The Immortals of Sind

Sind is a large desert country to the west of the Known World. Its culture is strongly based on the real-world India. Like the Hindus, the Sindhi honor a large number of Immortals. However, official TSR sources mention only two. So, being an amateur linguist, I decided to make up some Sanskrit-sounding names that the Sindhi use for various Immortals. Below is a list of most Mystaran Immortals, their areas of interest, and their 'native' names.

As you can see, even many minor Immortals are known in Sind. In my opinion, Sind is a good place for any novice Immortal to gain a few followers before he can establish himself more fully. Just make sure your portfolio is something the people would be interested in, and they will invoke your name (or at least their version of your name) in appropriate situation!
