Alara
- Asha and the Asura (
)
- Progenitus (
), the hydra-god, along with the Gargantuans
Amonkhet
In contrast to the often-distant gods of Theros, the gods of Amonkhet take an active hand in the life of their worshippers and are physically present within the city of Naktamun. They oversee various trials that bring chosen warriors closer to the afterlife and prepare their servants for the tasks that will await them. It is recorded in the Accounting of Hours that when the God-Pharaoh returns, the gods will have to prove their worth to him just like the mortals they tested before. Nissa later discovered that the gods were manifestations of the plane's leylines and whatever Bolas had done to the plane had also altered them in such subtle ways that they were oblivious to it. Their presence alone fills mortals with feelings associated with their domain and they can see directly into the heart of any mortal presented before them. Most of the gods died when Bolas returned and ushered in the Hour of Devastation, leaving only Hazoret to guide the survivors of Naktamun. Their legacy lived on, notably with Basri Ket and Oketra.
- Oketra, God of Solidarity (
)
- Kefnet, God of Knowledge (
)
- Bontu, God of Ambition (
)
- Hazoret, God of Zeal (
)
- Rhonas, God of Strength (
)
Three other gods were imprisoned and warped by Bolas to serve his interests during the Hour of Revelation. The original functions and appearances and even the names of these gods have been lost.
- The Locust God (
), who would destroy the Hekma.
- The Scarab God (
), who would lead the Eternals.
- The Scorpion God (
), who would kill the other gods. Killed during the Hour of Devastation
After the Hour of Devastation, the War of the Spark, and the expulsion of the Phyrexians, two new gods appeared.
Notes
- While not technically a god, Nicol Bolas was worshiped as the God-Pharaoh of Amonkhet and pretended to be the creator of the gods and the plane. Even after his charade was discovered, some kept faith, and the Eternals continue to worship him at the exclusion of the deities they worshipped in life.
- The five mono-color gods of Amonkhet are each the opposite gender of their corresponding mono-color god of Theros.
- The gods of Amonkhet have golden parts on their bodies, inspired by the fact that the ancient Egyptians believed that the flesh of their gods was made of gold.
