And now, got a cardinal goddess of the sun, sky and weather.
While it is fitting... I am extremely disappointed by my current civilization. :|
More impressed however by the (dwarf) god of the moon and agriculture. It... makes a lot of sense?

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

If their main export is salt, yes. If not, then maybe they're very picky about their food.
Or if they like having their meat not rot...

well, it seems that some of my humans have a reason for the term 'busy as a bee' based on one of their gods...

mirding crafted swelters the post of justice was a deity that occurs in the myths of the neutral empire. mirding was most often depicted as a male bumblebee drone and was associated with the sky, rainbows, light, day, the sun, fire, metals, crafts, creation, and birth

I don't have the screencaps or even a name to go on, but at some point I had a hoary marmot god of "war, fortresses, and wealth" in one of my civs.

One of my current civs has a deity I'm rather fond of for no particular reason. Not very strange or even malicious, I just like this for some reason:

"Dubmith was a deity in the myths of The Adventurous Kingdom (human). Dubmith was depicted as a female cardinal and was associated with the wind and hospitality."

This is a sketch of Dubmith, a deity of the wind and hospitality, in the form of a female cardinal on sketchbook paper in graphite pencil by The Proxian. Dubmith is flying. Dubmith is glowing.
