   *Summer: Declared sister of the Sun god (she didn't give him any say in the matter).  Long days, siestas, droughts, and deserts.
   *Sun: A bit stuck up, and doesn't care much about people.  He does despise undead, which appears related to a prank by the Trickster god.
-  *Tunnels: Lord of the passages beneath the earth, their flora, their fauna, and their riches.
+  *Tunnels: Lord of the passages beneath the earth, their flora, their fauna, and their riches.  Also beetles: apparently, as an introvert, he found crafting new types of beetles soothing.
-  *Vengeance: This isn't her __first__ job, apparently she was one of the fertility goddesses before something went badly with another god.  Now she's known for her focused rage.  While her power responds to any seeking redress for personal wrongdoing, she has a clear predjudice in favor of women.  The [[t|Tonberries]] call her //Ugghaleppie//.

   *Winter: Ice, cold, snow, and grumpy people.
   *The Wood: Father/mother of forests, trees, and the life within.  One of the first gods to awaken, and also the first to Slumber.

   *Golden Sheaf: Patron of farming, particularly grains.  Also grain-based alcoholic beverages.  Called Retemed in Asteria, Enohpesrep in the Caliphate, and Okami in Yamato.
   *Hope: The 107th divinity.  She has a planet named after her
-  *Joyful Living: also Festivals, Celebrations, and Debauched Weekends, depending on culture.  The dwarves call her Eudemonia.   Rasgrid's patron divinity.

   *Judgement: One of the Death gods.  Originally in charge of assigning afterlife destinations.
   *Justice: Twin brother to the god of Law.  There are as many tales of them squabbling as there are of them vanquishing evil.

   *Madness: Also berserkers, artistic inspiration, rage-based murder, and cheese.  They really like cheese.
   *Making: Patron of craftsmen, purportedly the farther of dwarf-kind.
-  *Mercy: Technically, one of the death gods.  Mercy is driven to reduce suffering, even if that means putting you back on the cycle of reincarnation.
+  *{{ :wiki:veto_zomer_-_the_embrace.jpg?linkonly |Mercy}}: Technically, one of the death gods.  Mercy is driven to reduce suffering, even if that means putting you back on the cycle of reincarnation.
   *Motherhood: originally, the Earth Mother farmed out the general concept of Fertility onto her younger sibling.  In the centuries since the Slumbering Era, mortals have developed a more limited understanding of this goddess.  Another moon goddess.
   *Muse, The: The goddess of Bards, Scholarship, and the Performing Arts in general.

   *Ashtoreth:  Technically not a god.  One of the few known **Devils** to amass a worshiper base large enough to become its own nation.  Depicted as a supremely feminine horned Keshanti, hung like an ogre, and terminally aroused.
   *Belkwyneth Stormcrow: Greater Dragon of Time, the Oncoming Storm, Lapin's Mentor.  Not dead.  An inveterate meddler in the spirit of first series Doctor Who.  Does not take assistants through time, but always knows a //little too much// about what is going on.  Normally garbed in a fashionable long-coat and floppy hat that is just a bit out of fashion.
-  *Blood-God, The: A moderately benign and active minor god with severe hemophila.  Patron of butchers and surgeons, he is fairly generous with his blessings: “Blood for the Blood-God” is the number one preventative measure against wound infection worldwide.  Things only go downhill when you get a cult of his followers who share his proclivities.
+  *Black Sphinx: The Black Quartz Sphinx, Adjudicator of Oaths.  Swearing by him is much like swearing by the river Styx, except oath-breaking leads to a much more direct form of Divine Intervention, of the Permanent sort.  Before the Slumbering, he served as an impartial referee between the major gods, //especially// Law and Justice.

   *Caspian: Sea-foam god of the meeting of Land and Sea, patron of fishermen.
   *{{:wiki:‪looceyloo‬-_goddess_of_the_rising_plume.jpg?linkonly|Censer}}: Goddess of the Rising Plume, Servant of Fire.  Censer is oddly the least volatile of her master's servants, and somehow ended up in charge.  Her relationship with Ifrit only __seems__ casual to the outsider.
