Ikbal Lamat is the Perfection Breaker, the lord of astrology and calendars for Chen Durel and sole god of light in their pantheon. He is an exiled star, for he rejected the stagnant "perfection" of the Dragon Emperor of Kralorela in favor of the truth that perfection cannot be achieved, but beauty is found in the imperfect. His cult manipulates society to ensure that social order never grows stagnant, though they remain fully supportive of whoever is in charge of Chen Durel for practical reasons.

Himile is the God of Cold, an ancient and powerful god that many cultures recognize but almost none actively worship...except for the Snow Trolls of the Great Glacier, for whom he is nearly as important as Kyger Litor herself, forming the core of their empire's day to day governance. Himile is a cold and dangerous god, one which seeks to conquer the world, but he also grants his followers the strength to endure one of the most hostile environments in all of Glorantha.

Just, y'know, keep in mind that homebrew quality can vary wildly, and there's a lot of it.

This was fairly frustrating to write, because the canon material on Annilla is barely usable, focusing on how her cult never lets anyone learn anything about them and so not providing any information on them to the reader. I have tried to present something mysterious but usable here, with the default plan of the cult being to become the power behind the throne for any throne they care about; at present, that's the Plateau, the Lunar Empire, and maybe Dagori Inkarth. They are secretive, murderous, and very subtle.

Zorak Zoran is the most powerful war god of the trolls, and even they acknowledge he is the most terrible. But it is better for a terrible monster to be fighting your enemies than to be fighting you, and so Zorak Zoran's cult has never been eradicated. There is always someone in the kingdoms of the Dark who needs extremely violent people to hate and kill.

Before anything else was, there was Darkness. And that Darkness is Subere, that which was before and that which will be after. No light has ever touched her, and when the Sun himself died, his fire could not so much as scratch her surface, and his light could not pass into her. She is an esoteric goddess, beyond many, but worshipped by nobles and leaders among the trolls and Chen Dureli.
