Zin

Zin is an ancient and revered God, dedicated to the establishment of
order and the destruction of the forces of chaos and night. Valued
worshippers can gain sustenance in times of need, blessings on their
weapons, and a variety of powers useful in the fight against evil, but

magic. Zin appreciates long-standing faith as well as sacrifices of
valued objects.
%%%%
The Shining One

The Shining One is a powerful crusading deity, allied with Zin in the
fight against evil. Followers may be granted blessings on their
weapons and the ability to summarily dispense the wrath of heaven, but

Shining One appreciates long-standing persistence in the endless
crusade, as well as the dedicated destruction of unholy creatures.
%%%%

creatures as often as possible, but is not interested in the offering
of corpses except at an appropriate altar.
%%%%
Yredelemnul

undead without having to learn to use necromancy. Followers can raise

unpleasant) powers. Yredelemnul appreciates killing, but prefers
corpses to be put to use rather than sacrificed.
%%%%
Xom

Xom is a wild and unpredictable God of chaos, who seeks not
worshippers but playthings to toy with. Many choose to follow Xom in
the hope of receiving fabulous rewards and mighty powers, but Xom is
nothing if not capricious.
%%%%
Vehumet

Vehumet is a God of the destructive powers of magic. Followers gain
various useful powers to enhance their command of the hermetic arts,

spells in Vehumet's library. One's devotion to Vehumet can be proved
by the causing of as much carnage and destruction as possible.
%%%%
Okawaru

Okawaru is a dangerous and powerful God of battle. Followers can gain

allies.

to see their magical books burn. Followers are forbidden the use of
spell magic.
%%%%
Nemelex Xobeh

Nemelex is a strange and unpredictable trickster God, whose powers can
be invoked through the magical packs of cards which Nemelex paints in
the ichor of demons. Followers receive occasional gifts, and should
use these as much as possible. Offerings of any type of item are also
appreciated. The Trickster may provide certain ways to improve one's
chances at cards, but prefers those who trust to luck.
%%%%
Elyvilon

Elyvilon the Healer is worshipped by the healers (among others), who
gain their healing powers by long worship and devotion. Although
Elyvilon prefers a creed of pacifism, those who crusade against evil
are not excluded. Elyvilon appreciates the destruction of weapons.
%%%%
Lugonu

Lugonu the Unformed revels in the chaos of the Abyss. Followers are
sent out to cause bloodshed and disorder in the world, and must do so
unflaggingly to earn Lugonu's favour. Lugonu expects followers to
spread chaos and corruption in the overworld.
%%%%
Beogh

Beogh is a deity worshipped by the cave orcs native to parts of the
dungeon. Only orcs may devote their service to Beogh, and must prove
their devotion by bloodshed and sacrifice. Devout followers of Beogh
can smite their foes, and especially fervent devotees of Beogh may
even gain followers of their own, for the orcs still look for their
Messiah.
