Homebrew Garterran Species Details
Garterran Culture

Garterran Deities
The Deities of Garterrans tend to surround their cultures every day life.
Vobar: the god of strength and protection has kept those who are a warrior safe on the battlefield for over 6 millennium as well as leading them to new lands for them to prosper.
Sosa: Sosa is a highly celebrated and deeply embraced goddess. Afterlife, justice and chains are vital elements this divine being is associated with and many think of her as apathetic and punctual.
Often depicted as giant, muscular, immature and pure Sosa is usually worshipped through sacrifices and atonements.
There's a few main places for those who thirst for the powers and blessings of Sosa, but homemade shrines and small shrines are commonly found throughout the lands.
Worshippers are in the minority and tend to come in the form of animal keepers and soldiers and no others are usually welcomed among followers of this goddess. Sometimes even when the right sacrifices and atonements are not met.
Sosa has no luck with lovers. Which only fuels the power Sosa may possibly provide, but it's the mightiest of deities that can walk alone.Detrea: goddess of wisdom said to have figured out the secret of life. She was known to have been an advisor to Vobar, and Sosa.
