The most mentioned divinity and Priestess' patron deity.

to:

The most mentioned divinity and Priestess' patron deity. Generally depicted as a winged woman, her three tenets are: "Protect, Heal, Save".



* EmotionBomb: One of her miracles allows the caster to induce peaceful feelings in intelligent beings within 100 meters of themselves. However, beings which literally cannot conceive of peace (goblins, demons) NoSell it, people who have already been injured in the conflict have some resistance to it, and it has a time limit.



* KillingInSelfDefense: The Earth Mother discourages her followers from engaging in combat beyond self-defense or providing support to others, and doesn't permit her followers to carry extreme weapons or to cover all their skin in armor. She allowed Priestess to use one of her miracles to directly kill a stronger foe in a life-or-death situation. '''Once'''.



* MiracleFood: One of her unique miracles allows the caster to produce a simple meal of the casters choosing and/or 10 liters of water out of thin air. The food can either prevent the onset of illness or attempt to cure an ongoing illness in the consumer (temporarily alleviating any effects it can't cure). The water may be produced little by little or all at once.



* StoneWall: One of her unique miracles allows the caster to grant a target a strong HealingFactor, keep them from developing fatigue, and prevent them from being moved from their position by any outside force--as long as they don't move from their position of their own volition, which will invalidate all these benefits.



* WhiteMage: Her followers tend toward this archetype, both an abundance of miracles intended to aid rather than harm, and a limited weapon and armor selection.



The next most mentioned god, who most of the seen clerics besides Priestess actually serve. Also known as the God of Law/Justice.

to:

The next most mentioned god, who most of the seen clerics besides Priestess actually serve. Also known as the God of Law/Justice. Generally depicted as a blindfolded female god, carrying scales in one hand and a sword in the other. She has the most disciples in the kingdom.



* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Played with. It's a common misconception that as the God of Law, she actually passes judgement upon criminals or dictates which laws should be passed. However, she actually encourages humans to develop their own laws and punishments so their free will isn't compromised.



Another mentioned god that clerics and adventurers are seen devoted to.

to:

Another mentioned god that clerics and adventurers are seen devoted to. Generally depicted as a person who covers their face with a cloak, carrying a candle on a tray.



* AmbiguousGender: Generally referred to as male with some exceptions, their depiction (a cloaked recluse) ironically answers no questions.
* FigureItOutYourself: A god who believes in teaching a man to catch a fish, he encourages people to take the light of knowledge themselves, studying knowledge of their own volition and spreading it to those who would learn. Thus, while one of his unique miracles allows him to give a simple yes-or-no answer to a question from his followers, using said miracle without at least ''trying'' to find the answer first will usually get no response.



* {{Seers}}: One of his miracles allows a target the caster touches (or themselves) to look slightly into the future, granting CombatClairvoyance and the ability to avoid traps and other dangers for a limited time--this translates into game terms as a guaranteed success on one of the 2d6 the game uses, of a magnitude based upon the level of success.



* TranslatorMicrobes: One of his miracles allows the caster to read languages they don't know.



Another of the Gods of Order. Mentioned and described in ''Year One'', and the most prominent deity in ''Daikatana'' thanks to the [[DungeonBasedEconomy nature of]] [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts Fortress City.]]

Another of the Gods of Order. Mentioned and described in ''Year One'', and the most prominent deity in ''Daikatana'' thanks to the [[DungeonBasedEconomy nature of]] [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts Fortress City.]]]] He is said to be a deity with no form, like the wind.



* ConspicuousConsumption: The trade god firmly discourages this, but is also opposed to pointlessly hoarding money. Keeping it in a healthy cycle is what matters.



Another of the main Gods of Order. Her female followers are expected to dress in bikini armor.

to:

Another of the main Gods of Order. She is depicted is an armed warrior carrying a spear. Her female followers are expected to dress often dressed in bikini armor.



* JumpedAtTheCall: She encourages people to take arms, whatever form those arms might be, and face the world's perils. Even if their adventures fail, the gods will remember them.



* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The TRPG book, at least, always refers to her as "the Valkyrie".



Another mentioned god, the only one which dwarves revere.

to:

Another mentioned god, the only one which dwarves revere. It's said that the Valkyrie started out as one of his followers, and so many of her followers worship him as well.
