Some Gods/Deities in my world
I just wanted to share these to see your opinions on them
Enaerrak, the God of Fear, Death and Alchemy, is unusually beautiful, with dark skin, short, flaming red hair, and eyes the color of fire opals. He is surprisingly short and willowy, and is usually frowning. He usually wears light and airy robes dyed medium green.
He is also associated with storms. He is often worshiped by women. His many followers can be primarily distinguished by their jewelry. There are a large number of offerings to him in meadows. There are many myths involving his unhappy relationship with certain mortals. He is the son of Kretanus. He is known to sometimes hinder peasants who ask for aid.
Kretanus, the Goddess of the Forge, is surprisingly plain, with very pale skin, long, flaming red hair, and eyes the color of red wine. She is medium height and of average build, and generally has a blissful expression. She usually wears stylized armor dyed dark red.
She is also associated with business. She is often worshiped by clerics. Her few followers can be primarily distinguished by the symbols they wear. There are a few statues of her in most villages.

Enaerrak - Why is he associated with storms? Why is he often worshipped by women? Is there a reason his followers are distinguished by their jewellery? Why do people put offerings to him in meadows? What kind of unhappy relationships? In what way do he hinder peasants when they ask for aid?
Kretanus - Why is the deity of forging mostly worshipped by clerics? Why does she have few followers yet several statues in most villages?
2nd- Yes because the jewelry they wear have a ten pointed star (his symbol) carved into them
3rd- Because meadows have alchemical ingredients
4th- Kings annd other such royalty attempting to create new relationships
5th- Usually removes a limb or two 1st- Most clerics forge their own holy symbols and gear
2nd- i believe you read that wrong, it says she has few statues in villages
i hope those answer your questions

As I said, cool ideas, but I'm wondering what the heck grows in your meadows!
I ask a lot, because it's hard to tell anything about the deities you created while being overal unfamiliar with the world you created as well.
2. They are real, they commonly create the races of the world
3. Sometimes
4. No
5. This will answer two questions, they worship them to not suffer any consequences and to recieve rewards, like in Enaerraks case he gives them the power to control someones "lifeforce" (for lack of a better word)
Hope that answers your questions
Um does they live in on the cloud? And wonder who provides their clothings
Good work you got the talent.
By the way do you write?
2. yes i also make games
You say that people worship the gods to avoid consequences and receive power. How has that relationship shaped the culture of your society? What can change the nature of a man? etc etc. If the gods do these horrible things to peasants or give powers over life force in exchange for worship (supplication?) then are the people generally fearful or callous? Do the kings of this world emulate this or do they stand apart from the gods?
2. It has affected it by making most priests highly respected and feared
3. Most priests show off being Callous while others are fearful
4. Kings/mayors usually enact the will of the god/goddess that rules over his town/city/village
Hope that answers your questions!
