The pantheon
Every god the books have named, by tier. The full pantheon page adds the family graph, the sponsors and the mythology.
The pantheon
- Grull war · first named book 1 — The god of war: child of Taranis and Apito, a trueborn heir to the Celestial Ascendency with 'an angry streak as long as a horse's cock', worshipped by donkeys and other equine creatures, and by mantaurs such as Gore-Gore. Level 250, sanctum-tier. Carl's gauntlet starts a summoning by accident on the Iron Tangle and later summons him on purpose through a mantaur vessel; Prince Maestro of the Skull Empire sponsors him and drove him in the Death Challenge.
- Eris chaos · first named book 1 — Goddess of Chaos, who by the Krakaren's card wants nothing to do with the collective; one of 'the big ones' the Cookbook says are always sponsored.
- Apito the oak; mother of all gods · first named book 2 — The Oak Mother, 'the mother of all gods', worshipped by the elves — including the banished doomsday sect on the third floor who took a skyfowl for her angel and Donut for her antichrist, the Oak Fell. Mother of Grull by Taranis; the elf mothers left Nekhebit for her. The Cookbook counts her among 'the big ones', always sponsored.
- Mana Genita lost children · first named book 3 — 'A pretty obscure one' — the goddess of Donut's Enchanted Tiara of Mana Genita, made 'in honor of all the lost children of the world', which removes the automatic hostility of her worshippers. Mordecai has never met her: 'There's thousands of them. Gods, I mean.'
- Nekhebit vultures; the scavenger mother · first named book 3 — 'The long-forgotten goddess Nekhebit is both jealous and terrible': when the elf mothers abandoned her for Apito she cursed the high elf court's seed, which is the Fae Diaspora — every elf and fairy breed. Katia's Enchanted Repeating Crossbow of the Scavenger Mother of Mothers, female-only, was her gift to her last faithful guardian.
- Taranis thunder · first named book 3 — A god named once, on Grull's level-250 card: the father of Grull by Apito, who 'worries his son may not be the best choice to rule the heavens'.
Demons 1
- Kimaris a demon · first named book 2 — A charred glass case from Miss Quill's collection in the magistrate's office, holding a plush armoured man on a black horse, tagged Kimaris: the most valuable thing in Carl's inventory when it is sorted by value.
Creatures of the pantheon 1
- Cerberus gate guardian · first named book 2 — Named in a system joke about the great gate guardians of history and myth, beside Heimdall and a Soviet goalkeeper.
Figures of doctrine and stage 1
- The Oak Fell Apito's antichrist · first named book 2 — The elves' tree goddess and her antichrist. Three separate stories about angels, an oakwood anklet from a dead crawler, and a cat with an award-winning derriere become, in the minds of nine city elves, the end of days. Mordecai says this is twelfth-floor stuff.
Names not yet placed 1
- The Night Wyrm suffering · first named book 3 — A name on a ring: the Enchanted Night Wyrm's Ring of Divine Suffering, Frank Q's revenge, 'for the discerning Crawler Killer', whose owners, Mordecai says, are the first the sixth-floor hunters track down.
