Hestia could be updated with Pele, goddess of volcanoes. There's even an Aztec goddess of fire and volcanoes. Make her CN

Goddess of Fire and Volcanoes
Domains: Fire, Earth, Chaos, Community? or Destruction?
Favored Weapon: Greataxe

I think we could make her N and combine her with the Phoenix-like deity mentioned by Cobalt:

Hestele (Hess-tell-ay), the Phoenix - N
Goddess of Volcanoes and the Cycle of Life
Domains: Fire, Earth, Destruction, Creation
Weapon: Scimitar (more circular weapon, and so Druids can feel included )

Here's an interesting combo of Hephestus and Demeter:

Dephestus (Day - fest - us): LN
God of the Forge and Field, Patron of Dwarves
Domains: Artifice, Creation, Plant, and Rune
Weapon: Warhammer

Benevolent God of Death

I've updated the list with dieties. Please let me know if I missed anything (still reviewing Hestele and Dephestus).

I like them.
Can we add Liberation to Roseide's domains? I think it would fit. Can we clarify Zept's weapon to shortspear?
I think we need more evil gods, at least 4, if not 5 or 6. I found a Celtic god, Bres. He is basically the god of demons. Maybe combine him with Morrigan and/or Echidna.
NE
God of Demons and Aberrations
Domains: Creation, Evil, Darkness, Fire
Favored Weapon: Falchion

There's also some Aztec god with priests who sacrifice humans and babies to make it rain. He's a fertility god, Tlaloc. My brain may be a little fried so I can't think of anyone to combine him with.

Updated.

I like the deity, but we've already got a NE deity with Evil, Darkness and Fire.

How about we make him a LE deity with Evil, War, Strength, and Desctruction?

I'm thinking Anubis should be LE or NE, with Knowledge, Law, Rune, and Death as domains.

I like it. Sounds good, but substitute Destruction for something else.
Let's make Anubis LE
God of Slavery and Tyranny
Favored Weapon: Dagger

Thonu - LE
God of Slavery and Tyranny
Domains: Death, Knowledge, Law, Rune
Weapon: Dagger

(I combined him with Thoth, to make a kind of "know everything for your own power" diety)

Abres - NE
God of Demons and Aberrations
Domains: Animal (representing the "evil" side of nature), Evil, Strength, War
Weapon: Falchion
Benevolent God of Death
"No one told you when to run."

They sound good, except can we rename Abres to Bresan? We already have 2 A names and I want to make sure people won't start mixing them up.
