The Celeset

The 'river of stars' in Mallish, the Celeset (sometimes the Belt of the Celeset) refers to the pantheon of twelve gods worshipped across Gask, Mallon, and Weslee.

Gods
The gods of the Celeset are acknowledged and respected to different degrees depending on your location. They include:


 * Arawn


 * Taim


 * Barrod


 * Lia


 * Carvahal


 * Silidus


 * Gashen


 * Mennok


 * Simm


 * Urt


 * Phannon


 * Jorus

Regional Differences
While extremely similar in their presentations of the lesser gods, the Mallish- specifically Taim's priesthood based in Mallon- vilify Arawn and anything relating to him, including the nether, denouncing them as profane or outright evil. Depending on the century, nethermancers and followers of Arawn have been driven out or murdered. The Second and Third Scours were both holy wars in part (the other part was Mallish imperialism). While Gask's version of creation and the gift of fire would place Arawn at the head of the Celeset, Mallon instead venerates Taim foremost, as the Father of Time and Judgement. Per the Cycle of Arawn, Arawn guarded the polefire at the north star and handed the fire off to his half-brother Carvahal, who in turn gave it to Eric the Draconat, but not before walling Arawn up behind the stars in order to steal the credit. Mallon's hostility towards all things Arawn or nether related has driven many north to Gask, among them two of the most in/famous nethermancer of the last century, Callimandicus and Dante Galand.

Weslee's version of the Celeset far more closely resembles the Gaskan variant. The largest difference is their addition of a thirteenth god, Jeren, Arawn's daughter. Weslean religion refers to their gods as the Thirteen Lords of the Broken Circle, and use the Cycle of Jeren instead of the Cycle of Arawn. The two books are similar, but there are many sections of Jeren that aren't included in Arawn and vice versa. The Divergence of the two Cycles dates to about 1000 years pre-series, with the last use of Cellen and the raising of the Wodun Mountains.
