List of Dungeons & Dragons deities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of deities of Dungeons & Dragons, including all of the current gods and powers of the "Core Setting" for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Because the Core Setting is based on the World of Greyhawk, the Greyhawk gods list contains most of the deities listed here, and many more.

Five categories of deities are listed here:

  1. Core powers - Deities presented in the Player's Handbook 3.5th edition or substantially introduced in the other two core books (Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual). Most of these deities are worshipped by humans. There is a subset within this category called Additional Deities which has deities not mentioned in the core rulebooks but instead in supplements and as such considered additions to the core category.
  2. Alternate human pantheons - This lists the pantheons and the deities within them that are presented in the supplement book Deities and Demigods. Most are based upon real-life mythology.
  3. Demihuman powers - This refers to deities worshipped by core races besides humans (such as elves and dwarves).
  4. Monster powers - This refers to the deities of the monstrous races intended as enemies of the players rather than player races. Whether they should be considered true deities or not is debated.
  5. Non-deity powers - These beings would fit into the previous category, but are not actually deities, plus most of them aren't the patron of a specific monstrous race. This includes the demon princes and archdevils as well as some other godlike beings.

Note that there is some overlap between the categories. Most of the head deities of the demihuman pantheons, such as Corellon Larethian and Moradin, for example, are both obviously demihuman powers but are also mentioned in the Player's Handbook and as such core powers as well. Hence they appear on both lists.

Contents

[edit] Second edition and prior

Before third edition, there was no Core Setting, so the distinctions above are not as clear-cut. For the most part, materials which did not specify a setting were assumed to be at least compatible with the World of Greyhawk if not outright parts of the canon. As such, those prior materials are covered in the setting-specific lists of deities.

[edit] Core deities

There are over 100 deities in the Greyhawk setting, and when creating Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition Wizards of the Coast selected a subset to become iconic deities. They selected and altered deities to correspond to "iconic" aspects of core D&D. Most core deities are human deities; except for the chief gods of the demihuman races. Certain aspects of the deities were altered to make them more generic - for example: the "Core" Heironeous favors the longsword (in order to make the favored weapon of the "God of Chivalry" more traditionally knight-like), as contrasted with the original "Greyhawk" Heironeous, who favors the battleaxe.

The designation of "greater" vs. "intermediate" comes from the Greyhawk setting, and is not used in the Player's Handbook, but it is used in other v3.5 Edition materials.

[edit] Greater deities

  • Ehlonna, goddess of forests, woodlands, flora & fauna, and fertility.[1] [2]

[edit] Lesser deities

[edit] Additional deities

Although not listed in the Players Handbook, these deities are listed as part of the default D&D pantheon in new works and as such are regarded as additions to the default pantheon. Although some of these originally come from the Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms campaign settings, and the Mockery from Eberron, each one is mentioned at some point in a non-setting-specific source. The name in brackets next to each one specifies the source they are mentioned in.

[edit] Alternate human pantheons

The supplement book Deities and Demigods presents human pantheons different from the core pantheon to be used instead. Most of these are based upon actual-life religions and mythologies. These alternate pantheons are not really intended to exist alongside the core or other pantheons; instead to be used for specific settings in which they are the only deities (although in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, the Pharaonic pantheon, called in the setting the Mulhorandi pantheon, does coexist with the other, fictional deities of the setting.)

[edit] Monster deities

Monster deities refers to the gods of the monstrous races; in other words, those of races that are primarily to fight and are not generally intended as player characters. It should be noted that most of these beings are not actually gods. The dividing line between a god-like being and a true god in the D&D cosmology really seems to be the ability to grant divine spells to cleric worshipers and other divine casters. Most of the beings listed below are actually just very powerful extra-planar beings, though many have designs on godhood.[2]

Evil-aligned fey venerate a dark, corrupted version of the Seelie Court called the Unseelie Court. This consists of only one member, who was exiled from the Seelie Court due to her evil ways:

The single unifying feature of all demon lords (also called demon princes) is the control of one of the infinite layers of The Abyss. Only the first 666 layers of The Abyss are generally known, and of those only a small fraction of the princes of those layers are a part of the D&D cosmology.

Talisid
the most powerful of Leonals. Spends most of his time on Amoria, the topmost layer of Elysium.
Vhara
the duchess of the Equinals, resides on Amoria.

[edit] Archomentals

Archomentals are powerful exemplary beings of the Elemental Planes and the rulers of the elementals. Although they are not truly rulers of their planes, archomentals like to consider themselves as much and often grant themselves regal titles like Prince or Princess. They are compared in the source material to the archfiends or celestial paragons, and are considered to be the elemental equivalent of such beings.

[edit] Evil Archomentals

The evil archomentals are collectively known as the Princes of Elemental Evil. The five most famous are:

  • Cryonax, prince of evil cold creatures.
  • Imix, prince of evil fire creatures.
  • Ogrémoch, prince of evil earth creatures.
  • Olhydra, princess of evil water creatures.
  • Yan-C-Bin, prince of evil air creatures.

[edit] Good Archomentals

The good archomentals are collectively known as the Elemental Princes of Good. The five most famous are:

  • Ben-Hadar, prince of good water creatures.
  • Chan, princess of good air creatures.
  • Entemoch and Sunnis, prince and princess of good earth creatures.
  • Zaaman Rul, prince of good fire creatures.

[edit] Archomentals of Uncertain Alignment

Three other archomentals are mentioned in Manual of the Planes (TSR, 1987). Only their names and planes are given; it is unknown if they are evil or good.

  • Bwimb, prince of ooze creatures.
  • Chlimbia, prince of magma creatures.
  • Ehkahk, prince of smoke creatures.

[edit] Slaad Lords

The Slaad Lords are the de-facto rules of the Slaadi race and the plane of Limbo. Though true to their chaotic nature they often do not appear anything like other Slaadi.

  • Chourst, lord of randomness.
  • Rennbuu, lord of colors.
  • Ssendam, lord of madness.
  • Wartle, domain unknown.
  • Ygorl, lord of entropy.

[edit] Titans

"Titans are closer to the well spring of life and thus experience more pronounced emotion including Deity-like fits of rage. in ages past some rebelled against the deities themselves..." these two sentences, from the monster manual 3.5 edition, indicate that they are strong enough to challenge the deities and thus deserve mention as a significant non-deity power.

[edit] The Lady of Pain

The Lady of Pain is an enigmatic being who oversees the city of Sigil in the plane of the Outlands. Almost nothing is known about her; her origin, her race, her motives and her level of power are all obscure. She is shown at times; however, to have absolutely immense power. In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, the creator of the world is Ao, an overgod. He and other overgods do not tolerate mortal worshippers. The Lady of Pain, likewise, refuses to tolerate worshippers, killing those who do worship her, and as such she may also be an overgod. As Sigil supposedly lies at the center of the multiverse; the Lady of Pain may indeed be the creator of the multiverse, the ruler of absolutely everything, and the most powerful being on this entire list. Then again; she may not be; she may only be a non-deity power on par with the mere demon lords and celestial paragons described above. Again; virtually nothing is known about her.

[edit] Vestiges

These entities are outside the boundary of life, death, and undeath.
