Some discussions on the Piazza made me think about how many of the deities in the D20 DAB Sourcebook are very similar. Could they be the same god with different names according to the culture worshipping them? This list may be controversial, since I have been quite determined to merge various deities:

Baldin (NG)
Baldin, the patron of poets is only worshipped under that name, though in the future he will be known as Guidarezzo or Bragi.

Fronaus (N)
Fronaus is known as Raelralataen to the Peshwa. In the future he will be known as Ka or Bahamut.

Hersh (CN)
Hersh the trickster is only known by this name, though in the future he will be known as Korotiku.

Henrin (LG)
Henrin is known as Pathmeer to Dwarves and Gnomes. In other parts of the world he is known as Utnapishtim.

Kadis (N)
Kadis is known as Ferros to the Elves. Dwarves and Gnomes know him as Hemgrid. In the future he will be called Kagyar.

Khoronus (LN)
Khoronus is not known by any other name at this time.

Mwajin (NG)
Mwajin is known as Hydros to the elves. In the future he will be known as Protius or Manwara.

Odir (LG)
Odir is known to the elves as Aeros. Dwarves know him as Dhummon. Gnomes as Charis. Peshwah know him as Hak. In the future he will be known as Odin or Wotan.

Pacuun (CG)
Pacuun and Sollus are actually the same individual. The deity the elves know as Fiumarra is also the same individual though humans and elves disagree on the deity's gender. In the future this deity will be known as Ixion or Solarios.


Phellia (NG)
Phellia, lover of Pacuun is also Tilla, patroness of the Docrae. In the future she will be known as Valerias.

Sacwyhne (CG)
Sacwyhne is known to Dwarves and Gnomes as Kela. In the future she will be known as Tyche.

Temrin (dead)
Temrin was killed by Thanatos, but as a patron of Time, he may still appear in different periods that he travelled to before his death. Elsewhere he is known as Fugit.

Elgath
Elgath is known as Faunus or Sylvian by the elves. In the future the name Faunus will be the name he is best known by. Rumours that this deity is associated with the Egg of Coot are false.

Tyrhm
In this age, Tyrhm is mainly known by this name. He is a patron of Skandaharians and Frost Giants.

Thanatos (NE)
Thanatos is only known by this name and feared by all.

Hella
Hella is normally known by this name. In the future she will be known as Hel.


Volketh (CE)
Volketh is known as Gorrim by Dwarves and Gnomes. Peshwa know him as Calelrin. In the future he will be known as Arik.


Zugzul (Afridhi Pantheon) (LE)
Zugzul is best known by this name.

Brr'bb't
Brr'bb't is also known as The Frog or Tsauthoggua. In the future some will call him Stodos.

Chamber (NE)
Chamber is only known by this name. In the future she will be replaced by the Pearl Dragon.

Insellageth (NG)
Insellageth is known by this name only. In the future he will be replaced by the Diamond Dragon.

Tsartha (N)
Tsartha is known by this name only. In the future she will be replaced by the Opal Dragon.

Io
Io the Great Dragon is absent from Blackmoor. In the future he will be known as the Great One.

Hadeen
Hadeen is a deceased god, known by no other name.

Dealth
Dealth is an elven deity. In the future she will be known as Verthandi.

Ordana
Ordana the forest mother is another elven deity. She will always be known by this name.

Terra
The elven deity Terra is known by the dwarves and gnomes as Shau. In the future the name Terra will be the one most used.

Korzuun
The dwarven deity known as Korzuun is known to the Peshwa as Yoosef. In the future he will be known as Ssu-Ma.

Mieroc
Mieroc is the patron of Gnome inventors. In the future he will be known as Garal.

Calelrin
Evil deity from the Peshwah Pantheon. In the future he will be known as Cretia.




References to "the future" refer to Mystara sources. While "merging" deities may be problematic, I actually like a smaller list especially since many of the portfolios of these deities overlap anyway.

I have removed the suggested link between Tyrm and Demogorgon. It just seemed too forced.

Demogorgon is still around in the Blackmoorian age, but perhaps not so involved with the affairs in the North, focusing instead on lizard-races elsewhere...

Updated the first post to include Calelrin and Hak, the latter as the Peshwah name for Odir.

Its a really useful list Havard, and condenses even more when the "future" gods are taken out. For the gods whose alignment you have left out, does that info exist? I'm thinking of trying to break the list into the FFC style Greater Gods and Dark Lords.
