Dark Elven Pantheon



The Dark Elven Pantheon also known as "The Dark Temple" or "The Way of the Beetle" is a religion practiced by the Dark Elves of Arad-qur. All but one of its gods are female, and the Temple is dominated by female priests, similar to the Dark Elven military.

Gods and Saints
The Dark Elven Pantheon is ruled over by the gods it follows, however it also pays heavy respect to Saints, mortals who are immortalized by their deeds, words, or beliefs.

Gods

 * Phobiahnezar - Genderless God of fear, rebellion, freedom, and darkness. While not considered the chief of the pantheon, Phobiahnezar is generally considered the most important deity. They are aligned with chaos.
 * Gromurdona - Goddess of death, necromancy, mourning, and tombs. Aligned with order.
 * Igzenai - Goddess of fire, wrath, volcanoes, ash, and power. Aligned with chaos.
 * Tisirii - Goddess of wisdom, study, and magic. Aligned with chaos.
 * Trinignis - Goddess of alchemy, survival, and perseverance. Aligned with chaos.

The Scarab
The Scarab is a highly important symbol to the Dark Elves. It is a species of Dung Beetle that collects a ball of dung, and then either eats it or burries it underground and lays an egg within it, then repeats the process as many times as possible.

The Dark Elves believe this creature is an omen, a sign from the gods that only the most attentive to the foulest of things would notice. They believe the Scarab mimics the path their world is on, believing it to merely be a pile of dung with the egg of a god inside.
