New Gods of Thracia
This is going to be a living document that I'll add to as I need. Mostly it's just for my players, especially Nicole who's playing a Priest (Priest is a gender neutral noun when translated from Thracian, fight me), but also Miranda because she was curious.
Gods of Law
Mithras - Soldiers, Oaths, Justice
Notes: Mithras' cult is a mystery cult. He is widely worshiped, but not publicly as his rites are secret.
Dolichenus - Sky, Protection, Animal Husbandry/Cattle
Notes: Dolichenus is basically Zeus if Zeus were less of a shit canoe. Aside from anyone who owns livestock he is prayed to by those undertaking journeys who he protects.
Vesta - Hearth, Family, Virginity
Notes: Basically just Hestia. Hestia is already great.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hestia]
Kore - Spring, Growth, Bounty
Notes: One of the names of Persephone. Here she is the daughter of Cybele and Dolichenus, a happy goddess of plenty.
Neutral
Cybele - Mountain Mother, Beasts, Cycle of Life
Notes: Cybele is the queen of the gods and mother of many of them as well as the beasts of the earth. The mightier and smarter beasts such as Dragons, Sphinxes, Manticora, etc. are especially sacred to her. No man may be a priest of Cybele, if a man would become initiate he must first be castrated.
Hyperion - The Sun, Summer, Sight
Notes: boring, next.
Prometheus - Thought, Science, Deception
Notes: the liar and trickster who gave the people fire, both literally and the fire of curiosity and urge to discover.
Cabeiri - Iron, Blood, Smithing
Notes: Twin brothers, or perhaps one god with two faces. Live beneath the earth smelting and forging with the fires of creation. A mystery cult that for centuries held the secret of forging steel, eventually the secret was betrayed but most believe that Cabeiri's priests make the best smiths.
Despoina - Winter, Death, Judgement, Underworld
Notes: another name/aspect of Persephone, but here a different god. Born of Cybele by rape of her father Poseidon. Despoina means "mistress" or "despot" as her proper name is forbidden and known only to those fully initiated into her mysteries.
Chaos
Dionysus - Autumn, Wine, Festivity, Madness (ritual and otherwise)
Notes: crazed god of dance, parties, harvest, etc. Once died, but it didn't stick because there was more partying to do.
Poseidon - Seas, Horses, Earthquakes
Notes: King of the gods. True shitlord. Nobody likes him, everyone fears him, at least he made horses.
Trivia (Luna/Diana/Hecate) - Moon, Magic, Crossroads
Notes: all the gods are/make magic, but Trivia in each of her aspects governs it's use by mortals. There are in fact 3 moons because that's dope.
Mars - War, Bloodshed, Anger
Notes: mostly what it says on the tin. Possibly the father of Cabeiri, I'll have to decide if it ever comes up.
