Ind Greater Deities


 * “I myself have ever only half-seen one, at thetemple Rang Aaang Sahck. I heard it more than I saw it, thundering through the thickets and swinging its massive club at the daemon apesdefiling its temple sanctuary. It bellowed prayersand litanies in its deep baritone voice, while it smote the foul simians.“

The Greater Deities are creatures of legend, the most powerful beings in the Kingdoms of Ind, each a smaller God in themselves. They are said to be the gods’ direct interveners into the real world, a manifestation of their selves, sent to spread their teachings and protect the people in their name.There are four known Greater Deities, but some say there are more, some never seen, and some that have not yet appeared in the real world. Regardless,the four great ones are the Brahman, the Vishun, the Ganeshan and the Shivite. It is said that to kill a Greater Deity is a great affront to the gods and many would-be temple raiders rather flee than to risk eternal torment at the hand of an angry god

The Brahman is the Creator, he who brings life and heals that which was destroyed. He is seen a benevolent Deity who helps the people in need.Whomever falls in battle can be raised to fight again, and the most grievous of wounds can be healed in an instant thanks to his blessing.

The Vishnun is the Protector, he who casts a shield upon the weak, and smites the unbelievers. Those who wish harm upon his people shall find themselves stopped by an invisible barrier surrounding them.

The Ganeshan is the Deity of Fortune, he who brings luck and joy to the people who worship him.He blesses those who are faithful, making their aim true in the heat of battle, and gives them good fortune whenever they might need it.

The Shivite is the most terrifying of the Deities. He is the Destroyer, and through him, the warriors of Ind becomes savage beasts in battle, tearing at their foes with brutal savagery.
