The Feathered Pantheon

The Feathered Pantheon - the Pantheon of the Sky - is the faith of the Tengu and Kenku, a worship of freedom and the elements of the sky. It comprises six deities, though they are most often spoken of as four.

History

Tengu spirituality places the skies and their gods at the center of creation and power. Each deity embodies an element or force of the sky, and the lessons they teach shape how the Tengu see themselves and the world - above all, their reverence for freedom.

Deities of the Pantheon

Name	Element	Domain
Gagana	Earth	Metal, mountains, protection
Ziz	Air	The sky, freedom, flight
The Storm Trio	Water	Rain, lightning, thunder
The Phoenix	Fire	Rebirth, freedom from death

Worship and Practices

The pantheon’s lessons run through every part of Tengu life: Gagana’s protection in their fierce defense of their homes against slavers, Ziz’s omnipresence in their obsession with open skies, and the Storm Trio’s dual nature as a reminder that freedom carries responsibility. Those born under the sign of the Phoenix are considered blessed and destined for greatness, undergoing the rites of adulthood early.
