I know there are more plane then I have listed, I know not all of them have gods or powers. I will also start adding gods in a little while since I needed to get that up before I add gods.
I must say thanks to Rip from RoE for realy helping out on placeing most of these gods/powers.
If you can cram that into a pdf, I'll be very happy!
Several Planescape web pages I've been to list alot of historical gods(Aztek/Mayan, Sumerian, Celtic) Maybe latter I'll come back with the links to those sights
One Question from someone who doesn't have Manual of the Planes:
Elemental Cold and Paraelemental Ice are the same place right?
MESOAMERICANS
Mesos: Obviously, gain favor by sacrifice. The sacrifices, since they cause an actual military/economic loss, will mean better myth units and myth techs relative to the other civs.
Units:
Heroes: like AOK, jaguar knights, eagle knights, etc. Also Priests--sacrifical knife attack allows little bit of favor for units not killed at altars, the ones who sacrifice units.
Titan--Tlaltecuhtli
<> Does crush damage, instant kill units around her by swallowing them in her many mouths. Tongues are like tentacles flailing.
Myth: butteflies with skull heads and razor sharp obsidian wings (image of TLAZOLTEOTL), giant ocelots (like leopards who came and ate the giants of the first age), primordial giants (giant aztec knights), feathered serpents, skeleton soldiers from MICTLANTECUHTLE as underworld depicted with dancing skeletons (IIRC).
Storm giant: made of dark clouds, lightning flickers around him. (Story of three storm giants who make lightning and rain)
Tzitzimime--Men and Women made of starlight that giggle like evil children.
<<"The tzitzimime ("Monsters descending from above") were celestial demons in Aztec mythology that continuously threaten to destroy the world. They are said to be the stars that battle the sun each dusk and dawn.">>
Vucub Caquix--giant bird that has special attack of snatching mortals and bringing them back to the altar
<< "In Mayan mythology, Vucub Caquix, Seven Macaw, was a large bird that dwelled on the surface of the world after the flood". >>
Double headed snakes:
<<"Coatlcue was represented as a woman. More often, however, she wore a skirt of snakes, and she had two dragon heads.">>
Dark Messengers--two-headed teleporting men:
<>
Gods:
1. Queztacoatl--Feathered Serpent. Myth units cheaper.
<>
2. Huitzilopochtli--Creator Warrior God. Increase unit damage.
Power--Arrow of the Sun--Sunray strikes area, causing some fire damage.
3. Teztapolitaca--God of Smoking Mirrors. Increases sacrificial power.
Power--Mirage: Selected unit has 1-4 illusionary versions. These have very few hitpoints and their attack does no damage.
nonplayer campaign god:
<>

Power--El Darado--Upgrades Town Center into golden palace, stonger and gold flows continuously.
TLAZOLTEOTL: the goddess of impurity. Upgrades myth units and attacks against enemy temples. Power-Putrefy--Prevents Gathering of Food across map.
Celts:
Favor--Favor is tied to the king and his land, so you have a "pharoah" unit similar to king arthur. The amount of land owned would be determined by circles expanding from the town center. Land owned is the radius that contains your buildings without containing your enemy's.
The king: The king ties into the strength of the land. So long as the king is alive, farms are much more effecient and this can improve with upgrades. Also, the more land owned the better health and attack for the king.
Units:
Myth: Usual medieval stuff, unicorns, dragons, faeries, goblins, etc.
Titan: flaming wickerman (may have been done in Warrior Kings Battles?). Causes fire damage and crush damage.

Campaign Gods (fit into the story somewhere):
Apsu
"The Epic of Creation (Enuma Elish): Tablet I"
He is the underworld ocean, and the begetter of the skies and of the earth. The father of Lahmu, Lahamu, Anshar and Kishar. He could not quell the noise of them or their children. He colluded with his vizier Mummu to silence the gods and allow Tiamat to rest, after Tiamat rejected the idea. Ea found out about his plans, cast a sleeping spell on him and killed him.
(Dalley pp. 232-235, 318)
Tiamat
"The Epic of Creation (Enuma Elish): Tablets I-III"
She is primeval Chaos, bearer of the skies and the earth, mother of Lahmu, Lahamu, Anshar, and of Kishar. Traditionally conceived of as aserpent or dragon of some sort, this idea does not have any basis in the Enuma Elish itself. Within that work her physical description includes, a tail, a thigh, "lower parts" (which shake together), a belly, an udder, ribs, a neck, a head, a skull, eyes, nostrils, a mouth, and lips. She has insides, a heart, arteries, and blood. The clamor of the younger gods disturbed her, but she continued to indulge them. When her husband Apsu and his vizier Mummu suggested that they kill the younger gods, she grew furious, calmed down and rejected the plan. Her restless subservient gods goaded her into action after Apsu is slain. They prepared to wage war against the other gods. As Mother Hubur, the underworld river, who fashions all things, she bore giant snakes with venom for blood, and cloaked dragons with a godlike radiance yet with a terrible visage, for the war. She rallied a horned serpent, a mushussu-dragon, a lahmu-hero, a ugallu-demon, a rabid dog, a scorpion-man, umu-demons, a fish-man, a bull-man, and eleven others underneath her champion and new lover, Qingu. She gave Qingu the Tablet of Destinies to facilitate his command and attack.
(Dalley pp. 231-249)

When Erra takes Marduk's seat, Ishum persuades him against destroying Babylon, finally appeasing him by promising that the other gods would acknowledge themselves as his servants.>>

Taken from the back of the book:
Written for Dungeon Masters and players, this 192-page, full-color book includes:
* 20 separate pantheons detailing the powers worshipped by humans, demihumans, and monsters (including the deities of the AD&D game worlds). Zeus, Sung Chiang, Gruumsh, Takhisis - they're all here, based on chant from Legends & Lores, the Deities & Demigods book, Monster Mithology, and AD&D game world sources.
* New ideas and rules for priest characters on the planes.
* Tips on creating, visiting, and surviving divine realms.
* A look at powers favored by factions and planewalkers.
* Comprehensive appendices listing gods by pantheons and portfolio.
* Full-color maps of realms glorious and infernal.

ok the idea here is to list where all the gods that we can think of (out of any sorce) and powers (like orcus and such) and any domains they can give (thats the second part I can do that if need be).
Just wanted to ask, are you putting in gods from non-canon sources (that is, gods that don't appear in a (A)D&D product)? If so, I find this list would quickly become cluttered and less useful.
As an aside, this list would be exponentially more helpful if it was annotated.
That said, I found some things that seem to be wrong, and have addressed them below:
Material Plane's
Gods
Fharlanghn, Artha, Gargauth, the Forgotten God of the Yikaria, Iuz, Four Dragon Kings, Wastri, Sardior
Powers
Gaea, Beory
Beory is a deity, not "just" a power. Also, from Dragon Annual #1 (it might have been #2, but I'm pretty sure its #1) there is also the demigod Dukagsh, the scro deity, who lives on the Material Plane.
Etheral Plane
Gods
Ptah, Solinari, Nuitari, Lunitari, Ezra (Ravenloft), Zhakasta (Ravenloft), Sixin the Hunter, Tsolorandril, Tharizdun (demiplane of imprisonment)
Powers
Dark Powers (Ravenloft), Neth
I'm slightly leery of having Ezra and Zakhata in there...we don't know if Ezra is real or not, and we know Zakhata doesn't really exist; its a false god with spells and powers supplied by the Dark Powers.
Plane of Shadow
Gods
Shar
Powers
unknown
What, Gwydion (trapped in a portal between the Plane of Shadow and Ravenloft) doesn't get a mention?
Elemental Plane of Air
Gods
Shu, Chao Kung Ming, Chih-Sung-Tzu, Fei Lien, Feng Po, Wen Chung, Stribog
Powers
Akadi (the Great Funnel), Chan, Husam al-Balil ben Nafhat al-Yugayyim, Yan-C-Bin
Akadi is a deity, not a "mere" power.
Elemental Plane of Earth
Gods
Geb, Volos
Powers
Grumbar, Kabril Ail al-Sara al-Zalazil, Ogremoch, Sunnis
Grumbar is a deity, not a "mere" power.
Elemental Plane of Fire
Gods
Svarog, Svarozhich, Kaelthiere
Powers
Imix, Kossuth, Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazan, Zaaman Rul, Amaimon
Kossuth is a deity, not a "mere" power.
Elemental Plane of Water
Gods
Tefnut, Eadro, Persana, Blibdoolpoolp, Ahto, Osprem, Xerbo, Svantovit
Powers
Ben-Hadar, Istishia, Kalbari al-Durrat al-Amwaj ibn Jari, Olhydra
Istishia is a deity, not a "mere" power.
Positive Energy Plane
Gods
Brahma, Elishar
Powers
Unknown
What, Ashardalon (from Bastion of Broken Souls) doesn't count?
Ash
Gods
Vecna
Powers
Gazra
Vecna does not now, nor does he ever, live on Ash. This is a popular misconception.
Vecna Lives! introduced Citadel Cavitius, which was Vecna's prison colony on Ash, but it never says that Cavitius was his home. Likewise, the next product dealing with Vecna, Ravenloft's Domains of Dread, says that Vecna lived on "the Outer Planes" before he was dragged into Ravenloft. The Player's Guide to Greyhawk simply listed Vecna's current whereabouts at that time, citing Ravenloft also.
After Vecna broke free from Ravenloft in Die Vecna Die!, that product merely stipulates that he settles in "whatever celestial realm over Oerth". We finally get a more definitive answer in the Living Greyhawk Journal, which states that Vecna has a "secret citadel" on the Material Plane. Thus, Vecna's entry should be over there.
Ooze
Gods
Ghaunadaur
Powers
Baron Bwimb
To be most correct, Bwimb is dead (from Dead Gods), and his daughter, Bwimb II, has tried to assume his position (from The Inner Planes).
Limbo
Gods
Sirrion, Huan-Ti, Agni, Indra, Vayu, Fenmarel Mestarine, Tempus, the Red Knight, Shina-tsu-hiko, Susanoo, Procan, Ralishaz, Rudd, Llerg, Norebo, Astilabor, Kereska
Powers
Chourst, Rennbuu, Ssendam, Ygorl
A fifth slaad lord introduced in a recent issue of Dungeon (101 or so?) was Bazim-Gorag, a two-headed slaad lord of fire. He was trapped on the Material Plane for a while though, so you may want to list him there instead.
Tarterian Depths of Carcri
Gods
Nerull, Kiputytto, Surma, Raiden, Talona, Grolantor, Scorpion, Falazure, Karontor, Parrafaire, Vhaeraun, Malar, Stribog, Beltar, Karaan, Yeathan
Powers
Apomps, Coeus, Crius, Hecatoncheire, Kronos, Oceanus, Tethys, Hyperion, Mnemosyne, Themis, Iapetus, Phebe, Thea, Bubonix, Tartarachus
Kiputytto doesn't live in Carceri...she's a little too dead for that. Talona slew her and her (Kiputytto's) corpse is on the Astral with the other dead gods.
Also, Cholerix is also on Carceri, serving Bubonix (for an exhorbitant fee) on how to construct the Tower of Incarnate Pain. Cholerix is mentioned under Bubonix's entry in the article that talks about the other altraloths, in that issue of Dragon (what was that, Annual 3?).
Gray Waste of Hades
Gods
Kelemvor, Jergal, Yutrus, Morgion, Abbathor, Karaulyek, Nergal, Ereshkigal, Incabulos, Hel, Arawn, Ratri, Mask, Shar, Hades, Persephone, Chthonia, Hecate, Cegilune, Panzuriel, Mictlantecuhtli, Mectecacihuatl, Khogaotl, Pyremius, Syrul, Kr'tx, Yeathan
Powers
The Furies, Cerberus, the Oinoloth, Nidhogg, Garm, the Moirae
You might also want to mention Anthraxus, along with Typhus, as they live on this plane.
Bleak Eternity of Gehenna
Gods
Apep, Sargonnas, Gaknulak, Chih-Chiang Fyu-ya, Squerrik, Math Mathonwy, Loviatar, Sung Chiang, Bhaal, Baum, Iyachtu Xvim, Memnor, Maanzecorian, Velsharoon, Shargaas, Mellifleur, Syrul, Scahrossa, The Patient One, The Xammux
Powers
Moloch, the General of Gehenna
Several issues here. Bhaal and Iyachtu Xvim are both dead, as is Maanzecorian. Scahrossa, The Patient One, and the Xammux never had home planes listed, so these are just guesses on your part.
We are, to my knowledge, never told Moloch lives here. After leaving Hell, the only place we next see him is on some Prime world in The Apocalypse Stone, so you may want to list him as being on the Material Plane.
Also, an awnsheighlien (from the Birthright setting) named The Blowfish lives on Gehenna (its referenced in Planes of Conflict).
Nine Hells of Baator
Gods
Tiamut, Kurtulmak, Set, Takhisis, Bargrivyek, No Cha, Sekolah, Druaga, Hecate, Fia-So, the Red Crane, Inanna, Ycse, Ezeboam, Kriesha, Emma-O, Piscaethces the Blood Queen, P'kk, Scahrossar
Powers
Asmodeus the Hidden, Bel the Warlord, Dispater the Archduke, Fierana the Fiery Lady, Geryon the Forgotten One, Malagard the Hag Countess, Minauros the Viscount, Triel the Fallen, Mammon, Levistus, Armaros, Glasya, Iblis, Belial, Iadalbaoth, Urakbarameel, Esdreel, Hakael, Rahbad, Beleth, Dagon, Furcas, Baalzephon, Bist, Bune, Nergal, Vuall, Malgrin, Antaia, Naamah
Where to start...most of those last ones (after Iblis, Bune, Vuall, Malgrin, Antaia, etc.) are from Green Ronin's Legions of Hell which isn't strictly D&D. Likewise, you have listed Minauros and Mammom...the two are one and the same.
[]Concordant Domain of the Outlands
Gods
Boccob, Obad-Hai, Thoth, Gilean (the Hidden Vale), Shinare (Marketplace Eternal), Bes, Yen-Wang-Yeh, Io-Chronepsis, Untamo, Ilsensine, Shekinester, Semuanya, Vergadain, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Dumathoin, Annam, Gilean, Alathrien Druanna, Sheela Peryroyl, the Daghda, Oghma, Manannan, Nehalennia, Nemhain, the Morrigan, Silvanus, Nuada, Goibhniu, Dunastis, Andraste, Angus mac Og, Epona, Danu, Perun, Tvashtri, Gond, Svantovit, Kragalitec, Zilchus, Zagyg, Sera, Waukeen, Ramman, Apshai, Erik, Istus, Ulaa, Bleredd, Xan Yae, Geshtai, Gzemnid, Xiuhtechuhtli, Tirag Thunderhooves
Powers
The Norns, The Lady of Pain?[/b]
Another altraloth lives there also...I can't recall the name, but it began with an X.
Region of Dreams
Gods
Hypnatia, Phobetor, Phantasia
Powers
The Ghost Dancer, Hypnos, Morpheus, Mullonga, the Nightmare Man, the Rainbow Serpent
All of these Powers belong under the Ethereal Plane listing, since all of them are trapped firmly in Ravenloft. They can affect the Region of Dreams, but cannot truly enter it.
Far Realm
Gods
Kthanid, Mordiggian, Ithaqua, Cthulhu, Cthuga, Orryx, Vorvadoss, Arwassa, Baoht Z'uqqa-Mogg, Bugg-Shash, Byatis, Cthylla, Cynothoglys, Gloon, Dho-spawn, Gol-goroth, Green God, Hydra, Iod, Juk-Shabb, Lloigor, M'nagahah, Nug, Yeb, Ossadagowah, Othuum, Q'yth-az, God of the Red Flux, Rlim Shaikorth, Saaitii, Sebek, Summanus, Vibur, Vulthoom, Yegg-ha, Ythogtha, Zu-che-quon, Ancient Ones, Ghroth, Larvae of the Outer Gods, Star Mother, Tru'nembra, Yidhra
Powers
Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Hastur, Yog-Sothoth
Apart from their entry in the original Deities & Demigods, which did not list their home planes if I recall rightly (it certainly didnt say the Far Realm) the Cthulhu Mythos isn't D&D, so you may not want to list it here.
Are you willing to help me from the ground up if so we can start Alzrius. Plus I would help if I defind powers better for this.
My first step in a little while is to take out the gods that dont realy look like they should go (which you pointed outed out). Ill try and get part two up some time today.
Also any help on part two when I get it posted would be nice since some of the gods I have no clew as what they do or where they god (mostly ones from grayhawk).
Other then the first thing we need to place all the grayhawk gods then the FRs ones. Then we move on from there (and use the better vershons for part to for domains and such).

I'd love to help! The first thing to do is dig out my copy of On Hallowed Ground from the attic. I should be able to do that over the weekend. That aside, a sources catalogue would help also, as would annotations, if possible.
To be honest, I recommend getting rid of the Powers part. For one thing "powers" has been used as a synonym for "gods" before, so it creates confusion. Likewise, listing all the gods is daunting enough...listing near-divine beings also is even tougher.
Other then the first thing we need to place all the grayhawk gods then the FRs ones. Then we move on from there (and use the better vershons for part to for domains and such).
Shouldn't be hard if we use the 2E sourcebooks, since they were more holistic in general.
Also once we gain all the base gods done then we can try and fit gods that should not realy be there (well thats another part).

Thats looks to be a good restart I hope.
Please rite everything you know about them, and I will be very grateful.
Also the Altraloth on the Outlands mentioned earlier, his name is Xenghara.
I'd also list Apomps as a genuine deity, though I'm not sure what he's actually classified as in OHG. He may just be a Quasi power, however he does grant spells to the Gehreleths and he's usually referred to as a god, so make your own call

OHG says "he's not a full power." What ever that means.
P.S You don't happen to know anything about his stats...hmm??:D
Regardless of whether he's related to them by way of a fall from law to chaos, he's less randomly destructive than most of his Abyssal relatives. He'll occasionally pause before any non Tanar'ri who wander across his path over the course of wanderings, and, rather than butcher them on the spot he'll hire them to perform tasks for him, paying them even. Of course you'd be a fool to assume he'd do the same to every sod who finds him, he is after all an Abyssal lord, seemingly less chaotic or not.
That's the gist of the info in Hellbound.
A mass greyness that any immortal comes upon if trying to phase into higher than the 5 dimensions. This Plane is enless and Immortals can be lost for ages or forever if they wander to far. If a immortal whether "god" or not is sucked into the "vortex" they are gone forever.
Only creatures known as "blackballs" seem to be able to enter and leave the 6th dimentional vortex unharmed
BEYOND THE 6th DIMENSIONAL VORTEX
Immortals (the gods) did not create the Planes of existence, they came from within the normal processes of Existance itself and began to organixe and rule the Planes they squated on, explorered, and conquered.
The 6th Dimensonal Vortex as a strong "created feel" to it and the Immortals speculate with their great intellect and Wisdom (and therefore correctly) that the Vortex was created by more powerful beings that the "gods" that they refer to as the "OLD ONES" though they do not know why.
They are of course right and Overlord Ao is in fact one of the "Old Ones" that cultivated the Spheres and put "gods" in charge of their perpestive projects and created the 6th Dimensinal vortex to limit where the Immortals can go and the "Old Ones" Occupy the 7th and Higher Dimensions. Therefore there are many "Spheres" with their own "gods" and pantheons runned by their own overgod.
THE DIMENSIONAL CEILING
Barriar that even the "Old Ones" can't pass and they know not whats beyond it
Within the Dimesional Cieling are the "Ancient Ones" that watch the "Old Ones" like the "Old Ones" watch the "gods" and the "gods" watch over mortals :D (They didn' create existence either as they to are "being watched"

I have heard of it (Legends & Lores) yes its not like I can get a free PDF of it. Its hard to get.
I have a copy of L&L (2nd Edition) in my loft, I heard that the book had to be axed because of a legal dispute. It had information about Lankmar that TSR had aparantly used without permission of the owner. From what I heard, someone thought that copyright had run out and Lankmar was now open source, but all the names of Lankmar characters, gods, monsters and other things had been trademarked.
If that rumor is true then it would be illegal for WotC to allow anyone to distribute a PDF of the book. Perhaps one of the companies that sells PDFs of 2e and 1e stuff can produce a cut down version with the Lankmar chapter cut out of it.
To my non-lawyer brain that should sort out the problem, however the PDF printers might be too scared to touch it with a barge pole!

TSR had a license to use Fritz Lieber's Nehwon setting, so 2e Legends & Lore was 100% street legal. They don't have that license anymore, so it probably isn't available in .pdf format.
What you're probably thinking of is way back in 1980 there was a 1e book called Deities & Demigods which included gods, characters, and monsters from the Cthulhu mythos and Michael Moorcock's Elric series. Chaosium had the license to use these gods in RPGs. TSR got their permission to use them in Deities & Demigods' first printing, but had to take them out of subsequent printings. The copy of 1e Deities & Demigods that I have just doesn't have those chapters. It still has the Nehwon chapter, since TSR had the license for that.

Thanks for the history lesson. I stand corrected.
It is a shame that the Newhon stuff is in there though because if it wasn't everyone could get the PDF to see information about the other pantheons that are not in the 3e Deities & Demigods. :-(

In the above list, "Power" refers to powerful planar entities that don't rely on mortal worship to survive or prosper, even if they have divine ranks. At least, that's what I decided it meant, and most of it was compiled by me. Law came up with the format, but he didn't explain what the difference between a Power and god is, so I divided them the way I wanted them.
So Primus would be a Power by that definition, as would the elemental rulers, the primal titans and their parents, and so on. That's why the list seems odd. One of the reasons, anyway. The other reason is the plentiful number of non-canonical deities.

The Player's Guide to Greyhawk simply listed Vecna's current whereabouts at that time, citing Ravenloft also.
The next place Vecna was mentioned was actually the original Planescape boxed set. Since both the Planescape boxed set and Vecna Lives! were written by David Cook, and because the Planescape box assures us that Vecna does indeed dwell in Cavitius (and that he drove out the Doomguard who originally lived there), we can assume that this was the original intention.
"Here the Doomguard once had Citadel Cavitius, a massive skull fortress that sat on the edge of the Negative Energy Plane. Eons ago it was taken from them by the lich Vecna, and now it's that demigod's prison and stronghold." - DM's Guide to the Planes, p.37.
From the POWERS BY PLANE poster map:
"ASH
Vecna"
Cavitius is Vecna's home. Domains of Dread is incorrect in this instance, and guilty of shoddy research. We really can't expect people trapped on the demiplane of Dread to know much about the planes, anyway, so all is forgiven.
This might be irrelevant as I'm not sure that the Nightmare Man (much less the rest of the retinue) count as a power though. If anyone is interested in checking I'd love to know if the creators were the same as the people who worked on the planescape Doorways (to the Unknown?) module. Both deal with higher and lower "realities".

Don't have it with me but I believe the Nighmare Lands boxed set does indeed place the Nightmare Court in the Plane of Dreams rather than in the Ethereal. It *might* be possible to escape RL through the realm of the court but as its almost impossible to get to and even harder to leave thats an adventure in its own right.
At the time, and perhaps still, the border between the near and deep ethereal surrounding prime worlds and populated demiplanes contained a region known as a wall of color. It was upon this border that dreams manifested within the ethereal near/deep border. The 3e optional 'realm of dreams' contains material that is word for word pulled from the 2e Planescape 'Guide to the Ethereal' description of dreamscapes upon the wall of color at that border.
As such, I believe the 'plane of dreams' associated with the Nightmare Court was simply that border region in the ethereal surrounding the demiplane of dread itself near that particular domain.
