And there don't have to be God's for each specific alignment. Many of them cover multiple alignments.
And the paladins of the Sunken Temple would tend to cover 'good' -- whether Chaotic or Neutral or Lawful...up to the individual paladin.

Re: The New Old Gods
Kragen had always considered himself a representative of the people. He tried to be the voice reason while advocating for the prosperity of all through commerce, trade, and development. The need to send so many sailors to their death defending against aggression saddened him. At the end of the active game he had comercial holdings in eight different domains and was looking to expand into others. He prefered peaceful development to confrontation.
Kragen had the long life blood ability. In the long term he had plans to form a small church in True Bargain dedicated to commerce and trade. Having long life, I he was not in a hurry to ascend. With his philosophy and NG alignment he considered Corbin a betrayer that needed to be opposed and probably would be a lesser deity pledged to The Architect.
Kragen would be most like Waukeen from forgotten realms:

Re: The New Old Gods
Small Rant from me... I believe there is a significant imbalance between the various domain spells that the different gods have... To the point where all that I see is everyone going for Ryel for the improved bless land.

Re: The New Old Gods
Several faiths have improved bless land (Architect, Nesirie, Rhyel, even Arawn I think).
Edit Moradin, Rhyel, Corbin, Nesirie, and Mask all do, I thought Architect did but doesn't apparently.

Re: The New Old Gods
Now that I have played with them, from a domain power perspective there is a very clear mechanical hierarchy.
1. Rhyel
2. Moradin
3. LARGE GAP
4. Everyone else
Improved bless land and bless land affecting guilds is a major culprit, but Free Academy and source healing are also incredibly relevant. Anyone not playing 1. or 2. is at a significant disadvantage for sure.

Re: The New Old Gods
I agree with your hierarchy of domain-power. All the religious were designed by players, playing their faiths last game...
However, the calculus is very different if you are a different class
Eg:
Ranger of the Forester is amazing
Paladin of Architect is great for domain level multicultural human lands (language bonus, reduction of cross-race penalty)
Bards of Mats of course as well is really good (almost full wizard casting! at +1 level)

Re: The New Old Gods
There are also some cases, eg where yes, bless is weak, but Maintain Armies is available and Dispel Magic (Architect) - very very good realm spells.

Re: The New Old Gods
If I was a priest I'd have been Priest of Nesirie, but I'm biased.
All the good spells, none of the pain from those with conceptions about Architect or Arawn.
