Some gods are part of neither the Old nor the New pantheon. These are referred to as "foreign" or "pagan" gods.
The Sea Dragon claims to be the oldest of all living creatures. Or perhaps
his priests make that claim. The Sea Dragon himself rarely speaks.
He rules the deeps and the shallows and all the water in between.
He is worshipped as the premier sea god in the Celestial Kingdom.
Land creatures sacrifice ships and boats (small models if they can't afford
real ones) to propitiate the Sea Dragon.
Kali
Kali is the Mahadevi (Great Goddess) in her death aspect. For new life to exist, the old must be destroyed. She is the slayer of demons, but also the bringer of plagues and natural disasters. Her dance can destroy the world. Female orcs worship her in secret. She likes blood sacrifices.
Now he is a god, but Hanuman was born a mortal. Some legends say he is the offspring of a monkey and a stone dragon. Never heard of a stone dragon? Well, maybe she was the only one. The Monkey King had various adventures throughout the east, aiding some gods and hindering others. He stole the peaches of immortality from Heaven, and basically tricked his way into godhood. He is a master shapeshifter, and knows all sorts of obscure spells. He is the protector of monkeys and apes (but only a few humans). He is sometimes invoked by people feeling oppressed by gods.
Min is invoked by all sorts of travellers and traders, especially those travelling across desert lands. Roads and paths are his protectorate, especially those across desolate and/or dangerous areas. He is the god of irrigation and canals. (Water considered as something that needs to be moved from one place to another, a form of trade.) As such, he brings fertility to barren lands.
Wherever herds of mammals graze, from the northern tundra to the tropical savannah, Kikiejumel reigns. He is their protector and goad. He is not antagonistic to hunters and herders, as long as they respect his balance. His priests don deer skins, paint themselves with blood, and dance the eternal dance.
God of wild forests. He is a protector of trees. He dislikes cities and roads. A sly god, he leads travellers astray. He is the god of the change in seasons, a god of death and chaos as a natural phenomenon.
Leib-olmai is the god of predators, especially mammals. The elves worship him as a war god. His arrows never miss. His priests wear the skins of large carnivores (bear, tiger, wolf, etc.) and take on that animal as their totem. Leib-olmai is god of the cycle of predator-prey and the mystical transfer of life from eaten to eater.
Legend has Vielund born mortal, a foundling derro (half-dwarf) smith of exceptional genius. He was enslaved to a king of the underearth world, who had him crippled to prevent his escape. For years he worked for this king, unwilling, bitter, but unable to ever do less than his best. Finally, he had his revenge: he murdered both of the king's scheming sons and drove the king to madness. Then the smith slew the king and escaped onto the surface world. Vielund mastered smithcraft as no other had, before or since. Becoming one with his art, he forged himself into a god.
Her true name is known only to her high priests, but followers of Ela identify her with Lilith, Ela's first-created woman. Lychmuttra knows the secrets of undeath, disease, and curses. She is said to favor sacrifices of young children and babies.
