Gods of Waking Materia by Domain

Note for Storytellers: The Author uses the Pathfinder 2e classification system of Domains, however these purviews are self-explanatory and should be easily adaptable to other systems. One additional Domain found here is Kung Fu, representing the importance of unarmed techniques on this historically impoverished plane.

"Domain" is the Middish Common term for the general categories of purview or ideology possessed by the gods of Waking Materia. They manifest as "flavours" of Divine Quintessence held by these deities, who may then mete out fractions of this Quintessence to their clerics, oracles, mortal swords and empyreal sorcerers. This article classifies all deities worshipped on Waking Materia, past and present, including the Overbeings, Waking Gods and Duskscape Regents.

Minor pantheons like the Totem Kami, the Valkyries of Rom, the Archbishops of Dis, et cetera, are not mentioned here, but do contain gods of these domains, as determined by the Storyteller.

Gods listed in bold have that Domain as a primary focus.
