The Divinities of OerthGreyhawk's Gods and Demigods, Hero-Gods and Quasi-DeitiesI use the following books and articles as standard references for Oerth's deities:
For unofficial works, be sure to check out:
Read those first, then you'll be working from the same basis from which I'm working. So, what's here that's not in those sources? In the info below, I track the publication origin and evolution of the god in question, and attempt to list comprehensively the sources from which it is drawn. I also list all of the known figures of some divine status in Greyhawk, including the various hero-gods and quasi-deities, but excluding demons, devils, etc., and mortals. I specifically do not list personages such as the members of the Circle of Eight, etc., since I had to draw the line at including mortals, to avoid this list ballooning into a comprehensive historical NPC listing instead of the divinties of Oerth. The ListThe list is categorized by type By default, I use information from the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer and "The Gods of Oerth" as my basis for determining whether a deity is Greater, Lesser, etc. If the sources conflict, I'll make a call and detail my logic in the Notes field. I have eliminated the "Major God" category from 1983's A Guide to the World of Greyhawk, since all Major Gods also appeared as Greater Gods in the same book. I list each god's original publication to Greyhawk, and additional relevant sources that further detail the god in question. Greater Gods

Intermediate Gods
Lesser Gods
