THE SOVEREIGN HOST
The Sovereign Host is the only traditional 'Good' pantheon within the Ebberon game world. Unlike most other deities in other Dungeons & Dragons settings, the Sovereign Host are removed from the world, rarely interacting with the mortals within. While they still provide spells for their clergy, many question whether or not they actually exist, as their power could come from another source. The Sovereign Host's pantheon originally contained thirteen different gods, but four of them were cast out during the Schism. These four gods joined with two others--The Shadow & The Traveler to form the Dark Six. The remaining nine members of the Sovereign Host are Arawi, Aureon, Balinor, Boldrei, Dol Arrah, Dol Dorn, Kol Korran, Olladra & Onatar.
Balinor
Balinor is the neutral god of the hunt. He embodies nature, and is a very traditional nature deity. Rangers, druids and barbarians revere him, as they tend to be within the nature Balinor embodies most often. He is the brother of Arawai and the Devourer. When he is depicted, he is usually portrayed as a burly human with a battleaxe.
Boldrei
Boldrei is the lawful good goddess of the home. She presides over personal homes, communities and governments. Marriges in Ebberon are done in her name (among the Host's faithful). She is seen as a protector of society, constantly fighting back against the savage wilds so that common folk may live peaceful lives. She is the wife of Aureon, but has no other relations among the gods.
Dol Arrah
Dol Arrah is the lawful good goddess of the sun and sacrifice. She is seen as light, not just in the physical sense but the 'light' that is the good within mortal's souls. She is seen as one of the more important members of the Sovereign Host (even though officially, all of the host are considered equal). She is the patron deitiy of paladins and diplomats, and teaches that light should be spread to all dark places. She is the sister of Dol Dorn and the Mockery.
Dol Dorn
Dol Dorn is the chaotic good god of battle and strength. He is unique among the host in that he has a chaotic nature, which results from his embodiment of conflict between good and evil. He is the patron deity of those who fight to make a living, such as gladiators. He is responcible for purging what would become the Dark Six from the Host. When the Sovereign Host goes to battle, Dol Dorn is at its head.
Aureon
Aureon is the lawful neutral god of law & lore. He is the patron deity of wizards and the god of magic. His wisdom is what is commonly thought to guide the Sovereign Host (though he is not considered their leader). Aureon is the brother of Onatar and husband of Boldrei. He in a way is also the father of the Shadow, for the Shadow was created when Aureon bound all of the evil in his soul and magically banished it. It is said the world will end when the Shadow and Aureon rejoin.
Arawai
Arawai is the neutral good goddess of life & love. Her portfolio includes fetility, crops and birth, making her widely revered among farmers, rangers and druids. Because she is also the goddess of weather, she recieves a lot of worship from sailors, as well as passing lip service from the faithful when they desire good weather. She is the sister of Balinor and the Devourer, the latter of which raped her, causing her to give birth to the Fury.
Kol Korran
Kol Korran is the neutral god of wealth. He is the youngest member of the Sovereign Host, being the son of Olladra and Onatar. He is the patron deity of traders and merchants, but is also worshiped by rogues and thieves who also respect wealth--even if the way they obtain it is less than lawful. While Kol Korran is loyal to the host, he often plots ways to extort riches from his fellows while still remaining in the Host.
Olladra
Olladra is the neutral good goddess of good fortune. She is the wife of Onatar and mother of Kol Korran and the Keeper. She is often worshipped by bards, rogues, gamblers, or anybody whose life has a great deal of chance in it. Apart from being the mother of two deities, Olladra seems to keep mostly to herself (more so than most of the Host, anyway).
Onatar
Onatar is the neutral good god of the forge and of fire. He is the husband of Olladra, and father of both Kol Korran and the Keeper. His worshipers include craftsmen, artificers, dwarves and some warforged and wizards with an affinity for fire. Legend states that he is the one who first gave fire to the mortal races, and later the one who taught them to use tools and weapons.
