Gods of the Island Realms

World of Kulan DM
GODS OF THE ISLAND REALMS
While Kulan is dominated by several continents, there is also a great deal of ocean in between. Ocean that is filled with islands. Most of these islands are fairly small but some are larger and well known -- Arek, for example.

Arek is the largest of the Isles of Valossa, which includes dozens of islands. The denizens of these islands often worship there own set of unique gods such as the Gods of Freeport, which are venerated throughout a subset of islands known as the Serpent's Teeth.

There are also the Gods of the Olmans, who live on the Isle of Dread and the Wakuna Isles; although, the Olman people exist as far south as Merria. (There are rumors that they live on the island chain south of the continent of Triadora as well but those are unconfirmed rumors.)

Merria has it's own small panthon of gods, but the truth is that almost any deity could be worshiped in that group of islands.

There are also the deities of the Isles of Valus, which are almost exclusive to that group of islands located in the North Sea west of Harqual and north of The Fallenlands.

The island chain known as Ryaith likely has its own unique gods; although, those deities might simply be the deities of Janardûn (or possibly even Kanpur) with altered names.

The Vol Isles west of Triadora and the islands of the Crowded Sea, located south of Kanpur, definitely have unique gods worshiped in those regions. However, those deities might simply be powerful spirits or angels/fiends that have been banished to the Material Plane. Certainly there are a few of these deities that are true gods but sometimes truth means little to people wishing a powerful being's favor.

World of Kulan DM
GODS OF AREK
The Island of Arek has its own unique set of deities that are rarely worshiped anywhere beyond its shores; however, it's not unheard of for these deities to be worshiped elsewhere amongst the Isles of Valossa with different names.
_________________________________________​

Note: I didn't create these deities. These are the deities of the Arekoz Campaign Setting designed for the d20 System by Dark Portal Games. Arekoz was a short lived campaign setting that had one softcover adventure book published for it called White Robes, Black Hearts: Enigma of the Arcanexus. (I co-wrote that adventure with Darrin Drader and Tony Bounds.)

While DPG soon went the way of the Dodo Bird, Arekoz continues to exist on my campaign world in the form of the Island of Arek and several of the other islands that became the Isles of Valossa (combined with the Freeport Campaign Setting).

I have modified the deities somewhat to fit them into the World of Kulan. They have the same names as done for Arekoz, but they are slowly becoming integrated into my campaign setting.

World of Kulan DM
GODS OF FREEPORT
Ever since the first hardcover book came out, I've had Freeport as a part of World of Kulan. And it was a simple choice to put that city and the Serpent's Teeth near the Island of Arek since the Arekoz Campaign Setting included Freeport as port o' call on its world map.

Now that I have the Pirate's Guide to Freeport (and the d20 Freeport Companion), I've updated the gods I'm going to use for Freeport to include the revised list in the two books. However, I've modified that list for my own purposes and included several other deities.
