* Imprisoned on another plane. Clerics of these deities cannot access spells higher than 2nd level.

The “Origin” category shows which ethnic group that the deity is usually associated or originated with. The classifications are as follows:

B: Baklunish

C: Commonly accepted

E: Elven

F: Flan

H: Humanoid

O: Oerdian

S: Sueloise

U: Unknown/mysterious origin

A lower case “c” indicates that the deity in question is less commonly accepted and worshipped, but still widely known. Deities that are not commonly accepted (no “C” or “c”) are worshipped primarily in areas settled by the listed ethnic group. Some deities have very limited worship, but might be widely known; this is particularly true of extremely evil gods such as Tharizdun.

While it is true that good-aligned powers generally support one another and evil powers tend to conflict with all others, some especially strong divisions and alliances are known to exist:

Conflicts (violence on sight):

Tharizdun vs. Everyone

St. Cuthbert vs. Iuz

Heironeous vs. Hextor

Rao vs. Iuz

Antipathy (rivalries short of war):

St. Cuthbert vs. Pholtus

Ehlonna vs. Obad-Hai

Fortubo vs. other Suel deities

Wee Jas vs. chaotic Suel deities

Trithereon vs. lawful deities

Alliances:

Boccob + Zagyg (servant of Boccob)

Pelor + Mayaheine (servant of Pelor)

Celestian + Fharlanghn (brothers)

Ulaa + Bleredd (married)

Norebo + Wee Jas (lovers)

Pelor + Rao (allies)

Rao + Zilchus (allies)

Beory + Ehlonna (allies)

Beory + Ulaa (allies)

Fortubo + Moradin and Berronar (allies)

Ehlonna + Seldarine elven deities (allies)

Wee Jas + lawful Sueloise deities (loose allies)

Osprem + Xerbo (loose allies)

Jascar + Phaulkon (loose allies)

Pyremius + Syrul (loose allies)

Nerull + Incabulos (loose allies)

In addition, it should be noted that all of the Sueloise deities despise the Elreddi Empire due to its destruction of the Scarlet Brotherhood, a Sueloise nation. As a result, worship of Sueloise deities is exceedingly rare in the Empire, no matter their alignment.
