The eighth game is set the heyday of the Roman empire, sometime in the late 100's to early 200's CE. This iteration is notable for an altered metaphysics where the number of worshippers does not effect your strength and miracles directly, instead focusing on ideas such as reciprocity, festivals, sanctuaries, and taboos.

!!Dasos
God of beasts and the untamed wilds.

%%* PlayingWithFire
!!Fedelmid
God of cats and celestial lights.
----
* BornUnlucky: Started in proximity to [[PersonOfMassDestruction Tiamat]], and quickly drew her attention by killing her cultists. Sought refuge in Persia, which is ruled by the demigod Darius whose vassals often end up EatenAlive for his empowerment. Being a vassal of Darius also meant he was obligated to fight in a war against Orubashi, a deity whose enemies have been known to end up EatenAlive as well. As such, he fled to Egypt and in doing so lost most of his followers who were unwilling to leave their homes.

%%* SapientCetaceans
* SeaMonster: A big part of his army. They can also fly.
!!K'var
God of the Dead and Shadows, first turned up in Ethiopia.
----
* BatOutOfHell: K'var himself often appears with bat wings and ears, but they are also one of his two most sacred animals. Almost a literal "bat out of hell" is Demaris, a giant bat guardian that exists in K'vars' afterlife, the Shadowlands.
* DarkIsNotEvil: A shadowy death god, but so far quite nice when he's not provoked.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Of a flaming variety when ticked off.
!!Kypselia
God of bees, war, and wisdom.
----
* BeeAfraid: His sacred animal, one which he has bred into particularly virulent varieties.
* TheOmniscient: More or less. Acquired this by absorbing the powers of Thoth (with his agreement). Unfortunately, Thoth had suppressed certain knowledge about Nyarlathotep (lest he GoMadFromTheRevelation), so he's NotSoOmniscientAfterAll.
* WarGod: Of the [[TheStrategist Strategist]] variety.
!!Liegou
A trickster deity associated with weather and darkness.
----
%%* TheBeastmaster: Specifically for hyenas.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Associated with darkness, but a nice deity once you get to know her.
* GodIsFlawed: Liegou is a flawed deity (like all deities in the game, excluding the Grinding).
!!Merchan
A god of money and trade.
----
* FictionalCurrency: The "Merchoin", minted in his honor
%%* GoldSilverCopperStandard: Replace copper with bronze.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Has been silent for a long time, though the popularity of his currency keeps him alive.
* HeroicDolphin: His sacred animal, used to guide merchant ships out of storms and rescue sailors
!!Mote-Maiyeisha
Goddess of [[TheUndead undeath]].

* DreamWeaver: He has the ability to create dreams, also often referred to in the game as 'Dreamdancer' or 'Knitter of Dreams'.

* TalkingInYourDreams: He can communicate with his subjects via dreams and the realm of the subconscious.
* VisionQuest: What his prophet experienced when they first interacted.
* YourWorstNightmare: His power over dreams matches that over nightmares too.
!!Ollphéist
God of the wilderness and stories.

%%* CallToAgriculture
* DontGoInTheWoods: Currently attempting to avert this, by making its worshipers less afraid of nature.
* FullBoarAction: Ollphéist's first symbolic animal.
* GaiasVengeance: Ollphéist's main deal; it feels that it must fight for nature (in particular, woods and forests).
%%* GreenThumb
%%* NatureSpirit: Duh.

God of the Moon, Nature, and Cycles.

God of earth, stone, and soil.

* ThisIsntHeaven: His first afterlife after [[MadGod Lysso]] smuggled himself in. He was careful to install an AfterlifeAntechamber on the second version to prevent a repeat occurrence.
* ThreateningShark: Thekasios' sacred animal is the shark, though it is only threatening to his enemies and is actually used as a mount by his prophets, priests, and holy warriors. Also present in the form of his SeaMonster, overlapping with {{Megalodon}}.
* WeatherManipulation: Specifically the ability to summon storms. Most frequently employed as HostileWeather or as WeatherOfWar.
!!Thoumm
God of luck, weather, and fertility.
----
* BerserkButton: When [[spoiler:Tiamat attacked Crete, home island of the Five,]] Thoumm was the first to speak against her, because she was killing all the humans he loved.
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: [[PrettyButterflies Butterflies]] are his holy animal, and are believed to be the souls of the kindly dead.

!!Yam-Apep
God of truth and magic.
----
* DisabledDeity: [[spoiler: After his fight with Tiamat, and subsequent repair by Vulcan.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Helped the Egyptian pantheon defeat Set, not realizing that Set was [[SaltTheEarth Salting the Earth]] so as to [[DontWakeTheSleeper Not Wake the Sleeper]].
* PhysicalGod: A major part of his character development was gaining human form, primarily so that he could [[DivineDate marry his prophetess]].

%%* GodEmperor: Self-styled.

%%* YourSoulIsMine: This is how most demigods work in the setting.
!!Lysso
One of the earliest NPC gods introduced. Has repeatedly screwed over various people, including the Italians, Thekasios and the Five. Also known as Kuriosolinus (Lysso is more of an alias).
----
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Lysso doesn't know the meaning of politics or morality.
%%* TheCorrupter: He played this role with Darius.
%%* ItAmusedMe: Most of his actions follow this.
%%* MadGod: Obviously.
%%!!Nyarlathotep
%%An incredibly powerful being discovered once the Breach Zone had first expanded. Also known as Batod (Big Angry Thing Of Doom), the Crawling Chaos, and the Black Pharaoh. An {{Expy}} of Creator/HPLovecraft.

%%* EldritchAbomination

!!Thumos

%%* UnstoppableRage: Presumably. He didn't actually get much action.
!!Tiamat
Monstrous goddess of destruction and primordial chaos.
----
* DontWakeTheSleeper: Known for taking long naps after destructive rampages, which most people would prefer she stay in.
%%* EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: It could have been.
* ImMelting: When she attacked [[spoiler:Crete]], she covered the land in ooze that caused breakdown of the bodies of mortals. This is about as horrific as it sounds.
* {{Kaiju}}: She's strongly implied to be a reference to them, including quotes from ''Film/PacificRim''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Well, Dragon/Goddess/Monster of Mass Destruction. [[spoiler: Her arrival in the Aegean turned the ocean into a primordial wasteland, killing millions on Crete alone.]]
* RealityWarper: When she attacked [[spoiler:Crete]], her mere rage caused the surrounding seas to revert to their original state of primordial chaos.

!!Abarakku-Bulu
Hailing from the Khabur Valley, Abarakku-Bulu is currently the largest active PC god. They are within Assyria's sphere of influence, but currently are doing their best to extricate themselves from Ashur's grasp.
----
* DavidVersusGoliath: Fought Ullikummi (albeit not directly) and forced him to retreat. Ullikummi is a stone titan the size of a mountain that slaughtered far more powerful Hittite gods and could crush entire cities.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Got sick of Ashur's rulership, and sent dreams of Ashur's retreat from Tiamat to the Assyrian army on the advice of Suen. This took him from one of Ashur's favored subject gods to an enemy.
* LivingStatue: He is one, and his main miracle is building species of them--crab bricks, goats and cows, elephants, mice, giant turtles, and salamanders that transport water.
!!Aplu-Rapādu
!!Banaat-Hanaan
!!Chaetas
Worm god of the Levant. Originated in Byblos but was driven from the city by Uridimmu's interference. Initially neutral during the Assyrian-Hittite War, but ended up siding with the Assyrians. Killed by Izimtu for this; cause of death unknown by anyone else.
----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Had giant larval hulks.
* LaResistance: Wanted to be this to the power structure of Byblos, but they got bogged down fighting Uridimmu and then the Hittites, and it didn't take off.
* TunnelKing: He made a lot of them and could move the entrances. Helped turn the tide of the Hittite-Assyrian War by tunneling into the Mesopotamian underworld and releasing an army of undead.
!!Change
!!Fedelmid
A feline god from Elam who has begun domesticating the caracal. Currently pushed into Susa.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of Fedelmid from the original, naturally.
* PantheraAwesome: His sacred animal is the caracal. He also looks like a caracal.
* RunOrDie: From the daevas, [[RecurringElement this time]].
* SuperSenses: His followers get them.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Pretty strongly associated with sunlight.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Arrows made by his followers aren't necessarily more deadly, but they are guided. Spears marked with his symbol in blood are guided as well.
!!Gennaiodoro

----
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Tries to be this. Doesn't work out great for her public image, though.
!!Kigal-Esh
----
!!Kinu Emu
A god of change and adaptability from the Kaskan territories. Has nothing to do with emus.
----
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Much to his regret. His followers never really cared about him, so when his prophet was indisposed as a side effect of Assyria rallying the Kaskans, he faded out of existence.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The second PC god to die.
!!Lugal-Azaz
----
* BornLucky: In universe, seen that way. Elam is enemies with Mesopotamia, but Lugal-Azaz was able to visit Ishtar, Marduk, and Ninurta without being wounded, and despite all three being hostile to him (and Elam as a whole). Later, flew with Nasitu-Neb into a giant cloud of darkness that Ahriman summoned, stopped the daevas invasion of the Elamite underworld, and was again entirely unharmed by the end.
!!Nasitu-Neb
----
!!Nebu-Abratu
----
!!Otera
Unlike most gods, Otera is aiming to be a monster. Currently in Greece founding theater.
----
* BoxedCrook: Artemis (referred to as Ala in this time) recruited him at arrowpoint and made him act as her enforcer. He later went AWOL and Ala elected not to interfere.
* CurbStompBattle: Kretheus, king of Lasos, attempted to challenge Otera to single combat. Kretheus is a normal human. Otera is a giant flying firebreathing monster. It did not go well for him.
* {{Kaiju}}: What he is, really.
* PlayingWithFire: He can use it as a breath weapon, illustrated rather dramatically when he burned alive a king who had stolen from a temple of Artemis, then mocked him.
!!Rajul Tamaae
----
!!Ro-Hash
----
* WeHardlyKnewYe: First player god to die, and he only had one worshiper and lasted for a few turns.
!!Sa Kakkabtin Subkatim
----

----
!!Uridimmu
A cynical (in the ancient Greek sense of the term) god from the Levant. One of the most powerful PC gods, though a tier below Aplu-Rapādu and Sa Kakkabtin Subkatim, and spreading rapidly.
----
* BewareOfViciousDog: Anyone who encounters him would do well to heed this advice.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The Followers of the Burning Paw, one of the three cults that worships Uridimmu, are weredogs.
* SummonBiggerFish: Cut a deal with Yam to kill the Baal Zephon. In the resulting chaos from Yam's subsequent invasion of the Levant, retreated to the desert.
* TheCynic: Promotes simple living, disrespects the king, and rebukes other gods. Also executed an extremely successful reign of terror across the Levant.

!!K'var
God of the Dead and Shadows, first turned up in Ethiopia.
----
* BatOutOfHell: K'var himself often appears with bat wings and ears, but they are also one of his two most sacred animals. Almost a literal "bat out of hell" is Demaris, a giant bat guardian that exists in K'vars' afterlife, the Shadowlands.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Of a flaming variety when ticked off.
!!Kypselia
God of bees, war, and wisdom.
----
* BeeAfraid: His sacred animal, one which he has bred into particularly virulent varieties.
* TheOmniscient: More or less. Acquired this by absorbing the powers of Thoth (with his agreement). Unfortunately, Thoth had suppressed certain knowledge about Nyarlathotep (lest he GoMadFromTheRevelation), so he's NotSoOmniscientAfterAll.

A trickster deity associated with weather and darkness.
----
%%* TheBeastmaster: Specifically for hyenas.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Associated with darkness, but a nice deity once you get to know her.

* MagicMusic: Specifically of the MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast variety.
%%* {{Pacifist}}
!!Nembus
God of dreams.
----

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: This is how he warned his prophet's family of impending doom awaiting their city, orchestrated by a NPC deity called Deora.
* DreamWeaver: He has the ability to create dreams, also often referred to in the game as 'Dreamdancer' or 'Knitter of Dreams'.
* DreamWithinADream: Basically Nembus now has power to create something akin to Inception's version of realistic 'Dream within a Dream' sequences.
* TalkingInYourDreams: He can communicate with his subjects via dreams and the realm of the subconscious.
* VisionQuest: What his prophet experienced when they first interacted.
* YourWorstNightmare: His power over dreams matches that over nightmares too.

God of the wilderness and stories.
----

* BurnTheWitch: Oddly enough, averted. Ollphéist's prophet was accused of being a witch, but he wasn't burned.[[spoiler: He was dismembered instead...but he came back]].
%%* CallToAgriculture
* DontGoInTheWoods: Currently attempting to avert this, by making its worshipers less afraid of nature.
* FullBoarAction: Ollphéist's first symbolic animal.
* GaiasVengeance: Ollphéist's main deal; it feels that it must fight for nature (in particular, woods and forests).
%%* GreenThumb
%%* NatureSpirit: Duh.
* PigMan: Ollphéist talks to its people through a pig head [[spoiler: growing out of a magical oak tree in the middle of a village]].
* WhenTreesAttack: Ollphéist's only big power at the moment is to control trees.
!!Orubashi
A god of darkness and justice.
----
%%* CastingAShadow
* OminousOwl: Owls are his sacred animal.
!!Semaru
God of the Moon, Nature, and Cycles.
----
%%* NatureSpirit
* SuperSpeed: His first (and only miracle so far) was making his prophet an exceptionally fast runner.
!!Syniad
God of inspiration and creativity.
----
%%* ArcNumber: 8.

!!Terron
God of earth, stone, and soil.

* ThisIsntHeaven: His first afterlife after [[MadGod Lysso]] smuggled himself in. He was careful to install an AfterlifeAntechamber on the second version to prevent a repeat occurrence.
* ThreateningShark: Thekasios' sacred animal is the shark, though it is only threatening to his enemies and is actually used as a mount by his prophets, priests, and holy warriors. Also present in the form of his SeaMonster, overlapping with {{Megalodon}}.
* WeatherManipulation: Specifically the ability to summon storms. Most frequently employed as HostileWeather or as WeatherOfWar.
!!Thoumm
God of luck, weather, and fertility.
----
* BerserkButton: When [[spoiler:Tiamat attacked Crete, home island of the Five,]] Thoumm was the first to speak against her, because she was killing all the humans he loved.
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: [[PrettyButterflies Butterflies]] are his holy animal, and are believed to be the souls of the kindly dead.
* HappyRain: As a god of farmers, his ability to summon rain is appreciated more often than not.
!!Yam-Apep
God of truth and magic.
----
* DisabledDeity: [[spoiler: After his fight with Tiamat, and subsequent repair by Vulcan.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Helped the Egyptian pantheon defeat Set, not realizing that Set was [[SaltTheEarth Salting the Earth]] so as to [[DontWakeTheSleeper Not Wake the Sleeper]].
* PhysicalGod: A major part of his character development was gaining human form, primarily so that he could [[DivineDate marry his prophetess]].

!!Darius
God king of Persia (well, demi-god actually).
----
%%* DeityOfHumanOrigin
* FallenHero: Presumably was once a just and noble ruler. That changed when he met [[TheCorrupter Lysso]].
%%* GodEmperor: Self-styled.
* VillainousBSOD: When [[spoiler:Orubashi's troops]] closed in on him, they found him weeping as he devoured the soul of his favorite wife (the last of a trail of victims). He [[MercyKill let them kill him]] at that point.
%%* YourSoulIsMine: This is how most demigods work in the setting.
!!Lysso
One of the earliest NPC gods introduced. Has repeatedly screwed over various people, including the Italians, Thekasios and the Five. Also known as Kuriosolinus (Lysso is more of an alias).
----
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Lysso doesn't know the meaning of politics or morality.
%%* TheCorrupter: He played this role with Darius.
%%* ItAmusedMe: Most of his actions follow this.
%%* MadGod: Obviously.

%%* EldritchAbomination

%%* SealedEvilInACan
%%* DontWakeTheSleeper: It was a little too late for that...
!!Thumos
A god of rage born in Sparta when Kai defeated their armies.
----
* KillTheGod: Was killed by Lysso, resulting in the first Breach Zone expansion.
%%* UnstoppableRage: Presumably. He didn't actually get much action.
!!Tiamat
Monstrous goddess of destruction and primordial chaos.
----
* DontWakeTheSleeper: Known for taking long naps after destructive rampages, which most people would prefer she stay in.
%%* EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: It could have been.
* ImMelting: When she attacked [[spoiler:Crete]], she covered the land in ooze that caused breakdown of the bodies of mortals. This is about as horrific as it sounds.
* {{Kaiju}}: She's strongly implied to be a reference to them, including quotes from ''Film/PacificRim''.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Well, Dragon/Goddess/Monster of Mass Destruction. [[spoiler: Her arrival in the Aegean turned the ocean into a primordial wasteland, killing millions on Crete alone.]]
* RealityWarper: When she attacked [[spoiler:Crete]], her mere rage caused the surrounding seas to revert to their original state of primordial chaos.

!!Abarakku-Bulu
Hailing from the Khabur Valley, Abarakku-Bulu is currently the largest active PC god. They are within Assyria's sphere of influence, but currently are doing their best to extricate themselves from Ashur's grasp.
----
* DavidVersusGoliath: Fought Ullikummi (albeit not directly) and forced him to retreat. Ullikummi is a stone titan the size of a mountain that slaughtered far more powerful Hittite gods and could crush entire cities.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Got sick of Ashur's rulership, and sent dreams of Ashur's retreat from Tiamat to the Assyrian army on the advice of Suen. This took him from one of Ashur's favored subject gods to an enemy.
* LivingStatue: He is one, and his main miracle is building species of them--crab bricks, goats and cows, elephants, mice, giant turtles, and salamanders that transport water.
!!Aplu-Rapādu
!!Banaat-Hanaan
!!Chaetas
Worm god of the Levant. Originated in Byblos but was driven from the city by Uridimmu's interference. Initially neutral during the Assyrian-Hittite War, but ended up siding with the Assyrians. Killed by Izimtu for this; cause of death unknown by anyone else.
----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Had giant larval hulks.
* LaResistance: Wanted to be this to the power structure of Byblos, but they got bogged down fighting Uridimmu and then the Hittites, and it didn't take off.
* TunnelKing: He made a lot of them and could move the entrances. Helped turn the tide of the Hittite-Assyrian War by tunneling into the Mesopotamian underworld and releasing an army of undead.
!!Change
!!Fedelmid
A feline god from Elam who has begun domesticating the caracal. Currently pushed into Susa.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of Fedelmid from the original, naturally.
* PantheraAwesome: His sacred animal is the caracal. He also looks like a caracal.
* RunOrDie: From the daevas, [[RecurringElement this time]].
* SuperSenses: His followers get them.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Pretty strongly associated with sunlight.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Arrows made by his followers aren't necessarily more deadly, but they are guided. Spears marked with his symbol in blood are guided as well.
!!Gennaiodoro
----
!!Izimtu
----
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Tries to be this. Doesn't work out great for her public image, though.
!!Kigal-Esh
----
!!Kinu Emu
A god of change and adaptability from the Kaskan territories. Has nothing to do with emus.
----
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Much to his regret. His followers never really cared about him, so when his prophet was indisposed as a side effect of Assyria rallying the Kaskans, he faded out of existence.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The second PC god to die.
!!Lugal-Azaz
----
* BornLucky: In universe, seen that way. Elam is enemies with Mesopotamia, but Lugal-Azaz was able to visit Ishtar, Marduk, and Ninurta without being wounded, and despite all three being hostile to him (and Elam as a whole). Later, flew with Nasitu-Neb into a giant cloud of darkness that Ahriman summoned, stopped the daevas invasion of the Elamite underworld, and was again entirely unharmed by the end.
!!Nasitu-Neb
----
!!Nebu-Abratu
----
!!Otera
Unlike most gods, Otera is aiming to be a monster. Currently in Greece founding theater.
----
* BoxedCrook: Artemis (referred to as Ala in this time) recruited him at arrowpoint and made him act as her enforcer. He later went AWOL and Ala elected not to interfere.
* CurbStompBattle: Kretheus, king of Lasos, attempted to challenge Otera to single combat. Kretheus is a normal human. Otera is a giant flying firebreathing monster. It did not go well for him.
* {{Kaiju}}: What he is, really.
* PlayingWithFire: He can use it as a breath weapon, illustrated rather dramatically when he burned alive a king who had stolen from a temple of Artemis, then mocked him.
!!Rajul Tamaae
----
!!Ro-Hash
----
* WeHardlyKnewYe: First player god to die, and he only had one worshiper and lasted for a few turns.
!!Sa Kakkabtin Subkatim
----
!!Tzusegemor
----
!!Uridimmu
A cynical (in the ancient Greek sense of the term) god from the Levant. One of the most powerful PC gods, though a tier below Aplu-Rapādu and Sa Kakkabtin Subkatim, and spreading rapidly.
----
* BewareOfViciousDog: Anyone who encounters him would do well to heed this advice.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: The Followers of the Burning Paw, one of the three cults that worships Uridimmu, are weredogs.
* SummonBiggerFish: Cut a deal with Yam to kill the Baal Zephon. In the resulting chaos from Yam's subsequent invasion of the Levant, retreated to the desert.
* TheCynic: Promotes simple living, disrespects the king, and rebukes other gods. Also executed an extremely successful reign of terror across the Levant.
