The following is a summary of the gods typically worshipped on Riven. In Cassant, at least, there is a formal church dedicated to the worship of the gods altogether, but most people try to minimize the impact of religion in their lives.

Although there aren't any clerics or alignments in this game, I put both alignments and domains for each god, as it helps to define them, I think.

• Valennon: Neutral -- Knowledge, Magic, Chaos, Protection. Valnenon is the Smith, the Maker, the Laughter of the Gods. He delights in craftsmanship and creativity. He supposedly built the world itself, and carved canyons, blasted the craters and piled up the mountains.

• Gavamario: Lawful Neutral -- Law, War, Sun. Gavamario is known as the Warden of the Gods, the Virtuous Warrior and the Inflexible. He has a very controlling nature, and tired of the fragmented, chaotic manner in which the other gods worked. He once made a bid for control of the gods, but legend says he was rebuffed. Some legends link him with the sun, in which they say that he still makes an attempt to come out and watch what happens on the earth rather than indulge himself in his own projects in the heavens.

• Adever: Chaotic Neutral -- Destruction, Fire, Strength, War. Adever is also known as the Champion, the Warrior and the Strong One. He is unsophisticated and takes simple delight in feats of strength and combat. He dislikes Gavamario greatly for his controlling nature.

• Calossi: Lawful Neutral -- Air, Knowledge, Magic, Water. Calossi is also known as the Curious, the Strange One, the Mysterious and other names. She has always been obsessed with finding the secret of creating life, something none of this generation of gods has ever known. It is said that somewhere on the earth, strange people or creatures that are her creations actually live, although no one knows where or what they may be. It is also said that magic is her province, and many sorcerors and mages form mystery cults around her, although it's never been said that she particularly cares for them.

• Shenesesh: Neutral Evil -- Death, Luck, Travel, Trickery. Shenesesh is often called the Wily, the Trickster, the Dark One, or even the Traitor. Some believe that he is actually one of the Elder Gods rather than a true brother to the other gods. Certainly his agenda seems to be very different from his peers, and after his actions in the past, few trust him or love him. Thus he was often on the move, affecting plans, plots, or simply to create an alibi. Today, legend says he rules the Afterworld. The other gods come to collect those they choose from amongst mortals from him every so often, but he rules all those who fail to qualify to live with anyone else.

• Groisean: True Neutral -- Air, Fire, Earth, Water. Also known as the Green Man, the Hunter, the Wild Man of the Wilderness. Groisean is an aloof god with few worshippers, who loves the wild lands and has little, if any, love for mortals or their society.

• Treann: Chaotic Neutral - Luck, Death, Healing, Trickery. Treann is also known as the Whore, the Drunk, the Luck-goddess, and the Goddess of Love. Although a goddess of few faithful worshippers, she is a popular "weekend" goddess and many people throw a prayer her way before going out on the town. Her mystery cults are said to be spectacularly depraved and decadent.
