Samutor (dead)

Samutor was the god of motion. Capable of flight and incredible speed, he was defeated by the sorcerer Fardar, who froze him in place with the aid of twenty underling wizards.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Domains: Travel, Air

Elefrin (missing)

Nothing is known about the fate of Elefrin, except that she disappears from the histories after the death of Samutor. Many arcane theorists believe that it is Elefrin who serves to connect humans with the divine, holding open a partial portal between planes through which magical energy can pass.

Alignment: Lawful Good

Domain: Magic

The Entropic Lords

There are two "Entropic Lords" who represent the natural tendency of the universe to revert to a state of structureless complexity. The two lords are not anthropomorphic beings like the 20 deities. Rather, the lords are personifications of base energies underlying the universe. These energies can be tapped, but they are not traditionally sentient.

Inanus

Represents the breakdown of order in the mind and spirit.

Alignment: Chaotic

Domain: Madness

Oblitus

Represents the breakdown of order in physical objects and substances.

Alignment: Chaotic

Domain: Destruction

The Dark Ones

Although the "Entropic Lords" are dangerous in that they threaten the stability of the universe, they are not consciously malicious.

By contrast, their are deities that oppose the Twenty, and who seek to reshape entire worlds into twisted shrines of depravity. Common Karthican theology argues that there is but one core evil, Gorgator, who manifests in different aspects.

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Domain: Death

"Heglor" (Gorgator the Cruel)

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Domain: Evil
