The Oerth Pantheon (Greyhawk Campaign Setting)[]

The powers of Oerth make up one of the oldest and largest of the single-sphere pantheons. Its ranks include so many gods that it'd be fruitless to list them all; besides, they change so rapidly with the rise and fall of continental empires that any list'd be out of date before long.

Chant is Oerth is dying anyway, that the deities'd be just as happy leaving for greener pastures. Sadly for them, they're stuck here; apparently, they've got to fight it out on the world before they can try to expand onto the planes. Only a few bloods of the pantheon — like Celestian, god of travel — have made it beyond the crystal sphere, and that's because their portfolios appeal to bashers across the planes. Fact is, some of the deities are already worshipped (or at least respected) by many planars; they've got a decent chance of surviving the death throes of Oerth.

- On Hallowed Ground

The Greatest of Oerth[]

The six powers described below have the strength and desire to look beyond their own world. Celestian probably has the best shot at making it on the planes, but if any of the rest of the pantheon pulls through, it'll be this bunch. The others have realised their predicament too late, though it's remotely possible that a few of 'em could squeak through as well.
