highpantheon

Highpantheon is a term used in some fictional settings, particularly within role-playing games and fantasy literature, to denote a supreme or primary group of deities within a larger pantheon. This hierarchical structure suggests that while many gods may exist, a select few hold ultimate authority, are responsible for creation, or govern the most fundamental aspects of existence. The concept of a highpantheon often serves to simplify complex mythologies or to establish a clear order of power and influence among divine beings. In these narratives, the highpantheon might be depicted as the original creators, the rulers of the cosmos, or the ultimate arbiters of fate, with lesser deities acting as their subordinates or intermediaries. The specific composition and roles of a highpantheon vary greatly depending on the fictional world in which the term is employed. It is a conceptual tool used to organize and imbue divine hierarchies with narrative significance.
