Under the dominant philosophy of Polyaspectism, all deities are assumed to be equally plausible, so the Gnoman Empire documents and formally recognizes many thousands of deities. Obviously, some gather more recognition and investment than others, however.
Theus
Pueraria's move to enforce Polyaspectism as the official religion of the Gnoman Empire resulted in some complications, as it married an innately chaotic philosophy to an incredibly structured legal system. To deal with the resulting disorder, her son and eventual successor, Pragmus I, established the First Church of Gnoman Polyaspectism, a structured institution tasked with officially managing and overseeing the worship and records of the Empire's gods. Pragmus himself was posthumously deified as Theus, the Gnoman god of organized religion, and eternal head of the church he founded. Due to the bureaucratic nature of Gnoman culture, Theus is also sometimes called upon in otherwise secular matters of legislation and organization, especially when ambiguous grammar may be a source of conflict. Biblical texts of any religion are considered holy to him, and to a lesser extent any formal doctrines, edicts, mission statements, and to do lists can fall under the scope of his influence. Theus is a sworn enemy of any gods devoted to anarchy, atheism, sloppiness, or improvisation. He is considered the divine frenemy of Dubia, the Gnoman's chief goddess of uncertainty. Per drawings from Pragmus's childhood, Gnomans generally depict Theus with two pairs of angelic wings, white armor, and a blazing sword of divine energy.
Dubia
In life, Dubia was Serise, Pueraria's daughter and Pragmus's older sister. As princess, Serise used her freedom and influence to become one of the most feared critics in Gnomania, but never herself showed any aptitude for an art - by her own admission, she could never create something that would satisfy her own standards. This likely contributed to her mother's decision to pass her over as successor to the throne, and resulted in a complex dynamic between herself and her younger brother. Serise had an unerring ability to point out weaknesses and faults in any idea or plan, making her feared by both sides of any debate held before her brother. She was posthumously deified as Dubia, a goddess of critical thought and skepticism, and is often called upon by Gnoman judges, scientists, or anyone else who wishes to see the potential faults in their own plans. Most commonly, she is revered by Gnoman agnostics and even moderate atheists, who believe that Dubia (if she exists) will defend their souls (if they exist) against any divine judgment (if it exists) that may be incurred by their skepticism during life. It is generally taboo to speak her name in restaurants, theaters, or during weddings. Dubia's representation is unknown, as Serise was never satisfied with anything she described as a child. As a result, in Gnoman iconography she is generally represented by an imperfect circle.
The Faceless
Secrecy is extremely important to Gnomans, especially to Left-Hands serving in the Sinister Legions of the Gnoman military. The Gnomans believe that there must be a god of secrets, but also believe that the true identity of the ultimate master of secrecy and concealment must be unknowable. Somewhat confusing outsiders, however, it is inappropriate for the followers of the Faceless to acknowledge this in conversation - as his/her devotees, they are expected to aid him/her in maintaining his/her mystery, by spreading misinformation at every turn. There is an annual Festival of the Faceless, but it is not held on a set date - instead, each year the followers of the Faceless interrupt another deity's festival, declaring for the day that that deity is, in fact, the true identity of the Faceless.
