JmOz Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have decided that my world will have 13 gods, they will be divided evenly into one of three groups (Light, Shadow, Dark), with the extra going into Shadow. Each God will operate under many names, and thus I am not woried about names yet (But will take any anyone comes up with) My problem is I am one god short... This is what I have so far Gods Gods of Light Battle/Goodness/Defense/Generosity/justice Healing/ Natural Beauty /love/Agriculture *********** Magic Gods of the Shadows Death Knowledge/History/Stories/Sciences Crafts/Forges/Fire/Art Wilderness Magic Gods of the Dark Lies/Deceit/Jokes/tricks/Wickedness/Greed Conspiracies/intrigue/spies/plots/insects/serpents War/Slaughter/Undead/Disease Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intrope Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: Need help with the Gods Peace/Spirituality/Enlightenment/Purity would seem like a good god. Also, that would make the Dark and Light gods into pairs: Battle/Goodness/Defense/Generosity/justice v. War/Slaughter/Undead/Disease Healing/ Natural Beauty /love/Agriculture v. Conspiracies/intrigue/spies/plots/insects/serpents Peace/Spirituality/Enlightenment/Purity v. Lies/Deceit/Jokes/tricks/Wickedness/Greed Hope that helps.

Cancer Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: Need help with the Gods Y'know, you're missing a big slab of classical pantheon functionality, unless your campaign will never come close to a coastline. Where are you going to put the sea/fish/weather/climate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: Need help with the Gods Life Cycle = Water, and is usually female. You can rebel and make it male, but generally, it's a female presence. Moon/Water/Birth/Death - the Moon symbolizes all those things all by Herself. Tide, birth (new moon) life (waxing moon) death (waning moon) death (guess... new moon) which is also birth! (new moon). Also, suggestion: take out your 5th Shadow god and make it a nameless/dead/unknown god. Then you've got a perfect circle, but people who know their history & lore know something is missing. There are 13 Gods in the OLD texts, but only 12 in the new. Why? Is it important? Well? IS IT?! This is a major element in my game now (the known past vs. the not necessarily known present) and it causes all manner of chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea As For the ocean, It i part of the domain of the god of the wilderness. The gods of Magic are taking the Astrological Sun (Light) Stars (Shadow) Moon (dark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
