Gods of Guild Wars?

In the Temple of the Ages, there's a statue to most of them... I don't remember if they're all there.

Necro has Grenth as their god
say hi to Grenth:

Sausaletus Rex
Bonetti's an NPC, too, isn't he? I don't think he's a "god" per se. And Rodgort strikes me as more a demon/god figure for Fire ele, not Elementalists as a whole. But what about Dwayna?

Omg Monks have TWO GODS!!!? Imbalance!? Nerf!  |
According to a grenth statue within the catacombs in the new ascalon area, grenth is the necro god. Had a nice little story about his first follower attached to it.

How where you suppoused to beat it without dying once for the fire trap? One was already activated, you had to die walking through one, and the other, with a bow, you could get the monster to come, activate it, and kill himself.

Mesmer is Lyssa.

And well.. following with the trend of patron gods having statues by the trainers in pre-searing, the statue of Dwayna is in the middle of the Abbey, so I would assume that it's Dwayna.. Not sure where that puts Balthazar.. Maybe he's the smiting monk god?
Spooky
I imagine that Dwayna and Balthazar are something akin to a Yin and Yang. One governs over healing, the other, destruction. As for Lyssa, she is represented as twins. Both of them have one half of their face covered with a mask (a different half for each), presumably to play up the 'deceptive appearances' theme of subversion and trickery that the Mesmer is based on. There's a mural of this, along with most of the other deities, in Ascalon. In Post Searing, you need only go up the steps past Warmaster Tydus, and hang a left, and that's where they'll be.

How about making a guide on gods (probably not now, but sometime in the future). Who knows? Maybe you can make up sidestories for them too! (Like holy devotees beseeching quests from their patron dieties, and through short adventures gaining a rough sense of the gods' individual personalities). What's that? Blasphemy? Bah! I call it freedom of speech and expression!

youre supposed to get around them by raising a bone horror and having it trigger the explosion, but that didnt work for me.
Lews
You can walk around? I tried that several times, it never worked. I also tried the bone minion thing, never worked either. I think you could use an ally walking through, then you res them, then you walk through and they res you.
Spooky
I certainly wouldn't mind having a Lore section here. I'm of the mindset that, if a site is going to be as big as this one is, then you might as well just go all the way and be a comprehensive resource for everything.
I suspect it's the kind of thing that would have to wait until the next and final BWE, however. Aside from what I might have taken from the various statue texts, there really isn't a great deal of information in regards to these kind of things. Almost all of the story that is in the game currently, is in relation directly to the matters at hand. The main story, the progression of the missions, etc. Things like lore texts, things that shape the history of the world GW takes place in, I wouldn't expect to see until we're almost out the door .. because they're basically just embellishments.

Right in the middle. I even stopped and danced. But that was last BWE.
I thought it was because the traps weren't glowing anymore. But who knows.. I might be a ghost after all..

I believe Balthazar is the warrior god. His statue stands next to the Warrior trainers in the tutorials, and every skill linked to his name seem to be targeted at warriors or at least melee fighters. Dwayna is then the monk god; Elementalists don't seem to have a god (at least no statue could be found that clearly belonged to them), possibly because they worship elements instead of divine powers?
There's one golden statue near Fort Ranik (where you get the basket of apples) that could be the Elementalist god, but I don't recall its name, and it didn't really strike me as very typically Elementalist since it wore skulls around its neck.

Silmor is correct about the warrior god

Balthazar is the god of War and Fire.
Dwayna seems to be the god of Healing.
Grenth is some sort of Death god.
Rodgort seems to be a demon.
Verata and Bonetti are NPCs, like Galrath.

I know it is mentioned in the manual which gods are gods of which class. I would list it now but i'm at work and i left my manual at home. Maybe later today then or if someone else has one

Bonetti is an actual swordsman. Rocco Bonetti was a master fencer, and his name has been previously borrowed in The Princess Bride:

Capo Ferro is another of these, I think there is a character in GW named similarly for whom you act as a guard on the quest to kill a brigand (Possibly Farrah Capo? They're really shameless
)?

I know, they're listed under "The Old Gods".
But maybe they added/will add "The New Gods"

My monk is an atheist monk. he thinks all those monks that believe in that balthazar guy are really just wasting a lot of time going to the monastery and doing all their rituals and stuff. Don't get me wrong, rituals can be beneficial, but not when they involve killing rabbits.

I don't know if this is off-topic from the original post, but as an interesting note, in addition to statues of gods, there are also shrines. My wife and myself were wandering through D'Alesso Seaboard, when we noticed a semi-hidden path that lead to a bunch of ancient oakhearts. After killing them, we found a shrine of Melandru, as well as a broken bridge to an area that looked almost like a small town. The lore on Melandru from her statue in Regent Valley, said that she turned a tribe into those oakhearts to protect nature. Is it possible that little town was where that tribe first came about?
p.s. there is no way that we can see to get to that town. Anyone else have any luck?

Rodgort isn't a god, it's an easter egg:P

TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!!
Trogdor was a man
I mean, he was a dragon-man
Or, maybe he was just a dragon
But he was still...
TROGDOR!!! TROGDOR!!!
Burninating the countryside
Burninating the peasants
Burninating all the people
And their thatched-roofed cottages
THATCHED-ROOFED COTTAGES!!!
And then Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIGHT!!!

EDIT: What do I get for pointing this out?

So we have Trogdor the Burninator, a few classical fencing masters, and a reference to Evil Dead: Army of Darkness... Klaatu Verata Nictu! Which comes from the classic film The Day the Earth Stood Still
If he gets a cookie for Trogdor I want one for spotting the fencers and movie reference...

Trogdor definitely makes sense as a god of fire.
Zexion
Actually, it's "Klatu Verata Nicto/N¤¤(#/&¤(/&¤(".
Yeah, great movie.
But I must have been so cracked up by people regarding Trogdor for a god, just because of a single skill in GW:P
