An infinite variety of experiences cause a man to pray.  In a polytheistic world, like that of D&D, it’s important to know which god to pray to for what reason.  This can be an easy decision (you want your heist to go well – pray to the god of theives) or a complicated one (your intelligent, magic using mule has acquired a rare disease the night before your big heist – Umm, god of animals?  god of medicine?  god of magic users?  god of theives?).  What happens if you pray to the wrong one?  Does the right one get annoyed and make things worse?

In this campaign world it is not uncommon to hear somebody tell the story of how they saw a particular god appear in such and such a place; or for them to explain some event through an act of the gods.

The gods worshipped here are all the same ones detailed in the core books, with a couple of slight additions to their areas of command.  For the time being I’m going to only detail the Good or Unaligned gods, as these are the ones that you will have the most opportunity to interact with.  You will learn more about the other gods, but that will come through the game itself.

*EDIT* added the gods up to Melora.  I’ll update the remaining 4 when I can.
