I think that Ancalagon could have death in his portfolio, but maybe not
"the dead." Can we separate the two, or are we then just splitting hairs?

I would prefer to save deception for someone else. Not to belittle
Talon (my favorite member of the Black Legion), but I think deception fits
other characters better.

I agree. I'm so glad Jim didn't go the cliché route and just makes him
the god of fire.

Marcus may be a god with few worshippers, but that you placate to keep
cowardice away. Kind of like Umberlee. I can see his clerics spreading
fear and betraying people. I think this has potential to be interesting.

Ye gods, I've thought about using Prit a few times. I'm not sure if
this character should be immortalized or not. :) I'm a tad concerned about
bringing back the dead, except for Nelik.
