Dagdan Pantheon

Created page with the temple row description, the named deities and their roles, and the blessing system link
The Dagdan pantheon is the set of gods worshipped across the continent of Dagda, and through them the ruling institution of the Dagdan Empire. Seven of their temples stand in a row in the upper levels of Dagsion, watched over by a bronze statue of the Divine Sovereign.
Nintendo's presentation is precise on two points: the row is watched over by a bronze statue of the Divine Sovereign, and it is home to seven temples. Volunteering at one of them earns a blessing to carry into the next battle, with effects that include a temporary stat buff and halving the damage you take. Which blessings you can call on depends on which temple you have served and how often, and the service is capped to a set number of uses each week. Temple Blessings covers the system in detail.
The seven temples on the row are named for Fortuna, Mars, Smyrnos, Aurora, Jurah, Kalla and Credna. One preview reading of the city counts more shrines than seven across the upper and lower levels, including one at the very top used by the Divine Sovereign, so the full layout is not settled. Seven is what Nintendo says, and seven is what this page follows.
Deity | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Divine Sovereign and god of the sun | Rules the empire as regent while the founding king sleeps. Also called the Sunbearer. Opens the Heroic Games and grants the winner's wish. | |
Goddess of fate | Keeps her own temple on the row, with the Obelisk Chamber hidden beneath it. Her power over causality underpins Fortuna's Blessing and the story's time travel. Described as capricious and idle. | |
Keeper of Death and Night | The goddess of Saramis, feared and loathed by most Dagdans elsewhere. Named as the Divine Sovereign's wife and Aurora's mother. | |
Goddess of the stars and navigation | Titled Navigator's Clarion. Confined to her temple and forbidden contact with outsiders. Her blessings are defensive in effect. | |
Mars | God of Dagda | Holds a temple on the row. His blessings are reported to strengthen physical weapons and combat. |
Smyrnos | God of Dagda | Holds a temple on the row. His blessings are reported to strengthen magic. Credna is named as his younger half-brother. |
Kalla | Goddess of Dagda | Holds a temple on the row. Olympia serves as one of her priestesses. |
Credna | God of Dagda | Holds a temple on the row and is described as a crafter of machines. |
Jurah | Goddess of Dagda | Holds a temple on the row. Little else has been published about her. |
Dagda | The founding king | The empire's first ruler, filed among the gods in roster material and honoured with a temple at the top of the city. The continent carries his name; see Dagdan Empire. |
Family ties run through the group: the Divine Sovereign is named as Yu Phas's husband and Aurora's father, which makes the goddess Saramis worships part of the ruling family the rest of the continent venerates.
Each deity is tied to a hereditary mark carried by certain mortals. The Dagdan word for an individual mark is reported as a Diadem, with each Diadem associated with a member of the pantheon, and its effects granted temporarily as a reward for temple service. That framing comes from one source and no effect data has been published, so treat it as provisional rather than confirmed.
Balor, the revived demon god, belongs to the underworld and stands outside this pantheon; by the year 1454 of the Dagdan Calendar he has invaded Dagda. Sothis appears as the progenitor god who calls a single soul down to face him, and roster material files her among the divinities without giving her a place on temple row.
