3. The Gods

Most gods are members of one pantheon. Unaffiliated gods are grouped in to the neutral pantheon. Each pantheon opposes the opposite patheon and is allied to the adjacent pantheons. Temples often have a patron diety, but the temples are still usually built to accomodate the pantheon. Temples will usually have shrines to the gods of the allied pantheons, and almost always shrines to the associated gods of the patron. Temples to a patron (and pantheon, allies, and associates) can usually support all the needs of the local society.

For example, most temples to Duba Shakir and the Moon Pantheon would also have at least shrines to all Moon, Air, and Water pantheons. There would probably also be shrines all all the gods associated with Duba Shakir (including important or local heroes, etc.) This temple to Duba Shakir could be the main temple for the people in an entire area and possibly be the main temple for an entire region. Most everyone (over 90%) of the people in the region should be able to get any of their needs met by worship at this temple.

In theory, all the key needs of a society are met in any three allied pantheons. For example key powers or abilities represented in the Moon pantheon would only be matched in the Darkness pantheon. Sometimes counter powers are located in the allies of the opposed pantheon. For example, Moon powers could be countered or matched by Darkness powers or partially by both Earth and Fire. A god each pantheon opposes one of the gods of Void pantheon and basically the rest of that pantheon does not like that Void pantheon god either.
