The Minor Deities

The minor deities or secondar deities do not have as much power as their major brethren, but they still enact a lot of influence on the world. They have more specific duties and a less broad scope than the major deities, however what they do, they do well and have complete power over.

The minor deities have very specific areas they focus on. Rather than broad concepts like "war" they focus instead on smaller areas of influence. However, it should not be mistaken that this means they have no influence on the world of Avern. They often carry heavy influence in small circles, and sometimes spawn cult-like followings.

The secondary deities were the third grouping of gods born to the Phoenix of Light and Phoenix of Dark. Once again, they were born in pairs, with their equal and opposite. They are somewhat lesser in scope than the primary gods, their focus tends to be on some specific area, but even that specific area can be very broad. They are born in opposition, but some of the pairs are Neutral in their outlook, such as Joryn and Soryn. These two don’t necessarily engage in fighting with each other, they are simply opposite aspects of the world. Others, such as Luan and Ravera, are in constant contention with each other. They all have a specific purpose that could be in another god’s domain, but rather than other, they have been born to assume the powers over that area. There is a still a lot of debate among their worshippers as to whether they are as powerful as the primary deities. The truth is that they are just as powerful, they are just created for an even more specific purpose as the primary deities. Like the primary deities there are monotheists and polytheists. There are those that choose to worship the secondary deities as a whole pantheon, and those that choose to worship all the deities together. The secondary deities seem to not prefer chaos or order at all, unlike the primary deities.
