The Motherlands pantheon is based on a mash‐up if you will of Greek and Roman myth with the medieval Church. It is worshipped throughout the Motherlands, from Nomo to Tremayne to Lyonesse, with a few regional and foreign gods mixed in here and there. The city‐state of Ishkabibel was dedicated to Venus, but has since fallen to the Tiamat‐worshipping nomads of the Crimson Waste.
Jove is, naturally, the head of the pantheon, though he is not the most popular of the Motherlander deities.

The Priestly Colleges
Although many deities are worshiped in the Motherlands, listed deities are the most popular and well known. Most city‐states have a temple or shrine to each of them. Each city‐state in the Motherlands has a college of priests (usually 10 to 20) assigned to each temple. The college is headed by a pontiff, and each temple priest is assisted by a staff of lesser clergy. Some city‐states have an upper college dedicated to the Motherlander deities and a lower college that oversees the temples of foreign deities.
