Book of the Righteous Gods, seen by different cultures

[LoneWolf23]

Ok, my campaign world is going to use tbe deities from BOTR, but I'm using a Pseudo-Medieval Earth campaign world, with cutures based on real-world cultures like medieval europe, Viking Norsemen, Arabian lands, etc. I plan on making the BOTR the main, most potent gods of the campaign world, but I also want to give them different lenses based on various cultures throughout the world. Terak could be seen as a Thor-like thundergod by my pseudo-norse, for exemple, while a pseudo-japanese culture would see him as a true Samurai Warlord instead.

Could be a good excuse for adding additional gods tailored to different cultures, possibly as children of the original gods born to people from that culture, ascending to the rank of gods and serving as emissaries to the Old Gods..

Got any suggestion, guys?

You could introduce the concept of cults, or factions. Like, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Mormonism, or Methodism, and Catholicism are all facets of Christianity, but yet have very different fundamental beliefs.

You could even make some of them hate each other to spice things up a bit.

Not quite what I was thinking, actually. What I'd like are some ideas as to how the default pantheon of Book of the Righteous (which I'll consider the Greco-Roman version) would look like if it was seen through cultural lenses such as the Egyptian Pharaonic Culture, or the Norse Viking culture.
