Rather than immersing themselves in issues of philosophy, monitors take a more cosmic approach, battling each other over universal laws, the planes, and reality itself... (click to see full entry)

Pantheons

Source Gods & Magic pg. 93 2.0
A pantheon is a group of related gods worshipped either individually or together.
