Deities of Sindusa
The exalted scholars of Sindusa, the “Land of Light,” call it the birthplace of gods and mortals. A mighty, storied pantheon is variously described as residing in the Upper Heavens, the nearer Lower Heavens, and on or in the Earth. But every village also has its own local gods and spirits. Sindusan sages say worship of the gods of the Land of Light spread far over many years.
