In establishing my setting the story of the three goddesses was a central element to the idea of the setting. The gods outside of those three were largely intended to reflect elements of the 4E pantheons and certain other things I specifically wanted in the setting. Corellon, Moradin and Bane were left unchanged as they have a lot of established lore in DnD materials and leaving them largely unchanged makes it easy to tap into that lore for older players. Though obviously if I wanted to publish (commercially) the setting their names would have to change.
The world was at first created by the three goddesses Anyar, Mairuill and Callach. Over time they were joined by their children and other gods each contributing different things to the world. In time Callach was consumed by jealousy and started the God’s War which ultimately ended with her being chained in the depths of the Abyss, a bondage her most loyal servants still seek to free her from.
These are the gods that are most commonly worshipped in civilised areas, and are the available options for player characters to choose from for their character’s to worship.
