[QUOTE="Paka, post: 1150056, member: 100"] Just in case you need something cosmic to hang your hat on. I'm going to base the Gods of this world on the alignments, making it easy to just peg a God into each alignment. There are other religions, totems, ancestor worship, self-proclaimed Demi-Gods, etc. but most of the western world worships the Nine. This is all very much a simplification of Jim's pantheon when I was a wee teenage lad and he ran a campaign called The Nine blended with George RR Martin's pentad religion in A Song of Ice and Fire. There are priesthoods and such dedicated to each of the Nine but there are also priests who worship the entire Pantheon as a whole, seeing it as a symbol of cosmic balance. [B]LG - [/B] [U]The Paladin's Son [/U] - Took the Paladin's place when he died defeating The Liche. [B]LN - [/B] [U]The Judge [/U] - Blind law and justice. Many Wizards worship the Judge because he is said to adjucate over the laws of nature and magic also. [B]LE - [/B] [U]The Conqueror [/U] - The Paladin's angry, imperialist twin brother. [B]NG - [/B] [U]The Saint [/U] - Some say she Paladin's mother. Her statues weeped blood when he died. [B]N - [/B] [U]The Sea [/U] - The oldest of the Gods and hasn't ever been attempted to be overthrown in recorded history, though some say the Sea took the Continent's place when they broke apart...or it was their battle that broke them asunder and the flood was a cosmic power-play. [B]NE - [/B] [U]The Witch-Hunter [/U] - Aided the Paladin in the Liche's defeat but is pure bitch evil. Sees magic as evil and views alignment (and hence the structure of this pantheon) as a conspiracy of Wizards to hide true evil. [B]CG - [/B] [U]The People's Champion [/U] - Think Robin Hood with a priesthood. [B]CN - [/B] [U]The Jester [/U] - None know what the Jester's relation is with the rest of the pantheon but he gained alot of fearful respect since defeating Primordial Chaos, the holder of this position before the Jester. This God has been aspected as both men and women and some say this is a new incarnation of Primordial Chaos and not a new God(dess) at all. [B]CE - [/B] Since the defeat of the Liche no one knows who sits on the seat of CE. This isn't going to be the subject of our one-shot but just a mysterious thingie, floating out there. If you have any 10 Minute Pantheons, post 'em or if you have any comments or ideas to add to this one give a post. Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
