View source for Gods

On [[Discworld]], '''gods''' are created and thrive on belief. Small gods only have a little bit of belief, either being new or having lost all worshippers and being little more than echoes of voices in the desert wind.

==Worshippable deities==
The following are the [[deities]] that [[priests]] can serve and everyone else except [[witches]] and [[wizards]] can be [[followers]] and worship them.
*One can only serve or worship a single deity.

These deities, while not being the most powerful, have enough [[faith]], power and interest in attracting more worshippers that they grant rituals to those who feed them with belief.

==Gods not (yet) recognized==
Some gods are not yet recognized (without a finger information) on the mud.

;Narrativia, Goddess of Writing and Writers
:She is the patron deity of Sir Terry Pratchett himself, who was having a statue made in Her honour.

;The Lady
:The Goddess Who Must Not Be Named, also known as '''The 'Million-to-One' Chance - and all of the other chances as well'''.
:No Discworld God can change the nature of their own eyes, and hers are emerald green, without iris or pupil.
:Mentioned in ''The Colour of Magic'', ''Interesting Times'' and ''The Last Hero''.

;Fate
:A most implacable god, it is possible (although difficult) to bargain with him, but proverbially impossible to cheat him, although this has been done before, notably by the Lady and Cohen in ''The Last Hero''.
:His eyes are starry voids.
:He is said to come from a world other than the Disc.

;Destiny
:A god mentioned in The Colour of Magic. Possibly an anthropomorphic personification. Different from Fate, Destiny sees to it that young heroes meet their heroic destiny, while Fate backs winners, those ‘fated to win' and seem to have everything going for them. 

;Monolith
:A mythic troll hero figure, a parody of Prometheus, he first wrested the secret of rocks from the gods (the secret being that you can hit someone with one).
:Even though the famous human Fingers-Mazda (Thief of Fire) is usually credited with being the Disc's first thief, Monolith probably predates him considerably.
:In ''Feet of Clay'' statues of Monolith are referred to as "troll religious statues", indicating that he is also some kind of demigod or similar. He is also mentioned in ''Moving Pictures''.

;Pedestriana, Goddess of feet and pedal dexterity
:The goddess appears early and late in the events of ''Unseen Academicals'' to promote and direct the Beautiful Game which serves as a sacrament to her.

;Bissonomy
:She is currently an obscure Virtue, but according to Chaffinch, she was once a goddess and a consort of Blind Io.

;Epidity, God of Potatoes
:The patron deity of potatoes. Has the power to turn blasphemers in His sight into a shower of oysters.
:In ''Making Money'', there is passing reference to a potato-based religion requiring its devotees to wear symbolic golden tubers on a chain about their necks, which is beginning to gain ground in Ankh-Morpork, of which Mr. Tulip, and in the end Mr. Pin seemed to be believers.
:He is celebrated in the month of Ember, which The Celebrated Discworld Almanak notes is the season of potato-harvesting just before winter.

;Infernal Zoth, the Undying Renderer
:A god who, due to his essential nature and uncompromising job description, may well have reduced himself to small god status by remorselessly wiping out his believers. His high spot might have been in 1547, when the order of monks bearing his name were wiped out by fire, lightning and a highly localised earthquake. Perhaps they contemplated the essential infernal nature of Zoth only too well...
:The site of Zoth's former place of worship is now occupied by the Fools' Guild. 

;Iron Girder
:The first steam locomotive on Discworld, becomes a goddess due to acquiring worshippers, in the form of trainspotters, in ''Raising Steam''.

;Night
:A god for the easily impressed. Hard to see. Mentioned in ''The Colour of Magic''.

;Noddi
:Creator god of NoThingfjord.

;Nog-Humpty, Custard God
:Mentioned in the Discworld's Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000, Nog-Humpty the custard god is one for whom religion ''is'' a joking matter. Possibly associated with the Fools' Guild. 

;Pippina, Goddess of Chaos and Discord. Carries the Golden Apple of office.

;Resonata, Goddess of Weasels

;Saponaria, Goddess of Soap and Cleanliness

;Mad Snake God
:Its principal temple has the terrible Man-Eating Sloth of Clup guarding a giant ruby.

;Anu-anu
:A god shaped like a werewolf that appears as a character in the computer game ''Discworld Noir''.
:Originally worshipped in Klatch, where a temple dedicated to him still exists in Al-Khali. During the events of the game he has been reduced to small god status, physically reducing him to the form of a small dog, but his religion still existed in Überwald amongst werewolf clans. One of the proponents of the religion of Anu-anu was Ulrich von Überwald whose wife Carlotta helped to found a chapter in Ankh-Morpork.

;Vometia
:The ancient Ankh-Morporkian goddess of being sick. "To make an offering to Vometia..." means vomiting. Mentioned in ''The Last Hero''.

;Vomita
:Possibly the Oh Goddess of vomiting and violent purging.

==Dark Gods==

:Pratchett never makes the connection explicit, the dark gods of the Necrotelicomnicon are probably creatures from the Dungeon Dimensions that have found a way to survive in our universe.
:Although possibly not proper gods, some might use belief to sustain themselves.
:The names of the Dark Gods are often references to creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos. 

;Bel-Shamharoth
:He is also known as the "Soul-Eater," the "Soul-Render," or the "Sender of Eight."
:On the mud, should one shout the 7+1 number, one might be confronted with this entity (and directly logged out from the mud).
:These days he is mostly remembered in the name of the Young Men's Reformed-Cultists-of-the-Ichor-God Bel-Shamharoth Association. His likeness is etched on the cover of the Octavo. 

;Yob Sodoth
:Mentioned in ''Moving Pictures''.

;The Insider
:Mentioned in ''Equal Rites''.

;C'hulagen
:Mentioned in ''Equal Rites''.

;Nylonathetep
:Mentioned in ''Discworld Noir''.
