Stars to the City
Ch.3 The New Pantheon
Welcome back you guys! Sorry for such the long wait! But here we are! We are here to take a look at the newest pantheon of Gods! There will be a few new gods, and many returning ones. I hope you all enjoy!
The Gods and Ravnica, Part 1
The Gods of Ravnica are far more personal with the general populace of the plane. Rather than live in Nyx, The Gods live in Temples specifically designed for them, usually these temples are located near the guildhall of the Guilds that worship them most, and often, they are designed for larger individuals. Since gods can change their form, most gods take on a form that can dwarfs most sentient life. Although they are still capable of taking on their full size, they usually keep a smaller size to accommodate the cramped spaces of Ravnica.
Nylea, God of Fury
Nylea hasn't changed all too much, what has truly changed is the intensity of her ways. Where once she was tolerant of the progress of Mortals, she is now volatile, truly taking to red mana's passion and anger, and she's directed that towards most of Ravnica's Cityscape, and has vowed to comepletely reclaim Ravnica in the name of Nature
Obviously, this goes really well with the Gruul mindset of destroy the Cities, reclaim for nature, and it was their worship of this once Hunt God that caused her to change. Her presence and influence on the Gruul has caused a new clan to erupt in the Gruul, the Nyleans. They are an almost all female group of warriors who use speed and hit and run tactics to defeat their enemies. Their leader, Hypolthia plans to one day challenge Borborgymos for the rite to lead the Gruul, but she is patient. She will wait until he is weak, and then she will strike, and take Gruul for herself and Nylea.
Nylea's home is in the Rubblebelt, in a hut made from bones and hide known as the Temple of Wilds.
Erebos, God of Wealth
On Ravnica, the afterlife is nonexistent. Whenever a mortal dies on Ravnica, they are either reincarnated or their souls are trapped as spirits. But this did not spell the end for the god of death. The Orzhovhave taken in interest in Erebos and his association with currencies. Some even whisper that he was the deity they once worshipped so long ago. As a result, Erebos has taken the title as the God of Wealth, choosing to give his blessing or curse people to never make any profits. His blessing promises people infinite wealth.
Teysa is taking advantage of the turmoil brought about by shifting focus from the Obzedat onto herself. While she is wary of Erebos, she hs come to agreement with him, giving him power and great influence in the guild, in exchange for working as his representative. Erebos stays in a grand treasury on a throne of solid gold, located in the Temple of Opulence
Rakdos, God of Torment
The properties Theros brought to Ravnica includes the ability to ascend to godhood. Since Rakdos' own guild somewhat revolved around somewhat worshipping him and his bloody ways, it lead to his ascension, his skin became illuminated like the night sky, and he grew in both stature, and his power soared. The members of the Cult of Rakdos worshipped him even more, and he celebrated in the typical Rakdos fashion, and he leveled a full city block, he and his guild running rampant, at least until Thassa came, and was able to force him back to Rix-Maadi, where he has chosen to stay.
Recently, Rakdos has cultivated a relationship with Mogis, a fellow god of bloodbaths, and the recently resurrected Xenagos. The three mad gods all share a love of chaos, blood, and parties. The three of them do not truly partake in leading the guild any longer, the duty falling to Exava. She has no problems with doing it, since that sually means overseeing the parties going on already. Rakdos, as well as his compatriots, all dwell within the Temple of Pleasurres, a massive arena like structure, once was Rix Maadi, is now an open top arena that goes nonstop.
