The Blessed Gods

Ages ago, a pure and good entity known as All-Mother and her dark suitor, the Void, danced through the space between universes. The two spawned twenty children, ten of the Mother and ten of the Void. All-Mother loved all of their children and - recognizing that the Void was a dark entity of chaos, corruption, and change - hid them in the realm of Lorithandar. A small, nearly-inaccessible pocket universe inhabited solely by dragons and protected by the Dragon Gods that held it together, it was the ideal place to protect them from the Void's influence.

As Her Children came into their own, they discovered the existence of places of power called Nexuses, or Domains, which when possessed would grant power over a specific aspect of reality. The twenty Children warred amongst themselves over these Domains and, eventually, the “pantheon” settled into ten Blessed Gods, disregarding those who had been killed or driven away. The remaining ten agreed to share power over many of the domains to some extent, but each would retain possession of a Domain that was exclusively theirs. The only exception to this was the Twins, who chose share control of Storms.

The general consensus of mortal races regarding the Blessed Gods is that their purpose is to maintain the balance and protect the mortal races, though that’s not quite accurate. Many of the Blessed Gods have aspirations of their own and pursue their own agendas. There have been many changes to the pantheon over the millennia, and the pantheon currently consists of the following, listed from eldest to youngest.
