According to the D20 sourcebook, Khoronus, Thanatos and Mieroc are among those having more recently ascended to Godhood. We have had some fan discussions over at the Piazza linking Khoronus to the early days of Thonia, although canon states something like "a few centuries ago", linking him to the Duchy of Ten.
I think I mentioned Mieroc's ascension in my Dwarf/Gnome timeline.
Thanatos is older I think, but the D20 sourcebook does give him a mortal background. Thanatos also exists in both Mystara and the Wilderlands and this origin doesnt fit too well with him so I am tempted to ignore the mortal backround in his case.
There might be others, but I dont have the book with me right now.

Yeah, that's the one. There is some additional information on the churches of each god in the BMPG, but I don't think it is too relevant for this particular issue.
Oh, and I forgot the Peshwah Gods. With the exception of Hak, they were also mortal or lived among mortals (my impression at least). I was thinking of making them similar to the "Immortals" from the Horseclans series.

My idea exactly. I have a particular take on Khoronus that I will show sooner or later... :twisted:

If you want to include Mystara lore, then
this threadwill be useful.

So from this you add Ixion into the campaign, who is the only deity stated specifically to be as ancient as the universe?

BTW, an attentive reader might find that I am following a certain pattern in the LFC that might or might not be intentional...
Odin... Ixion... Fronaus... Ka... The three divine dragons... Pathmeer... Hella...
Where am I really going with the re-interpretations of the Blackmoorian deities...?
