Disappointing spider god information ahoy:

Quote
Edim the Certain Grotto was a deity that occurs in the myths of The Reclusive Clasp. Edim was most often depicted as a male giant cave spider and was associated with the sun, nature, water, light and day.

It's a nice giant cave spider, evidently.

Dwarves hate the sun.

"Nature" = evil fuckin' animals that want to eat dorfs.

Water will flood your fortress.

Light and day, see "the sun".

Mishos Linedbeaches the Coastal Seal of Shores is adeity of the Craft of Oceans. Mishos most often takes the form of a female moss dwarfette and is associated with boundaries.


Is my most awesome god, mostly becasue of her name though :P

I also have a god called Datan, I just assume DF meant Satan and that he's actually the god of hell, temptation and crazy laughter instead of minerals...

My current civ seems to have a Hoary Marmot god of volcanos in its pantheon.

Also there's a human muck god named "Dik the Hairy Itch". I shit you not.

I know I have posted some of this on another thread, but it fits well in here too.

In my active fort I had named Drinkgames, founded by the group The Grizzly Lantern:

Lorsith Princebury the Free Courage, diety of fame and suicide.

Kirun, diety of disease, revelry and festivals.  Depicted as a female dwarf.

Quote from: my current game
Ase Dunesoaks the Ripe Crow was a deity that occurs in the myths of The Confederacy of Enchantment.
Ase was most often depicted as a male fly and was associated with rivers, lakes, fish, fishing, and hunting.

It's a god of bait!

Almost every dwarf in my fort worships Dostob, the god of silence... And that's it.

Åmât Nestmules the lunch of muffins, male dwarf associated with festivals and dance...I just like his name.
Dungda the Raunch of Nudity, male human associated with depravity...the name made me laugh.

I don't remember his name, and I don't have the save anymore, but my favorite god by far was a Lion god of nature, the sun, the dawn, and twilight.  Once I saw that in Legends, I had to play as that civ; they ended up being at war with most of the elves, which was even nicer.  I was hoping to get lots of worshipers, or even an artifact or two, dedicated to him, and toyed with the idea of making a fort-temple complete with war giant lion guard, but things didn't exactly work out.
