Deities (or gods) are entities of great power that control some aspects of mortals lives.
Due to the Divine Pact, however, their power is limited to being given to clerics.
In addition to deity worship, many cultures also practice ancestor worship.

Pantheons
Sometimes gods are worshiped in groups, called pantheons.
Seven Divines
Akadi, Bahamut, Moradin, Oghma, Pelor, Sune, and Waukeen compose the Seven Divines. The Seven Divines are seen as the gods that want to help mortals the most and use their influence for good. The Seven Divines are commonly worshiped throughout the Kingdom of Goldmask and Inenbom. An seven-pointed star is commonly used as a symbol for the Seven.
Realmkeepers
Akadi, Eadro, Lolth, and Silvanus are sometimes worshiped as a group called the Realmkeepers. They are seen as keeping balance between the sky, the sea, the underdark, and the earth respectively. This is one of the few cases where Lolth is viewed as a good deity. The Realmkeepers are more commonly worshiped by elves to the east, in Yicalia and Voricia.
Dark Triumvirate
Lolth, Tiamat, and Vall make up the Dark Triumvirate. Worship of these gods is often shunned and discouraged, leading them to be worshiped in secret. This commonality united these gods and their followers, forming the Dark Triumvirate.
Elder Gods
Cyric, Jergal, Oghma, Pelor, Rend, and Xox are the Elder Gods, as they have always been gods. The other gods were once mortals but have ascended to godhood.
