Here’s a reference sheet of the deities in my campaign taking place on the supercontinent of Sauria. The people of Sauria primarily worship a pantheon of nine deities, one of each alignment, though there are four additional deities outside the pantheon.
Each god is represented by a powerful divine creature known as a Deus.



All members of the pantheon grant access to the Scalykind (Saurian) subdomain.


Koloss represents the sovereignty of the saurian gods. He is the god of stone and earth. Most believers think the great central mountain range of Sauria is the sleeping body of their lord.
Koloss instructs those in power to rule wisely, and in the best interest of their people, but also wishes all to respect those in authority over them.
Deus: Titanosaur
Domains: Law, Good, Community, Earth, Glory, Healing, Repose
Subdomains: Sovereignty, Home, Petrification, Legend, Restoration
Favored Weapon: Sling



Old boneskin is the patron god of most healers. He teaches all to do whatever they can to help others, though never at the cost of personal safety.
Deus: Ankylosaurus
Domains: Good, Earth, Healing, Strength, Protection
Subdomains: Metal, Medicine, Resolve, Fortification
Favored Weapon: Greatclub



Pathmaker is the god of exploration. Followers of Pathmaker love to break new ground and discover the world around them, both physically and intellectually. They believe their purpose is to go off on grand adventures with the goal of one day returning home to share their newfound knowledge with their people.
Deus: Triceratops
Domains: Good, Chaos, Community, Glory, Knowledge, Liberation, Travel

Domains: Charm, Healing, Knowledge, Luck, Magic
Subdomains: Captivation, Resurrection, Memory, Fate, Rites

Followers of the unbridled do as they please, never letting any laws or moral obligations stand in their way. Their god delights in havoc and wanton destruction. Tark is also the god of rivalry, as competition between rivals leads to great strength.

Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Liberation, Strength, War
Subdomains: Riot, Catastrophe, Revolution, Competition, Duels
Favored Weapon: Mere Club



Triad teaches their followers to treat their close friends well at the expense of all others. Triad is known as the most cunning of the gods, as raptors are the most cunning of dinosaurs.

Domains: Law, Evil, Artifice, Community, Knowledge, Nobility, Trickery, War
Subdomains: Tyranny, Industry, Cooperation, Thought, Leadership, Deception, Tactics

It that lurks is the god of ambushes and betrayal. His worshippers are only out for themselves, and are always waiting for the opportune time to strike.

The Devourer is a mindless being of insatiable hunger. His followers are mostly a loose collection of petty thugs and greedy tyrants. The Devourer demands sacrifice from the truly devout.

Subdomains: Rage, Ash, Ferocity, Blood
Favored Weapon: Unarmed Strike




The following gods are outside of the main pantheon, and worship of them is mostly restricted to certain regions.




The innermost depths of the Great Jungle have never been seen by mortal eyes. The Heart of the Jungle is the very essence of that dense wilderness given form and deified. It is widely revered throughout the jungle, even by worshipers of other gods.
Deus: Dragonfly
Domains: Animal, Community, Healing, Madness, Magic, Plant, Protection, Water
Subdomains: Insect, Home, Medicine, Insanity, Divine, Growth, Purity, Rivers

The following gods are outside the main pantheon, should not be known by players, and have ties to the story.




The Forgotten was once a member of the saurian pantheon, but was displaced by Triad with the help of It that Lurks. Once a god of oceans, as his name and nature faded from memory he became something new and twisted. His worship has recently begun anew, and the god is now one of death, amnesia and decay.

Subdomains: Entropy, Plague, Loss, Undead, Memory, Curse, Saurian, Isolation, Oceans

Deus: Unkown
Domains: Chaos, Air, Animal, Artifice, Knowledge, Liberation, Luck, Madness, Travel, Weather
Subdomains: Lightning, Feather, Alchemy, Revolution, Imagination, Truth, Trade, Seasons
Favored Weapon: Longbow

Looks like a fun pantheon. Are you playing all saurials or are there humans too?

Yes, quite funny pantheon. Strangelly the more the list goes from Koloss to The Devourer the more the appaerance of the Deus looks like something from the Zallinger's paintings in my mind.
