This article is about NetHack's deities. For gauntlets of dexterity (aka GoD), see gauntlets of dexterity.

A god is lawful, neutral, chaotic, or unaligned. In every NetHack game, the role of your adventurer determines the set of gods that the game uses. Each set contains one lawful, one neutral, and one chaotic god; your quest is to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor for the god of your alignment. The unaligned god is always Moloch. Marduk is described in the introductory text as the Creator, from whom Moloch stole the Amulet of Yendor.

The pantheon for priest(esse)s is selected from a single role; so if a priest's lawful god is Blind Io, the neutral god is always going to be The Lady.
