Hey all,
I've always had this idea in my head in which a large population of ratfolk live in a tunnel system between the surface and the under dark. And I mean BIG; like small cities and towns inside of massive caverns, connected by tunnels nearly a kilometer wide. Thus, when a player of mine said he wanted to play a solo campaign as a ratfolk character, I was ridiculously excited.
Anyways, I am working now on the deities that will be present in the campaign. Creating deities for elves, humans, dwarves, and the like is a simple enough thing for me to do, however I would like to incorporate a small pantheon of gods for the ratfolk specifically. One part of the rat folk history concerns a cult who worships a god of pestilence, but they were "wiped out" a century before the campaign. I am having trouble deciding alignment and a set of domains for this god, and for the other deities the rat folk worship.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome!

A ratgoddess of bountiful offspring may pose as much if not more of a threat than the ratgod of pestilence. Its all down to perspective. If pestilence kills the rat population then it is opposed to the threat of bountiful population growth.
Pestilence is neutral, so anything fighting the centre is not. The ratgoddess of bountiful offspring may represent all the other alignments.
