002 divine pantheons hierarchy of power

II. The Divine Pantheons: A Hierarchy of Power

This is the in-universe "who's who" of divine power.

  • Tier 1: The Creator God (Transcendent):
  • Bathala: The Supreme Mind. The "Dreamer." He is the source of all, but does not interfere. He is the concept of creation.
  • Tier 2: The Primordial Gods (The Architects):
  • Kaptan (Sky): Slumbers in the Sky Kingdom, Amihan. His passive aura is what keeps the Sky Isles safe.
  • Maguayan (Sea): Slumbers in the Sea Kingdom, Sinaya. His passive aura is what keeps the Sea Kingdoms safe.
  • Tier 3: The Trapped Gods (The World Itself):
  • Licalibutan (Earth): His body is the game world. His "stirring" in his sleep causes earthquakes.
  • Liadlao (Sun), Libulan (Moon), Lisuga (Stars): They are no longer conscious entities, but the physical, celestial bodies.
  • Tier 4: The Patron Gods (Ascended Diwata):
  • These are not Primordials. They are the most powerful Diwata (nature spirits) who, through eons of mortal worship, ascended to godhood. They are the "Patrons" of the player classes.
  • Apolaki (Sun/War): Patron of the Bayani. (Source 8.1)
  • Haliya (Moon/Hunt): Patron of the Mangkukulam, chief adversary of Bakunawa. (Source 4.1)
  • Aman Sinaya (Bounty/Sea): Patron of the Manggagamot and Haulers. (Source 2.2)
  • Kan-Laon (Volcano/Fire): Patron of the Mangkukulam.
  • Sitan (Underworld): Patron of shadow-magic. (Source 8.1)
  • Tier 5: The Void Pantheon (The Enemy):
  • Ulilang Kaluluwa: The "Slain Father." The source of the Void.
  • Bakunawa: The "Primal Hunger." The main antagonist. She is a brute-force fanatic.
  • Oryol: The "Cunning Mind." The secondary antagonist. She is a treacherous, manipulative schemer who despises her sister's artless "smash-and-grab" plan.
