I'm finishing up my revamping of the Complete Guide to Immortals and I was wondering if you could help me with these two doubts I had.
I don't have access to Voyage of the PRincess Ark articles prior the timeline described in Champions of Mystara, so I'm particularly interested to know if there is any mention of "official" immortal patrons for the rakastas of Myoshima or any other race mentioned in the articles on Patera (the Invisible Moon) on Dungeon Mag.
I also would like to know if there is any clear and canon reference to the immortal patrons of the yazi and yazak goblinoids of the Savage Coast and where to find it.
Thanks for your help pals! ;)

Nope. No official Pateran/Myoshiman Immortals given anywhere, sadly.

It seems likely that Korikotu would be the patron of the Myoshimians, given their oriental style of culture. Also, what was the name of that Immortal Pachydermion you suggested as a Mystraran Buddha, Cthulhudrew? He could also be a good Immortal, and maybe Nephele, as the equivalent of the Japanese Sky goddes....
For the Yazak/Yazi I suggest Wogar, Karaash, Ranivorus, and maybe some of the Athruagin Immortals, as the Goblinoids seem
to have a native american style culture.
I know you were asking for official sources Marco, but these speculations were the best I could come up with

Of course there is, http://dnd.starflung.com/sc_camp.html
The Yazak/Yazi pantheon is composed of the following Immortals:
Ixion. Male. Revered in Narvaez, by goblinoids as Tabak, by wallaras as Warruntam the Eagle Spirit, and in Nimmur and Eshu as Idu. Hierarch of Energy. Any/Any. Ixion represents fire and sun, as well as a balance of passion and wisdom, power and scholarship. He is the eldest known Immortal of Energy.
...
The Yazi and Yazak goblinoids see Tabak as the ruler of the sun and the moon, the bringer of the seasons, and the maker of order.
Karaash. Male. Also known as Ilneval. Revered by the orcs of the Dark Jungle, and by the Yazak and Yazi goblinoids. Initiate of Thought. Chaotic or Neutral/Any. The patron of warriors among the tribes of orcs in the Dark Jungle, as well as among the Yazi and Yazak goblinoids, Karaash is the stern, uncompromising warleader, not given to rages or expressions of any emotions. He encourages strategic planning and proving personal strength in individual combat.
Terra. Female. Revered by the goblinoids as Yamag, in Cay as Cay, and in Jibarú as Mother-Earth or Marau-Ixuf. Hierarch of Matter. Lawful Neutral or Lawful Good/Lawful or Neutral. Terra, the most powerful of the Immortals of Matter, is concerned with the creation and protection of new life. The Yazi and Yazak goblinoids believe that Yamag is the keeper of the world. She insure new births to replace those who die, brings death to beings whose time has come, and keeps rivers and wells flowing.
So, the Yazak Pantheon includes Tabak (Ixion), Kaarash, and Yamag (Terra).
As we have discussed on the Italian board, Tabak and Yamag are common to goblinoids and Ethengars, which leads me to the idea that the Ethengar religion was influenced by the goblinoids.
