers of pus. The
land itself looks, feels and even smells
like decaying flesh, and is inhabited by
all manner of evil creatures and undead. |

Brell Seliris |
The Duke of Below
Brell is allied
with Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane, and an
enemy of Veeshan's. Followers of the
Duke of Below find true happiness in the
caves, caverns and tunnels that permeate
the belly of Norrath, but this is one of
few points upon which all followers of
Brell can agree. The Runny Eye Clan of
goblins claim he is their father, much
to the disgust of the dwarves of Kaladim
who are certain that only the dwarves
are the true children of Serilis. The
vicious gnolls of Split Paw disagree
entirely, for was it not Brell who
sculpted them out of the sacred Clay of
Cosgrove? Followers of Brell Serilis, in
one form or another, can be found nearly
anywhere you enter the Underfoot of
Norrath. |

Bristlebane |
The King of Thieves
Followers of
Bristlebane believe in having fun, at
the expense of nearly all else. Bards,
rogues, jesters, gamblers and gypsies
are all typical followers. They are
almost always very charming, clever, and
witty, traits which all Bristlebane
followers should strive to have.
Mischief in all its forms is encouraged.
Practical jokes are performed as if they
are the highest of rituals. Very few of
Bristlebane's followers are outright
wicked in their desires but it is best
to keep at least one eye on your purse
if they are about. And never let one
deal you a hand of King's Court. |

Cazic Thule |
The Faceless
Cazic-Thule is
allied with Rallos Zek and Innoruuk, and
the enemy of Mithaniel and Erollisi
Marr. Followers of the Faceless fear
their Lord and believe that only by
causing terror in others will they be
spared his vengeful wrath. Fear rules
their lives and through fear they rule
the lives of others. Pain, misery,
violence, torture, living sacrifice -
these are the tools of a Cazicite. Many
lizardman tribes are devout followers of
Cazic-Thule, but his number of humanoid
followers grows daily, a cold shadow
slowly engulfing the bright spots of
Norrath in a nightmare of horror and
pain. |

Erollisi Marr |
The Queen of Love
This sister of
Mithaniel and daughter of Tarew is
allied with Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane,
Mithaniel Marr, Rodcet Nife, Tunare and
Quellious. Her enemies are Innoruuk,
Cazic-Thule, Rallos Zek, and
Bertoxxulous. Followers of Erollisi
Marr, the Queen Of Love, cling to the
belief that love conquers all. It should
be pointed out that while love is a
generally peaceful concept, Erollisi
worshippers are not pacifists. They
would like to live in a world where
everyone loves everyone else and
violence does not exist but they are not
naove enough to think that Norrath is
that world. They are passionately
devoted to people, places and ideas and
are more than willing to fight and die
to preserve those things. The dream of
every follower of Erollisi is to die in
the selfless defense of someone or
something they love. Many paladins hear
the true calling of their hearts and
follow Erollisi Marr. |
Good |
|
Innoruuk |
The Prince of Hate
Innoruuk is allied
with Rallos Zek and Cazic-Thule, and the
enemy of Quellious, Mithaniel Marr, and
Erollisi Marr. Followers of Innoruuk,
the Prince of Hate, include nearly the
entire dark elven race who regard him as
their "Father". They believe that hate
is a creative force, or rather "THE"
creative force in the universe -
creativity born of destruction. Love
and kindness are tools for those too
ignorant to know what they want or too
cowardly to do what is necessary to
obtain it. They believe that it is only
through the total disdain of your
enemies that you can gain true power
over them. Pity and mercy have no power
when confronted with contempt and
viciousness. It is the honest belief of
the followers of Innoruuk that if they
were to hate strongly enough, they could
destroy all of Norrath. |
Evil |
|
Karana |
The Rain Keeper
Karana is allied
with Tunare and Mithaniel Marr.
Bertoxxulous is his enemy. Followers of
Karana, the Rainkeeper, believe in the
absolute power of storms. They worship
the life-giving power of the rain and
respect the destructive force of a
sandstorm or hurricane. Typical
followers of Karana are rural humanoids
- farmers, ranchers, hunters, and the
like. They will often offer strangers
shelter from the elements. Many of
Karana's followers live a nomadic
lifestyle, travelling where the winds
take them. They are humble, generous
people who value strength and honesty
and brook no disrespect of Karana or of
his work for they know it is only
through his wisdom and kindness that all
of Norrath is not consumed in an eternal
tempest. |
Good |
|
Mithaniel Marr |
The Truthbringer
(Also known as the Lightbringer)
Mithaniel Marr, the
Truthbringer, governs the Plane of
Valor. Mithaniel is the ultimate paladin
who wears a full suit of shining silver
plate armor and wields a glowing
longsword. Mithaniel Marr, who owes his
existence to Tarew Marr, leader of the
Triumvirate of Water, is allied with
Erollisi Marr and Karana. He counts
Innoruuk, Cazic-Thule, and Bertoxxulous
among his enemies. He has a friendly
rivalry with Solusek Ro. |
Good |
|
Prexus |
The Ocean Lord
Prexus, the Ocean
Lord, is allied with Rodcet Nife and
enemy to Bertoxxulous. Followers of
Prexus believe that true power lies in
the vast depths of Norrath's oceans.
They believe that eons ago life first
formed in the murky deep and that one
day, the oceans will rise again to
consume those who are unworthy and
embrace the faithful. The Oceanlord's
servants tend to live and work near, on,
or beneath, large bodies of water. They
seek to spread the word of Prexus to all
who will hear and defend the oceans and
seas of Norrath against any who would
cause them harm. Many sailors and
fishermen are followers of Prexus. |
Good |
|
Quellious |
The Tranquil
This peaceful
child-goddess is allied with Rodcet Nife
and Erollisi Marr, and an enemy to
Rallos Zek and Innoruuk. Followers of
Quellious the Tranquil seek peace. They
are not strict pacifists, though, and
will fight to defend themselves and
their loved ones. The peace they seek is
an inner one. They wish to know all
there is to know about themselves and
the world around them. They thirst for
knowledge of their true selves and
strive to help others attain
enlightenment. It is through the sharing
of this knowledge that they believe
universal peace can be obtained. If
every creature fully understood itself
and its neighbors there would be no need
for conflict and war. Followers of
Quellious often follow a nomadic
lifestyle, constantly seeking what there
is to know and hoping to find themselves
along the way. |
Good |
|
Rallos Zek |
The WarLord
Rallos Zek is
allied with Innoruuk and Cazic-Thule,
enemy to Quellious and Bertoxxulous. The
followers of Rallos Zek, the Warlord,
believe in survival of the strong and
death to the weak. The heart of a true
follower of Zek yearns for strength,
courage, but above all, victory. They
believe that the heat of battle is the
only place and time where enlightenment
can be gained, that the universe was
formed by conflict and in conflict it
will end, with the victors feasting upon
the remains of their fallen enemy. No
respect or regard is given to the dead,
for if they were worthy their hearts
would still pump blood through their
veins and not upon the soil of Norrath.
The followers of Zek are almost
exclusively warriors. |

|
Rodcet Nife |
The Prime Healer
Rodcet Nife is
allied with Karana, Quellious, Erollisi
Marr and Prexus, and his only enemy is
Bertoxxulous. Followers of the Prime
Healer take a solemn oath to fight
disease and death until one or the other
finally claims them. They are very
generous and humble, asking little more
than that the recipients of their aid
pass the kindness on to another. They
are not content to deal with the effects
of disease and death after they occur
and vigorously seek to destroy the
sources of these evils. Healers and
mystics are typical followers but many
noble rangers and paladins also have
also taken the Nife Oath. They believe
that, through faith in the Prime Healer,
the wounded heart of the universe shall
one day be mended and death's dark
shadow will never be seen again. |

Solusek Ro |
The Burning Prince
The Plane of Sun is
ruled by Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince.
His father, Fennin Ro is the Tyrant of
Fire who rules the greater elemental
Plane of Fire, from which the Plane of
Sun derives its power. Solusek wears a
suit of golden ringmail and a crown of
flame and wields a spear of fire. He is
allied with no one, enemies with no one.
He has a friendly rivalry with Mithaniel
Marr. |
Neutral |
|
The Tribunal |
The Council of
Justice
The Plane of
Justice is ruled by a council of six
beings known as the Tribunal. The
members of the Tribunal wear dark,
hooded cloaks and masks and each carries
a large warhammer. The plane itself is
inhabited only by beings imprisoned here
by the Tribunal for crimes against the
universe and by the golems the Tribunal
has constructed to serve as guards. They
are allied with no one, enemies with no
one. |
Neutral |
|
Tunare |
The Mother of All
Allied with Karana,
Erollisi Marr and Rodcet Nife, and
enemies with Bertoxxulous, Tunare, the
Mother of All, rules the Plane of
Growth. Tunare appears as a very
attractive older humanoid female wearing
flowing robes and a crown of vines and
leaves. Tunare is very protective of
what she considers to be one of Her
finest achievements, the good elf races
of Norrath. As part of an agreement with
Brell Serilis and Prexus and in response
to the arrogance of Veeshan in claiming
Norrath for her own, Tunare created the
High Elves and the wood elves of Norrath. |
Good |
|
Veeshan |
The Mother of all
Wurms (also known as the Wurm Queen)
Veeshan is the
great crystalline dragon who rules the
Plane of Sky. She needs no allies but
considers Brell Serilis an enemy.
Veeshan is known as the Mother of All
Wurms and this title includes all of
dragonkind such as the drakes and
wyverns. When the universe was young,
Veeshan traveled throughout the cosmos
depositing Her children on worlds She
deemed worthy. She would then strike the
planet with Her massive claws so that
the other deities would know She had
laid claim to that world. The continent
of Velious on Norrath bears Her mark,
known as the Scars of Veeshan. |
