I realised that there was never a formal announcement here to read up:
The Catara NWN server is offline for quite some time now, due to time constraints. I might revive it someday, but it is pretty unlikely. If anyone wants to use our custom classes or tools, ping me on twitter (@jollyorc) and we can see what we can do for you!
In the meantime, I do recommend The World of Avlis: https://avlis.org/
The Gods
-
Constain – God of Nature
Like Jonaton, Constain is a Nature God. Where Jonaton emphasizes the goodness, harmony and balance of nature, Constain embodies the opposite; the destructive and pure force that is nature in its rawest form. He loves nature, but hates the races of sentient species that have come to live in and on it, regarding them as parasites to get rid of as soon as possible. Constain is said to have a body that consists of shapeless goo or ooze.

Sorudred – God of Destruction
It is unknown if Sorudred is really a God or just an obscure demon, but still illnesses, conflagrations, plagues, and other phenomenons of grand scale destruction are often attributed to Him. It is a widespread custom to use His name in curses and when swearing.
Alignment: CE
Favored Weapon: Greatsword
Domains: Death, Destruction, War -
Rakkar – God of Thieves and Ambushes
All thieves ply their trade in the favor of Rakkar. When someone has had something stolen then it is often said that Rakkar has played His tricks on him or her.
Alignment: NE
Favored Weapon: Dagger -
Rilos – God of War and Hunting
Rilos loves fights and battles, but also the hunt. Often he’s reported to ride around on his winged horse, hunting down giants and destroying other unfriendlies. Rilos’ true followers will never just kill for the killing though. Every opponent that is met in battle, and every prey that’s hunted deserves to be honored and respected, as wits, strength and cunning are tested in battle or pursuit.
Alignment: CG
Favored Weapon: Battleaxe
Domains: Animal, Plant, War -
Jaletar – God of the Suns and the day
Jaletar represents the two suns that rise over Catara every day. He makes sure they stay on course and rise and set correctly. His name and power is also often invoked when banishing daemons or creatures of pure evil. It is said that in His holy light, no darkness or creatures of darkness can exist. His twin brother is Nuagar.
Alignment: LG
Favored Weapon: Longsword -
Nuagar – God of Darkness, the Night and Dreams
Nuagar is Jaletar’s twin and their spheres of influence closely border; his spheres of influence lie in the resting phase of the dark night. He is not an evil god though, but rather represents the wholesome aspects of darkness and night; the sleep and restful dreams that bring refreshment and strength to face a new day.
AlignmentL: NG
Favored Weapon: Crossbow
Domains: Air, Healing, Protection -
Shailin – Goddess of Love and Feelings
Shailin is the patron of those who love and those that approach each other with affection of some kind. Many healers are found in her ranks, for healing comes forth from a love of life itself.
Alignment: NG
Favored Weapon: Net
Domains: Good, Healing, Protection -
Drekon – God of Death and Mourning
God of Death and Mourning
Drekon is the most dramatic personification among the gods. According to legend He is the One that loves all people and all creatures the most. This is why, after the many wars and the many deaths his heart is broken. Legend paints him as a broken figure of a man travelling through the deserts and wastelands, loudly proclaiming his lament. He stops at every death and mourns it, then takes the deceased’s soul and leads it into a better world.
It is Drekon who cries for the deaths of us all, whether we are kings or thieves, and in the end we all pay him our last tribute, which he never wanted or asked for.
Alignment: TN
Favoured Weapon: Shield
Domains: Death, Protection, Strength -
Ugaris – God of Trade and Luck
Cursed and praised equally by many, Ugaris is a controversial god. His favor is forever changing and fluctuating, all want to have it, but it always seems to abandon them at the most inopportune time, while at the same time being there when needed most. No merchant, trader or gambler can go without his favor for any length of time, so despite being judged a bit immoral by some, his followers are still many. His favorite passtime is the riddlecontest.
Alignment: CN
Favored Weapon: Shortsword
Domains: Chaos, Travel, Trickery -
Magmos – God of Fire and Blacksmiths
Magmos is despite his small sphere of influence quite popular among the people. He is often represented as a muscular man, always with a cheerful rhyme ready. He sees to it that the hearthfire is burning brightly and that Rilos’ arrows, and the knives of fighters and chefs alike are always sharp. Magmos has a great, populous following (especially among the dwarves, where his following is unanimous).
Alignment: LN (leaning towards Good)
Favored Weapon: Warhammer
Domains: Fire, Protection, Strength -
Or-Koris – God of the Sea and Storms
Venerated by travelers on all seas, Or-Koris is the personification of the wild storm. Many lives has He claimed already and many will still fall victim to His winds and waters. Every seafarer, whether casual or professional, should endeavor to appease Him and avert His fury before setting sail, so the journey might be free of dangers.
Alignment: CN
Favored Weapon: Trident
Domains: Air, Destruction, Water -
Marros – God of the Earth and Volcanoes
Marros is primarily worshipped as the God of agriculture. It is wise to attract His favor; He protects the field and ensures the earth is fertile. Another side of His influence is however the destructive power of the earth, especially volcanoes. This means that it’s highly unwise to provoke His wrath, because not only may your field remain bare, but your lands might even be covered with a layer of molten stone and debris. Besides Magmos, Marros is the only god worshipped by the dwarves. Any tunnel or mine built without His consent is said to be doomed to collapse.
Alignment: TN
Favored Weapon: Scythe
Domains: Earth, Plant, Strength -
Janaton – God of the Forest
Janaton is often portrayed as an old man, living peacefully in a small cabin in the middle of a large forest, surrounded by all kinds of animals. One provokes His wrath by unnecessarily damaging nature. There is nothing wrong with hunting if done well, because the hunt is a part of the natural cycle of the woods and the animals living there.
Alignment: TN
Favored Weapon: Longbow
Domains: Animal, Plant, Protection -
Mirika – Goddess of the Fishermen
Mirika is the wife of Or-Koris and is highly respected among fishermen on the coast especially. She assures that enough fish migrate close to the shores, so the nets of the fishermen are always full and the catch is bountiful.
Most notably King Edward of Catar is a strong follower of Her and has his own shrine dedicated to Her. This is because his favorite dish is fresh fish.
Alignment: NG
Favored Weapon: Spear
Domains: Animal, Good, Water -
Ephemis – God of Art and History
Bards, painters, sculpters and poets; all artisans are protected by the virtue of Ephemis’ powers. All pray to him for inspiration and that little extra bit of skill that will make a simple performance or sculpture into a true work of Art. Also all who write down or recount the times gone past, and so preserve lore and history for the generations to come are specially protected by Ephemis.
Alignment: LN
Favored Weapon: Rapier
Domains: Knowledge, Travel, Trickery -
Nomakon – God of Magic and Knowledge
Nomakon is honored by all that are searching for enlightenment and knowledge. He represents Intelligence, Experience and Wisdom. Magicians and librarians especially, are often found among his followers, because there is no part of magical lore that He is not familiar with. He is the definitive Patron of all wizards, and those that aspire to become such will do well to acquire his favor. Also those that wander long forgotten paths, searching for the wisdom of the ancients are under his protection and worthy of his favor.
Alignment: LN
Favored Weapon: Mace
Domains: Knowledge, Magic, Trickery -
Ebruk – God of the Poor
Ebruk represents hope for the poor. The temple of Ebruk is a shelter for the homeless and a place where those without gold can get a warm meal. It is customary for all, even the most wealthy, to donate to Ebruk now and then, to ward off falling into poverty themselves.
Alignment: NG
Favored Weapon: Club
Domains: Good, Healing, Protection -
Elegil – Ruler of the Gods
Elegil is the Ruler of the Gods, Lord of the Pantheon. There’s nothing else to say about him, for he does not meddle in the affairs of the mortals often. Only in Catar is there a temple dedicated to him, and quite often the common folk not of the capital will never have even heard of him. He is supposed to have been the God of the prophet.
Alignment: NG
Favored Weapon: Flail
Domains: Knowledge, Magic, Travel
