Every god in D&D...ever

Thasmudyan, a baatezu god of ghouls and the Cult of Worms, (no connection to Kyuss,) is missing from the list. He appeared in the 2e Necromancer's Handbook.

You forgot Murdane and Valigan Thirdborn, both presented in Faiths&Pantheons.

And Bes is in Forgotten Realms, but is an aspect of Vergadain.

Thasmudyan is on the list, just not by that name. Careful reading of The Complete Book of Necromancers will show that he is, in fact, the deity called The Lord of the Undead. However, as I explained in the list, only aliases that are plainly listed are likewise called out on the list.

They weren't forgotten, they simply didn't have enough information to be included. Both fall under the "Referenced deities" section outlined at the beginning of the document.

And Bes is in Forgotten Realms, but is an aspect of Vergadain.

As I said in the beginning part of the list, the minor aliases listed in the Faiths & Pantheons books were the sort that I was overlooking, simply because there were so many of them, but with so little impact. I may rethink that in the future, since cases like this one do have some merit (though Vergadain and Bes are still two separate, distinct deities).

I took that to be his title, and not his actual name, (like the titles in On Hallowed Ground.) Still, great work, and a boon to all of us! Thanx!

it sounds more like a title than a name...

It may be, but that was what his entry in the book called him...it's only by doing a close reading of other parts of the supplement that you even realize that "The Lord of Undead" is Thasmudyan. As such, listing his entry in the Gods List as Thasmudyan (or even as an alias) could create more confusion than it dispels.

On a different topic, I was talking to someone about D&D gods at Gen Con, and they asked me something that stopped me cold. "Are there any evil elven gods that aren't drow gods?" I've catalogued almost 1,200 deities, and I couldn't think of one! Anyone have any possible candidates?

Honesty, there are none known in the D&D cosmology. With the 26+ known Olven deites, the majority are in the Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic Good catergory.

Shevarash has a dark streak within him, but only to Drow. But he is not 'evil'.

But this knowledge reference is from D&D material only, not third-party.

New update is up here.

Just to clarify, the new update consists of a single deity, Shami-Amourae, a succubus demigoddess from Dungeon #5, "The Stolen Power".

The next update will come shortly (hopefully), for the demigod Cas from Heroes of Horror.
