	'''Myrmoris''' {{Pronunciation\|mer-MORE-iss}} is a goddess of conflict, weapons, healing, and the dead. In the ~~Dwarven~~ pantheon the goddess takes on a rather protective form as the patron of guards who destroy those that threaten their towns and cities. She is a patient goddess who is willing to wait out her foes if necessary.		'''Myrmoris''' {{Pronunciation\|mer-MORE-iss}} is a goddess of conflict, weapons, healing, and the dead.

She is a patient goddess who is willing to wait out her foes if necessary.

	Myrmoris taught the first [[dwarf\|dwarves]] the importance of an active defense. One cannot rely only on being well-armored and fortified, as [[Tandlan]] teaches, but rather must actively seek out those who would cause grievous harm to your community and stop them before they can set such plans into motion. Soldiers, guards, and mercenaries often pray to Myrmoris, as do healers and herbalists.		Myrmoris taught the first [[dwarf\|dwarves]] the importance of an active defense.

	Followers of Mithrai generally eschew formal church structures. Temples to the goddess rarely officially affiliate with each other, though they generally maintain friendly if competitive relations. In places at war with each other, temples to Mithrai are often seen as neutral space where combatants can meet with the promise of protection.

	The goddess' holy text is ''[[The Battle of the Gods]]'', an epic poem narrating the tale of the fight between Lotan and the other gods at the beginning of creation.

	Though the details vary heavily by culture and location, Mithrai is usually depicted as a battle-scarred soldier. Dressed in practical armor with minimal ornamentation and typically carrying a greataxe, most renditions of Mithrai are rather mundane in nature, rarely evoking direct divine symbolism. She is often depicted in the company of an armored animal companion, usually a large cat native to the region but sometimes another creature instead.

	'''Markab''' {{Pronunciation\|MAR-cab}} is a goddess of conflict, weapons, tactics, and healing. She is widely seen as a deity one worships out of necessity, prayed to when threatened and in need of strength. Many call upon her in times of strife, but in other times she remains a relatively minor deity in the pantheon. As is common with interpretations of the goddess across pantheons, Markab and her clergy do not condone mindless violence. An attack against a defenseless foe is a slaughter, not a fight. Victory is hollow against an enemy who can no longer pose a challenge.		'''Markab''' {{Pronunciation\|MAR-cab}} is a goddess of conflict, weapons, tactics, and healing.

Temples and priests of Markab are widespread, but they almost never preach or proselytize, as her followers prefer to learn from direct experience in the form of challenges sent from their goddess.

	Markab is depicted as a scarred warrior, usually dressed in practical armor with minimal ornamentation and carrying some type of weapon, most often a spear. In some depictions her weapon is shown as broken, representing those that continue to fight for survival even when the odds are strongly against them. She is nearly always pictured in the company of an armored animal companion, usually either a large cat or a dinosaur.

	'''Uxtama''' {{Pronunciation\|ooks-TAH-mah}} the War-Horse is a goddess of war, strife, horses, and hunting. She is the patron of the [[targai]], the nomadic peoples of the [[Aban Steppe]]. Uxtama is ~~characterized as~~ simultaneously caring and capricious, favoring only the strong and willing to abandon on a whim those she formerly smiled upon, yet going to great lengths to benefit those who keep her satisfied. Targai warriors and mercenaries commonly give tributes to Uxtama, as do herders, city guards, and others whose lives require the need for martial training.

	Uxtama's holy animal is the horse, thought to be the goddess's first gift to the world. Originally granted to a tribe in the time before history, the horses escaped into the broader world after the tribe disappointed Uxtama through their complacency. In their role as holy animals, horses reflect the practicality of the goddess. They are venerated as gifts from the divine world, yet it is also completely acceptable to butcher them, eat their meat, and tan their hides, as nourishment and resources are no less important to maintaining one's strength than prayer.

	Maahes is the patron of many disparate groups. Soldiers and adventurers worship her for her martial domains, while healers and herbalists do so in hopes of receiving divine guidance in tending to their patients. Her followers vary widely in alignment, as the goddess will accept any whose actions do not further the interests of [[Apep]]. Maahes is also the patron of brewers, who often invoke the goddess to bless their alcohol.		Maahes is the patron of many disparate groups.

Maahes is also the patron of brewers, who often invoke the goddess to bless their alcohol.

	As the warrior of the gods, Maahes is one of [[Harakhte\|Harakhte's]] most important attendants in the battles against Apep. Though the other gods rely on Maahes heavily to keep the Serpent at bay, they simultaneously fear her. Maahes' bloodlust after each nightly encounter is so great that she sometimes refuses to stop fighting after Apep retreats at the coming of the dawn, turning her violent attentions to the other gods instead. Every time she does so they lead her to one of the Rivers of the Dead, to a waterway said to flow with endless beer. Her attentions diverted, Maahes drinks until she calms and rests, forgetting her battles for a time. This is said to be the only way Maahes can be placated.

	From their grand temple in [[Naqada]], a city in lower [[Khapesh]], the priesthood of Maahes provides guidance and instruction to the many other temples to the goddess that can be found across the kingdom. Temples to Maahes are extremely important places in most communities, as their clergy are expert healers renowned for their ability to treat nearly any injury or ailment through both magical and mundane means. Many travel Khapesh and abroad, serving as itinerant war clerics who solve the troubles of the places they venture, whether that come in the form of defeating local foes or tending to the sick.
