Deities of the old Empire of Abessai

The Abessainan Pantheon

Vodun

In addition to the formal worship of the various Abessai deities, many pay homage to supernatural personifications of humanoid nature and figures of legend called the Loa. These Loa preside over numerous mortal matters beneath the gods themselves (though there is some argument and volumes of discussion among theologians as to the nature this relationship and how the Loa came to be) and often act as indirect agents or emissaries sympathetic to the causes within the divinities' portfolios. Examples include Ayida, Adjasou, Agassu, Agau, Sogbo, Agwe, Ayezan, Bakulu, Brise, Congo, Dinclusin, Dumballah, Erzulie, Ghede, Gran Boa, Ibo Lele, Kalfu, Krabinay, Lemba, Linglessu, Linto, Marasa, Bwa-chech, and numerous others.

The Osirian Pantheon

The Osirian gods are represent the old powers of the deserts, and their values reflect the hardship of carving out a life in harsh surroundings. They are the patrons of those that dwell beneath the burning sun in the places where water is scarce, and are still fervently worshipped by the descendants of the oldest peoples that dwelled outside the Abessai empire's borders and that refused to assimilate.
