There is a huge number of gods in the Imperial Pantheon, definitely too many to detail here.
In general, every aspect of life, no matter how minor, is represented by a god in the Imperial Pantheon.
In the words of Comicus, the stand-up philosopher: "You name it, we have a god for it. We have a god for everything...except premature ejaculation. But I hear that's coming very soon."

Re: Borderlands 3 - The Imperial Pantheon
Cygnus, God of Balance
Cygnus is the god of balance between heart and mind, and between right and wrong. He is a patron of both art and science.
He is ever vigilant and always aware of his surroundings, having the power to see a hundred miles by day or night, and to hear grass growing on other planes.
Cygnus lives on a star high above the Godsmount, from which he observes the world.
Holy symbol:
A swan with wings spread, often overlaid by a balance scale.
Duties of the Priesthood
Priests of Cygnus travel frequently, rarely settling in a single location for more than a month. They often serve as judges or arbitrators in major disputes for nobles, or in small local matters for common folk. They also seek to right wrongs, and to rein in rulers who abuse their power. Furthermore, they can be relied upon to provide advice and counsel.
Requirements for Clerics:
ABILITIES: Wisdom and Intelligence must both be over 13. Wisdom or Intelligence over 16 means +5% experience; Wisdom and Strength over 16 means +10% experience.
ALIGNMENT: any Neutral
WEAPONS: short sword, spear, knife, club; Missile weapons are forbidden.
ARMOR: any
Spheres: Major Access to All, Combat, Divination, Protection, Sun; Minor Access to Necromantic, Healing.
Granted Powers: Turn (or Command) undead; Lvl 1) Foremost Steed – Priests of Cygnus tend to travel a lot, and any horse they ride improves in quality, strength, speed, and endurance while being ridden; Lvl 3) Silent Scream – Once per day, a priest of Cygnus can call upon the power of his deity to emit a scream of great power that is felt rather than heard by of all within range (a radius of 10 yards + 2 yards per level). Those within range failing a save are forced to stop whatever they were doing for 1d3 rounds (although if they are attacked they will defend themselves or their allies, and will not be prevented from performing other life-saving actions) and give their attention to the priest. This power can be used to temporarily stop a melee, or quiet an angry mob, or to gain attention; Lvl 5) (to be determined); Lvl 10) (to be determined).
In addition, a priest of Cygnus may cast the opposite form of reversible spells (Cure, Light, etc.) without penalty.
Nonweapon and Weapon Proficiencies:
Nonweapon Proficiencies Required: Riding Land-Based.
Nonweapon Proficiencies Recommended: Healing, Reading/Writing, Religion.
Weapon Proficiencies Required: None.
Nonweapon Proficiency Group Crossovers: Priest, General, Mage.
Duties of the Priest: Adjudication, Guidance, Marriage.
Missions: Priests of Cygnus travel from place to place, rarely staying long in one location, and lend their support to the community at various levels. Note: Priests of this Cygnus rarely build temples, but instead hold consultations outdoors, under the stars.
Allies and Enemies:
Allies:
Aerdus - God of Kings, King of Gods - for Cygnus helps him measure options and make wise decisions.
Athenus - Goddess of wisdom.
Pelorus - God of light, learning and healing
Dionysus - God of wine and parties.
It was a dispute between Pelorus and Dionysus that called Cygnus into being in the first place.
Neutral:
Enemies:
Marus - God of War. War typically represents the failure of reason and balance.
Hextor - God of War. War typically represents the failure of reason and balance.
