Discworld gods

The Discworld gods are the fictional deities from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Most of them live in a valhalla-like mountain-top kingdom in the centre of the Discworld called Dunmanifestin (a pun on the traditional British house name Dunroamin). This is probably caused by the massive size of the Cori Celesti, the mountain upon which Dunmanifestin stands, as this mountain can be seen from anywhere on the disc on a clear day, and has likely made lasting impressions on most of the original myth-creators.

Gods on the Discworld exist as long as people believe in them and their power grows as their followers increase. This is a philosophy echoing the real-world politics of the power of religion and is most detailed in the novel Small Gods.

Discworld demons are also considered gods, more or less. Beings which are not considered gods or demons, but whom it is advisable to treat as such, include the Auditors, the Creator, the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions and Death.

Miscellaneous Djelibeybian gods

• The Djelibeybians also recognize Blind Io as the Supreme God.

Alohura

The lightning goddess of the beTrobi people. Mentioned in The Colour of Magic.

Aniger

Aniger is a minor goddess of squashed animals. She is a relatively recent addition to the Discworld pantheon, appearing only after some developments relating to the speed of carts and quality of roads. Mentioned in The Last Hero.

Anoia

The minor goddess of Things That Stick in Drawers, Anoia is praised by rattling a drawer and crying "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it? Who bought this? Do we ever use it?". She also eats corkscrews. The Maccalariat family of Ankh-Morpork have been Anoians for five generations. She is not, strangely, part of the number of gods praised at the Temple of Small Gods. Mentioned in Going Postal.

Astfgl

Astfgl is a Demon Lord, appearing in Eric. At the start of the book he has been made King of Hell, and his modern, go-ahead attitude is driving the other demons to distraction. By the end, thanks to the machinations of his more old-fashioned rival Vassengo, he has been "promoted" to Life President of Hell, a job that consists of writing "policy statements" while Vassengo rules in his stead.

Astoria

The Ephebian Goddess of Love, held in extremely low regard by the god Om and sister to the goddess Patina. She bribed Rhome of Tsort to steal and hide the Golden Falchion, in return she gave Elenor of Tsort to Rhome. Mentioned in Small Gods and Discworld Noir.

Her name is a reference to the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel.

The Auditors of Reality

The Auditors of Reality are supernatural entities and celestial bureaucrats. They make sure that gravity works, file the appropriate paperwork for each chemical reaction, and so forth. The Auditors hate life, because it's messy and unpredictable, which makes them fall behind on their paperwork; they much prefer barren balls of rock orbiting stars in neat, easily predictable elliptical paths. They really hate humans, who are much more messy and unpredictable than other living things.

Fortunately for living things, the Auditors can't simply wipe out life, because that's against the Rules; the Auditors can't break the Rules because, in a certain sense, they are the Rules. Unfortunately, a loophole exists in the Rules which allows the Auditors to influence humans into doing what they cannot do directly; in several of the Discworld novels, the Auditors hire humans to perform tasks that will make the world less "messy", paying them with the gold they created out of thin air using their abilities to manipulate reality.

Being personifications of a concept, the Auditors have no fixed shape. When they manifest in the world, however, they almost always appear as empty grey cowled robes, an appearance which conveys drabness and dullness rather than danger.

The Auditors have no discerning characteristics among themselves and function as a collective; when one speaks, it speaks for all of them, and each Auditor works uniformly with countless numbers of other Auditors. In the rare cases when an Auditor appears to develop an individual personality (such as using a personal pronoun to refer to itself or experiencing an emotion) it spontaneously ceases to exist. This happens because, as far as the Auditors are concerned, to have a personality is to be a living being with a beginning and an end, the intervening time between which seems infinitely small to entities who have experienced eternity. This does not seem to have any impact on the rest of the Auditors except maybe as an example to be avoided, because another Auditor immediately takes the place of its vapourised colleague.

Interestingly, the primary opponent of the Auditors' plans for eliminating life is Death. Death does not see himself as the enemy of life, but rather an integral part of it, giving rest to the old and weary, and ensuring that the world doesn't become completely stuffed with life. He has also, over the millennia of performing his function, developed a certain fondness for the humans he ushers into the world beyond.

The Auditors of Reality have appeared in the Discworld novels Reaper Man, Hogfather and Thief of Time.

Bast

Bast is the Djelibeybian cat-headed God of Things Left on the Doorstep or Half-digested Under the Bed. The name is shared with the historical Egyptian cat-goddess more typically known as Bastet. Terry Pratchett has also mentioned Bast with regard to his theory of cat-naming in The Unadulterated Cat; that a cat's name is for shouting, and should be short, sharp and sound somewhat like invective.

He is mentioned in Pyramids and appears in The Last Hero.

Bel-Shamharoth

Bel-Shamharoth is also known as the "Soul-Eater," the "Soul-Render," or the "Sender of Eight." He is completely lacking in vitality so therefore cannot even be considered Evil. He is the opposite of Good and Evil. He is likely one of the creatures of the Dungeon Dimensions who has survived in our world. The inner dimensions of his eight-sided temple disobey a fairly basic rule of architecture by being bigger on the inside than on the outside, like many other Discworld buildings. It is quite disgusting, full of tunnels covered with unpleasant carvings and disjointed skeletons, and lit by a violet light almost black. The eight-sided crystals set at intervals shed a rather unpleasant glow that does not light the room, rather emphasizing the darkness. The floor is covered with eight-sided tiles (impossible for a regular octagon, but possible for some irregular eight-sided figures) and the walls slope to create eight-sided corridors. Even the stones can sometimes be seen to have eight sides. All routes lead to the centre, where an intense violet light illuminates a wide room with eight walls and eight passages. In the room, there is a low, eight-sided altar and a huge stone slab, also eight-sided, and slightly tilted. Under that is a black tentacled creature with an enormous eye and thousands of suckers and tentacles and mandibles: Bel-Shamharoth.

The temple is long since abandoned, worship of the Sender of Eight being a decidedly short term prospect. These days he is mostly remembered in the name of the Young Men's Reformed Cultists of the Ichor God Bel-Shamharoth Association. His likeness is etched on the cover of the Octavo.

Bibulous

The God of Wine and Things on Sticks. He appears as a large, overly-merry man in a toga. In Tsort he is also known as Smimto, and Tuvelpit in Ephebe. He never gets a hangover (those are part of Bilious' portfolio), but he does get the unpleasant side-effects when Bilious takes a hangover cure. The effects of this link, should either ever drink time-reversed alcohol such as vul-nut wine, is undiscovered.

He appears in Hogfather, The Last Hero, and is mentioned (under his other identities) in Small Gods.

Bilious

The "Oh God of hangovers". His reason for being is to feel the after-effects of drinking, instead of the god Bibulous (the Discworld's Bacchus). He is one of the characters who appears during the events of Hogfather, due to there being a lot of unused belief floating around.

Thanks to the wizards of the Unseen University Bilious' symptoms are reversed for a time and he is able to help Susan on her quest (and make Bibulous feel thoroughly miserable by means of a few select alcoholic beverages). While most of the beings created in Hogfather disappeared at the end, it is possible he remained because of the belief that Violet (a tooth fairy) had in him, in which case he may have begun a relationship with her, and started a career as a temp-worker for gods that want a holiday.

Blind Io

Blind Io is the current king of the gods. Io means "I see", and in nature he is seemingly an amalgam of Odin and Zeus, with elements of Thor — seen primarily in his use of a number of different hammers (seventy, actually, as detailed by Om in Small Gods). He is completely blind in the traditional sense but instead has countless eyes, which seem to have a mind of their own, orbiting his head. He was eventually compelled to get rid of his raven messengers because of their species' instinctual desire for devouring eyeballs. He lives in Dunmanifestin where he and the other gods play games with the lives of mortals.

Blind Io is a thunder god. Actually, Io is the only thunder god on the Disc. He goes by many names and appearances to make sure he keeps the optimal amount of followers. This is not really unfair because all the other gods use the same trick.

He also has an apparent monopoly on the natural phenomenon of thunder, as detailed by Om in Small Gods, who stated that lightning was allowed for common use by all deities but thunder was strictly regulated.

C'hulagen

One of the hideous and old Dark Gods of the Necrotelicomnicon. Never stated, but like Bel-Shamharoth, it's likely to be a creature originating from the Dungeon Dimensions which has managed to survive in this reality. Mentioned in Equal Rites.

Ceno

A "rather liberal" god in the opinion of Constable Visit-the-Infidel-with-Explanatory-Pamphlets, "not big on commandments". His followers died out fighting some of the most gruesome wars in the history of the Unnamed Continent. An excerpt from the Cenotine "Book of Truth" was the Chem of the golem Dorfl, until Carrot Ironfoundersson purchased him, set him free and replaced it with the receipt of the purchase.

Cephut

The Djelibeybian God of Cutlery. At the wedding of Peloria and Theta, Cephut started an argument with Patina over the Golden Falchion. Mentioned in Pyramids and Discworld Noir.

The Creator

The Discworld Creator appears in Eric. He is a little rat-faced man with a put-upon voice made for complaining with, who created the Discworld while the main universe was being built, and it was obviously on a budget. It is clear that World Creation is purely a mechanical function and doesn't call for godlike attributes.

He was not responsible for creating of the rest of the Universe, and is somewhat disparaging of it, describing the Big Bang as "showy". After creating the Discworld, he left behind his personal grimore, the Octavo. This was, apparently, typical absent-mindedness; he says he once created a world and completely forgot the fingles. No-one noticed, because they evolved there and didn't know there should be fingles, but they could tell there was something missing somewhere, and it caused them deep psychological problems.

Two other Creators are also introduced in Pratchett's The Last Continent. One is an old aborigine man with a sack, who draws his designs out carefully and is busy creating the continent of XXXX (which resembles Australia). The other, in the same novel, is the god of evolution. He sticks each animal together individually, piece by piece and then commands it to adapt to the most useful form. His greatest and most pleasing creation is the cockroach.

Rincewind is believed to have had a hand in creating humans on the Discworld, as described in The Last Continent, on one of his trips back in time he dropped a prawn sandwich into a rockpool, and he believes that this may have kick started evolution, and isn't happy about it. This actually seems to happen in Eric, but the sandwich is of a different type.

Czol

The goddess Czol was an ancient goddess of Thut before that land sank under the sea some 9,000 years ago. One does not ask about her. Mentioned in Going Postal.

Errata

The Goddess of Misunderstandings. This little known goddess was the cause of the Tsortean Wars, not, as most people believe, Elenor. Understandably not the most liked goddess, Errata wasn't invited to many weddings, one of which was Peloria and Theta's. She was not pleased, and so devised a plan for revenge. She had Neoldian make a golden falchion with "For the Strongest" engraved on it. This caused a fight between almost 80 different war gods. Luckily Neoldian had also engraved "Batteries Not Included" on the falchion, which fortunately for Errata, caused an argument between Patina, who thought the sword was a subtly observed metaphor for the hopelessness of existence, and Cephut, who thought it was big knife. In the end it became so heated that Astoria bribed Rhome of Tsort to steal and hide the falchion just to shut her sister up. In return, Astoria gave Elenor to Rhome and the resulting extra-marital confusion blew up into the Tsortean Wars. Mentioned in Discworld Noir.

Fate

One of the Discworld's most implacable, and difficult to understand gods. He looks like a pleasant, middle-aged man, but his eyes are starry voids. It is possible (although difficult) to bargain with him, but proverbially impossible to cheat him (although it has been done at least once). He generally plays games with mortals against the Lady, and always plays to win. He appears in The Colour of Magic, Interesting Times and The Last Hero.

Fedecks

Fedecks is the Messenger of the Gods, the Ephebian version of Hermes. His name is a pun on FedEx. There was previously a golden statue in the Ankh-Morpork Post Office which may have portayed him. If so, he appears as a radiant figure in a winged hat, winged sandals and a winged fig leaf. He is mentioned in Small Gods and Discworld Noir, and the statue appears in Going Postal.

Flatulus

The Ephebian God of the Winds. He is mentioned in Small Gods and Discworld Noir, and appears in The Last Hero.

Foorgol

The Ephebian God of Avalanches. Mentioned in Small Gods.

Glipzo

The Howondalandish tribe of this Goddess believed that their ancestors resided in the Moon. After a signal from their ancesters (an unusually large flare from the Moon) they where urged to kill anyone who didn't believe in Glipzo. Three years later the tribe was destroyed by a rock falling out of the sky, as a result of a star exploding a billion years before. Mentioned in The Last Hero.

God of Evolution

The paradoxical God of Evolution appears briefly in The Last Continent, where he is found 'sculpting' animals. Since he hasn't figured out reproduction yet, he makes every animal unique.

Although no-one believes in the God of Evolution, he survives thanks to his own strong belief. He does not believe in himself, because he is an atheist, but he believes in what he does. During events detailed in The Last Continent, he briefly takes on Ponder Stibbons as an apprentice.

Herne the Hunted

The god of hunted animals. A parody of Herne the Hunter, he appears as a small figure with floppy rabbit ears, small horns and a good turn of speed. Mentioned in Wyrd Sisters and appears in Lords and Ladies.

Hoki the Jokester

A trickster figure, who often appears as an oak tree, or a half-goat, half-human figure, but according to Granny Weatherwax is most often seen in his manifestation as a bloody nusiance. He plays the flute badly, and was thrown out of Dunmanifestin for pulling "the old exploding mistletoe trick" on Blind Io. He parodies various characteristics of Loki and Pan.

Hyperopia

The Goddess of Shoes. She has a small following that gathers in the Temple of Small Gods and worships the Sacred Lace of Hyperopia. Mentioned in Discworld Noir.

Ikebana

The Goddess of Topiary, worshipped by the Militant Servitors of Ikebana. Mentioned in Discworld Noir.

The Insider

One of the hideous and old Dark Gods of the Necrotelicomnicon. Never stated, but it's likely to be a creature originating from the Dungeon Dimensions which has managed to survive in this reality. Mentioned in Equal Rites.

Jimi

The god of beggars. The Ankh-Morpork Beggars' Guild has a statue of him. Mentioned in Men at Arms.

Khefin

The Djelibeybian Two-Faced God of Gateways. The last known High Priest of Khefin was the bald-headed; Hoot Koomi, who served during the Year of the Cobra. Mentioned in Pyramids.

The Lady

The Goddess Who Must Not Be Named. She is constantly opposed to Fate, and she is just as difficult to understand, although where he is implacable — she is capricious. Since everyone believes in her, she does not need to be worshipped, and would regard such a thing as taking her for granted. Her favour instantly disappears if she believes someone is relying on her, or calls her by name (she is, of course, Lady Luck). The only temple ever built in her honor, by some members of the Guild of Gamblers, was struck down by a series of unfortunate events.

When playing games with mortals, The Lady never sacrifices a pawn, and doesn't play to win, but rather plays not to lose. Rincewind, who refuses to believe his continued survival against the odds is anything other than coincidence, is one of her favorites.

The Lady appears in The Colour of Magic, Interesting Times and The Last Hero.

Lamentatio

The Goddess of Interminable Opera. She is one of the many gods and godesses recognised in the Temple of Small Gods. Mentioned in Discworld Noir.

Libertina

The Goddess of the Sea, Apple Pie, Certain Types of Ice Cream and Short Lengths of String. Her name and appearance suggest the Statue of Liberty. She appears in The Last Hero and she may or may not be the same person as the Sea Queen, who appears in Small Gods.

Moon Goddess

This Druidic Goddess fancies drinking mead from a silver bowl in the company of young virgins, among other things. The Druids of Skund Forest celebrate the Rebirth of the Moon (a ceremony dating back thousands of years) by sacrificing a young virgin to the Moon Goddess. The virgin, dressed in a ceremonial white robe and golden torc, is lead by a precession of trumpets and percussion instruments to a large and flat stone altar, situated in the centre of a circle of standing stones. Where she is summarily sacrificed, using a knife. Mentioned in The Light Fantastic.

Neoldian

The Blacksmith of the Gods. He forged the Golden Falchion and engraved it with the words "For the Strongest – Lagunculae Leydianae Non Accedunt" (Batteries Not Included). He also repaired Leonard of Quirm's 'Kite', allowing it to voyage safely to the Moon. He is mentioned in Discworld Noir and appears in The Last Hero.

Nesh

The Djelibeybian Goddess of the Sun and blower of the spinning blue soap bubble which is the sky. The secret rituals of the Smoking Mirror hold that the sun was in fact merely a round hole in the soap bubble which opened into the fiery real world beyond, and that the stars were the holes that the rain came through. Mentioned in Pyramids.

Nuggan

Nuggan is the locally worshipped monotheistic and omnipotent God of Borogravia, but elsewhere he is known as the God of Paperclips, Correct Things in the Right Place in Small Desk Stationary Sets, and Unnecessary Paperwork. He usually sports a fussy little moustache.

His holy writ is the only known Living Testament, into which more material is, if not magically, then religiously added on a regular basis. All believers regularly add pages to the clip-binder Appendices, which then eventually fill with more commandments, usually Abominations unto Nuggan. By the time of Monstrous Regiment, his commandments were becoming rather nonsensical — among his ever-growing list of Abominations were cats, the colour blue, Dwarfs, oysters, mushrooms, chocolate, garlic, babies, cheese, the smell of beets, and ears. He is also very opposed to the clacks system, as it intereferes with the prayers of the faithful.

His existence is the basis for Monstrous Regiment and he appears in The Last Hero. He is now thought to be either insane or dead.

Offler

Offler is a crocodile god originating from Klatch and is worshipped in most hot lands with great rivers, and even other parts of the Discworld where the people have never even seen any crocodiles. Offler speaks with a lisp because of his crocodile mouth which is not ideal for human language.

His followers are called Offlians, and the first month of the Agricultural year, Offle, is also named after him.

The traditional sacrifice to Offler when praying is composed mainly of sausages, which are fried, allowing the "true sausagidity" to ascend to Offler by means of smell, while the clergy eat the "earthly shell" of the sausages.

Om

Om is an omnipotent, omnipresent god in the country of Omnia. His temple resides in Kom, presumably the capital, and his followers are known as Omnians.

Unlike the major discworld gods, who exist as a pantheon, Om is a monotheistic deity whose followers insist that he is the one and only true God. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Omnians also insist that the world is round.

Omnianism used to be an intolerant religion, not because Om was an intolerant god, but because he was largely an indifferent one. After spending some time trapped in the shape of a tortoise his perspective was changed, and he allowed Brutha to turn Omnianism into one of the Discworld's more tolerant religions, although they still insist Om is the only real god (Although there is some conflict here – in the book Jingo, Constable "Washpot" Visit notes that "There's a god on every side." This may be a comment on every country's belief that God is on their side, but it's fairly wordly and therefore uncharacteristic comment for Washpot.) Visit's full name is 'Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets'; many modern Omnians are given similar names, such as 'Smite-The-Unbeliever-With-Cunning-Arguments'. This in contrast to older Omnians, who were given bloodier names.

The Omnian Quisition (consisting of the Inquisition and the Exquisition) uses the Torquus Simiae Maleficarum (The Monkey Wrench of Witches) to identify witches. The Book of Om says that witches shall not be allowed to live, although this may be a typo since it also says that they may be caught in traps of treacle. This has led some to believe the word may in fact be cockroaches.

Omnianism is Pratchett's parody of the less admirable aspects of Christianity: In earlier times, the Inquisition, and latterly intrusive doorstep evangelism.

Orm

The Great God of the Strict Authorized Ormits. He can usually be found residing in one of the Nether Hells. As of the Year of the Cobra there are only two known worshippers left; a boy (Arthur Loudorum) and his mother. It is said that, as a punishement, Orm comes in the night, winds out your entrails on a stick and sucks out your eyeballs. Mentioned in Pyramids.

Patina

The Ephebian Goddess of Wisdom, a portmanteau of Pallas and Athena. She is shown holding a penguin (this is due to an incompetent sculptor getting a statue wrong), a parody of Athena's owl. She is mentioned in Small Gods, appears in The Last Hero and is the sister of Astoria.

Petulia

The Ephebian Goddess of "negotiable affection", worshipped by ladies of the night. Mentioned in Small Gods.

P'tang P'tang

The god of a small primitive island tribe with only 51 worshippers. P'tang P'tang looks like a newt and isn't that smart. Appears in Small Gods.

Quezovercoatl

While being basically a demon of relatively low rank, Quezovercoatl (also known as The Feathered Boa), was the god of Human Sacrifices in the Tezuman Empire's state religion. He appears in Eric and is described as half-man, half-chicken, half-jaguar, half-serpent, half-scorpion and half-mad (a total of three homicidal maniacs). Because his physical form was some six inches tall in real life, he had relied on appearing in visions to guide his followers. Conversion was probably sped by the bloodthirsty nature of his religion and the fact that the Tezumen were at the time worshipping a stick. Eventually he was forced into appearing physically by Astfgl, whereupon he was trampled by The Luggage. After some time spent worshipping the Luggage, to no avail, the Tezumen finally killed off their priests and settled for atheism. His name is a relatively obvious reference to the Aztec god Quezalcoatl.

Reg

The God of Club Musicians. Mentioned in Soul Music.

Seven-Handed Sek

Possibly a parody of Set. There is a charity school run by the Spiteful Sisters of Seven Handed Sek in Ankh-Morpork.

Skelde

In the depth of Skund Forest he is referred to as the Spirit of the Smoke. Local tribesmen believe you must first see Skelde before you can become a Sorceror. Mentioned in The Light Fantastic.

Sweevo

The God of Cut Timber who prohibited the practice of panupanitoplasty among his followers, even though in actuality very few of his followers knew what panupanitoplasty was. A minor deity mentioned in several novels, including The Last Hero.

Topaxi

A spirit known to the shamans of Skund Forest as Topaxci; the God of the Red Mushroom. Elsewhere he is known as Topaxi; the God of Certain Mushrooms, Great Ideas that you Forgot to Write Down and Will Never Remember Again, and of People who Tell Other People that 'Dog' is 'God' Spelt Backwards and Think that this is in Some Way Revelatory.

He is mentioned in The Light Fantastic and appears in The Last Hero.

Ukli

The God of a Howondalandish tribe which wiped out the nearby N'tuitif tribe at his signal (an unusually large flare from the Moon). Shortly after, this tribe was also wiped out by another tribe who worshipped the goddess Glipzo. Mentioned in The Last Hero.

Umcherrel

In the depth of Skund Forest he is referred to as the Soul of the Forest. Local tribesmen believe you must first see Umcherrel before you can become a Spirit Master. Mentioned in The Light Fantastic.

Ur-Gilash

Main competitor of the god Om thousands of years ago. Now completely forgotten, except by Om. Now a Small God, which is the fate of all gods who lose all believers. Om may have encountered him when crossing the desert with Brutha--that is, Om encountered a small god who knew genuine god-speech, and this is such a rarity that,given the location, it probably once was a being called Ur-Gilash. Mentioned in Small Gods.

Urika

The Goddess of Snow, Saunas and Theatrical Performances for Fewer than 120 People. Her name is probably a parody of the word Eureka, and the Swedish celebrity Ulrika Jonsson. She appears in The Last Hero.

Vometia

The ancient Ankh-Morporkian goddess of being sick. "To make an offering to Vometia..." means exactly what you think it does. Mentioned in The Last Hero.

What

This Djelibeybian Sky Goddess was believed to eat the sun every evening, but save and plant one pip in time to grow a fresh sun for the next day. Mentioned in Pyramids.

Wilf

Featured in The Discworld Almanack, Wilf is the god of astrology. Few people believe in him or worship him any more, so, in an attempt to keep belief in astrology going, he personally writes the horoscopes for the Almanack every year.

Zephyrus

The God of Slight Breezes. Mentioned in The Colour of Magic and Discworld Noir.
