74 Additional Gods

Compiled by Telgar
-----------------------------------------------------

Foreword

This collection of Gods comes from many sources. It does include canon gods that are found outside their
normal Pantheon listings in the Hero Book. Such Gods have page references for more information. Only
members of canon-established Pantheons are listed here. For sub-Pantheons and Fan-Written Pantheons, I
suggest checking out those documents directly, or the Expanded Quick Reference PDF.

Grammar and spelling have been checked and the entries standardizes to a single format. Aside from that,
the only changes have been removing references to non-canon material.

Thanks to all the authors for writing all these great Gods and putting them out there for us to use! Credits are
in the back. Some authors were not listed, and go unknown.

is usually accompanied by several large, hairless

a guide through the Underworld. When Quetzalcoatl
journeyed to Mictlán to create the People of the
Fifth Sun out of bones, Xolotl went as well, in order
to create dogs. In exchange for people taking care of
dogs during life, Xolotl decided, dogs would care for
people in the afterlife. Many ancient Mesoamericans
were buried with dogs, to ensure they wouldn’t need
to journey through the Underworld alone.
In modern times, Xolotl has been a wilderness
guide, a seeing eye dog trainer, and an insurance
agent. Like their father, Xolotl’s Scions are typically
humble, long-suffering, and a little scary-- drawn to
roles where they give people important assistance
in times of need, and usually receive no thanks
whatsoever.

Pancika
Though not originally a member of the pantheon,
the spread of Buddhism of China brought
this young god into conflict with the Celestial
Bureaucracy. Like many who found themselves
in a similar situation, Pancika was pulled into
the pantheon and given a place in the hierarchy.
Many are surprised to learn that despite his
Buddhist beliefs, he still maintains his role as a
general. He is a skilled warrior and a leader of
men and demon alike when it is necessary to
put his skills to use. Additionally, the handsome
young god is a patron of fertility and is said to
have fathered over five hundred children in his
time. He is a consort of the Guanyin at times,
though he does not always share her fascination
with peace and mercy.

In the modern times, Pancika is often found


serving as a military leader on the battlefield. His
young features and strong body serve to inspire
his troops, while his sharp mind leads him to
many victories against his enemies. Wherever
he goes, however, he always leaves children in
his wake. He is eager to take shore leave, always
manages to find a young woman to spend time
with, and inevitably leaves her with a child to take
care of.

With the abundance of Pancika’s children in


the World, one would be surprised that he has
so few Scions. The truth of the matter is that
while Pancika is eager to father the children and
procreate, he’s not exactly an ideal father. He’s
distant at best, neglectful and ignorant of his
child’s existance at worst. What few Scions of his
are Visited often grow to resent their father for
his absences, often latching onto other gods who
serve as guides and fill the void. Often, however,
this neglectful attitude leads his children to be
adopted by other gods of Celestial Bureaucracy or
even of other pantheons.
