The ancient Baklunish culture is now lost to time, awash in the sands of the Dry Steppes. However, the Baklunes are a culture steeped in tradition and religion. They feel drawn to re-discover what the Seul took from them in the Invoked Devastation. Many Baklunish scholars dedicate themselves to unearthing this lost birthright. Thus, they have compiled this list of some gods the ancient Baklunish culture apparently revered. Explanations on abbreviations follow, and annotations can be found at the end of the document.

*: Baklunish gods still known to the Flanaess at large (in other words, copyright WotC).
**: Zuoken is an ascended mortal who serves Xan Yae. He is apparently imprisoned somewhere on the Prime Material plane, and his worshippers constantly search to set him free. (Copyright WotC)
***: Janskyd is apparently an ascended mortal, though little is known of him.
+: Al'Akbar is apparently also an ascended mortal, and the newest of the Baklunish gods, dating from after the Invoked Devastation. The Cup and Talisman of Al'Akbar more than symbols of the faith. They are two artifacts that were given to him to help him bring faith back to the Baklunes after the Invoked Devastation. (Copyright WotC)
++: No relation to the Forgotten Realms Shar, who is a goddess of night and evil and has nothing to do with Greyhawk whatsoever.
