Pantheon Mondays: Kamah, Kiree

Kamah        

Greater God of Love                                                                                                                    

Chaotic

Portfolio: Love, Lust

Kamah's Clerics are all regular Clerics as described in the Player's handbook. His holy symbol is three entwined rings worn on a chain.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Kamah is very invested in the concept of concord, and, like Wyvan, is often represented in small towns and big cities by traveling priests. These priests tend to focus on getting people married and ending wars. It is rumored there exists a top secret collection of lovemaking techniques known to Kamah’s priests, but no one has found them. Note that Kamah, as a chaotic god, is generally more interested in seeing more people having sex and falling in love than in having kids or families. This is one reason why he has so few temples, as those temples would rapidly become little more than brothels and orgies.

Specialty Priests of Kiree inhabit savage and hot places, and wander through them with impunity, friends to the animals and fed by the forests. Her holy symbol is the frond of a fern. Kiree also has druids. Both druids and specialty priests tend to gather in groups no larger than three.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Kiree’s followers tend to live in uninhabited places, so they have little contact with outsiders.

Pantheon Mondays: Horae, Itat, Jasia

Horae

Portfolio: Time, aging, Elves, patience, Alchemy, Magic

Horae’s clerics are regular clerics, he has no specialty priests. His Holy symbol is an eye.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Horae tends to be worshipped at the fringes of society, in small groups and secret temples in the deep deserts and dark jungles. As such, his clerics have no real contact outside of their own orders.

Itat, Lord of the Silver Blade

Specialty Priests of Itat call themselves The Blades, and about 50% of them are Paladins, not Thief-Clerics like those above. Itat embraces Thieves that work for justice. His followers bear highly polished swords, but it is a very unstructured religion, with no rank. The Holy Symbol of Itat is an inscription on the follower's sword, which is often silver.  In many towns, Itat's priests may draw swords even though it would be illegal for others.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Itat’s dual nature as a god of justice and thieves makes his religion hard for some more justice-oriented faiths to accept. Other than that, his followers only have conflicts based on alignment. 

Jasia

Portfolio: Mages and their protection

Jasia’s faith has been dead for a thousand years, she has no living priests at all.
