To expand a little while still not answering directly: This is not a setting where faith makes the gods go vroom, or where all gods are equal in scope and interests. Broadly, there is a source of all things referred to by some NPCs simply as the Divine or the One, and the gods are either deeply connected to it or spring bodily from it. Some pantheons are more specific than others in what they give and who they influence, whether by their interests or by innate limitations. In writing terms, it's exactly that we want the different pantheons to fill different roles instead of being a giant confusion of mechanically and conceptually interchangeable gods (we've already got over 40 that give favors, mind). It's also absolutely correct we want to describe eastern Kermoria as one that has a long standing religious hegemony that has only in the past century or so come to serious contention by competing belief systems. -Armifer "Perinthia's astronomers are faced with a difficult choice. Either they must admit that all their calculations were wrong ... or else they must reveal that the order of the gods is reflected exactly in the city of monsters." - Italo Calvino
