Alternate Earth Deities

By Simon E. Phipp Copyright © 2002, 2005 Simon E. Phipp

One of the main characteristics of RuneQuest is that it has many deities and pantheons, each deity with its own spells and sklls. In the world of Glorantha, these deities are well known from supplements and websites, but the deities of Alternate Earth have not been written up, as a whole. Some Germanic deities were included in the Vikings pack and a few people have a few deities on their websites, but generally pantheons of deities are missing.

Here, I have tried to write up some of the deities of the Ancient World. So far, I have included deities from the Celtic, Germanic, British and Irish pantheons and hope to include more later, such as the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Please note that I am not well versed in these myths, although I have a passing interest in mythology and ancient history, so some of my interpretations will be wrong, if you find any mistakes then please let me know.

The deities are listed in alphabetical order, with a sketch format giving a short description, skills list, spirit magic spell list, divine magic spell list and a divine spirit possession ability if you use the rules for worship without Godi from Vikings. Many of these deities have far richer myths than I have here, please look them up on the internet or in reference books. It might be worth expanding these to a full RQ cult, but that would only be useful in an ongoing campaign. In most cases, I do not include the pantheon the deity belongs to, although it strikes me that this would be a useful addition. I will try to add this as a line beneath the description.

Some of the deities here have been given a desription but no detail, that is because I have not managed to find out what functions these deities perform. Some are simply people that I have included for reference. Some of the spirits or creatures have been given deity breakdowns, but I will probably change these to give sample special abilities.

This is designed for use with the Pantheons and Spells pages. Each Pantheon has links to deities on this page. Each cult here has links to spells and skills on the Spells page. Where a link has not been included, it is either because I have missed it or have not created the detail on the other page. I will be coming back to this time and time again to add links, write up new spells and skills and add new deities. However, because writing up pantheons is a hellish task, it will take me quite a while to add many new things.
