[QUOTE="dark_mage, post: 5570661, member: 35039"] Hello again! ^_^ I currently have the Egyptian, Greek and Norse pantheons in the backburner. Should be interesting to see what I can come up with ^^ Ah, I get it now. So I guess the Godslayer should be someone with the power to kill gods one-on-one, am I right? What I still don't get is the umbilical, what's his/her [I]raison d'être[/I]? Though I agree with you on this, I think I'll be keeping Tiamat as LE, since I've tied her to other things that won't work as a CE You know, I didn't quite got the vibe from Anu as deposed/bitter. Enlil on the other hand... Apologies. I was working under 3E D&D. Once I get some cash flowing I'll be sure to take a look at Ascension ^^; True I get that now. Must be some crowded divine realms ^^ This brought to mind: do you consider the Olympians a Triumvirate (Zeus-Poseidon-Hades), or is Zeus the Head Honcho? I see what you mean now. Though I don't agree entirely on Inanna and Ishtar as separate entities (same issue as Ki/Ninhursag, only worse IMO) Still an interesting rule of thumb to create pantheons. And it does give the "Greater" status something special. Previosuly it felt a bit diluted with the Intermediate one. Anu didn't struck me as someone defeated. To me, he feels like a very "by the book" character, so he honored his agreement with Marduk (mind you that I'm assuming he had already step down in favour of Enlil), and supports him, solely based on the principle of Law. An interesting idea would be having Enlil as a "in the middle", with both Anu and Marduk going over his head, and a bit resentful of beign forced to abdicate in favor of Marduk. [/QUOTE]
