Gods of Kaledor
The Pantheon
In Kaledor it is widely taught that
there are nine true gods of the pantheon. Each representative of a
metaphysical system of altruism, greed, order, and chaos. Although
the varied residents of Kaledor worship a collection of dozens if not
hundreds of deities, common educated theology indicates that any of
these deities is actually an iteration of one of the nine. Indeed, it
is believed that all the gods that have ever been worshipped, and all
that will ever be, are iterations of the nine.

The Singularity
There are some who theorize that just as the hundreds of deities of Kaledor are an aspect or representation of the Nine, the Nine are aspects of a singular being. This being, often referred to as "the singularity", is theorized to have separated itself into different aspects of an all encompassing form, the reasons for doing so as debatable as the idea of the Singularity itself.
