CrosshairCollie Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Looked through my (5e) book, couldn't find one ... looking for someone more like Anubis. Someone who is opposed to the creation and existence of undead, wanting the dead to rest in peace and go ... wherever they go. Is there such a god in official TA materials?

Nolgroth Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? Looking at this list, I do not see one. EDIT: Though Almandré may fit the bill, being the god of Fate and Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? Almandre' is described as more of the nature/druidy sort (the TA entry specifically mentions he has a sect of priests called druids, in fact). Ah well, character will not be priest. No big.

Yeah, one of the failings of Turakian Age or rather of the genericized common model of fantasy worlds that the Turakian Age is based in.

EDIT: Though Almandré may fit the bill, being the god of Fate and Time. Is there a reason why you must use a official god from Turkian age? And you could always have a different order that worships Almandre more like you were looking for than what how its listed. (and you have a reason for rivalry, or hunted, or a few other disadvantages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? I think you'd be best served with one of the esailes (the High Faith's equivalent of saints), specifically Es. Baliar. Check his description on Turakian Age p. 213 -- sounds like just what you're looking for. (See also the description of Baliar's nemesis, Malavage, under "The Demonhanded" at the bottom of that page.) [Don't mind me. Just passing through; but I couldn't let a TA question go unanswered.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? If Es. Baliar doesn't work for you, another alternative would be Gamarion, one of the "Gods Who Watch Over Eltirian." As "god of ghosts" Gamarion watches over the dead, guiding them to "an afterlife of bliss in his realm," and what would be even more appropriate for your character, is also the patron of necromancers. Like all of this pantheon Gamarion's worship is concentrated in and his attention focussed on the city-state of Eltirian, but it wouldn't be hard to justify one of his priests taking a broader role in the world. The GWWOE are described on TA pp. 213-14, and Gamarion specifically on 214. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? Thanks, Lord Liaden. One of those will probably fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? I was briefly bothered by the lack of a spell list for those guys, but then I realized that they'd just be divine versions of the Necromancy spells I was already taking as a wizard, so no actual loss.

CrosshairCollie Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Re: Turakian Age: A not-evil god of the dead? And it's all for naught, as someone else in the game wants to play the 'traditional' zombiphile Necromancer. Since our characters would be fundamentally incompatible, I'm going to be the nice guy and switch character ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
