The gods of Orden are less interactive than gods in other campaign settings. They do not speak or interact directly with anyone except their saints. As a result, churches are typically devoted to a saint rather than a god. Different regions have different gods, or at least use different names for them and attribute different values, characteristics, and domains to them.

Gods of Other Races[]
- “Why do humans have so many gods? The elves have one god. The dwarves only have one. We have dozens. Why is that? I bet Ajax knows”
- — Nails[source]
Unlike humans, other races tend to worship one deity. This is an incomplete list of gods worshipped by other races.
