Pantheon of the Southlands

Design Background: This pantheon draws upon the Popul Vuh, Mayan and Aztec mythology, as well as the AD&D 1st edition Deities & Demigods. 

The Pantheon of the Southlands is a family of gods that has been growing since the creation.  The most ancient and primal of these deities have always been tied to the creation and to nature (fire, rain, earth, nature, etc.).  It is a true pantheon, with numerous relationships between the deities. There are husbands, wives, children, brothers, sisters, etc.  After millennia, the original primal deities were joined by astral divinities.  Traveling from the stars to the Southlands, these astral divinities or "star demons" usurped the popularity of the primal gods and now lead the pantheon.  There are numerous minor (and undetailed) members of the pantheon.  The most important members of the pantheon are detailed here:
