D&D General Have we ever done a god making thread?

Aspus (minor god, Neutral): The snake god, son of Vermnia and Belli, Aspus is considered a primitive god, mostly worships by the Aspii, Aztec and some Aharati tribes.

Aztec (minor god, Neutral): Aztec is worshipped by the Aztec humans of Lost Vale, though it is in truth, a supercomputer from the Technological Age. Aztech's primary goal is the preservation and continued existence of the Aztec way of life.

Belli (moderate god, Neutral): Also known as Father Nature, Belli is the personification of the lands of Amberos itself. He is kindly towards humanity, and on good terms with elves and Halflings. Belli's relation with dwarves is strained because of their mining and excavation work, and the dwarves generally revile him. Belli is generally considered a primitive god, and does not have a large clergy. All of his priests are druids, not clerics. Belli is allied with Vermnia (wife), Silamus (son), Visha (daughter), Triton (son) and Lorius (Son).

Competius (minor god, Chaotic Good): Son of Morian, this wayward god is the husband of Discoff and often travels Amberos in mortal guise, aiding those who prove to have a glimmer of heroism in them. Competius's priests are generally wanderers and rarely full-time priests. Competius is allied with Discoff (wife) and opposes Morian (father).

Deor (minor god, Lawful Neutral): The dwarves of Amberos predate even the first gods of Amberos, and the deep dwarves are reluctant to worship Fir on these grounds. Older clans of mountain dwarves and deep gnomes on Amberos worship a powerful dwarf known as Deor, the miner. According to myth, Deor dwells in the depths of Tsre Vestu, and rarely visits his own kind.

Dhorian (head god, Neutral Good): Known as the Overlord of Amberos, Dhorian is considered to be the kings of the Amberos gods. He took the title from Phromus, and there is much enmity between the two. He is worshipped by many humans and is one of the three founders of the Knights of the South. Dhorian's symbol is a longsword, blade pointed down, symbolizing the sharp edge of justice. Dhorian is allied with Shame (wife), Opheus (son), Urdeus (son), Luna (daughter), Discoff (daughter), Magius (daughter-in-law), Shurdeua (daughter-in-law), and Gosend (ally). Dhorian opposes Ziga and the Dark One directly.

Discoff (minor goddess, Chaotic Good): A goddess of mischief, and daughter of Dhorian and Shame, Discoff is the definition of rogue on Amberos. Many Halflings, whom she freed from the grasp of Gwieze, also worship her. Her symbol is a black mask surrounded by wisps of red hair. Discoff is allied with Dhorian (father). She is related to several other gods, but cannot count on their support.

Fir (major god, Neutral Good): Described alternately as a dwarf or gnome, Fir is also known as the Master Smith. He created the first weapons, armor and other tools, and is always looking to improve them. Hill dwarves and gnomes of Amberos worship him, and blacksmiths of all non-evil races often offer prayers for his guidance. His symbol is a forge with a hammer resting on it. Fir is allied with Dhorian (ally), Shame (ally), Urdeus (ally), Opheus (ally) and Gosend (ally).

Gosend (major god, Lawful Good): Known as the Battler of Evil, Gosend constantly wages war against the evil denizens of Amberos and fiendish outsiders who come to Amberos. He is the master of unarmed combat, and even attempted to wrestle the first of dragons, Guaradrell, though he lost. He is often considered a faithful companion to Dhorian. He is the patron of monks and martial artists. Gosend is allied with Dhorian (ally), Shame (ally), Opheus (ally), Menos (son), and Shurdeua (ally).

Gwieze (moderate god, Neutral Evil): Known as the lord of shadows, Gwieze is an evil god with a secretive nature. Gwieze appeared during the Elvin Golden Age, ruling an empire of shadow that was brought down by Discoff. For those who align themselves with Gwieze, the god offers powers and secret knowledge in return for tasks they do in the god's name. Gwieze directly opposes all other gods.

Hamma (minor god, Chaotic Good): As the elves believe themselves to be the dreams of the gods themselves, they do not worship a god per se. Hamma is best described as a patron of the elves, granting aid and protection when requested. He is known by the title Yminthra, which translate to King of Kings, and is considered the King of the Elves. Elves who invoke his name are actually drawing their power from the essence of Aurora to power their magic.

Harp (moderate god, Neutral Good): The Immortal One, Harp is often described as the Keeper of the Ancient Ones. He alone provides immortality to the gods, and to mortals who please him as well. According to legend, it is the songs of Harp that keep the Ancient Ones sleeping. Harp is generally worshipped by Afarians and is the patron of bards and performers.

Jhalah (major god, Neutral Evil): The god of the dead, Jhalah was once the giant of a man, Jlihi, until he became the first person to be killed, by the dragon Guaradrell. Ever since then, Jhalah has been driven by a hunger to devour the souls of the dead. He is generally placated instead of worshipped, but he has a handful of priests he has chosen through divine portents – rarely do priests join the “church” willingly. Jhalah now guards the realm of
the dead, and undead are his mortal enemy, for he is denied the taste of their souls. Jhalah is allied with Titanicus (ally) and occasionally Ziga (ally) or Dhorian (ally), but these alliances are shaky due to his ever-ravening appetite. Jhalah directly opposes Teeth.

Kerundinius (minor god, Neutral Evil): The Black Mage, Kerundinius was an Ubunti human who was enticed by The Dark One during the Dark Age. He helped to enslave many of his kinsfolk and rose in power in the Dark One's hierarchy until he came to realize what his final fate would be – enslavement in Hell for his crimes. Kerundinius broke from the Dark One and fled from the evil one's presence, but managed to retain followers and worshippers among the Ubunti. He is now a native, minor god of foul magic. Kerundinius opposes Magius.

Ko Kassa (minor god, Neutral): The Thunder Mountain King, Ko Kassa has become the lord of the race of giants on Amberos. He is the son of Belli and Vermnia, and has long been doted on by his mother. Aharati and Ubunti human tribes generally placate him, and his true priests are exclusively giants. Ko Kassa directly opposes Deor.

Lepornunse (minor god, Chaotic Neutral): The god of disease and son of a frightful mating of Ziga and Jhalah, this god is a walking disaster. Priests of Lepornunse are often those the god has “hand-picked” for his service, and most intelligent Amberosians merely fear and placate the god of disease.

Logres (moderate god, Lawful Good): Son of Harp, Logres is a caring god who only recently arose during the Dark Age. His caring ways and preaching of peace have attracted many followers.

Lorius (minor god, Neutral): Lorius is often called “The Wind That Walks” by the Aharati and Ubunti who worship him. He is the son of Vermnia and Belli. He is a gentle, if somewhat aloof god who favors his father. He can often be found in human form and is fond of competing with individuals from Aharati or Ubunti human tribes, for the sheer sport of competition.

Luna (minor goddess, Chaotic Good): Created by Dhorian and Fir as a wife for Urdeus, Luna travels the night sky as the moon, providing light for her husband's forays against evil.

M'kree Malka (minor god, Lawful Evil): The Shark God, M'kree Malka is the foul offspring of the twin cruel acts of Silamus and Triton aboard the Nightboat. M'kree is a fearsome god of the sea who constantly hungers for flesh and power. He despises not having power on land and often “inducts” land dwellers into his clergy in an attempt to spread the faith. His followers are Shaakasti, Sahuagin and other land-bound races he has forced or scared into worshipping him. M'kree Malka directly opposes Triton (father) and Silamus (father).

Magius (minor god, Neutral Good): Daughter of Phromus, Magius was created from the absconded magic of men. For a while, Magius became a mortal and lived among men, teaching them wizardry.

She directly opposes Kerundinius.

Menos (minor god, Neutral): Son of Gosend, Menos is the epitome of mind over matter. It was Menos who devised the psionic web and taught mortals how to harness their mind into psionic abilities. Menos left Amberos at the end of the Dark Age to pursue and destroy the Dark One, causing psionics to fall into disuse during his absence. With his return, psionics is on the rise. Menos does not have priests, instead his followers are devout psions.

Nazgaduum (minor god, Chaotic Neutral [Evil]): Once a powerful titan who was beholden to the Old Ones, Nazgaduum fled into Tsre Vestu when his masters were imprisoned. However, during the cataclysm that rose Tsre Vestu from the sea, he managed to escape and tricked the amphibious race of the Ister-Suul to open a rift to the Realm of Madness. Nazgaduum was sucked into the realm and became a mad god, who still rules the Ister-Suul. Nazgaduum opposes all the other gods.

Shame (moderate goddess, Chaotic Good): Wife of Dhorian, Shame's good name was brought low by infidelity to her husband Dhorian. Once the goddess of love, she is now the mistress of secret knowledge and marriage.

He opposes all the other gods, though he did at one time have an alliance with Tuma and Ziga.

Titanicus (major god, Chaotic Neutral): A cruel god of war and slaughter, Titanicus is the patron god of the Ghan and fuels their drive to battle.

Ziga (major goddess, Chaotic Evil): Goddess of corruption and vice, Ziga is often blamed to be at the heart of any evil act on Amberos. Her disfiguration and corruption of the entire goblinoid races is well known on Amberos, and her main body of worshippers consists of the very humanoids she has corrupted. Ziga has at her command the twisted legions of the Abyss, though her control of such beings is questionable at best. Ziga opposes all the other gods, though she sometimes is willing to work with other deities (usually evil ones) for short periods of time. The Dark One (head god, Lawful Evil): The god of evil incarnate, The Dark One is the master of hell and is the despoiler of all good. Where Ziga transforms her evil minions to match their twisted souls, the Dark One labors to annul the forces of good and replace them with his own foul desires and willing servants.

Other Gods

The Ancient Ones: These gods have existed since before Amberos rose from the sea. Consisting of the various pantheons of the Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, Babylonian and other mythos. These gods made their presence known to Amberos during the Elvin Golden Age, but have been in sleep in the planes beyond Amberos since that time. The gods of Amberos constantly fear the awakening of these gods, and do not kindly suffer priests to worship these pantheons. The Old Ones: Sealed into sleep by the Ancient Ones, the Old Ones are gods of insanity and chaos that have been bound away against the mortal world. Though the old ones have never awakened from their ancient slumber, their minions sometimes pass into Amberos, and priests sometimes arise who seek to free the old ones of their sleep. The

Titans: Minions and servants to the Ancient Ones, they escaped the sleep of the gods and many ruled in the god's stead for some time. When the Ancient Ones awoke during the Elvin golden age, many took umbrage at the Titan's actions and a great war between titans and the Ancient Ones was spawned. The titans lost the war and were banished to Tarterus, but the fight weakened the Ancient Ones, making it easy for Gwieze to put them back to sleep.
