Plottie Pantheon
Plottie culture follows a polytheistic religion with a pantheon of both major and minor gods and goddesses lead by a Supreme Deity: Juaraw, Goddess of the Sun. Religion, although not mandatory, plays a significant role in Plottie civilization as it is the means by which they explain various forces of nature, life and existence itself.
Plotties believe the deities exist to mantain the order of the cosmos and thus perform rituals, offerings and prayers regularly to gain their favor. A lot of the major Plottie events are centered around worship of a specific of various deities. Young Plotties are taught to follow these traditions and respect the deities from a very early age.
JUARAW: GODDESS OF THE SUN
Juaraw is the Supreme Goddess in the Plottie Pantheon. The Sun Goddess is considered the creator of all life, including the creation of all the other deities. She is also widely revered as the Goddess of Time as Plottie beliefs dictate that she is responsible for the passing of the days and the seasons.
As the main deity in the religion, she is the most worshipped and most mentioned in scriptures. She is honored in practically every major holiday in one way or another but the main month dedicated entirely and solely to her is Juamox (August).

MANI: GODDESS OF THE MOON
Mani is the second most important deity in the pantheon. Juaraw's younger sister, some Plotties believe she is at the same level as the Sun Goddess in the hierachy and, in fact, honor her as their Supreme Goddess. It is for this reason that Mani and Juaraw are in constant conflict and, according to folklore, this is why the Sun and the Moon are hardly ever in the sky at the same time.
Plotties consider Mani to be in control of their growth and well-being and, whether devoted or not, most of them pay close attention to the phases of the moon. In fact, a good amount of the offerings and rituals in the religion are centered around her cycles. Her main month of worship is Manimox (September).
