GODS & DEITIES
GODS & DEITIES
A comprehensive chart follows this paragraph detailing all known Gods, their titles, divine ranks and other important information. It should be noted that not all Arkuthian gods are listed below, I have compiled only the ones that exist within Arkuth's pantheon and thus these are the only gods/deities available for worship by PC's, NPC's and/or intelligent monsters.

his or her priests. A sphere followed by a “*” indicates only minor access is allowed to that sphere.
- PW: special powers commonly granted to priests by the deity. A
number followed before a power indicates that the listed power is
granted when the priest reaches that level. Unless otherwise indicated, these powers may be used once per day. For example, “10) raise dead” means that at tenth level, the priest is granted the ability to raise dead once per day.
