A Quest of Queens—Lore

The Rasan Pantheon

To name them is to give them power, yet to ignore them is folly. The gods of Asag wait in shadow; their lust is as inevitable as dusk falling.

—Stahl the Wanderer

The Rasan Pantheon is a collection of ancient deities revered by the children of Asag and their spiritual descendants. These Second-Order gods are lesser aspects of Asag, the primordial deity of chaos and destruction. They serve as fragments of Asag's essence, embodying its darker influences. Among these, Baranthrum, the demon god of destruction, is the most prominent. He serves as a bridge between Asag and its other manifestations, his power fragmented into a series of terrifying forms.

Aspects of Asag

  • Abakinatos, the God of Woe: A deity of sorrow and misfortune, Abakinatos thrives on hopelessness and despair. Worship of this god often involves rituals of lamentation and self-sacrifice, as his followers believe suffering curries his favor.
  • Alronya, the Goddess of Night: The embodiment of night and the dying, Alronya appears to her worshippers as a beautiful corpse under the light of the moon and stars. She offers solace to those who seek enlightenment in the liminal space between life and death.
  • Uleginon, the God of Shadow: An expansive colossus of darkness and smoke, Uleginon represents the dark side of men as an extension of their basest impulses. He is often invoked in orgiastic rituals to derive power from the darkest depths of one's ego.

Aspects of Baranthrum

  • Helminth, the God of Worms: Associated with decay and transformation, Helminth feeds on death and rebirth, embodying the cyclical nature of destruction. His worshippers often engage in necromantic practices, seeing rot as a form of divine renewal.
  • Dys, the God of Greed: The insatiable hunger of Dys fuels material obsession and avarice. He thrives in corruption and is revered by those who seek wealth and power at any cost, such as paranoid royals and green-eyed merchants.
  • Nefilim, the God of Sleep: A strange and distant deity, Nefilim governs dreams and the liminal space between consciousness and oblivion. Worship of Nefilim often involves trance-like rituals, as followers seek visions and communion in the realm of dreams.

The Rasan Pantheon thrives on fear, greed, and despair, drawing strength from the mortals they manipulate. Their worship is particularly prevalent in the Shadowvale and the Dune Sea of Mamara, where their influence is most deeply rooted.
