The Gods of the Slaves are a pantheon worshipped primarily by the slaves of Magnapur. Any religious texts by and large are written in the Languages of the local population, usually some variant of Low Magnapuri. Worship of these gods is highly regional, with many originating from Wood Elf folklore present in the region before the Magnapuri conquest. There are many local gods, so below are listed some of the most prominent.
Benedite is the Goddess of family, the harvest and fertility {Domains: Nature, Life, Solidarity}, and is mostly worshipped in the oldest part of the Empire near the capital. She is usually depicted as a fat woman with a kindly smile and large breasts. Many minor gods and goddesses are her children or grandchildren, some by adoption. Many expecting mothers pray to Benedite for a safe pregnancy.
Menedes is the God of rest, peace and death {Domains: Grave, Peace, Twilight}. Traditionally portrayed as a slender elderly man, he is believed to come to slaves who have been abused and overworked and offer them the kind mercy of death.
Ligreus is an old Wood Elf goddess still worshipped in the Roundwards side of the Empire. One of the more violent of the Gods of the Slaves, she watches over the silent hunter, and is usually associated with patience, solitude and stealth {Domains: Strength, Trickery, Twilight}. Cutting a tall, athletic figure, she wears a tigerskin cloak that allows her to assume the form of a tigress at will.
Gionedes is either the brother or brother in law to Menedes, and occasionally son of Benedite, and is the God of honest work, skill and tradesmen {Domains: Forge, Mind, Ambition}. Worshippers of Gionedes believe that he wishes them to improve their own lot in life, and many slave revolutionaries interpret this as breaking their shackles and overthrowing their masters. However, more peaceful followers view this to mean they should work within their means and perform well for their masters. Gionedes is often shown as resembling a dwarf, with a great black beard and stout physique.
Venopea is considered a wicked figure in many tales, but she has a strong worship base in Jisvicacea and Balisibad. Similar to Gionedes, she is associated with bettering oneself and potentially striving for freedom, but unlike Gionedes, this is done largely through forbidden knowledge and cunning instead of honest work {Domains: Knowledge, Trickery, Arcana}. She is usually shown as being a youthful woman, with dark hair and red or flaming eyes.
Socthys is often thought to be a more primitive or ancient form of the Jeshwa myth, worshipped primarily in Balsifir and Roundwards Baleutia. Compared to Jeshwa, Socthys is a more savage and less human figure, depicted as much more fishlike, with fins and pallid grey skin. He traditionally carries a net and boarding axe, though some depictions conflate this with the trident of the master's god. He is associated with storms, ferocity, nature and a certain might makes right mentality that leads him to be a common God of pirates and brigands {Domains: Tempest, Nature, Blood}.
Sarhai the Water Bearer is largely worshiped in Jibar. She is revered for providing the three lakes to the peoples of Apjibar, as well as empowering her most dedicated servants, the Water Bearers. She is usually depicted as a beautiful woman is simple clothes or naked, with a pail of water, and is associated with water, life, rain and hope {Domains: Life, Tempest, Peace}.
