A new Ardenest campaign under a new system demands more work on the gods of Ardenest. And Pathfinder 2 is pretty involved. Adapting them for 5e, I only had to pick domains. But for Pathfinder 2, there are a lot of additional things to think about; most prominently, anathemas and cleric spells. It's good, though, it gives me some room to think about my gods, and flesh them out a bit more. I think it's been helpful! So below, nine gods for my future Pathfinder 2 campaigns.
