Imperial Deities

The imperial deities worshiped in Talune are mostly taken from the other empires. Theirs is a religion that assimilated many other religions into a contradictory set of philosophies that ultimately promote imperial power, prosperity gospel, toxic individualism, patriarchy, racial hierarchies, exploitation, oppression, division, and ignorance in the guise of promoting prosperity, personal freedom, family values, the greater good, and the inherent goodness of imperial leadership.

They are split between the major deities and the minor deities:
