I have tried to scan the forums and the manual for information on the faiths but I just can't seem to find answers to my qestions. Here it goes:
1. Are there any myths about the godly world. e.g. which one/ones of them created the world and how, how did Grannoch creat the giants and why, why are some of the gods enemies etc.
2. Is it okay to sacrifice to the gods, not dwarfs, human etc. but food and stuff.
3. Is the godly world a true polytheism, in the sence that if you go to war you pray/sacrifice to a war god and if you are about to sail somewhere you would pray/sacrifice to a sea god.

2) Yeah, there's no set system of course... but I have chests of stuff I've consecrated to Dorand for example.
3) Yup. You find it more often with those without a specific deity, but even those with a deity will do so. I mean, before a big battle my priest would ask Dorand for a blessing, but might ask Vorax for courage. Or Deliar for a bit of luck. Or whatever.

From the timeline:
-9500 Speculationis that the first non-dragon races started to appear. Many believe that the dragons and Dragon Gods created these races.
Of course, that's thousands of years ago before the Cataclysm, so who knows what to believe.
As for who created the world and how, I'm afraid that that is lost in the mists of time ;) (Or in Leanthar's attic in one of the tons of binders of 15 years of Layonara campaigns, hehe). As for why some gods are enemies, or friendly or allied, if you look at it really roughly, you'll see they're race or domain related. However, for the "odd" (meaning you'd think they're frinedly but they're not, or vice versa) relations, there are reasons, except that's the business of those gods, most aren't inclined to tell their followers why they don't get along with another deity.
