Guys? Do the elves and dark elves actually admit that there are other deities that really reply to their followers?
You know like fundamentalists?

Yes. It's a fantasy world.

I'm not sure of the question.

The Elves worship a good number of gods. 2 distinct types.

The Cadai rule the Heavens. They are openly worshipped and revered by the High Elves and by the Wood Elves. The High Elves seem to revere mainly Asuryan while the Wood Elves strongly worship Kurnous and Isha. The Dark Elves seem to all but ignore them.

Asuryan, the Emperor of Heavens
Isha, the Mother, wife of Kurnous
Kurnous, the Hunter, husband of Isha
Hoeth, god of Wisdom
Vaul, the Maker
Loec, the Shadow Dancer
Lileath, the Maiden, daughter of Isha
Ladrielle


The Cytharai rule the Mirai, the Underworld. Rather than to worship them the High Elves largely shun them and pay homage, trying to appease them. While small shrines exist in Ulthuan no priesthoods exist to serve them. The Dark Elves worship them openly and the cult of Khaine is by far the most prominent and powerful religion in Naggaroth.

Ereth Khial, supreme goddess of the Underworld
Khaine, god of murder, war, hatred, and destruction
Moraig-Heg, the Crone is a goddess of the Underworld, but seems to be highly regarded by High Elves.
Atharti, goddess of pleasure and indulgence
Ellinill, the many-faced god of destruction. He has more than a hundred aspects, each with a different name and appearance.
Hukon, god of earthquakes
Addaioth, god of volcanoes
Estreuth, god of drought
Mathlann, god of storms

Nethu, doorkeeper of the Underworld, son of Ereth Khial
Anath Raema, goddess of the savage hunt, sister of Khaine
Hekarti, goddess of conjurations and Dark Magic

Templar, what he's asking is if the High Elves acknowledge that other deities like Ulric, Myrmidia, Gork/Mork, etc... exist.

Uriell, I would say yes. As far as I have read, there is no fluff that actually states acknowledgement of other deities, except for the Chaos Gods, but given that fantasy based dieties usually provide physical proof of existence, it would be pretty hard to deny their existence.

In that case yes, they definitly aknowledge the existance of other gods.

The 4 Chaos Gods are indisputable as are Gork, Mork, the Great Maw, and the Old Ones.

the Human gods are more doubtful. They don't have as much direct contact with their followers.

Unless you count Ulric and his magical always burning fire that he placed on top of the mountain he punched flat so they could build a city on it..

I think the Elves think the humans worship some of the same Gods (or aspects fo them) under different names?

Isha = Rhya
Kurnous = Taal
Lileath = Shallya
Mathlann = Manann
Loec = Ranald
