This is where you will find a list of various ancient
gods/goddesses. When creating your character, you can
choose from this list if you wish, however, you do not
have to. I have simply provided this list to make
your character creation a little easier. If you do decide
to go off-list, however, please send me the name of
your deity, as well as the info I have provided here, that
way, I can add them to the list.
