There are two main populations of Ducks. The first are the Ducks of Dragon Pass whereas the second are Keets who live in the Eastern Isles. The Keets include avian species other than ducks, such as parrots.

The Ducks live in and around the Upland Marsh where they make a living as fishers and petty-criminals. The Keets are a more civilized breed (but still fishers) and their neighbours can actually say something nice about them without thinking deeply.

>Whom do they worship?(Do they have their own pantheon?)

The Ducks of Dragon Pass worship Orlanthi Pantheon while the Keets worship the Eastern Pantheon, which is heavily into mysticism.

>Whom do they serve or do they stand alone?

The Ducks used to be part of the Kingdom of Sartar but are now hunted by Sartarites under a Lunar-sponsored pogrom (The General who ordered it was having a bad day). They hide out in the Upland Marsh and the Beast Valley where there are few humans.

The Keets are spread throughout many Eastern Isles. Most Keets live alongside humans while some isles are mostly Keets.
