This Pantheon of Balance, often mistakenly called the Ostrian Pantheon after the Most High God of the Pantheon Ostran, consists of nine deities, they are: Aqualie (Water), Celenia (Healing), Diadria (Death), Kaldinsky (Knowledge), Loralis (Mystery), Ostran (Balance), Praxin (Aberration), Thr (Guardianship) and Tyre (Life). The link shared by the gods of this Pantheon is the concern to maintain a certain duality or a need for balance. Click the name above to see more on each individual god.

Aqualie is the goddess of water, aquatic life and the sea. She is one of the great elemental forces of nature but one of the most emotional of the gods, reacting to every situation differently, always remaining true to her nature and suporting the natural laws and balance of creation. As the goddess of water Aqualie controls the seasons, drawing away her life giving essence in the hotter months and making it plentiful in the colder, wetter ones. She is also a provider of life, the plentiful forms found within the sea, and the quencher of thirst and yet her waters can also hold dangerous preditors and drown the careless individual. One of the more perfect in balance between good and evil, unlike many other gods, law and chaos are of little concern to Aqualie as she conforms to creation at the same time as merging with it and wearing it away to make it conform to her desires. Aqualie is one of nature's balancing agents.

Celenia is called the Lady of Cure, but far more than only curing the sick and mending the physical body, she is the power behind all forms of restoration and preservation that allow all beings in Kyranath to be able to survive. Soothing emotions and returning people to their right mind and state of being, her power goes deep into the psyche of all thinking beings. Animal, sentient or monster all are under her care. Celenia is the god of healing in all of its forms, the spiritual healing of beauty, the social emotional nurturing of love, and the physical healing through  medicine. Because of this Celenia boasts one of the largest worshipping bodies in all of Kyranath. Nearly every home has an idol to Celenia to guard their hearth and door.

Diadria is the queen of the dead. But more than just the ruler of those that have crossed over, she is the force that assigns their allotted span of years walking the living world and guides them to their final destination at the time of their demise. A power that is both neutral and necessary but also cold and hungry, Diadria does not despise the living, for she knows they will one day be hers, but she cannot tolerate the way most mortals fight against the natural result of  life and the end of its cycle. She is the presence that hovers over the terminally ill laying in their bed or the wounded soldier whose life is spilling out on a battlefield. She waits patiently for their last breath to release their spirit and guides it on its way through the realms of the dead. All come to her to guide them to their final judgment and final destination in the afterlife. As such she is one of the most powerful of the gods, a primeval force that holds the final fate of everything in her cold and unforgiving hands.

Loralis is the keeper of the mysteries of the cosmos and protector of the Underdeep. Loralis is the queen of the deep, residing under the surface of Kyranath. She is the mistress of the creatures of the underrealm and watches over and protects its ecology. But this is only part of her influence as all things lost are known to her, all things hidden shine as beacons in the night to her discerning eyes. She is the darkness that obscures and the keeper of the secrets and dreams that are held in the depths of each being's mind. But Loralis reveals what she knows when she is ready and may not encourage exploration or investigation. The reasons behind her actions, the Mysteries are unattainable by most and rarely explained even if discovered. Even in their discovery there is that which is still hidden and so nothing can truly ever by completely known, only depths to the shadow reveled. It is Loralis that knows where the answers are kept, how to find them, when they are able to be discovered and what hey will be.

Balance, no other word can describe Ostran so well as this single world. If there were a perfect mix of chaos and law, good and evil, black and white then Ostran would be its embodiment. While all the other gods may take delight in the petty intrigues and squabbles with each other or the other pantheons, Ostran finds these interactions dull and lifeless. If it were up to him he would be quite content to spend eternity in a secluded grove of trees pondering the intricacies of life as a whole. Ostran cares not for power, all he does is watch and protect his domain, the untouchable balance that maintains Kyranath.

Aberration, alteration and adaptation are the key words in referencing Praxin. He is what goes wrong and causes the aberrations in the natural order and cycle of nature. Disrupting the normal flow and introducing permutations that bring fear and loathing to most people, Praxin also encourages all to adapt and accept the cruel jokes that life can play on a person. The ability to survive and make of yourself the best that you can be even when given limited resources to work with, is what Praxin strives to bring to every living thing. By changing, altering and even adding to the norm, Praxin hopes to cause nature to adapt through change and become stronger.

Thr is the first and original peak on Kyranath. He came into being to secure the lands together with his unyielding might. As part of his duties to his worshippers and the other gods he has guardianship over the world and protects it from anything that would destroy it. He is a steadfast defender of the greater balance of nature and the health of the environment.  Any that would exploit or attempt to make any part of the world uninhabitable is his enemy.  He has failed at times in the past and the world has seen great devastation.  Any brief distraction from his duty can allow a window for other evil or chaotic gods to cause harm to the world.  It is during one of these brief moments that the island continent of Sythal was destroyed and the Great Sea made tumultuous.
