On The Motivations of These Deities: These are not the standard fantasy deities. The campaign world and everything in it is essentially a big game of risk for them. They pretend to act as normal deities and cultivate an image that fits their spheres of influence, mostly for deceiving their followers into thinking they actually care.
Essentially, this little game goes on until civilization is destroyed. Once all of civilization has ended, they repopulate the races of the world, let them be for a little while, then have at it again. There are no rules to this game except that no deity can just end the world themselves. A god can start wars or do other, more dangerous actions (like dropping giant abominations on a continent). This game has been played numerous times through to the inevitable conclusion multiple times, so ruins are common.
One other thing to keep in mind is that none of the deities have any hostility to each other. They convince mortals that other gods are their enemies, but this is only to get a edge in their little game. They do not care what other gods do to their followers, as it is just taken with good humour.
Lastly, the gods are not in actual conflict with each other (they actually like each other) so anyone who angers one god might end up getting punished by all of them.
Acellus (Lawful Good)
Portfolio: Law, Order, Light, Fire, Justice, Zeal
Domains: Good, Law, Sun, Fire
Favoured Weapon: Scythe
Holy Symbol: Flaming Sickle
-- The god of righteousness and holy zeal. Acellus strives for the total annihilation of evil and the absolute dominance of good and law. Followers of Acellus are most often crusading priests and knights who have become obsessed with exterminating evil and ensuring the reign of law. At best, they are dedicated soldiers of virtue, and at worst they can be tunnel-visioned fanatics.
Miousene (Neutral Good)
Portfolio: Mercy, Healing, Life, Fertility, Love, Understanding
Domains: Good, Healing, Plants, Animal
Favoured Weapon: Sap
Holy Symbol: Crystal Lilly
-- Miousene is the goddess of mercy and compassion. She seeks to end suffering and pain while seeking to further love among mortal races. Followers of Miousene tend to be doctors and healers, though many bards also pay her respect. Many good aligned druids venerate Miousene as the representation of nature's more gentle aspects.
Norgon (Chaotic Good)
Portfolio: Daring, Adventure, Swiftness, Wit, Treasure, Courage
Domains: Good, Luck, Travel, Air
Favoured Weapon: longsword
Holy Symbol: Temple Coin
-- The god of daring and adventure, Norgon is a popular deity among treasure hunters and dungeon delvers alike. He is a god that emphasizes individuality, cleverness, and courage in the face of adversity. His followers tend to be optimists who strive to be all they can be, facing life's adversity with trademark enthusiasm. Clerics of Norgon are a beacon to the poor and downtrodden in times of peril, providing encouragement and blessings to those in need.
Mallanus (Lawful Neutral)
Portfolio: Law, Judgement, Common Sense, Truth, Fairness, Nobility
Domains: Law, Knowledge, Strength, Protection
Favoured Weapon: Warhammer
Holy Symbol: Judge's Gavel
-- The adjudicator of all celestial grievances and the very embodiment of justice. Mallanus is obsessed with the eradication of disorder and lawlessness, seeking to establish the reign of perfect order in the world. There is no in-between actions for Mallanus, only right and wrong. Any lawbreaker caught by a follower of Mallanus can expect little mercy or sympathy. Followers of Mallanus tend to be stern and humourless individuals, loathing uncertainty and chaos while attempting to bring order to their surroundings.
Zyl (True Neutral)
Portfolio: Knowledge, Learning, Magic, Moon, Secrets, Planning, Patience
Domains: Magic, Knowledge, Water, Air
Favoured Weapon: Trident
Holy Symbol: Glass Eye
-- Perhaps the most enigmatic and aloof of all the gods, Zyl is the goddess of magic and knowledge. Spellcasters of all kinds revere her and her limitless knowledge of the arcane. She is an ever patient and contemplative deity, preferring not to interfere with the mortal world unless it is absolutely necessary. As such she is unlikely to answer the prayers of the faithful, but will gift her devotees with much knowledge and power in time.
Frezzach (Chaotic Neutral)
Portfolio: Chaos, Madness, Unreliability, Revelry, Gambling, Humour
Domains: Chaos, Luck, Trickery, Travel
Favoured Weapon: Whip
Holy Symbol: A Pair of Dice
-- A truly crazed and unpredictable being, Frezzach is the patron of hedonism, comedy, and raw chaos. Frezzach has few followers as not many are willing to brave the attentions of a mad god. Those praying to him are just as likely to have something horrible happen to them as they are likely to get aid. Only madmen and hedonistic party goers pay Frezzach any kind of real devotion.
Kanthor (Chaotic Evil)
Portfolio: Destruction, Chaos, Rage, Killing, Slaughter, Discord
Domains: Chaos, Evil, Fire, Destruction
Favoured Weapon: Greatclub
Holy Symbol: Burnt Skull
-- Brutal and depraved, Kanthor is the very embodiment of mindless destruction and anger. The only thing he seeks is to see all of creation destroyed. The followers of Kanthor tend to be murderers, pyromaniacs, and psychopaths. All bend their efforts to their deranged gods goal.
Braxis (Neutral Evil)
Portfolio: Suffering, Pain, Hate, Undead, Darkness, Sorrow
Domains: Death, Earth, Evil, Trickery
Favoured Weapon: Flail
Holy Symbol: Sacrificial Dagger
-- The corrupter of all things, lady of pestilence, and mistress of hatred. Braxis, as mortals name her, is a nefarious being. She is death to what lives, hatred to those who love, and suffering to those who feel joy. This foul deity is the patron of the undead and a tormentor of lost souls. Followers of Braxis are corrupters as much as they are corrupted, tainting the souls of mortals and despoiling that which is pure. Necromancers revere Braxis as the absolute ruler of all undead.
Listor (Lawful Evil)
Portfolio: Order, Loyalty, Tyranny, Strength, Valour, Discipline
Domains: Law, War, Knowledge, Strength
Favoured Weapon: Halberd
Holy Symbol: Steel Sceptre
-- Listor is the tyrant god, enforcing and iron willed rule upon the weak and thrusting the strong into lordship. He cares little for the weak but understands that they are vital to the survival of the strong, establishing rigid monarchies and complex webs of loyalty to keep the powerful in place. All must honour their obligations, both master and servant, lest society crumble and succumb to chaos. Many of his followers are militaristic lords and army officers, people who truly value Listor's ideals. It is unwise to cross his devotee's as they are more than likely to be experienced combatants.
