Racial gods for Crawl species (Beogh-like)
There are priests or some sort of acolytes among the dungeons species whose gods are defined as "unknown" in the game help. Only the god Beogh is accessible for the player as an orc but we don't know anything about the other ones.
What I propose is to extend the god Beogh concept to become part of a set of gods (racial gods) from which only one of them can appear in the game to be worship as a function of the species you are playing. The code for the god Beogh would have to be extended to other species with another name and some similar piety mechanisms. Granted powers can be discussed here.
As far as I know we have:
orc priests of Beogh, and
deep elves priests
draconian zealots
spriggan druids (one killed me once)
Someone else I am missing?
As for monsters in the dungeon would be interesting to have some merfolk priest of some deep water god (suggestion: a white m) and more presence of deep dwarves with some priest class included.
In summary, the set of racial gods I can define by now are for elves, draconians, spriggans, dwarves and merfolk. Some races like centaurs, kobolds or minotaurs also can have a proper one.
Other races like undead shouldn't have a particular one or as an alternative, to become servant of a fiend.
