Demerhaze is the enemy of all the dark gods, and she has some degree of
power over them all, able to, at the least, drive them away from those
they threaten.
In my original conception, Calra was also the Goddess of Disease, and
Scorax was the God of Madness and Forbidden Knowledge.

Some thoughts on the three war gods:
Yaga represents War as a near-elemental force, embodying the very worst
of it.
Halata/Akhur is the warriors' God, War in the heroic/epic/chivalric
tradition. He focuses on individual warriors more than on the big picture.
Mithrac is the soldiers' God, War as organized activity--In some ways,
very like the Greek Athena. He focuses on the tools of war and their
application.
Mithrac and Halata/Akhur are probably enemies of Yaga.

It's Coron, not Corron . . . and therefore, it should be Malacoron. I've
corrected the spelling on the page.

See above.
As for the other Dark Gods:
Ertoslator is a Sedonian name which translates roughly as
"Dragon's-words". He is the messenger of the dark pantheon, and the God
of Intrigue and Betrayal. His enemies are Sedon and Lucia, most
prominently. The Liar is also the God of Shapechangers, although nearly
all of them are still imprisoned in Demerhaze's Halls of Nightmare.
Sul the Insatiable Maw is the God of Famine, Greed, and Lust. His
appetites are, literally, insatiable, and most of the other goblin-gods
are perfectly happy with Sul's continued imprisonment in the Dreaming.
Sul's name is the Avaeran word for "void" or "abyss". Even imprisoned,
Sul can still affect the minds of beings on Celandra. Like Yaga, Sul's
worshippers are usually his first targets. Sul's enemies are
Arrumantha/us and Cascasoevin.
