The Divine Temple of Faith! Out of all the Houses in the Pantheon, this is probably the one that inhabitants of the mortal worlds has the most access to. This is where people from all worlds and religions pay their respects to their gods.
The House of Faith is not just one house due to the massive diversity that religions have, but is instead a massive collection of gargantuan churches, synagoguess, mosques, temples, totem poles, monasteries, cathedrals and so forth. There is at least one place for every god, Good, Evil, Chaotic, Lawful or Neutral, for the mortals to pray to. In this place, you can find anything from marriages, animal sacrifices, fighting pits (for worshiping war-loving gods such as the Nordic Pantheon), holy as well as unholy rituals and so forth.
It is also one of the most guarded Houses in order to make sure that followers do not clash against each other. Sometimes, gods from the other houses will visit in order to bless (or curse) their followers.

Enemies:, the majority of the House of especially Tyrael, (, ), (and by extension, and the ORC),. Lesser Evil, Lord of Sin, Azmodan is basically the amalgamation of the: Greed, Pride, Sloth, Lust, Wrath, Envy and Gluttony. Placed in his minions and his most trusted, these sins is what comprises Azmodan's power and at the same time caused his downfall, especially against Diablo. Worse, his pride costed him his plans and himself, though this could be because.
After his death at the hands of the Nephalems, he was shortly ported back into Court of the Gods, where he was judged for his sinful ways. There, they placed him as the herald of the. As one of the brightest generals of Hell, he is highly regarded as a good tactician,. This has given a trust issue with most tacticians around the Pantheon, as he also has the tendency to spill out the plans. His anger immediately unfolded when he heard of the Nephalem's presence, sending unending minions and fireballs at the House of. After the battle, Azmodan was forced to retreat back into his temple, seeing that there are surprisingly more powerful deities than what he can deal with. His infuriation however reached peak levels when he saw Diablo's presence as well.
While this will help settle their rivalry once and for all, he noticed that he already has a large amount of allies to help him when he decides to fight the Lord of Sin. With this discovery, he decided to leave him be, only when the time comes. He has stated that it feels like a reunion in here, after seeing familiar faces of many kind, especially his sworn enemies. Azmodan: Consider your Light.extinguished.
Worse, when he met the Nephalem Johanna, she kept on insisting that if they are fighting together, To add even further salt to the wound, almost every villain has reminded him to never overdo himself due to his tendencies. He's pretty much annoyed with her (and by extension, every villains') comments. Currently, he is training the Koopalings in the art of embracing the Seven Sins. While they 'failed' most of Azmodan's tests, he is somewhat amused with their shenanigans and has shown that the Koopalings have a sin that they have mastered, Greed. At the same time, he has become allies with the ascended Homunculi Pride, Lust and Father. All who are representations of their respective sins. They often go to Azmodan's temple, further increasing their power from sins done from Pantheon members and mortals alike.
This has gotten Azmodan's attention and is considering to place them as his remaining heralds as replacements. He considers Lust's looks veeeery distracting as he either contests which is better, Cydaea or Lust. Though the both of them are okay with Azmodan as their 'master'. He became very disappointed with Greed after the latter's in order to reach a godly level.
Because of this, he considers him a travesty to all sinners in the world. There was also a time when Meliodas was going to be considered a herald for Wrath, until he saw his true. To this day, he is still pissed for the former's motivation of good rather than evil (despite being a representation of wrath). Is being considered for recruitement into the Burning Legion, commanded by none other than Lord Jaraxxus. He has politely accepted such offer and is willing to send reinforcements from Hell just to assist, though this could be a cover up to usurp Sargeras. Illidan however saw this and has warned the GUAG of his plans, forcing Azmodan to 'cover up' his plan. It didn't work to say the least.
Shazam has dreaded his existence as his is a grave sign of his former fight against the Embodiment of Sin itself. Azmodan however, has other plans for the hero. The rage he has against the Nephalems have extended to almost every single Nephilim in existence. So far, he has encountered three other nephilim inside Pantheon proper: Akeno Himejima, who met him in person and lost to him in a horrible way, Death, who proved him to be a great adversary, and Sicily, who can not only go toe to toe against him, but defeat him thanks to her magical-defense stats. He's not proud about the results, despite winning once. This did however gave him the ire of Issei Hyodo and the rest of the Occult Reearch Club very quick after the incident with Akeno.
Azmodan has been warned him several times to not mess with the Lord of Sin, or else. Azmodan: You dare test the Lord of Hell, boy. Because I think you have no idea what you are up against. SPEAKING about the Nephilim,.
Warning to all who wish to fight him: Never fight him in Melee combat, as his powerful strikes can leave you vulnerable and his tanky health adds up the difficulty. On the other hand,.
The Mane Six are watching the Lord of Sin due to being the opposite reflections of Sin and Evil. This annoys Azmodan to a great degree, since he cannot corrupt them in anyway, unless he starts contacting aid from the Old Gods that is. Alphonse Elric was even more shocked to hear an evil representation of him, due to containing. Azmodan is not amused at the slightest. With that said, he's going to make his first strike on Alphonse in his to-do list. He has been contacted once by Orc Warlock Gul'dan as a part of his ritual of binding demons.
During the ritual, it didn't go so well for the Orc. However, after that incident, Gul'dan has commented that the power inside Azmodan was worth the price. After his 'visit', he was met with the Old Gods, who somehow read his mind and got interested with his motivations. Y'shaarj also made a deal that the demon couldn't resist, defeat Diablo with his help. The Lord of Sin reluctantly agreed,. His allies have been warning him of his actions, as it could lead to an even more embarrassing defeat. The Chaos Gods have decided to recruit Azmodan as a Primach for their plans (some say that Tzeentch planned this).
Slaneesh especially has been interested with his 'sinful' actions. To say that Azmodan was quite pleased is a complete. Khorne on the other hand has some interesting motives for Azmodan, though he is not going to give it away that easily. Tzeentch has revealed that the Chaos God of War is planning to use him as the next.
Time will tell if he will accept the offer. Much like every demon in the Pantheon, Terrorblade has placed him on his kill list. However, the only confusion that both him and Terrorblade share is It almost becomes hilarious when they even attempt to use against each other, someting that irritates both of them so easily.
While his plans during the Diablo-verse were albeit stupid for most villains, the biggest mistake Azmodan committed was that he was a Great Evil by default after Belial's death and, which was his objective all along. There, many villains also noticed how he fell: Greed. Azmodan's attacks consist of, a on a certain range,. All these attacks,. Speaking of Globe of Annihilation, there has been rumors that. Hell, there are instances where his shots. This has gotten interest with the House of.
Sans however saw him not a threat, but rather rivals, thanks to their habit of dunking their opponents,. Rumors have also spread that they are making a Pantheon basketball team just for fun. This got to the point that Azmodan actually, with a demon team of his own included. As Heaven's Hole.

Alignment:. Portfolio:, and,.
Domains: Sex, Religion, Destruction. Allies:,. Enemies:,. Person of Interest:,. Kiara Sesshouin was a leader of a Buddhist sect that believe the only one to achieve true enlightenment is through sex.
Dress in a not so holy garment, she would entice any men and women into her wings. Kiara end goal can be basically sum up as wanting the entire world to end up in a giant orgy and merge together to reach true Nirvana. Despite how it sounds like she wants to doom humanity, thats very far from the case. In her own twisted mind, she believes she helping them end their suffering.
These goals have not change as she ascended to the Pantheon. Had a very dark past that pretty much shaped the way she is today.
She actually grew up in the decadent Buddhist sect, being expose to the rampant coitus of its members. She was also suffering from a curable disease that went untreated until late in life. She was also ignored by her by her parents. And then when she started to help people, she was hunted down by different organization. All while not understanding why she was being hunted down.
Many wonder if she lead a more normal life she would of been seen as a to humanity. Sex crazed angel Anarchy Panty really like the idea of a religion centering around having sex. The only reason why she hasn't join her yet is because of the end goal. Though, Kiara did invite her to try it out for a week. It lasted a month. There are other deities out there who don't mind joining Kiara sex religion. Like Mad Moxxi who had her own trial run to get in.
Not too surprisingly, succubi Morrigan Aesland and Akasha have also joined her cult. The latter she especially gets along with since both can get off through pain. But maybe her most ethusiastuc new members would be Charlie Harper, Glenn Quagmire, and Zapp Brannigan. It seems her sexual urges are so great that she even uses the Earth itself as her own pleasure device.
This really didn't set well with Earth Goddesses Viridi and Gaia who don't like their Earth being violated. She was also been oppose by love Goddesses Aphrodite and Shelyn. While these two are ok with sex, they are not ok with ending the world in the process. Heard about the sexual frustration of Judge Claude Frollo. Believing she was helping his suffering, she offer her body to him. Though, nothing came out of it as Frollo was either to shock or scared to do anything. Has a soft spot for the story of.
In her childhood, she admired the fairy tales written by Hans Christian Anderson. She even had a copy of the book as she lay dying from a disease.
On an unrelated note, Kiara would deny any assumption of ever meeting Anderson or doing any with him. Nope, she has zero recollection of ever being bad mouthed by him. Being a fellow Buddhist, Lisa Simpson has express utter disgust at Kiara's own perverted views of the religion. Especially since Buddha himself abstain from any forms of desires.
The same goes for Ganesha who couldn't help but roll his eyes at Kiara actions. Truly believes that humanity are the only beings to express emotions. Perticular that of love. She especially looks down on A.I.s as she sees them as lesser beings to be use.
Because of that, she can't understand how artificial beings like Yui can be given parental love from Kirito and Asuna or even robots likes WALL-E and EVE falling in love or a human like Kosmos romancing a robot like Nova. To her, it's unnatural and shouldn't happen. Because of this mind set, she made enemies with the Omnic monk Zenyatta who believes that robots are able to gain a soul and develop human emotions.
Might not look it, but Kiara has a major in computer science. Her skills are at a level in which she able to rewrite an entire A.I.' So far she has zero desire to use her ability with dealing with any machines or robots. Unless it furthers her own plans. Kiara's pleasure isn't limited to the carnal of the flesh.
She also draws from pain, both in delivering and receiving. Any battle with her would sound as if she is reaching a climax. Has shown a surprise interest in Shirou Emiya. Or maybe not that surprising knowing her relationship with his Archer selves.
She seems to be attractive to his tragic past and wanting to 'heal' that emptiness of his. Many have compare it to a twisted version of falling for a injured animal and wanting to heal it. She has also shown interest in Diana of Themyscira.
She wants to transformed the embodiment of truth, peace and love and into one of lust and desire so she can spread her to the entire world. So far, any attempts to do so have failed. But she hadn't given up. There are two known alternative version of Kiara Sesshouin. One was part of a cult that actual had ties to an alternate version of a Shirou Emiya. This version of Emiya would have a very twisted love/hate to Kiara that ended with him murdering her and her cult and causing him to end up as an Alter.
Another version was a simple therapist working at Chaldea Foundation's Seraphix project. This version, with some manipulation from the Demon Pillar Zepar, saw visions of her other selves. This ended badly as she transformed herself as Beast III-R, The Greatest Enemy of Humanity. Unlike the normal version of Kiara who love humanity, no matter how twisted, this version was a monster who saw herself as the only true human and lead to over hundreds Servants death.

Mata Nui's ascension was met with much rejoicing from the Toa Nuva. Though they were surprised when he met them in his Toa form. He explained that his true form is far too large to interact with most members of the Pantheon. That and his body is on a scale far too large to even see most members of the Pantheon. Somehow Click, Mata Nui's Scarabax Beetle and came with him. He's incredibly happy at this. Makuta Teridax has now joined the Pantheon, something which Mata Nui is not happy about - particularly considering that he was assigned the trope that he is now God of, as a result of his takeover of the Great Spirit's body.
Mata Nui is determined to ensure that nothing like that will ever befall anyone again, and with his newfound allies at his side and lessons learned on Bara Magna fresh in his mind, he is more ready than ever to stand up to the task. Part of that standing up the task is in Unity;, Mata Nui knows that his people are more than capable allies in any conflict against his brother. It is by his influence that the Turaga of Mata Nui and Toa Mahri have ascended - a decision that he is pleased with not only due to their utility but also since he can now actually get to know more of the greatest heroes of his universe. The reason why the is symbol of the Great Spirit Mata Nui, is because their functions are the same: to protect.
Because of the Great Spirit's truly massive size, he does enjoy spending time with Primus due to being of similar size and disposition towards their subjects, though their reasoning for their non-interference are slightly different: Primus dislikes interfering on a non-interference clause, Mata Nui is simply mostly unaware of the beings in his body. Due to Mata Nui and Primus' alliance, he has an enemy in Unicron and Megatron. Jean-Luc Picard immediately took a shine to the Great spirit, due in both to having similar philosophies and Mata Nui having. shows an odd interest in Mata Nui, due to believing that the Great Spirit may be a. Mata Nui has no comment on this, as he doesn't understand exactly what a Seed of Life is. Eventually it was explained to him, to which he explained while his Duty was similar, it was not the same. Despite this, his relationship with, and is on mostly good terms, due to his naturally benevolent nature.
His relationship with is a bit different, as there's something about the boy that just seems. Off to Mata Nui. Team Dai-Gurren (mainly Kamina and Simon) were interested in how a robot of his size was able to operate without. Mata Nui explained that his body runs on Energized Protodermis, which is comparable. He did warn them not to touch it, as it's effects are incredibly unpredictable.
Kamina also decided to make Mata Nui an honorary member of the Dai-Gurren Brigade, in any of his forms. (Kamina would prefer his ). He ended up having a surprising friendship with Satsuki Kiryuin, due to their shared. Though he didn't enjoy learning Satsuki did it for power, as his reasoning for dominating the Ignika's will was born from a need to survive and having is fairly counter-intuitive for survival. Though he did eventually come around after learning exactly why Satsuki needed to dominate Junketsu. They have remained friends and allies since, and Satsuki is in the process of having Mata Nui meet her group, causing Mata Nui to be surprised that.
Due to being another LEGO-originated God, Mata Nui gets along incredibly well with Emmet. Mata Nui also approves of his creative ideas when it comes to design, as creativity has benefited his own followers. Mata Nui has already informed the Treasury Keepers that the Ignika won't be put in the of the Gods, despite it being a, as the Ignika is an essential item for his body, not to mention it being where his is also kept. That and keeping the in a room with other things is a very, very, bad idea. Just ask the. Mata Nui is in a unique position due to being a member of both the and, as while he understands the GUAL's spirit, he dislikes its manner. Due to this, he tends to be a bit distant when dealing with members of the GUAL.
However, he has struck up a friendship with one member of the GUAL: Jeanne d'Arc. They quickly became close allies because of their shared outlook on things, and due to the fact that Jeanne reminds Mata Nui of Kiina.
Though their time spent together has amused many due to the between them, in either of his forms. Mata Nui once encountered. After a introductions from the other two and a short discussion, Mata Nui learned of the plan to reform the GUAL. He agreed to help, and also informed Eliphas that while order is good, chaos is also a necessary and fundamental force of existence. Balance between the two is better than having one or the other, as he pointed out what happened with Eliphas' Astral World. Despite not having died permanently (he did die once, but was brought back with Matoro ), Eiki Shiki decreed that his spirit was undeniably White. Recently became friends with, as they are both leaders attempting to save their people from destruction; not to mention about Mata Nui that reminded Artanis of Ouros, the last benevolent Xelnaga.
One time, Artanis asked Mata Nui if the Great Beings were an alternate iteration of the Xelnaga. Since Mata Nui did not know much about his creators, he admitted it was a likely possibility. Greater Goddess. Symbol: Her staff. Theme Music:;.

As the needed someone that is not only powerful, but beautiful, they decided to give the title to Palutena. Pit was surprised to see that she has ascended. She had this to say to him.
'Oh, I'm not here to save you, Pit. I'm here for a little, uh. Divine intervention.' . She is not allowed in the kitchens of the House of after happened. Met up with Lightning Farron at Pit's suggestion and the Goddess of Light and Farron were surprised that.
Both of them are friendly towards each other. Thanks to ◊, some deities have started to pair her up with Lucina.
Palutena was surprised to meet up with considering. Naturally, she wasn't happy to hear that the Hades from her world was in the Pantheon.
She was even less thrilled when she found out that there was. She also learned that the latter can take on when he decides to get serious. Unfortunately, as much as he's less malevolent than others, Palutena found the latter form of Hades. A similar thing happened after she encountered two different Medusas.
She doesn't like either of them and has been making sure they don't cause a lot of trouble. However, when Pit told her about that wasn't as bad as the others, she decided to meet up with her. Following the initial meeting with Rider, Palutena gets along rather decently with her. In addition to the for getting along with Lightning Farron, she also gets along with Yuri Tsukikage and Ororo Monroe, albeit for.
She ended up getting possessed by something known as the Chaos Kin back in her own world. Thankfully, she was freed from its control by Pit.
Given what had happened during the time she was possessed, she doesn't like gods that specialize in. Has taken part of with a moveset that is compared to the other participants. She is only allowed to choose four different moves at a time before battles though.

Notably, Sanae herself was a living goddess before ascending to the Pantheon. Is good friends with Madoka and Oyashiro-sama, for both of them were originally human but became goddesses in their home worlds. The same applies for Artina. Her power to create miracles are able to do anything.
Contrast with Bernkastel, who has a similar ability, but much more efficient. Has not passed off a chance to remind Sanae of this.
She is collaborating with Rika Furude and, to help rid of her. Avoids the House of Food at night, because she has very low alcohol tolerance. On the occasion, she does get drunk, she will insist to the other deities to pet her on her head. This was met by amusement by other deities. Rumors are abound about Sanae's ascension, saying that she bribed, for her position in the Pantheon.
Thus far, she has denied all of them. She breathed a sigh of relief as the rumors had so far died off. She digs, and was very delighted that there was a number of Mecha are present in the Pantheon. She also has been seen around,. Sanae, for her part, has wholeheartedly discarded her common sense and have committed a number of nonsensical acts,.
As the goddess herself says. Needless to say this has earned the respect of the entire and has confused the hell out of more sane deities., Sanae has taken to hunting too enthusiastically, with her most likely victim being. This has caused quite a worry among the other deities, as they fear she may. If this is believed however,. The rumors have been denied by both parties. Though Sanae herself is a relatively friendly person, she will snap at other deities if they comment on how the Moriya Shrine has been active and causing massive incidents, other explanations being shady new drug, Yukari fooling around, or magic.
Sanae is not really that fond of Kyubey, especially since the little weasel caused a lot of grief to Madoka. It doesn't help that Kyubey wanted to make a contract with Sanae since that one time. And then she found out about Kyubey's attempts to screw over the Laws of Cycles, just for the sake of more efficiency. This has placed him on top of Sanae's list. Despite meeting new people in the Pantheon, she misses her family dearly. She has thus far requested that they be ascended in the Pantheon proper.
When she heard about both her goddesses's ascensions, she was completely overjoyed. Also present under in the House of.
