[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 3243153, member: 474"] No doubt. I should have started earlier -- I've 'only' put in half to a third as much time. I do very much like to shake things up in my game, although admittedly I've never done it to that level. I have, however, had gods die -- several (including a greater god) historically, and at least one during in-game time. Similarly in recent memory a god ascended. On the mundane level, one nation has fallen and a long-running war has ended. Your last line does bring up a question, though. What's the power relation between demons/devils and their masters vs. the gods? In the standard Great Wheel cosmology, it seems the (evil) gods don't have all that much power compared to the demon lords and archdevils, that if the Blood War was to not keep them occupied they'd directly challenge the dark gods for control. As it stands, there, gods control tiny realms compared to the vast empires of the demons and devils. What's it like in your campaign? Clearly the demons have some power compared to the gods, or else their victory would not cause the deaths of so many gods. Amusingly similar to mine, except it was humans not dwarves, and the original creation was a mistake. The final creation was a 'committee effort'. :) So much for the theory that demons had power. So mortals are, or were, the primary force in your setting? So the current alignments of the gods are ~3000 years old. What about the personalities and the like: was the (NE greater) death god still a death god then? Was the (CN greater) god of change still a god of change? Am I misunderstanding? I did get that distinct impression. Cool. I wonder how you'll develop that over the coming years. In any case I'm not surprised that the goddess would be privy to at least some of the Sidereal's knowledge. I just picked some of the weapons that are seldom favored -- none are in my campaign. Of course as I mentioned I don't have more than a dozen or so demigods statted. You get major kudos from me for not choosing stereotypical mage weapons. [/QUOTE]
