IMO the biggest omission Alston made was leaving out the Hin Heroes. IMO these are much more central than many of the obscure Immortals on this list.
WotI was of course written with all of Mystara in mind. Had it been written specifically for the Known World there are some groups that might have been left out:
Obscure Known World Immortals
Benekander
Ka
Noumena (Nithian)
Pflarr (Nithian)
Rad
Rathanos (Fire) - Thothians
Maat (Nithian)
Sinbad (Nithian)
Yav(Yavi)
It is hard to claim that Rad is irrelevant for the Known World, but looking at his number of followers in the Known World, he would belong here.
Also, as discussed in another current thread, these might have been considered too obscure:
Olympians
Kythria (Aphrodite)
Lokena(Athena)
Palson (Apollo)
Patura (Hera)
Taroyas (Zeus)
Turmis (Hermes)
Probably also the Cynidiceans:
Cynidicea
Gorm
Madarua
Usamigaras
And possibly even the patrons of the Undersea?
Undersea
Crakkak of the Sharp Tooth
Gorrziok the Wave Lord
Malafor the Dolphin Friend
Saasskas the Destroyer
Sharpcrest the Squid Slayer
Polonius the Designer
Kallala of the Seven Veils
Slizzark
In this post, I am adding groups of Immortals that are associated with regions that border to, but are not truly part of the Known World. I am also including the Dragon Rulers here:
Alphatia/Ochalea:
Alphatia
Razud
Koryis
Palartarkan (Ar)
Ssu-Ma (Ochalean)
Pearl Islands/Tangor
Korotiku
Dragon
Diamond
Opal
The Great One
Pearl
Cynidicea
Gorm
Madarua
Usamigaras
Norwold
Harrow (Diabolus)
Liena
Marwdyn, the Hanged Man
I'm associating Harrow with Norwold because of the later Diaboli colonisation there, but I understand if that seems arbitrary. I could see placing him an Liena in the Thyatian pantheon actually. Marwdyn is also a tricky case. I suppose he could be Alphatian?
