Pantheon

The word has two uses. It is commonly used to refer to all gods that hold sway over a particular world, but scholars use it to describe a specific alliance of deities—often a divine family. Most such pantheons are helmed by a single god and populated by the deity’s Exarchs (examples include the Elven Seldarine, ruled by the deity Correllon Larethian and populated by his Exarchs; or Moradin’s Mordinsamman—the dwarven pantheon). There are however all-god pantheons such as the divine family that rules over the Astral Dominion known as Olympus or the Gods of the Dominion Asgard. Within a single world, more than one pantheon can be venerated by its people.
