Dakarnok is the god of (from what I can interpret) causing havoc among humanoids (especially gnomes). It strikes me that this is a god that kobolds want to emulate, even if they can't (they seem more like trap-makers than run-amokers).I'm going to go with 7, just because korred seem like a minor race, and because they have since gotten another deity (Damh) that seems to be doing just as good a job.Ravanna was also in Dragon #326 in "The Ecology of the Rakshasa". That aside, I'd guestimate his DvR as being a solid 8. He's got enough worshippers and power to be solidly in his current rank, but nowhere near enough (possibly also from opposition from other gods such as Vishnu) to climb to Intermediate deity.DvR 18. He's a pantheon head, but it's a minor pantheon, relatively speaking, which is why I'm not saying 19.I'd say 5 here. Maitak seems like he'd be popular with the fey uldra. This is just my vague recollection of the article though.DvR 9, for the same reasons as above.I'm going to say 6, since this god just seems like he's being replaced almost totally by Syranita.For Araleth, I'd say 7, since the elves seem like they'd venerate the sun as part of nature. For Kirith, DvR 8, since elves love magic, and divination seems right up their alley. The same thing applies to Melira and the fine arts, so 8 also. Naris seems more like a 7 to me, since the end of life isn't something they'd seem to want to think about, no matter how much he eases it for them. Tarsellis is a 6 I'd say, since the snow elves don't seem numerous enough to maintain anything more than that. As for Rillifane. I'd give him a solid 15, since not only is he the patron of a major subrace, but also the nature that elves love.None of these gods are particularly well detailed in the article that gave us their names and portfolios. Since they'd likely kill one of their number that seemed to weaken any, I'd say they're all DvR 8.Seems like a 6 to me. Frost sprites are rare, and other elves just don't seem to need that much protection from the elements.Seems like a 4 to me. If it was just bladesingers, I'd go with 3, but since all elves seem to know how to use a sword, he'd probably be a bit more popular.A solid 2. To me, any god that is the patron of a race, but the race is very minor, is a 2 unless there are other circumstances. As I recall, Mythrien is searching for an artifact that would let him get his lost divine ranks back to make it back to lesser god. I'd put him at a 5 for that.Sarula seems like a 3 to me, since nixies and water magic are minor, but not so much as to be forgotten.Darahl was a lesser deity until he touched an artifact (the something Rose) that drove his avatar into a killing frenzy, and he lost popularity because of that. He's trying to remake his image with his current name and such. I'd put him at a 4, but not quite back up to being a 5 yet.Alathrien is the elven demigoddess of some rather esoteric forms of magic. I'd put her at a 2, and the only reason it isn't a 1 is because she has conjuration in there.Definately a 5. While this seems to fly in the face of what I said about patrons of a minor race, I'd say the scro aren't so minor. They completely rule their crystal sphere and their world. In essence, there's an entire solar system of scro that worship no one other than Dukagsh. He'd probably be a much stronger deity, except that the scro have only been around for two hundred fifty years or so (since Dukagsh died as a mortal).A 6, as he's even lesser than Krocaa.I'd say 3, just because bullywugs seem not quite as rare as some of the other races listed here.All 2, for the above reasons.This god seems more like an 8 at least, since mountan giants aren't so easily discounted.I'd give Klaag a 1, because for one thing, it says many grimlocks worship other evil powers. It also mentions that he's a daemon (yugoloth) who managed to become a demigod, which seems almost oxymoronic to me...like he somehow went against his nature. Definately a 1.Again, all 2's.</blockquote>
