Minor deities and patron figures is an index of gods, divine retainers, sponsors, and worship-linked figures who affect the Earth crawl without consistently serving as principal characters. It includes Algos, Pontifex Shine, Yemaya, Eileithyia, Ogun, Khepri, Yarilo, Cerberus, and other limited-appearance figures. this story groups figures whose divine or patron status matters more than their page time. Inclusion does not imply common allegiance. Some are mythology-based dungeon entities, some are outside sponsors driving deity shells, some are retainers in the Ascendency, and some are named only in quests or historical testimony. A god visible in the dungeon may be a system entity, a shell occupied by an outside sponsor, or a temporarily autonomous personality. Pontifex Shine sponsors Ysalte but is not inside her shell during the Eighth Floor confrontation. Eileithyia is sponsored by Huanxin Jinx. Those facts cannot be simplified into the sponsor and deity being the same person. The Twelfth Floor Celestial Ascendency turns divine relationships into a political network. Eileithyia seeks Yemaya as a retainer, while older family conflicts shape Ogun, Asojano, and their followers. Boons, adjutants, voting rights, and shrine restoration can affect future Ascendency positions long before crawlers reach that floor. Crawler worship can unlock powers, titles, quests, or protections, but it can also create smiting conditions and rival obligations. Ogun's worshippers face consequences for aiding Yemaya. Maggie My's association with Algos is engineered to make Carl and Katia suffer. A divine affiliation is therefore a mechanical contract as well as a belief identity. Algos is the god of pain selected by the Skull Empire against Carl's party. Khepri is a bug-headed deity with an immense temple and later hostility toward Donut. Yarilo emerges from the Nothing and dies in the Ninth Floor conflict. Cerberus and Orthrus belong to the divine-dog network around Geyrun and Emberus. Each entry links to a dedicated article when enough verified material exists. Mythological names do not guarantee that dungeon versions reproduce Earth mythology. The series adapts, combines, and commercializes traditions for game roles. Articles should lead with observed mechanics and relationships, then note mythological resemblance only when the narrative makes it relevant.
