Gods for Player Characters in the World of Erdul (a short list)

Some of these gods come from my own imagination; most are just cheesily ripped off from somewhere else… ‘cause that’s just the kind of douchebag I am. If you wanted originality, why are you playing D&D?

A few of the “standard” gods from the Greyhawk Pantheon are shoehorned in as well just to make having player characters from other games able to continue on in their pathetic little lives..

Alignment of Clerics: In most cases a clerics alignment must be one step away from that of their deity on either the law/chaos axis or the good/evil axis unless indicated otherwise under the god’s description. Note that some gods may appear under more than one alignment!

New Domains: Please note that there are some new domains below!

Lawful Good

Name	Domains	Worshippers	Weapon	Sphere of influence	Symbol:	Information:
Girru	Fire, protection, knowledge, good	Alchemists, blacksmiths, warriors, merchants	Dagger or hammer	Alchemy, fire, heat, light, manufacturing metal items		Girru appears usually as a column of roaring flame. Most of his worshippers are of lawful and neutral good alignments.
Dianecht, God of Healers	Healing, protection, good, plant, death	Doctors, physicians, herbalists	staff	Healing, doctors, protection		Dianecht, the physician of the gods, is a lawful good god worshipped by healers and invalids. He heals without regard to alignment, friendship or other status.
The Bleeding Head	Protection, good, strength, healing	Just about anyone; the bleeding head isn’t choosy	mace	anything		His worshippers claim that this Bleeding Head is actually the oldest living thing in the Universe and a being of immeasurable power. It never speaks but makes it’s will known through his priests who conduct many ceremonies in which they interpret the will of this mysteriously popular god.
Ummamrod	Charm, Sleep, Earth, protection, good, healing	Few and far between	Net, staff, unarmed attack	Happiness, productive relationships, love and marriage		Ummamrod is the opposite aspect of Dormammu (she/he is female on the right side and male on the left). She/he used to be more popular than she/he is today and most of her/his temples have been closed because most consider this god just to be too goddamn weird. Her temples are supposed to be good sources for love potions and relationship advice, however. Her few remaining worshippers are unmarried older women or widows who arrange marriages between younger people who would rather be off getting in trouble with the wrong sort of boy or girl.

Chaotic Good

Name	Domains	Worshippers	Weapon	Sphere of influence	Symbol:	Information:
Thor, God of Thunder	War, Strength, Air, Protection, good, storms	Fighters, Skanders, Nordings, dwarves and people with red beards and those who dislike giants	Warhammer	Lightning, storms		Thor is a fairly popular god and is allied with his father, Odin. He is well known for knocking giants to bits with his mighty hammer, Mjolnir. Thor is probably as violent as Cuthbert, but is also noted for liking a good time. Most of his followers enjoy a good ass whupping followed by a party.
Jeebus	Protection, Good, Healing, Fate, Necromantic	Common folk, the poor and downtrodden,	Club, staff, spear			Jeebus is a relatively new god and has appeared recently from unknown parts and spread rapidly throughout the common people through word of mouth.

Anhur	War, strength, protection, fate	Fighters, nobles, adventurers	longsword	Battle, armies and the military, generals, nobility and social climbers, rugged individualists and John Wayne		Anhur is a manly-man’s god. His followers usually gather in circles and hold the talking stick

He enjoys nothing more than busting heads and taking names --- and since evildoers seem to break the law more often then others, he is usually busting the bad guys more than the good – but he cares less about what is “right or wrong” and more about what the law says. His worshippers tend to be the sorts of people who call the sheriff at 11:01 pm when their next door neighbor is having a party. His symbol is the encircled cross. Lawful good or lawful neutral are the ONLY acceptable alignments for his clerics.

In times past her faith was spread by agents of the empire, but as the borders of the empire receded, her faith remained and has been adopted by the locals in many former colonies.
Hypnos, God of Sleep	Knowledge, Travel, Sleep, protection, healing, charm, Darkness	Innkeepers, insomniacs, mattress salesman	cudgel	A good night’s rest		Also known as “The King of Coils,” the god of sleep is a fairly popular deity in Erdul. His temples also usually serve as inns and resthomes.

For however many times you can think of a way in which fate has favored you, you can also usually think of an equal number of times in which fate has screwed you over. What are you gonna do? That’s fate, buddy! Fate usually appears as an emaciated sexless creature without eyes wrapped in a shroud. His-her-its followers often use an hourglass with wings or a dice with wings or a winged wheel as symbols. They can often be found casting sheep bones on the ground, reading entrails or tea leaves or reading tarot cards.
