Real World Deities In Homebrew (Norse, Egyptian, Celtic, Greek, etc)
Odin
Zeus
Lugh
Ra
The gods of Oeyrna are the old gods of ancient Earth. Oeyrna was once connected to the ancient Earth, until it was separated from Earth in the turn of the 16th century. The gods grew bored of Earth centuries ago and for the most part, they're gone.
The Pantheon Of Oeryna.
Odin Odin is the god of death, wisdom and magic.
Zeus Zeus is the god of the sky.
Lugh Lugh is the god of occupations.
Ra Ra is the god of the sun.
Zirnitra Zirnitra is the god of sorcery. (Odin is more "Athena" while Zirnitra is more like "Ares").
Ao Kuang Ao Kuang is the god of the sea.
Rod is the god of Nature.
Though there are many other gods, these are the main gods of Oeyrna. The West is the home seat of three of these main gods, and thus is the most powerful and 'relevant" region in the world. Zirnitra and Ao Kuang demand Human sacrifice, and while Lugh LIKES it, he doesn't demand it. Odin accepts the "sacrifice" of a death in battle for him. The Empire's Pantheon accepts all the main six gods as their main Pantheon.
Question? What other Ancient Cultures should I include other than the Celtic, Egyptian, Greek, Norse, And Wendish?

Celtic will be hard because it is different depending on group. Celtic is basically a language family that is pretty fractured. So there is Gaulish, Brittonic, Gaelic, ect.

Slavic! Rod, Veles, etc. would fit right in.

Aztec is always cool. And Babylon; Everyone loves Nergal. And how about pre-islamic Arabia; like the high-flying ones Al-Lat, Al-'Uzza, and Manat, the third, the other. Also the Philistines; Dagon, et al. The pacific islands have some cool stuff too.
