Now that Gorum is dead, it remains to be seen what god or beliefs Amiri will follow. I think he will continue a totem-like, tribal life. Or try to find a new god of war or strength
Not sure why you dropped this in the 1st edition general discussion since this happened within the timeline of 2nd edition, not that it really matters.
In the depictions of Amiri that I have seen, I don't think her faith in Gorum was particularly central to her character.
Which is to say she might not bother investing in new deity because it probably won't matter that much to her.

Amiri has no abilities that require choosing a patron god, so she loses nothing mechanically by continuing to worship Gorum just the same as she always has--mostly by reveling in battle.

Aroden worship decreased after his death, but never went away entirely.

Doing some research, it seems like there is a short story (called Returning Home) and in that story at the end of it, it includes Amiri being touched by Gorum's blood at his death, granting her mythic power.
Additional research I did also covers the Godsrain novel, which seems to indicate that Amiri reaches a point where she no longer worships any god and relies instead on the power inside herself (from Gorum's death).
I'm not sure if this is accurate information, because it's just done with Google and and the AI summaries it generates.
I imagine if you want to know for sure, you should read the Godsrain novel, but it seems like what actually happens may already be covered.
In any event, it seems very plausible and likely that Amiri wouldn't start venerating another deity.

I check and is probably right what you said, is possible that she will become the next god of war, the reason I said this is because is like iomedae history, she was a paladin of aroden, aroden ask her to do the starstone test and she came out as a mythic creature and taking divine source ( like arazni case) and become a deity after aroden death
I doubt Paizo will officially turn her into a deity, but they did kill of Gorum for meta reasons as I recall (though I forget exactly what those meta reasons were at this point).
But part of why Gorum was chosen to die was because his role of "god of war for war's sake" just wasn't very compelling narratively.
So IF Amiri were to become a deity, I doubt she'd become a god of war like Gorum was, but she might be a god that overlaps with the areas of interest related to war/combat.
Given who Amiri is, she might be a goddess of those who were forced from their tribes because they didn't fit. Outcasts. Things like that, since that is her story. And those who are self reliant and fight to survive. Something along those lines.
Becoming a Gorum stand in would be awful in my opinion.

Amiri in a pantheon with Nocticula and Arazni as a 'God Help the Outcasts' group would be so fun. Those two would have no idea what to do with her. I love it.

Feels like the dark reflection of the Radiant Prism.
