I do not know much more about the various gods except what is
stated in the rule book.  Here are a few general ramblings that you may
or may not know.

Breaking devotion to the good or neutral gods carries vary little
penalty.  You will get a statement to the effect of "feels somewhat
cursed".  This only lingers for a turn and does not seem to have a
dramatic affect (probably lowers your chances of success slightly).
The evil gods are another matter.  The worst case I have heard of is
breaking devotion to Mordtch.  He will eliminate ALL dodge/retreat and
damage point bonuses your character has acumulated.

The recharge rate for magic points with Kellen (and I suspect
Wokrob and Roegoth) is 1.  Kellen is designed to really help beginning
characters get weapon lord in their weapons.   After weapon lord, Kellen
can not help too much in gaining weapon points (their is still a bonus,
but it is small).

If there are not any gods that are apealing right now, wait a while
(I do not know how long).  There is going to be a new batch of dieties
showing up and one of them is going to be a fighter elf.  I would bet
that he will help in combat magic.  Not sure what his downside is going to
be.  Mordtch is the only diety that I know of whose benefits go up with
devoutness.
