These are the groups of people I imagine would end up worshipping the different draconians. Would like to hear if anyone agrees or disagrees, or if I missed anything.
galleryArmadon: people who value the Earth and protection of nature overall. Miners are farmers are familiar with working with the Earth and would be well at home in or near the hollows. You also have eco-activists and hippies who value nature more than civilization. Finally, many first nations tribes from the former Americas may find a link between Armadon and natural spirits.
Blizzard: people who are generally good nature and will help others, such as medical practitioners and humanitarians. The introduction of the draconians would cause a huge divide among religious groups, with some more open-minded people believing Blizzard is the real god while others would accuse it of being a false god (and probably perish due to their refusal to adapt). Finally we have Tibetan monks who, given that Blizzard was trapped in the Himalayas would have been secretly aware of his existence, while Inuit tribes and people who generally can handle colder climates be fully capable of living in his domain.
Chaos: people who are well-meaning but clouded by hatred, xenophobia, paranoia or visions of an ideal world. There will be a lot of degeneracy and debauchery. Also people who refuse to ally with the other gods and believe that a once-human draconian is better suited to lead the world despite the obvious decay happening around them. Politicians would also fight for the opportunity to be Chaos' right-hand man and stir discourse try to convince the masses that they're the right fight while their opponent is a threat. Then you would have mad doctors who will try to replicate Chaos' experiments. Finally, police officers who won't hesitate to use brutality will join the ranks.
Diablo: as per the game's profile, people who are cruel and vicious. We have serial killers, murderers, drug cartels, terrorists, and abusers. The ultra-wealthy, who are more than willing to sacrifice human lives to further their own gain, will not hesitate to try to bargain with Diablo for a chance to achieve great power.
Sauron: people who believe that those with power greater than themselves will prevail. Those who are susceptible to the influence of cults will blindly worship the god of hunger and be more than willing to give their own life to satisfy it. Those apt at hunting big game with a kill or be killed mentality may share Sauron's value, and may survive by trading large bounty in exchange for their lives to be spare. Fishermen might also fair better due to their proximity to the ocean which they're familiar with and being at sea may spare them from Sauron's hunger. People who used to drive large trucks believe that bigger is better and will blindly put their faith in the larger draconian. Finally those in the military are more than willing to give up their lives for their fellow soldiers and also believe that attacking first is the way to go.
Talon: this one was a bit harder, but came down to a mix of the more vulnerable and survivalists. Orphans and those who are mentally impaired may be attracted by Talon's "cool" factor who in term may show some mercy on them as he is a father himself. Of course his priority is his own tribe so they may just end up being treated like pets and cattle. Some people who are very lazy will be perfectly content with being hand-fed in exchange for being chased with butterfly nets. Meanwhile, because Talon's South Pacific island crashed into the mainland and because his domain is the strip, he probably first encountered Amazonian tribes and nature survivalists perfectly suited to live in the jungle.
Vertigo: people who are insane. First we have heavy drug users who will due the goddess' bidding in exchange for a fix. Dangerous psychopaths will gladly obey her commands whispered in their fragile minds while acting as the militia. Being the only female draconian, Vertigo will also attract misandrists, while her sorcery will appeal to those interested in witchcraft. The greater majority of her worshippers will actually be hypnotized are forced to serve against their will.
