- Asa-hari, God of Hyenas, Power, and Dominance
Asa-Hari is one of the minor gods of the Serran Pantheon. He represents strength and power, as well as authority and dominion. Asa-Hari has also become a symbol of oppression, though, as a direct result of the dominance he gives. Asa-Hari’s worshipers are often those who possess the power and dominance he embodies, while he is scorned by those forced into lives of submission and obedience. The main temple dedicated to him is located in the slave port of Shivan, although another temple lies in Azkahir.

- Ka-chet, God of Sheep, Healing, and the Harvest
Ka-chet is a minor god of the Serran Pantheon. He is seen as a shepherd and farmer, who tends the sick as well as his crops, and keeps everything in good health. While everyone recognizes Sek-bas’ importance in crop growth, people pray to Ka-chet if they want a bountiful harvest or a wound healed. While he has no temples per se, there are many hospitals dedicated to Ka-chet, with the largest located in Azkahir. Farmers often also have shrines to him in their own homes.
4e Domains: Life, Earth, Civilization
- Gan-holtra, The Earth Mother, Provider of Life and Sustenance
Gan-holtra is not a god or goddess to the people of Serran, but instead she is the Earth itself. They believe that all plant life is ultimately connected, deep underground, and that their world itself is this massive, inter-connected life form that allows them to live on it and eat from its flesh to survive. However, Gan-holtra is not believed to be quite the same as the actual gods they worship, but instead simply a massive creature they happen to live on; it is not believed to possess any powers of its own.
- Lis-beht, The Great Dragon, Eater of Souls and Ruler of the Dead
Lis-beht, like Gan-holtra, is not a god. Instead, Lis-beht is viewed as the guardian of the afterlife, a massive dragon who feeds off the souls of the wicked and protects the souls of the virtuous for all eternity. It is said to live in a massive, labyrinthine cavern at the edge of the earth that leads to a paradise for those who live a good life. It is also said that any wicked person who manages to find their way through the labyrinth to paradise before Lis-beht finds and devours them will escape the punishment that awaits them and be forgiven their mortal crimes.
