Ason:

This god most often takes the form of a skeletal dwarf. He is associated with war, death, and fortresses.


My fortress receives 10-15 immigrants every season, and has never passed 20 dwarves total. Maybe they need to worship a NICER god.

Dik Mangyclods the Spurting Smut, God of Muck

I imagine there are religious debates between the dwarves of the Palace of Combat who worship Avuz Diamondcopper the Rock of Cresting, god of mountains, and those of the Arrow of Catches who worship L-Rit the Rock of Cresting, goddess of mountains.

Shigin Releaserelieve the Emancipated Liberty of Extricating, Goddess of Freedom (Dwarven Book of Exodus!)

Cish the Wall of Bones, human god of boundaries and suicide. Only one way out of THAT temple!

Spugak Hogbuttocks, goddess of depravity. I'm so not asking.

And the civ that produced my current fort (built near between a magma pipe and a river, where Mirthful obsidian-floor forests meet Haunted limestone hills) worships among others Ikal the Healing Shell, goddess of fortresses. If they consider them healing shells they've never been inside a fortress.  ;)

Lim Runsculpt is a deity that occurs in the myths of The Lantern of Tactics.  Lim was most often depicted as a female dwarf and is associated with rumours and fame.

also - Osul is a deity that occurs in the myths of The Lantern of Tactics.  Osul was most often depicted as a male dwarf and is associated with painting.

For some reason, that reminds me of a macroed image of a giant inflatable pikachu (that was apparently some sort of 'fun-house' or some such) with the entrance point right where the crotch would be.  :-X

At first I thought this was some sort of arrow. Then I realized it's a really lame emoticon.

Edit to contribute:


I wonder what counts as "good" control.

Well, she has healing a one of her spheres, so I guess it's the kind of control where you prevent your epileptic friends from injuring themselves.

One of the dwarf civs in my new world must really adore fireflies:





Not one, but TWO firefly deities.

Also theres a human civ in the same world with a hippo god:



Apparently, Subi Beachwaves the Washed Ships came out of the ocean and gave birth to the world. That actually makes more sense than some real world creation myths...
