Sekhmet would be better for Rage. Anubis is a Law/Doom Denizen, Horus is a Time/Light Denizen Isis would be Life Denizen and Osiris Law or Doom, for similar reasons Anubis could be considered one. Thoth is a Mind Denizen, hands down.
Set could be Sand Denizen.
From the other mythos: Ahura Mazda would be a good Light or Mind Denizen (god of truth and light) and Ahriman could be Law or Sand Denizen (god of lies and darkness).
From the other mythos: Vayu is a Breath Denizen (god of all winds and air), Agni is a Flow Denizen (sacrificial fire), Varuna is Law or Might Denizen (law of the underworld, and all forms of water), Parvati is a Life or Space Denizen (being a mother godess and an Earth deity), Indra is a Mind or Rage Denizen (storm deity, warrior), Durga is a Fate or Blood Denizen (unstoppable force, great warrior) and Kali is a Denizen of Time (given that her name is a feminine form of a hindu word for Time).

Thinking about possible star denizens: Tala, Tzitzimitl, Astarte, maybe Tawaret or Hathor?
Atarsamain is one I'm thinking of for AA, given the gender thing.

I'm thinking about using Ganesha as a Fate denizen.

Oooh. Ganesha would be a neat pick for Fate, I like that.
I also think he'd be good for Light. 'Opener of the Way,' anyone?

Heh, for Sound players, I lean towards Gabriel as a denizen. :3

I'm feeling strongly tempted to give my Seer (of time, but I think this'd be a Seer-specific denizen) a "Witch" Denizen--not a Denizen for witches, a Denizen that the game explicitly calls a witch and encourages to act like a witch. So it'd speak in riddles as a given and instead of forcing you to run all over your Land on futile quests it'd throw terrible lose-lose "decisions" at you to test your emotional limits.
I can't think of who it'd be though. It should probably still be some kind of monster, but possibly named after a famous witch. "Baba Yaga" is what jumps to mind except of course that's two words and doesn't fit the naming theme. Possibly I could go with naming it after one of the Fates, whichever one was responsible for cutting the thread of life (don't know any of their names), unless that name's taken.

For Time archetype of "fates"? How about Atropos, Morrigan (that could also be Rage or Doom Denizen) or even Zorya (that could also be Light or Fate Denizen). Heck, Hekate would be awesome. For Sound... Gabriel is ok, but how about Metatron (voice of god in judeochristian mythology)? or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israfel, the Angel of the Trumpet from islam? Ganesha works both for Fate and Light. Really, I am all for Denizens covering more than one Aspect.

As I said, this Denizen is for Seers, not Time, just like Hephasteus is probably for Knights rather than Time. Game probably has both.
Or at least that was the plan. Atropos is actually perfect for what I wanted and is time-related more than seer-appropriate. So add her on to the Time list.
edit: Ok, so let's officialize it:
Atrophos the Crone: Time/Mind denizen. Presents the player with terrible choices, possibly over and over again until the message gets through. Mind players would probably be encouraged to come to view them as a forced self-improvement device in the same way kismeses are for trolls, while Time players would end up at a halfway point between that and the normal "coming to like them" thing.

I'm starting to think that we shouldn't have any Denizens that are angels, for obvious reasons, despite being the one to suggest Gabriel. For Sound, I was thinking Heimdall, who sounds the trumpet at the start of Ragnarok, like Gabriel does.

Well, Hussie has Yaldabaloth, who is basically gnostic satan figure (oversimplification, it kills me) as a Heart Denizen. It is close enough for judeochristian mythos, so would that mean figures of monotheistic religions can be denizens in roundabout way? We all need to be reasonable here.

I think the reasoning for not having angel Denizens is because it might cause confusion with the Angels. So Yaldabaoth is fine, Gabriel is not. :3

To be fair, it probably is possible to have an Angel Denizen. It's just it's a glitch and means that the Denizen actually is an angel, which is all kinds of bad.

Even more than that, it means that they have an ARCHANGEL as a Denizen. Which is all kinds of superduperHolyfuckhowamIgettingoutofthisalive bad.
