Log Horizon - Deities

NOTE: This information is from Mamare's official googledocs. The majority is either not canon at the moment, or side story material.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yulara (Japan): Goddess of Healing. She has a large following on the Japanese server, greater than the North American server's version, probably helped by the fact that she was designed by fans. So far, she is the only one that has been mentioned in the light novels (in volume 1, by Maryelle).

Wenia (North America): Goddess of Healing. Descriptions of her appearance vary, but she is definitely an earth deity.

Vels Serpiyel (North America): The guardian deity of all bards in the Land of Wen. Vels Serpiyel’s name is an anagram of Elvis Presley.

Santa Claus: Although he technically isn't a god, he can't be defined as anything else. Needless to say, he is an old man dressed in red clothing whose existence remains unknown to many of the Adventurers in Elder Tales. The majority of them still receive presents, but where the gifts come from isn’t much of a concern to the Adventurers. It is incredibly likely that a being similar to the one in the original Elder Tales MMO exists in the new world.

Jaja Darga: God of Corruption and Decay. A false pagan god worshiped by the demi-humans and the cult of the false god in Elder Tales’ early raid content. Unlike others Jaja Darga was a god of evil from the very beginning. Jaja Darga appears vaguely humanoid with large eyes that make it difficult to support the weight of its own head, eight strangely shaped arms, and a leech-like lower body that lets it crawl around.

The Sword Prince (Scandinavia): God of Swords and Magic. Known worldwide as the originator of the “Fairy Arts” and for being the guardian deity of the famous hero Elias Hackblade. The Sword Prince does his best to pull the strings of the young hero, embracing the impression that he is a bossy god by asking players, “Adventurers, save Elias with your strength!” The prince will occasionally request various items from adventurers as well.
--The Sword Prince is a pure-blooded Alv or an elf who is said to have silvery hair and whose gaze contains all the colors of a rainbow. However, there is a possibility that this is not the Sword Prince’s true form since the god only appears when he can be silhouetted in the dim light. The only thing people are completely certain of is that the prince wields a two-handed great sword.

Zen & Aku (Western Europe): A god whose dual personalities represent both Light and Darkness. Governs both good and evil, light and darkness. Little is known about this god outside of item descriptions and a feature length quest in the Western European server.

Baloo: God of Craftsmen and Art. Worshipers pay tribute to their patron god by using the techniques that have been passed down alongside his teachings to further their own crafts.

Laval: God of Competition and Rivalries. Though only a part of a Knight’s faith because he is a god, they were pulled along by Laval’s influence with envy and competition causing belief in the nemesis god to become forbidden in many regions. In ancient times faith in Laval was thriving, and many “statues of Laval” have been discovered in old ruins. The statues depict a pair of two warriors, and are used to decorate a room or merely fill out a collection.
