what would the FGG be divines of? what would they do with it?

I think there are many possible answers to this question, but here are some random ideas...

Evan, Divine of Righteousness. He uses his divine powers to make the world a better place in any way he can. He continues to help people with their problems and tries to set right every wrong he encounters.

Lukas, Divine of Melancholy. Suicide was a choice that has now been taken away from him. Perhaps he wallows in self-pity forever, or maybe he decides to get his shit together and make the world a place worth living in. Probably teams up with Evan in that regard.

Glenvar, Divine of Drink. Just sails around the world and drinks himself to death over and over again with no consequences.

Alaine, Divine of Music. Uses her powers to become a world-famous pop star, fulfilling her childhood dream.

Jeimos, Divine of Nerds. Hacks into a Damijani news feed and broadcasts a special message for Chieftess Serafeen. All of Damijana sees Jeimos' bare ass that day, and no one can do anything about it because they're a divine.

Isaac, Divine of Joy. Tries to bring fun and laughter wherever he goes. Gives toys to children. Believes everyone deserves happiness and uses his powers to bless everyone who needs it. Becomes dort of a Santa Claus-like figure.

Linde, Divine of Self-Care. She's like the yin to Miliko's yang, the good to his evil. Miliko promotes vanity and self-criticism, while Linde promotes acceptance and loving onesself.

Balthazaar, Divine of Dudes. He gives a voice to all the Regular Joes of Looming Gaia, the middle-class blue collar guys. Not flashy rich men, but the average dude.

Skel, Divine of Ego. He's too busy obsessing over himself to help others. He uses his powers to obtain wealth and gobs of fancy bullshit that helps him feel "above" everyone else.

Javaan, Divine of Promiscuity. Breaks the record for "largest orgy on Looming Gaia" every year for a thousand years in a row.

Elska, Divine of Vengeance. If you piss her off, you can never stop running because she'll never stop chasing. Whoever gets on her bad side is screwed.

Mr. Ocean, Divine of Devotion. He is bound to whoever or whatever he loves for all eternity, forced to protect them with his immortal life. Everyone selfishly seeks his love, and he is so overwhelmed that he's forced into hiding with Salina and Marina. They're like "we told you so, bro..."

Zeffer, Divine of Vampire-Slayers. He forges monsters that seek and destroy vampires. They get out of control, and now they're after him too. He's forced into hiding for all eternity.

Zacry, Divine of Automatons. Can a robot contain a divine soul? I don't know. But if it did, this would change the way people view automatons forever. Zacry would become some kind of Machine-Jesus for all robotkind.

Could a Gnoll or Orc divine currently exist from the time when the species was alive? If so, how would the Divines act knowing they were the last of their kind?

I don't see why not! I'm sure there are extinct species divines out there, but because their kind has become so rare, they have all gone into hiding.

I suspect there is at least one divine hogman hiding out among the hogmen tribes in the Shrieking Mountains. Perhaps there is a divine orc still kicking around in the ruins of ancient orc civilizations, all alone underground. And it's easy to imagine a divine gnoll fleeing into the deep wilderness, basically reverting into a feral animal because they have no one on their side.

These divines would be forced to isolate themselves, or else just hang out with other divines. Cerno would be a safe choice, since he is ostracized from society as well. Green Witch might accept them too.

randomhedgehog Depending on which medieval culture, they'd either be relatively fine or hell would break loose. There's also the risk of disease contamination between Looming Gaia illnesses, which normal humans wouldn't be protected against, and real world illnesses that Looming Gaia people wouldn't be protected from. Some species would be fine from it, but if real world bubonic plaque was introduced to Evangeline, they're probably doomed

The disease aspect is a very good point I didn't consider!

What would happen if a medevil kingdom from our world got teleported to gaia

Unfortunately I don't know much about real world history, so I can't give a great answer. But maybe a history buff can chime in on this in the comments?

I would say Evangeline Kingdom is the most similar to a real-world medieval culture, so I think Evangeline's government would jump on this and try to assimilate these people into their kingdom. That's a lot of new soldiers and tax payers overnight!

What would happen if lukes mum came back to life and to drifters hollows

Now that would be one awkward situation!

Besides Lukas, Evan is the only one who knows what Moswen looks like. So if she suddenly showed up in the village, no one would realize who she was at first.

If Evan was the first to notice her, I think he'd try to get rid of her before she made contact with Lukas. Seeing her again would upset Lukas beyond belief, and Evan knows that nothing good can come of that. I don't know that Evan would kill her, but he might throw a bag over her head and take her somewhere far, far away from the Hollow.

He might need the crew's help to pull this off. I can imagine them trying frantically to intercept her while she searches for Lukas. And when they finally succeed, they agree to never mention anything about it to him.

Chaotic scenario idea: Morgause is gifted this thing:

The 1000-THR Earthmover, a machine hundreds of meters tall whose lightning cannon can decimate a city, a shield generator making it impervious to all attacks on it’s exterior, and large enough to also house a city. Finally, It is powered by both solar energy and blood.

What type of hell have I unleashed by giving Morgause this giant robot alpaca?

Her first move would be to unleash this thing on the Seelie Court. Once they were destroyed, she would try to unleash it on the rest of the world.

But I think realistically, world governments would step in the second she turned it on the Seelie Court. Because they know what her next move after that will be, and they will not tolerate it. It would turn into the most lopsided war in history: all Great Kingdoms vs. Unseelie Court.

Ironically, giving Morgause this much power would lead to her destruction.

In each kingdom what would happen if a noble lady married a peasant

I think this is usually frowned upon. In most cases, nobles are expected to marry other nobles or at least people of high status and wealth. All Great Kingdoms have different laws and taboos about this, but also, every territory within the Kingdoms might have different attitudes too.

I can't get into the rules of every single territory because there's too many, but I can talk about some examples.

In Evangeline Kingdom, nobles are strongly encouraged to marry other nobles, or at least someone blood-related to one. This is true across the entire kingdom and all its territories; a noble marrying a peasant would be very controversial here. People would riot and assassins would get paid.

Evangelite nobles are picky about their marriages. They would rather marry one of their royal siblings or cousins than a random peasant (hence why Evangelite royals are so inbred....it's a real problem.)

A noble's spouse must also be a native citizen to Evangeline Kingdom, meaning they were born and raised on Evangelite soil. Marriage to a foreigner, even a noble one, is not legal for their royalty.

Meanwhile in Matuzu Kingdom...Queen Moswen of Uekoro told her son to find a high class wife. Her species and nationality wasn't important, just that she was a high status person and not a peasant.

When Jelani took Moswen's throne, he changed the rules because he wanted to marry Evan, who certainly wasn't rich. So, in some cases the rules can change from one generation to the next. Some cultures are more accepting of new traditions than others. Matuzans are much more open minded than Evangelites.

I would say of all Great Kingdoms, Etios, Folkvar, and Unseelie are most tolerant of nobles marrying peasants. Evangeline, Yerim-Mor, and Seelie are least tolerant. The others vary a lot by territory.
