Looking for a Deity for your character? Can't figure out which one is right for you? Look no further my friends, here is a complete list of GW's current deity's'. This list includes appearances, common worship practices, their symbol and much more.
Lakri
Father, Creator, The True
Symbol Three stars organized into a triangle
Alignment Purity
Actions Followers Might Take To Please Do your duty faithfully and without question or complaint, Show loyalty to your deity and to your grex and Natuk, Obey your Natuk and deity and do as told without question, Oppose corruption and defend your grex through violence if need be
Loves Good, Healing, Law, Protection, Strength
Appearance
Appears as a large and muscular, silver gryphon, laced with ice crystals with dark blue eyes and gleaming talons and beak. Lakri is a fearsome god to encounter, yet he radiates calm and an understanding compassion for even the greatest sinners that follow his order. He, like Talinie, will often welcome back fallen gryphons that have atoned for their sins, but only some sins can be atoned for and accepted. Storms often signal the appearance of Lakri, particularly snow storms.
Beliefs/Laws
--Salvation may be found through service
--Every failed duty diminishes Lakri and your standing, every success increases them
--Maintain law and order
--Obey those in a commanding position with judgment and anticipation
--Stand ever alert against corruption, do not show mercy to the corrupted and destroy them
--Bring painful but quick death to traitors of Lakri's faith
--Suggest improvements or alternatives to unjust laws and/or commands, do not suggest a different command or law
--Your duties are to your faith, family, masters(commanders) and all good beings
Worship
--Seek out and destroy corruption, this pleases Lakri
--Watch for traitors, do not punish them until a fair trial is given
--Pray to Lakri at least once daily

Talinie
Lady of the Moon, MoonMaiden, Mother
Symbol Crescent moon with a wavy line running through it
Alignment Neutral/Pure (she is neutral with pure tendencies)
Actions Followers Might Take To Please Be tolerant of all life but oppose the corrupted (Zanic worshipers), Be kind to and aid the weak and those unable to care for themselves, Seek peace but defend your beliefs preferably not through violence, Protect others that seek or need protection, Show compassion to the corrupted and attempt to heal their broken wills or destroy them to end them of this torturous existence
Loves The Moon, Protecting and aiding the weak and crippled, Traveling, Compassion
Appearance
Appears as a lithe, silver gryphon, laced with ice crystals with bright blue eyes and gleaming talons and beak. Like the moon, she has many different faces and personalities. At times she can seem distant, weighed down with sadness of past injustices and defeats. Other times she's joyful, dancing and spinning through the air, her lithe form glowing with majestic radiance.
Talinie radiates gentleness and comfort, a motherly presence for troubled minds. Like her mate, Lakri, while in her presence you become very aware of your own inadequacies though neither she nor her mate are arrogant enough to point them out. An encounter with her is extremely rare so treasure such a meeting and think carefully on what she has to say.
Beliefs/Laws
--Let all that Talinies grace and light touch be welcome if they so desire
--As the moon shifts, so does all life
--Trust in Talinie and know that all those that show love through aid or otherwise under her watchful gaze shall know her blessing

--Promote acceptance and tolerance, see all others as equals
--Aid others as if they were your dearest friends
--Oppose the chaotic forces, bring those blinded by darkness back to the light if possible
--Destroy chaotic worshipers that cannot be turned and release them from the torture in their souls
Worship
--Show patience, a healing hand and understanding to all that seek it
--Show compassion and guidance to all
--Value self-reliance and humility as well as compassion and understanding

Alignment Neutrality
Actions Followers Might Take To Please Respect nature and everything within it, Do not take sides in a matter, Protect Nature,
Loves Nature, Traveling, Mothers and Kits, Neutrality
Appearance
Farlin appears as a robust, russet feathered and tawny furred, brown eyed female of shapely form and lithe grace. A leather cord can be seen around her neck, the feather of a silver bird (possibly a feather of Lakri's) hanging from it. Small faeries, called sprites, are often seen flickering around her.
Beliefs/Laws
--Live in harmony with nature
--Embrace the wild and fear it not
--Keep the balance and learn the hidden ways of life
--Stress the positive and outreaching nature of the wild

--Gather once a moon cycle in the sacred grove to give thanks to Farlin and her enlightening ways and to share new information on the goings ons of the Druidic Clans, or grex's of worshipers who are not druids or rangers, and their respective territories. It is customary to bring an offering of a single fresh fish or a branch of berries by each worshiper.
--A worshiper will show their devotion through their actions.
Zanic
Prince of Lies, Prince of Darkness, Dark or Marked One, The Black Sun or The Eclipse, The Trickster

Alignment Chaotic
Actions Followers Might Take To Please Murder, Lie, Intrigue, Deception, Illusion
Loves Chaos, Destruction, Evil, Illusion, Trickery
Appearance
He rarely appears in his true form unless it is to worthy followers or to ones he is about to kill so that they may know who it was that tore them from this earth. These are common forms, the first listed is the most common:
---A bloody, black cloaked figure in the shape of a crouched man.
---A gloom, like fog with phantom images of the now dead loved ones of whoever he is confronting with the intent gaze of two fiery red eyes.
---His true form is believed to be that of a huge, skeletal gryphon with his black, matted fur and feathers hanging off in clumps. When he moves, feathers often fall from him. These feathers should be avoided as they ooze tainted blood, and magic, and can quickly poison a gryphon and remove their Gift if not kill them. His voice sounds like nails grating against a chalk board.
Beliefs/Laws
--Death to all who oppose him and to those that create peace, order, and law
--Bow to his supreme power and gift him with the blood of those who do not recognize his supremacy
--Fear and obey those in authority
--Kill the weak, of pure persuasion and/or false prophets
--Battle and seek to destroy clerics of other alignments for they are false prophets and will lead you astray of The True Path
--Do not break into open rebellion, destroy one enemy at a time and keep all others afraid and in constant strife
--Destroy betrayers, those that have strayed from The True Path to others but do not let them know that they have been discovered until the moment of their demise
Worship
--There are no holy days, celebrations are held when an important figure has been sacrificed to Zanic
--Zanic demands that high ranking (oracles, high priests of other orders etc.), or individuals he chose to be killed, be sacrificed on the altar so that he may grow stronger on the blood
--A worshiper of Zanic will show his allegiance and service to the Dark One through his actions, such as murder, lies, deception, etc.
