The Neteru

These four Deities, known collectively as The Neteru, are rarely worshipped directly because they are thought to be far too distantly removed from their individual creations to be moved to act on their behalf.

From The Neteru emerge the Local Gods. These Local Gods are personifications of cosmic principles, laws, and forces of human nature that pervade the whole universe; they are the means by which The Neteru sustain their creations and manifest themselves. Of these nearly infinite forms, the ones most familiar to Zarthurians have been included here. The most important of these Local Gods are The Madjai.
