I agree with the Henotheistic view of humans in Birthright.
For those who don't know. Mr. Webster says the official definition is:
Henotheism - (n.) belief in or worship of one god without denying the existence of othersServant of the Most High,
Lawgiver
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

Did you know that I have learned more new words playing D & D for the last 18 years than all my years in school?

You're not the only one.

but one thing never, I ween, will die, --

For the most part I must say I am surprised that I finally agree with Lawgiver on something. The description of the different deities you described is very parallel to how I interpret it.
For expansionists to the campaign I would consider a deity for each tribe of humans as a sponsor for them, or just like the tribes of Cerilia they call them by different names but they are the same deities. I do think a couple new ones could be introduced.
For Dwarves I do agree with Moradin but if one wanted to they could expand into his famliy pantheon for new faces.
Elves I agree are deity-intollerant.
The other races I do think that many minor powers would pervert them into their influence, which explains why they never have united like the humans. Basically too many to list as perhaps each group(community) follows a different one.
Maybe even one of the lost could be trying this role with some tribe somewhere.
I do think that a hidden shadow could be available like the sleeping Azrai with only a small following somewhere or some other dark part of Azrai that if awoke would seek to unite the powers of the shadow. A possible campaign scheme.
As far as the theology goes, I am with Lawgiver in the sense that I will leave that one alone.One law, One court, One allied people, One coin, and one tax, is what I shall bring to Cerilia.

Why and on what grounds do you argue elves are diety intollerant? I believe they do have a diety.

I've been toying with the idea of using the monk character class as a basis for a new type of diety. Since elves don't believe in god's I was thinking that a monk class would work for elves, although I'm not sure how I'm going to do this yet. I was thinking about starting it small, and keeping it a completely elven thing, but I am not going to give them any priest spell capabilities. Just another idea I might use in the future.
