Every god in D&D...ever

[Alzrius]

There is a god missing from the pdf. In the Evermeet Novel there was a god Herne, Lord of the Wild Hunt, who was slain by Malar. I don't know if he has stats or is mentioned anywhere else but thought I would mention it to you.

Thanks for the obscure reference, but that's not missing from the PDF; it simply doesn't belong there in the first place. Note that, under the section at the top, it has a set of what is not covered on the list, and that includes "referenced" deities - deities that only have their name dropped, with (virtually) no other information given. This'd fall under that category.

Ah, cool. That explains it. I went to the gods list to research him and was surprised to find him not there. The gods list is sort of the master list of all canon gods, so that is usually the first place I go to begin research on obscure deities.

Maybe someday they will flesh out Herne a little more in a source somewhere and then he will merit his own entry in the list.

Comments like that make it all worthwhile.

The Gods List has updated today for White Dwarf magazine #55 - "The Gods of the Shapelings", with four new greater deities. Pick up your copy Do it - you know you want to...

Lurue is also mentioned in Dragon magazine #54 - "Down-to-earth divinity," this time as a lesser goddess. She's in the "Cults of the Beast" section. The gods_list document misses that reference.

The goddess called Benten in Dragon #13 is called Benzaiten in 2nd edition Legends & Lore, where she is listed as one of the Shichifukujin. She is the only one of the Seven Gods of Luck to get a name change between Dragon #13 and Legends & Lore.

To be clear, the Seven Gods of Luck were listed in Dragon #13 as: Hotei, Jurojin, Fukrokujo, Bishamon, Daikoku, Ebisu, and Benten. The Shichifukujin were listed in 2e Legends & Lore as Hotei, Jurojin, Fukurokujo, Bishamon, Benzaiten, Daikoku, and Ebisu.

As Benten, she is the goddess of luck, the sea, literature, wealth, and romantic happiness. As Benzaiten she is the goddess of happiness through love.

I'm trying to figure out how I miss this thread when it first came out so long ago. Great job!

yeah, there were quite a few changes between 1E and 2E dieties Re: Legends & Lore...

Somehow, three gods from Dragon #287 were missed. Hypnatia, Phobetor, and Phantasia all get full descriptions on page 36 of the issue.

Grr. for some reason, work classifies Planewalker as a pornography site, so I can't see it.

Can anyone send me the file at jdyal at wowway dot com by any chance?

Much appreciated.
