When gods walk the world , clerics channel divine power , evil cults perform dark sacrifices in underground burrows , and shiny paladins stand like beacons against darkness , it is difficult to be ambivalent about deities and deny their existence. Many people in the worlds of D&D worship different gods at different times and circumstances. People in forgotten areas , for example , could pray to Sune for happiness in love , give an offering to Waukeen before going to the market and praying to be home to Talos when a severe storm blows-all in the same day. Many people have a favorite among the gods , one whose ideals and teachings make their own. And several people devote fully to one god , usually serving as a priest or champion of that ideal of God. Your DM determines which gods , if any , are worshipmed in his campaign. Among the available gods , you can choose one deity for your character to serve , worship , or pay lip service. Or you can choose the few for which your character most often prays. Or just make a mental note of the gods that are valued in your DM's campaign so you can refer to their names when appropriate. If you play a cleric or character with an Acolyte background , decide which god your deity serves or serves , and consider the suggested domains of t he deity when choosing your character's domain. Domains of Life and Death Many deities in this section suggest the domain of life , especially if they are closely related to healing , protection , childbirth , nurturing , or fertility. However , as described in Chapter 3 , the domain of Life is incredibly broad , and the cleric of any non-evil deity can choose it. A number of other deities , mostly evil , suggest the domain of Death , which is detailed in the Guide of the Dungeon Masters. Most clerics who choose this domain are evil RPCs , but if you want to worship the god of death , consult your Dungeon Lord. D&D Pantheons Every world in t he D&D multiverse has its own pantheons of deities , the size of crowded pantheons of forgotten worlds and Greyhawks to the more focused religions of Eberron and Dragonlance. Many nonhuman races worship the same gods on different worlds—Moradin , for example , is revered by warriors of forgotten worlds , Greyhawk , and many other worlds. Forgotten territories Dozens of deities are revered , worshipped and painted around the world of forgotten worlds. At least thirty deities are widely known throughout the area , and many are more revered locally , by individual tribes , small cults or certain sects of larger religious temples.
