Gods of Argaenothruzil 5e (Part 2)

Bezzoan

God of Honor

Bezzoan Iron-Fists is the god of warmth, courage, and righteous triumph in battle. He is the patron god of sailors, particularly those of the sea kingdom of Vingomir, and the first creator of humans. Mortals pray to Bezzoan to preserve their family lines and to protect their homelands, but he mainly acts through inspiring mortals to help themselves, rather than intervening directly. It gives him pleasure to see weakness become strength and for shivering folks to learn to stand strong and resolute. 

Bezzoan is depicted as a black-bearded man with fists made of wrought iron.

Bezzoan's Champions

Alignment: Usually neutral, often good

Suggested Classes: Barbarian, cleric, fighter, monk, paladin

Suggested Cleric Domains: Forge, War

Suggested Backgrounds: Folk hero, noble, sailor, soldier

You earn piety from Bezzoan by standing up for truth and honor, for honoring ancestors and leaders, for being true to oaths and promises, and for defending the weak and teaching them how to be stronger. Bezzoan frowns upon using magic, besides cleric and paladin spells, and generally does not award piety to those who use it to solve their problems.

Ezrim

God of Justice

Ezrim Truth-Judge is the impartial god of law, justice, metal, and cities. In short, he embodies the ideals of civilization and the polishing of raw materials into refinement. He is the patron god of civil elves, and though he is a god just like Phroella, he is often at odds with her and her views on the preservation of the wilds. Ezrim's name is invoked in courts and in oaths, with the belief that Ezrim would not let a lie be told in his name. His religion is almost inseparable from actual city laws, for when a society is working justly and fairly, he is pleased. 

Ezrim is depicted as a gray-eyed man holding a gavel.

Ezrim's Champions

Alignment: Always lawful, often neutral

Suggested Classes: Bard, cleric, fighter, monk, paladin, rogue

Suggested Cleric Domains: Forge, Order, Knowledge

Suggested Backgrounds: Acolyte, folk hero, guild artisan, soldier, urchin

Moeki

God of Fortune

Moeki the Trickster is the god of treasure, luck, and guile. He is the patron god of dwarves and the whisper of greed in every treasure-seeker's heart. Moeki was the last Intelligence to join the side of the Gods, and this was only after he realized that he would be outnumbered otherwise. His name is invoked by those who seek protection of their material goods, and a common way to honor Moeki is by burying treasure. Since Moeki's domain is the earth, lending treasure to him in this way gains his favor (and Moeki likely decreed this in hopes that his followers would forget where they buried it so he could keep it for himself).

Moeki is depicted as a beardless dwarf with golden teeth, bedecked with jewelry.

Moeki's Champions

Alignment: Usually chaotic, often neutral

Suggested Classes: Barbarian, bard, rogue, warlock

Suggested Cleric Domains: Earth*, Trickery

Suggested Backgrounds: Charlatan, criminal, entertainer, guild artisan, noble, sailor

Moeki's offers for good luck and piety are simple: hoard treasure and bury it in the earth. He is less keen to offer piety to the poor or those who do not seek material wealth.
