Gods of the Hyborian Age:
"I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content." -Conan by Robert E. Howard

Dead Gods of the Lost City:
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die." -H.P. Lovecraft
Osorus: ('oh-SAUR-us') Falcon-headed Pharaoh of the Gods, ruler of the sun, the moon and the stars, of war, and life everlasting; "the distant one," the "one who is above, over."
Sekhmet: ('SEK-met') Goddess of war, fertility, healing, women and of the sun. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to man.
Uthoth: ('OO-thoth') Ibis-headed scribe of the gods, associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, magic, language, knowledge, science, commerce and thieves. He bears startling similarities to the Stygian god, Ibis.
Sutekh: ('SOO-tek') Canine-headed god of the desert, storms, disorder, suffering and violence. This usurper is afflicted with a strong resemblance to the Stygian god, Set.
