![]() ![]() There are a lot of first-party (and second-party) sources out there that are very easily overlooked (e.g. I may have mentioned this before, but I’d recommend using the Gods List over at Planewalker for finding references (toggle the list at the bottom) – the list itself is essentially a big index, so it’s somewhat useful.

This entry was posted on Sunday, December 23rd, 2012 at 3:53 am and is filed under Deities. I’m interested in what others think of these gods, and if there’s been any other work done to expand some of these deities (the few I’ve searched for don’t seem to have had much published). Finally, there are a small number of 3rd edition gods I might add to the project, such as the drow god Keptolo and some of the new Elven gods from Races of the Wild I’ve pretty much ruled out the gnomish gods, the halfling gods, and most of the dwarvish gods for various reasons such as unnecessary similarity to existing gods and unimaginative and/or apocryphal nature. One problem with the latter two pantheons is that we know they exist, but that’s it no individual gods are specified. Some pantheons have been mentioned but undetailed, which I am considering working on as well, such as the Neogi pantheon, the Dracon pantheon, and the Grommam pantheon. There are a few others I’m considering, such as the Wise Queen of the K’r’r’r, an arachnid race from Spelljammer, the thri-kreen Mantis God of the Eternal Lotus, and the Vedic god of Rakshasas, Ravanna. ![]() My fear with that last one is treading on toes or canon, since he has long been one of the popular great evils (and is mentioned in many products) in D&D history. Then there is the deity worshipped by the squirrel-like kercpa, which is another god I’d need to name, and even Orcus himself. Of course, I’d have to come up with names for them, histories, relationships, etc. Then you’ve got the deities worshipped by grippli and grung adding them could form the basis of a remnant amphibian/batrachian pantheon along with Ramenos. Anguileusis, the Anguillian god from Sea Devils Monstrous Arcana book, is one I’ll probably take on, even though I do not particularly like the god or the monsters who worship him however, they are canonically in FR’s underdark. Now I’m also considering a number of others. I’ve already added Grond Peaksmasher, a giantish demigod of firbolgs from the Moonshaes in the Forgotten Realms, Refnara the gnollish god of fear from Dungeon #48, Krocaa, an aarakocra god from one issue of Dragon (can’t recall which offhand), and of course the large expansion of draconic and centaur gods. ![]() I seem to have this incessant need to find MOAR GODS to add to the project. Seems fitting considering the other demon princes in the project already. Just recently, I discovered a single line in Dungeon #2 (in Nigel Findley’s adventure Caermor) referring to an evil dwarven god of revenge (even to undeath) called Cador, so into my project he goes! Also, Dungeon #5 has an adventure surrounding followers of the ascended tanar’ri Shami-Amourae, the goddess of debased eros and so-called Queen of Succubi. It’s funny how I keep stumbling across deities to add to my project. ![]()
