03-20-08, 01:12 AM Your deities can reside wherever you feel they should. If you want the gods of the X river to be within said river (or to be the river itself) then *poof* you can make it so. Should you wish to create a vast celestial bureaucracy wherein the gods each have their assigned duties and realms, then it is so. There are no rules for this sort of thing, its far more a creative and aesthetic decision than anything else.
