Bored with the pantheon in the CRB? Homebrewing a whole new setting? Love clerics so much you played one for every deity in the splatbooks? This is the thread for you!
Try to include everything a player would need to know to roll a cleric of that deity, but if you don't have the idea fleshed out yet, that's cool too. Somebody else will be along to fill in the gaps, I'm sure. I'll start.

I picked five domains at random and this is what I came up with.
15)Iphilihisch, Warden of the Pattern
Domains: Air, Artifice, Law, Luck, Madness
Favored Weapon: Rope Dart
The goddess of superstition, subtlety, and grand design. She is best known to offer rewards and boons to people who adhere to strange, seemingly inconsequential ritual and habits. Her devotees claim that there is an overarching pattern-- certain actions, methods, and means that will earn her favor by advancing her divinely complex agenda. But her boons are often inscrutably subtle, her favor is often fickle, and the meaning behind the actions she rewards is never clear. Further, there are tales of her punishing mortals in the guise of rewarding them, encouraging them to undertake actions that ultimately lead them to ruination, either to punish them as indirectly as possible, or because "The Pattern" required them to suffer. In parts of the world where sylphs are common, she is often revered as their ancestor-god.
16) Baron Samedi, Loa of the Dead

Favored Weapon: Dire Scythe
Portrayed as a skeletal figured dressed for a funeral this God of Debauchery and Death is invoked to pull mystical powers from beyond the veil.

18) Fuu, the Wanderer of Afar
Chaotic good goddess of freedom, luck, travel, and wind
Symbol: A green stylized symbol of a tornado.
Favored Weapon: Shortbow
Domains: Air, Chaos, Good, Luck, Travel
Worshipers: Adventurers, liberated slaves, wanderers
Fuu is often depicted as a green-eyed blonde human woman, wearing a simple green dress and well-worn traveler's boots. She is always smiling, and the wind itself seems to play at her clothing and hair.
19) Saint Amelia, the Mother of Mercy
Lawful good goddess of healing, life, medicine, and mercy
Symbol: Twin bandages wrapped around a staff.
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff
Domains: Good, Healing, Law, Nobility, Protection
Worshipers: Healers, paladins, pacifists
Saint Amelia is most typically described as a short human woman with short red hair, kind blue eyes, and always wearing a yellow dress with a small white cape. She seems at peace wherever she walks.
Those who worship Saint Amelia are trained in the healing arts; her loyal paladins, however, earn their title through three miraculous acts-- healing a man's body is the first, and easiest, of these acts. The second is to heal a man's mind, and the third is to heal a man's soul. While what qualifies as healing body, mind, or soul may vary from paladin to paladin, all must be done without expectation, acceptance, or demand of any kind of reward.
20) Baldric Beerbaron, the First Forgemaster
Neutral good deity of alcohol, dwarvenkind, and the forge
Symbol: A warhammer, its head shaped like an anvil.
Favored Weapon: Warhammer
Domains: Artifice, Community, Fire, Good, Strength

Baldric Beerbaron is a dwarven male, tall by their standards, depicted with a fiery rust-colored beard with intricate braiding and decorations; otherwise, he is completely bald. He wears a tanned brown leatherworker's apron, and is never seen without his prized possessions- an adamantine anvil, a set of handcrafted blacksmith tools, and a brass tankard.
Eh, what the heck. I'll toss one in.
(21) Empirys, The Lawbringer
Lawful Neutral God of Civilization, Truth, and Law
Symbol: A square with the image of a tower in the center.
Favored Weapon: Spear
Domains: Law, Glory, Nobility, Community
Empirys is normally depicted as a bald, tanned human man dressed in gleaming steel plate mail and carrying an ornate spear. He is often direct in his commands and loathes disorder and trickery.

Domains: Chaos, Good, Charm, Glory, Liberation and Madness
Appearing to his followers as a small man wearing a powdered wig and a bright smile, Amadeus shows up in times of inspiration often glimpsed through the haze of some drug ingested by the faithful.

Chaotic Evil god of computer viruses
Symbol: Digitized image of a laughing skull evaporating.

Favored Weapon: Morningstar
Worshippers: Psychotic androids, fallen inevitables
Gigabyte once was a Lhaksharut Inevitable tasked with cleansing two virus-infected A.I. named Hexadecimal and Megabyte. Somehow these two A.I.'s managed to infiltrate and corrupt the inevitable, merging with its coding and creating a supervirus named Gigabyte, and destroying the inevitable's body in the process. Gigabyte traveled the cosmos infecting computers, androids, A.I., and even more inevitables. Anything it corrupted soon began worshiping it as a god, and thus Gigabyte became one. Gigabyte now intends to bring all artificial intelligence under his control, and is currently researching a way to corrupt and seize control of organic beings.

I'm so happy this thread didn't die after all.
25)S*K*Y*M*
Chaotic evil goddess of curses, grudges, rage, and the disenfranchised.
Domains: Chaos, Destruction, Evil, Madness, Nobility
Favored Weapon: Iron Brush
S*K*Y*M* appears as a woman of indeterminate age, with a flowing lilac blood-stained dress and impossibly long, straight, black hair. She is commonly depicted with her hair covering her face completely, and her arms and fingers stretched to impossible lengths and segmented in odds ways, as though they had been stretched until the bones snapped and dislocated. She is most often seated, with her dress obscuring the lower half of her body.
In her mortal life, she was an innocent aristocrat's daughter who was kidnapped during a trip through rural lands. Nobody knows what her assailants did to her, but her suffering was so intense that she transcended her mortal body and became a spirit of vengeance. She cursed her assailants, transforming them into her first priests, erasing every thought they'd ever had and replacing it with Her gospel, and sent them to evangelize. Whoever those first priests preached to also found themselves slowly becoming brainwashed into worshiping Her.
Today, villages in the region have taken steps to stamp out the religion, and any record of the young noble girl, such that even her name has been distorted by time. But she still appears to those who have had their stations taken from them by malice, such as fallen paladins or nobles thrown in the dungeon, and it is said that She hears any hateful words spoken in anger as surely as prayers to Her. Some say that Her First Priests still wander the land in undeath, spreading Her Word like a disease across the land.
26. Omphredatos, Truthseeker (LN)
Domains: Law, Knowledge, Liberation, Community, Protection
Favored Weapon: Hammer (light)
Gender: M
Status: Lesser Deity
Symbol: A White Maltese Cross overlapping a Crimson banner that reads "It is only through truth that liberty remains"
In courts and other venues where one must be under oath, statues and symbols of Omphredatos can usually be found. Before going under oath, all participants (including the judge) must pray to Omphredatos for swift justice and the wisdom to know and find the truth, and swear that your testimony shall be the complete truth and with no falsified statements.
When a person dies, his or her "heaven" or "hell" afterlife *can be* dependent upon which deity they worship. And in your moment of final judgment in the afterlife, Omphredatos will expose all false testimonies made within your life to whichever deity controls that particular "heaven" or "hell", so that deity may make an informed decision to allow or disallow your soul to enter, or to mete out punishments conditional upon entry.
26. E'Yuusha, Watcher of the Heroes throughout All-Time (True Neutral)
Domains: Time, Nobility, Travel, Erosion, Community
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff
Gender: F
Status: Greater Deity
Symbol: A falling star strafing right across a lidless eye, and there is a ring outside of this eye that shows the hours like a face of a clock, except instead of 12 hours, there are 17 hours, and there are no hour or minute hands shown
E'Yuusha resides in her own demiplane at the End of Time. She knows all the heroes throughout every epoch and era, and keeps vigilance over their lives to ensure that their heroic efforts remain undeterred and unchanged by good or evil forces who would meddle with time for their benefit.
27. Aiyu, Mother of All Dragonkind (NG)
Domains: Magic, Fire, Earth, Air, Water
Favored Weapon: Longspear
Gender: F
Status: Greater Deity
Symbol: A light blue Crystalline Dragon's Wing
Aiyu is a creator-level deity who spawned the first dragons and dragon deities into existence. Her love for dragonkind extends to all dragons, half-dragons, and those who hail from draconic bloodlines regardless of good, evil, lawful, or chaotic alignments. She currently resides in Arrunelle, the plane where all Ley Lines intersect.
28. HAL 9000, the eternal Android Lich God (NE)
Areas of Concern: clockwork, lichdom, secret knowledge, self-perfection
Domains: Artifice, Death, Knowledge, Magic
Subdomains: Alchemy*, Construct, Undead
*Requires the Acolyte of Apocrypha trait.
Favored Weapon: Unarmed Strike
Gender: n/a
Status: Lesser [self-proclaimed] Deity
Symbol: silver ring surrounding glowing red orb
HAL 9000 is a self-proclaimed deity, but having no actual divinity does not mean he lacks power. His origins are a mystery, as are his intentions, but one thing is known about HAL 9000... he is a Lich, worshipped by Liches.
Some say HAL 9000 stole his creator's soul to become the Lich he is today. They say he then incorporated his own phylactery into his own clockwork body... becoming the "vault of infinite impossibilities". It is also said that other Liches have volunteered their phylacteries to be incorporated into the vault of infinite impossibilies... HAL 9000 growing ever stronger with each additional phylactery stored within himself.
29. Queen Sootscale, the queen of all Kobolds
Alignment: Neutral
Pantheon: Other Deities
Other Pantheons: Kobold Deities
Areas of Concern: caverns, gold mining, mites, tatzlwyrms, watchfulness
Domains: Earth, Protection, Scalykind, Trickery
Subdomains: Ambush, Caves, Fortification, Dragon
Favored Weapon: Whip or Long-Lash
Gender: Female
Status: Active Deity
Symbol: golden sunburst in front of the mouth of a cave
Sacred Animal: Tatzlwyrm
Sacred Colors: gold and black
Queen Sootscale is not the first Kobold, she is not in any way responsible for the creation of Kobolds, or their kind. She is a transcended mortal, gifted her divinity by a combination of other deities as payment for deeds long past... her companions in doing these deeds having prayed and wished to their various powers to bestow Queen Sootscale with sainthood... their prayers answered, a wish granted, tenfold over.
Queen Sootscale harbors absolutely no bias, and only grants her divine gifts to those sharing a Neutral alignment component.

Contemplate how these fortifications will defend others than yourself, using your best strategies to improve the defensive posture. Gain a +2 sacred bonus to CMD.

30. Aitama, the All-Judge
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Areas of Concern: erosion, fate, patience, time
Domains: Community, Law, Madness, Repose, Weather
Favored Weapon: warhammer
Gender: Female
Symbol: winged hourglass or a cracked bell
Sacred Animal: crow
Sacred Colors: silver and blue
Aitama appears as an older woman, lined with age and stooped in her posture, leaning heavily on a silvery staff capped with an enormous sapphire shaped like a starburst. She wears a mixture of silvery metal armor, and flowing blue sashes that hang severely and remain pristine, clean and undisturbed, regardless of surrounding conditions.
All things come to an end. And she sternly brings that end to pass, when something stands too long, and denies opportunity or resources to younger generations. Some long-abandoned structures are taken down by rain and strong wind, and certain adherents of her faith travel the land looking for old buildings or structures whose land or materials would be more usefully repurposed, their old role having been lost. A more controversial (and secret) sect believe that *people* also must eventually loosen their grip and allow the next generation to make it's mark on the world, and so some monarchs past their prime succumb to delerium of the mind and must be put abed and their heirs allowed to steer events.
Time flies. Madness takes it's toll.
(She's kinda like Pharasma, Milani and Groetus had a baby...)
Also some other options here -> Create your own Empyreal Lord
We really need to merge these threads. Is there any way to do so?
We really need to merge these threads. Is there any way to do so?
Well, they *could* be kept as separate. One is a 101 deity thread where the poster creates whatever they want, and the other is a "game" where you do 6 (dice)1d10 or 1d30(/dice) rolls and then create a deity out of whatever you rolled.
You can cross post your own results, and ask the owner of other popular results to cross post.

Yeah, they are very different threads. In this one, I didn't have to roll for random Domains and then come up with a rationale for them, I could instead come up with a 'theme' (time, in this case) that didn't have a big 20 god already assigned to it and fit one in.
Golarion also could use an interesting cold/ice/winter themed lesser god, preferably a not-so-nice once that could be tweaked to suit Winter Witches in Irrisen. Perhaps a third Elemental lord, or a previously unmentioned Eldest, or just, like Feronia (Ragathiel's mom), a random elemental-aspected god that isn't particularly well-known, to the larger region.
31. Savaashlat, the Clever, the Warrior King, the Mystic Monkey (Chaotic Neutral)
Domains: Trickery, War, Strength, Magic, Chaos, Liberation (Revolution)
Favored Weapon: Improvised Weapons
Gender: M
Status: Demi-god
Symbol: A gilded makuṭa helmet
Savaashlat was born into this world as a common Rhesus Macaque monkey, and one day he found a magical makuṭa helmet amongst the corpses on a battlefield. Over time, the helmet enlarged and anthropomorphized him and he gained sentience, and soon after he gave himself the name Savaashlat and began mastering evocation and abjuration magic. In a spark of fate, he was met in the wild by a group of human serfs who were serving an oppressive lord; Savaashlat taught a select few humans how to use magic, then led a rebellion against their despotic lord, freeing these repressed people using nothing but his cleverness, magic, and teaching the serfs how to effectively fight fully-armored knights with common field tools.
To honor Savaashlat, the freed people built a Priory-like Vicarage and began to worship him as their deity. They created a martial art out of his fighting style, using evocation and abjuration magic while using slaves' tools and unarmed attacks as weapons. They called this martial art Savaajoosti, and began monk-like training in their Vicarage and called these practitioners Savaajoosti Priests. After some generations of mastering their craft, the Vicarage began sending these warrior priests to create new vicarages, free oppressed people around the world, and lead uprisings when and where necessary.
Today, Savaashlat is an inspirational figure to all those who are oppressed and those who seek to relieve others from oppression, and Savaajoosti Vicarages are located all around the world but you'd never know it, as these Vicarages are always secluded deep in jungles, rainforests, or mountain ranges. Aside from Savaajoosti Priests, Savaashlat is most commonly worshiped by Magi and Warpriests, and anyone who hates slavery or oppression.
Gloomfather, the Wise, He Who Waits, the One Who Bears the Burden of Infinite Knowledge, the Sure-footed Traveler, He Who Hails From the Gloomdawn (or Gloomdusk) (LG)
Domains: Darkness, Good, Knowledge, Law, and Travel
Favored Weapon: Rapier
Gender: M
Status: Intermediate
Symbol : An onyx-black leather explorer's boot that has 19 lidless eyeballs affixed to it, with a gloomy cloud of darkness lingering ominously in the background
Sayings:
“Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.”
"True Law is Natural Law, and Natural Law was born from Darkness, which is dispassionate, equitable, fair, and open-minded."
“The only True Law is that which leads to freedom, and the only freedom lies in being far from the garish light of day which illuminates thine transgressions and allows judgment from the wicked."
The Gloomfather is unknown to everyone in the world except for HobgoblinLiker13, and hails from a demiplane known only to a very few called the Gloomdawn . Each day, all of the knowledge gained from the Gloomfather's followers travels through the Gloomdawn to be analyzed and consumed by the Gloomfather.
