In fort #4:

"This figurine is a superiorly designed image of Ottan, the deity of poetry, writing and scholarship, depicted as a female dwarf in gabbro. Ottan looks confused."

This god, I understand!

[Eric Blank]

I have an engraving of a goddess of trade, wealth, minerals, and jewels, depicted as a female dwarf. She's depicted as laboring in the engraving. Now there's a god that deserves some respect; a very dwarven worker.

Ottan, the deity of poetry, writing and scholarship, depicted as a female dwarf in gabbro. Ottan looks confused.

Komut Loottulips, the goddess of music, dance, misery and torture.

I like these two

One Dwarven civ had a goddess of lust, darkness and fish. I kept looking at the relationships screen for every dwarf in every migration wave and not a single one would admit to worshipping her.

EDIT: The godess of lust, darkness and fish that is...

I have an axedwarf companion who praises a god of food.
Life is, in a word, food.

Here is what you do.

Get rid of the axe"dwarf", preferrably through magma.

Clearly an elf in disguise.

Got a dwarfen god of dancing not a long time ago. Half the fort worshipped him, too.

Let me guess:

Avuz - God of Volcanoes, fire, metal and minerals.  Takes the form of a male stone dwarf... This god should be worshipped by all, considering that my current fort is on a volcano embark.

[Talanic]

I can't remember what she was goddess of, but I remember a stonecrafter churning a bunch of figurines of her out.

Most of the figurines were lowest-quality and depicted her being really ticked.  Funny thing is, as the quality improved, so did her mood as shown in the figurines.

I had a god called something like lindwig the worship of oil. he was associated with mountains.

He obviously works for BP...

[Nyxalinth]

I once got a god of chaos and order. I don't know if that is stupid or if it's awesome.

Sheogorath/Jyggalag anyone?

In the current civ Im playing there is a diety of salt. Nothing else, just salt.
Enor Blueseas the Oceanic Water. Often takes the form of a male dwarf.

Clearly the dwarves worship this guy because they're afraid of every water source in the world becoming dangerously salty if they don't.

There is also a popular deity of mercy and forgiveness, and another of charity, sacrifice, and generosity. Only one god of war, and only war, and one god of metals and fortresses!

I should just open the doors and let the damn ogres in! I've been running a fortress of elves for 6 years and didn't even realize it! Where did the enormous iron corkscrews and pipes go!?

Salt was really, really important to ancient peoples.  If you didn't have it, you probably couldn't preserve meats.  Any animals you slaughtered to eat through the winter had to be slaughtered IN WINTER, so they'dve already lost a significant portion of their fat and muscle - unless you worked extra hard to keep them well-fed, which is time you could've spent producing food (or whatever else you needed) for yourself. 

In fact, it's kinda a shame that salt isn't yet represented well in DF.  I have no doubt that it will be important eventually...
