Not necessarily. Each racial god (so far there are only four I can see) is just a kind of exemplar example of what the race should be about. Now not every race has a god. Some, like gnolls, follow ancestors or spirits, or even a crude form of Ushada(sp). Most are titan worshippers, since that's their nature. The Divine races, which basically covers the PHB, have the Eight Victors and then a few have their own racial gods. Gnomes are the exception to this rule, but by in large, mountain dwarves, dark and high/forsaken elves, and halflings are the only known racial gods I can think of off hand. Trogodon/Asaatthi don't count since the vast majority follow Mormo. As for why this happens, why did Christianity survive when it was just 12 guys and a few girls? Why did the Romans go from actively hating Christians and Jews to converting? It's one of this freakly little things that happens. Does it make sense? Not always. But remember, when you have racial gods, all of them are well below the power and awe that the Eight invoke. So unlike having Correllon and Pelor dance around each other, it's more like Correllon pays homage to Pelor who tells him how it is. And that's how it goes. The Eight were first born and this instance, it means a lot.Piratecat said:Hey, here's a question for you. Given the tight cosmology of the Scarred Lands, do the racial Gods (such as Goran of the dwarves) feel a little awkward? They seem to open a whole can of worms; if dwarves have their own god, why not every other race? I'm a little divided on how I would deal with this, or whether it's better just to ignore the inconsistency.
