Unnamed Gods In Order Of Appearance

Gods worshipped along the White Gull

Fisher-gods, Money-gods, Fryer-gods, Lanterns-in-darkness: these are the gods that the people along the river worship since the Trawler-man has been eradicated.

Stray God of Thunder

Hayward gives an anecdote about a god of thunder called by a little boy. The boy talked to the thunder by clapping his hands and imitating its noises, saying "it's okay, you can come in, I'm not afraid." The house was blown to bits, leaving the boy deaf and an orphan. Hayward's point with the story is that everyone wants a personal relationship with the divine and they aren't ready to handle the consequences or commitment.

Old Gods of the Harvest

Hayward brings up the gods of the old harvest- grinning scarecrows, leafy green-men and faceless corn-dolls- that were given up in favour of Sweet Jolly Crunchtooth and Old Jack of the Thousand Ears. It is implied a good number of the calls they get are for these kinds of deities. These gods are not sanctioned.

Gods of Healing

Carpenter talks about a deity in your wounds, of healing, that reminds you that it's there with pain. This may have been an allegory, and not a literal deity.

God of Pipes

The South Glottage Central Pumping Station is looking for someone to tend to the pumps.

God of Irony

A God of Irony made in the Linger Straits.

Thing in the Branches

A god that Mason stumbles across in his child, that sings like a bird. It could not be killed, but it lamented every time one of its disciples was killed.

Unnamed Luxury Brand Of Coffee

Sid Wright mentions it while recounting a conversation he had with his brother-in-law.

Unnamed Corporate God

All the information about it is given in Vaughan's brief, "Key brand values are Boldness, Connectivity, Future-Looking - that one’s an adjective, great job from the in-house team there - and Integrity."

Personal Gods of the Glottage Police Force

These gods are largely out-of-fashion now, especially since Devlin's Edicts formalized a licensing system for gods, so personal gods either became illegal or have fallen out of favor. Historically, officers would acquire relics and worship them until their own small gods were formed:

"It’s unreliable, but it can be done; you buy a fragment of some old broken-down shrine on the black market, a chipped finger or tendril from the reliquaries of a forgotten or outlawed god. And you worship it, hanging from your neck or stitched into your chest, day after day, in the hope that you can tease something out of it generate some kind of grace for yourself. A god of bullets so you’ll never miss. A bureaucratic god to help get you through the paperwork. And - formed from the smashed-up statuary and scriptures of the great propaganda deities that helped to turn the tide of the last war - a Rhetorical God to help your truth find sympathetic ears. Just in case that witness turns against you, or your evidence might not hold up to the closest of scrutiny." - Hayward

Proposed Work Programme Deity

Hayward tells Carpenter that if she cooperates then he will assign her to a work programme, "one of the marginal deities that’s in need of more followers, some minor sacred hedge or mound or an intensely dull fringe concept that hasn’t yet had a chance to truly blossom”.

Unnamed Militarised Wind-Gods
