Pantheon: Sumerian Pantheon
And here we have the Sumerian pantheon from On Hallowed Ground.
Enlil
Greater deity
Alignment: Neutral Good
Symbol: pickaxe
Home plane: Elysium
Portfolio: air, war
Domain (-30%): air spells, protection and warning spells
Worshipers: warriors, nobles
Enlil is the ruler of the Sumerian pantheon, son of Nammu, the sea. Enlil could be said to be the very breath mortals draw into their lungs. As a deity of war, Enlil is keenly interested in what his worshipers are doing.
Inanna
Greater deity
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Symbol: shepherd’s staff
Home plane: Baator
Portfolio: love, war
Domain (-30%): fire spells, protection and warning spells
Worshipers: warriors
Inanna is a fickle goddess. Though she followes laws she herself has established, she does not expect the same of lovers or warriors – all’s fair in love and war. Once the wife on Enlil, she’s now been set aside and she seethes under his rule.
Ki
Greater deity
Alignment: Neutral
Symbol: iris
Home plane: Elysium
Portfolio: nature
Domain (-20%): animal spells, plant spells, water spells
Worshipers: druids, farmers, barbarians
Ki is the goddess of nature that maintains the relationships between the Sumerian deities and other deities of earth. With the death of Enki, Ki has been slowly taking on the responsibilities of river and water. Ki is the most barbaric deity of the pantheon. She doesn’t hold with mortal civilizations – at least, not at the expense of nature – but she goes along with her fellows to keep the peace. She welcomes those who reject the trappings of buildings and society.
Nanna-Sin
Lesser deity
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Symbol: black axe over moon
Home plane: Elysium
Portfolio: the moon
Domain (-30%): darkness spells, knowledge spells
Worshipers: scholars, stargazers, spies
Nanna-Sin is the god of the moon. Enlil keeps him from interacting too directly with mortals. Nanna-Sin is known to spy on the gods of the other pantheons, and he encourages his followers to do the same.
Nin-Hursag
Lesser deity
Alignment: Neutral
Symbol: blue-white diamond
Home plane: Elysium
Portfolio: earth
Domain (-40%): earth spells
Worshipers: druids, architects
The former wife of Enki, Nin-Hursag is said to have been in mourning for years.
Utu
Greater deity
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Symbol: sun disc
Home plane: Arborea
Portfolio: the sun
Domain (-30%): light and darkness spells, healing spells
Worshipers: druids, farmers, commoners
Utu is the god of the sun.
