That's cute. They make some nice petty gods.
I went a bit more back to basics at one point and created this pantheon years ago, all based on appellations of the Greek/Roman/other gods, with some Discworld and further fantasy influences.
It's mostly supposed to be a generic pantheon, but I tried to make the names as obscure as possible. Except Tyche. Because you aren't supposed to talk about her.
