Many deities, gods, and other similar supernatural beings exist in the world of Eamon or are known to its inhabitants. This article lists gods, demons, and the like that have been named in Eamon adventures or other materials.
Gods and goddesses
Gods are first mentioned in the Eamon Player's Manual where Donald Brown describes the Power spell as an appeal to the gods to "do something". Adventure authors have identified and described a number of these deities, and two authors, Pat Hurst and Tom Zuchowski, have described entire pantheons of gods and the forces or phenomena they represent.
