The gods of the ancient Kalaman Pantheon are believed to have originated largely from the antediluvian Drameggin Civilization and are preserved in the modern cultures of Rhiony and Vimalia as well as observed by neighboring civilizations of Ithatia and Midretasso. Their divinities are numerous and are thought to incorporate the gods of multiple pre-flood cultures which are known only to specialists if remembered at all. Some of the divinities have correspondence with the gods of other pantheons, such as Hesukh (Eshik), Hukshal (Parkia), Thulya (Eriu), Penjahl (Lygdamion), Dajhis, and Arutkaupshaz.
