The religions of Oerth are as diverse as the creatures that inhabit the world. Each tribe or people interpreted their place within the supernatural world and these views evolved as each group migrated across the Flanaess. As each group clashed or mingled with another, their view would shift and so would their view of the supernatural. This many gods across the belief spectrum sometimes share or others compete for a responsibility. Still, we can largely attribute these deities and demigods to sub-pantheons based on the originating race or culture. Each is made of Greater deities, minor deities, and demigods (former mortals who've ascended into the realms of divinity).
Greater Deities:
In general, the greater gods have long since removed themselves from the daily affairs of the Flanaess peoples, instead focusing their attention on the ebbs and flows of the divine realms. This means that unless there is a direct threat or an event of divine importance, these deities do not concern themselves with what they view to be the trivialities of mortals.

Lesser Deities:
The lesser deities, on the other hand, vie for prominence within the world of men, seeking to be more widely worshipped, and therefore are slightly more receptive to entreaties for divine action in addition to their focus upon the divine realms and their individual spheres of influence. Very rarely will even a lesser deity become
directly involved within the lands of Oerth, although some of St. Cuthbert's followers believe that he may become directly involved in a war against Iuz.

Demigods: These divine entities are more recently ascended from mortal life, and their prime concerns are typically with the affairs of mortals. Generally, their followers are localized to a region as they continue to earn space within the divine realms.
