I'm pretty sure (as far as core rules go) that each deity is supposed to have 5 domains. Also, races no longer have a favored class, your character chooses 1 upon creation. Looking at some I'd add Water to Father Snow, maybe Death to the hidden night or Guðcræft, other than that I can't really tell what the others would use based on the bare bones of the world.
Some tips for creating a own world:
Start at the small scale and add as your game goes on.
There are a great article on the old D&D (3.5.) side about world design (from one of the world designer from DnD)
I started my own world a few years ago, we started with a small town named Tristam (yeha Diablo ftw) and the surrounding lands (aprox. 3 by 3 days by horse) meanwhile this world spread to ~ 2000 x 2000 miles, with multiple nations etc.
This method allows you to add a new country/kingdom if you need it or if your characters came with an amazing backgroundstory but need a desert for it.. simply add it.
Another one is, scribe down everything, every tavern name, every knight name etc. Nothing is frustrating then if the player enter a town a second time and their favored tavern now has a different name or the king is an elf now.
And last but not least:
No world is created in one day (not even seven^^), so take your time and ask for help. Maybe one of your player knows the maya culture very well, ask him to create a hidden jungle kingdom...
P.S.: Don't be to proud to steal, if something sounds cool o fits to your world. Most of the most favored worlds have stolen elements (the Mulhorand of FR or Golarion [stated at the backcover "Best of all worlds"]
Lol, ya exactly what Tryn said. I've been making a world for over 2 years now for a campaign (well I'm also working on a book based on the world but ya). I have about 5 notebooks full of every possible detail I need to know as well as a website for my characters to find things and for me to reference when I need it. It looks like you've got off to a pretty good start though.

Thanks for the advice. Now a little blurb about each god.
Father Snow- a Santa clause expy.
Mother- The world it self.
She who brings joy (Lanna’Nuynudrim)- the daughter of the lord of flesh and god of bards & elf's.
The just light- primal light & rulers.
The hidden night- primal night & rogues.
The lord of flesh- The overgod and creator of the currant universe.
The warden- the ferry man of the dead & son of the lord of flesh.
Guðcræft- war it self
