The Place of the Gods in Therafim
Ruling Gods of Therafim
These are the gods who govern the fundamental aspects of Therafim's workings. Matra is the incarnation of nature itself and all things living, as well as the defender and nurturer of all that lives on Therafim. Umnos is Matra's male counterpart, the defender of portals and boundaries, including the greatest boundaries of all: between time and space, and life and death. The Morrigan is the embodiment of the motivating force that drives all things on Therafim, the very force of conflict itself, and the will to survive and grow strong from that conflict. In the grand scheme of existence on Therafim, Matra provides life, Umnos provides definition, and the Morrigan provides the force for change and growth.

Dragon Gods
The gods of the dragons are also the gods of most creatures on Therafim, making them the deities of first choice for most worshipers of the gods of Therafim, especially by humans. Io, Bahamut, and Tiamat are also the creator deities of Therafim, having that special place in the pantheon of Therafim's deities reserved only for deities that took part in forming a world and all that lives on it. The continuing struggle between Bahamut and Tiamat also mirrors the continuing struggle of good and evil still taking place on Therafim.

Mortalborn and Titanborn Gods
These are gods who were chosen from the most worthy of the primordial titans, or else from similarly worthy mortals, and elevated to deific status by the powers that be. While the dragon gods have more power and connections in eternal spheres than these deities, the mortalborn and titanborn gods have a deeper and more personal attachment to their worshipers, especially the racial deities. While draconic deities are less likely to actively intercede in the normal affairs of mortals, these deities are very likely to do so indeed, and have been known at times to develop quite close and even personal attachments to especially faithful worshipers.

Forbidden Gods (Require approval for worship)
These are the gods of madness, despair, destruction, and doom. They are utterly irredeemable beings of immense power whose very purpose is to bring about the downfall of all creation, though their exact methods and motivations vary. While it can be quite tempting to worship them for the quick power and instant gratification that they offer, only those completely blinded by these temptations, the most destructively mad, or the unregenerately nihilistic become their most devout servants in their wicked acts.
