[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6422483, member: 2093"] I've been mulling over a new campaign setting: [url]http://vishteercampaign.pbworks.com/w/page/87699943/Rule%20of%20the%20Wizards[/url] and am now trying to come up with a religion/pantheon for this world. I had written this originally: Religion: this is a world where the gods are far-off and distant, playing little role beyond granting spells to their followers. None are certain that the gods are anything more than forces of nature, sources of energy, etc... except that angels and demons DO exist, and all swear that they serve one of the Gods, so they must exist... There are three Deities who each have two faces - male and female, and by ancient repute, a third genderless or neutral form which is rarely named or worshipped in the current day. These Gods are named Xanohr/Xaneth (good god/goddess), Amis/Ameyn (neutral god/goddess), and Cetyx/Cetari (evil god/goddess). Each deity or pair of deities (depending on which branch of religion you follow) has many followers, angels or demons depending on their nature. But later I had an idea that instead of an alignment-based system of humanoid gods, I might instead go with something different, and instead choose four or six of the most powerful animal-monsters of DnD (dragon, sphinx, phoenix, etc...) and make one of each of them a god. Not the standard Tiamat and Bahamut dragons, for example, but something more removed from humanity, more alien. And at that point, I might make them more "interactive" than I had originally conceived. But I'm a bit torn, and maybe there are better ideas out there? What can you suggest? Help me choose, or give me another option! [/QUOTE]
