Salarian Pantheon

The primary pantheon throughout Salara is split into four levels of hierarchical power: the High Powers, the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods, and the Elder Gods. The High Powers were the creators of both the universe and the Great Old Ones, while the Outer Gods and Elder Gods were primarily the children of the Great Old Ones (with some exceptions).

There are numerous regional gods that are not typically recognized on the pantheon level. These gods tend to have smaller, independent followings and are not considered to sit among the major gods - in fact, many non-followers doubt their existence at all.

The High Powers
The greatest of all deities, the High Powers are responsible for creating the universe, all matter, and the Great Old Ones themselves. All things on earth fall under at least one of their domains.

The High Powers do not directly interact with the world, and have not done so since the universe's creation.

Great Old Ones
As the children of the High Powers, the Great Old Ones serve as the lords over all other deities. Most of the Elder Gods are also the children of these Great Old Ones. The Great Old Ones are incredibly powerful and are generally removed from the turning of the universe, but they do occasionally interact with their followers.

Outer Gods
With the exception of the Rulers of the Elements, most of the Outer Gods were brought into existence by a combination of the High Powers and the energy of the universe itself. The Outer Gods primarily hold domains that are rooted in the physical world, and don't generally interact with mortals (though they certainly have large followings). To everyone's knowledge, none of the Outer Gods have procreated.

Elder Gods
The Elder Gods are closest to the fabric of mortals, and are therefore the most commonly recognized among civilizations. Most of the Elder Gods were created by the Great Old Ones to rule over the world and keep things moving. Many of them follow the desires of their parents but some have gone their own ways or stood against their parents; perhaps the most notable example of this was Sulese standing against Tilfoc'nn during his father's rise from Ivelany.

Most clerics and paladins in Salara follow the Elder Gods.
