Gods and church branches - overview

Religions on Gemnos

There are two distinct religions on Gemnos. Two pantheons if you will.

One pantheon is comprised of Cyric, Bane and Bahamut, along with their angels and demons. It is called the new pantheon. The other pantheon is comprised of the Twins and all their aspects, or children depending on which of the several branches of the church you lean towards. It is called the old pantheon.

The new pantheon
There are three gods. One good (Bahamut), one evil (Bane) and one neutral (Cyric). Each god is all-powerful and claims absolute dominion over their outer-planar domain. Bahamut rules Heaven, Bane rules Hell and Cyric rules the Underworld.

They are called the new pantheon or the new gods, simply because worship of Bane, Cyric and Bahamut started much later than worship of the Twins.

All three gods and churches acknowledge the Twins, Nira, Torax, Mask, Torm, Mystra, Tempus, Umberlee, Erathis, The Raven Queen, Pelor, Auril, Kossuth, Shar and Lathander as gods although they are barely acknowledged as competition. They are part of an old and soon to be forgotten religion.

The old pantheon
The old pantheon is itself divided into three branches. 

The Church of the Twins does not acknowledge Bane, Bahamut and Cyric as gods. If pressed, a priest of the Twins will classify them as powerful angels, outer-planar beings with tremendous power. The Church further claims that Nira and Torax as well as Mask, Torm, Mystra, Tempus, Umberlee, Erathis, The Raven Queen, Pelor, Auril, Kossuth, Shar and Lathander are just facets of the Twins, a humanization of something too big for most mortals to understand.

The Church of Nira and Torax claim that they the twin children of the Twins. It agrees with the Church of the Twins on Bane, Bahamut and Cyric, saying they are merely powerful angels, with no power over souls, save over those who sell their soul or otherwise make a bargain with the angels or demons. They also claim that Mask, Torm, Mystra, Tempus, Umberlee, Erathis, The Raven Queen, Pelor, Auril, Kossuth, Shar and Lathander are just facets of themselves, with Mask, Mystra, Erathis, The Raven Queen, Auril and Shar being facets of Torax, while Torm, Tempus, Umberlee, Pelor, Kossuth and Lathander are facets of Nira.

Logically, the respective churches of Mask, Torm, Mystra, Tempus, Umberlee, Erathis, The Raven Queen, Pelor, Auril, Kossuth, Shar and Lathander claim they are the grand-children of the Twins, the children of Nira and Torax, and gods in their own right. Called “The Fourteen” by the common man, they, just like the rest of the family, do not acknowledge the new pantheon as anything but powerful out-planar creatures. As far as not being recognized as gods by their own “family”, the official stance is merely that it is a claim made by the older religions because they (the Fourteen) are the future of Gemnos, while the Twins, Nira and Torax are the past.

Cyric, the Prince of Shadows

The other gods? I laugh at them. They may think they have power, but in reality, they only have what I give them. I rule the Underworld and all souls pass through me.

-Cyric to an anonymous devil. 

Cyric
Neutral (evil)
Cyric is like Bahamut and Bane not an aspect of the Twins. What he is or was has been long forgotten, but nowadays he is the god of death and the dead. He rules the Underworld and, at least according to his clergy, where the souls of all who die go afterwards.

- The Origin of Bahamut, by various unknown authors

• The Platinum Knights are a militant fraction that believe that in order for the will of Bahamut to spread throughout the world, evil must be purged from Gemnos.
• The Followers of the One God is the last and newest fraction. They believe fervently that Bahamut is not only the only god worth worshiping, he is literally the only god. All other gods are demons in disguise, and those who worship them are either deluded and must repent or die.

They believe that their mandate to lead is god-given and that only humans should exist. All other races should be exterminated. They are banned from most civilized areas, but run the Ebon Empire.

Torm the Silent

We can not have chaos. With chaos, everything stops, therefore, chaos must be fought at all costs, on all fronts. I rather put a city that has fallen into chaos  to the sword, than risk that is contaminates other cities of the Empire.
-High Imprecator Julius Maccra, Year 4298

Torm the Silent
Lawful

Torm is the god of protection and also of honor, justice, practicality and paladins. His clerics (and paladins) are often used as judges and otherwise to settle disputes. While his clerics aren't silent, they are however usually reserved and prone to think (alot) before talking. Some say that is because they are dim, but most know it is because they tend to make sure they have considered all sides of the matter before they speak or act.

Today, they still exist in small cells. The Crusaders believe falsehoods and lies are destroying the world and that those who wield them as weapons need to be killed. Obviously they do not play well with the church of Mask, amongst others.

From the depths of her Ice Palace, secluded and hidden away from the eyes of men, most people think the Frostmaiden rules both hearts and lives of all on Gemnos. This is however a lie. Auril is a lie and all that follow her will one day see the truth.

Chaotic

Lathander is the god of Light, Rebirth, Beauty, Dawn, Truth and Spring. Mostly depicted as a black man with a full beard and a halo, Lathander is the bringer of Light in Gemnos.

Just as it is with many other gods, the interpretations of the god's cryptic words has created several fractions amongst the church. The most common faction are just strongly opposed to undead. They dedicate their life to the eradication of all things undead. When they do not do that, they bless newborns, prepare new parents for what will come and also often act as judges. There is another fraction called the Order of Holy Light, that believe that man should never be called back from the dead, so they never raise the dead. And while paladins are very common amongst both factions, there is also a paladin-only faction, that have taken the words of Lathander to the extreme. The Will of Lathander, as they call themselves, believe that getting raised is an affront to their god, and on top of fighting undead, they also hunt those who have been raised by the dead. Of course, the Church of Lathander denies that such a faction even exists. But rumors persist.

The Twins

Neutral

The Twins are the beginning and the end. The twin entity covers all aspects of life from life to death. Because of the broadness of the portfolio, the focus of individual churches can sometimes (often) differ a lot.

Because of their place in the history of Gemnos, it is not uncommon for followers of the Twins to see themselves as leaders of communities or advisors to those who lead. "For Gemnos" is a common saying amongst it's clergy.
