One of the most indecisive and unknown parts of the Server Lore is the Gods and Religion. With the new map, a Priest Guild will be formed, and a steady lore will be required. So, I am making this thread using all Approved God Lore, along with Orman's "Nine Worlds", which I will also get accepted (hopefully). If anyone has any extra ideas or something that I may have gotten wrong, please comment.

As explained, there are 9 separate Dimensions, each holding a specific element or nature to it. Each Major God found home in one of the Worlds.
Zicamgar; God of Artandan/Mirugan. Known as the God of "Gold and War", as stated in the ancient text "Gods of Mirugan" This can also be seen as God of Peace and Prosperity, since in order to reach peace, war is sometimes needed. He is the God of Mirugan, also known as the Overworld.
(When the Nine Worlds began to mix via the Open Worldgates (created by Terminus and the Endermen), Zicamgar merged many pieces of separate worlds onto Mirugan, making it hospitable to a wide array of species. While taking chunks from other worlds, Zicamgar also let other Gods' influence into Mirugan, along with some of their species.)
Viridia; God of Amazonia. This god is the ruler of the Forest and Natural Energy. It is from her that Pure Magic is derived from, and has had a small presence in each World forever. She is also the Goddess of Lower Intelligence Living Organisms (Peaceful Mobs), and Goddess of the Harvest
Varjostaa; God of Caelum. God of the Sky and the Winds. He/She is in command of the Sky, and any atmospheric anomalies that occur, like Rain, Storms, etc. Lastly, He is a god of Knowledge, leading his/her people (the Skylords) into being one of the smartest races in history. He/She is also the main god of the Bretons, descendants of the Skylords who inhabited Caelum.
Uisceair; God of Atlantis. This God is God of Water and Currents of the ocean. It is by his will that sailors either drown, or come home with a plentiful bounty of fish.
Solumde; God of Almire. Although from the World of Vampires, Solumde has been adopted by both Endrites and Dwarves due to her dominion over The Core and Lava, a major component of Dwarven Crafting. He/She once gave underground shelter to the Pureblood Vampires from the Painful Sun. Pureblood Vampires can freely walk around in the Sun, but it can still be irritating, and their condition worsens over prolonged amounts of time. Also, Solumde's Lava Volcano on Almire provided an Ash Layer in the Atmosphere, blocking a large portion of the Sun's Rays. But, after moving to Mirugan, where most surviving Vampires were Half-Bloods, the need for such large scale protection was no longer needed, and Solumde was abandon by the Vampires
OnddoFang; God of Miscellanea. Hailing from a strange world of Mushrooms and Fungi of the like, This God did not receive much land, nor dominion, over Mirugan. Although even having less power in Mirugan than some Minor Gods, He is still respected as a Major God due to his origins.
Terminus; God of Ender. While not gaining any land in the Overworld of Mirugan, a small portion of Ender is still accessible via a left over World Gate. Terminus has no direct power in Mirugan, but due to the close ties of both the World Gate and some Decedents called Endrites, Terminus is able to commune through his designated, high ranking followers. Terminus is the God of Inspiration, and can send minor thoughts to anyone he deems worthy through various methods, including dreams.
Zasuti; God of the Nether. Zasuti is viewed in many angles. To Some, he is the God of Evil, due to his previous attacks, as well as current attacks from some of his former minions, like Hon (his old General). To Others, Zasuti is the God of Equality, offering Power to the Weak to dominate the oppressive powers. Although he is still locked away, his full power not within reach, he still retains his position of a Major God because of his history.
Berliah; God of Khazad-Dum. He is God of Ores and Mining. Worshiped by many due to greed, others due to heritage, He can directly effect mining trips by either helping miners find diamonds, or having them step on an unfortunate floor of crumbling Gravel, causing them to fall into Lava.

Known Relations Between Gods:
The Gods of Amazonia, Atlantis, and Caelum are known partners. It is through the influence of all three that Plants are grown; Amazonia's Soil, Atlantis' Water, and Caelum's Storms.
The Gods of Atlantis and Caelum also work together in the creation of Ocean Storms, using harsh winds and rippling currents to destroy their enemies.
Berliah and Zicamgar have a slight relation, Berliah ruling over Ores, yet Zicamgar managing Gold and Prosperity. Minor Checks and Balances are maintained between the two.
Verjostaa and Terminus have a professional relationship, both trying to inspire and direct all sentient life towards advances in the scholarly professions.
Uisceair, OnddoFang, and Viridia all provide food to the world, via Plants and Animals.
