How do you create a believable god name?

God names typically reflect their domain. A sea deity uses flowing liquid sounds (L, R, TH), while a war god uses sharp percussive sounds (K, T, G). We draw from Sanskrit, Old Norse, and Ancient Greek phonology.

What divine domains work best?

Classic domains include war, death, nature, knowledge, the sea, light, darkness, love, and time. Mixing unexpected domains (a god of "forgotten memories" or "beautiful decay") creates compelling original deities.
