[QUOTE="Perun, post: 7999342, member: 6037"] I don't know if anyone else mentioned this (I'm only on page 2 of the discussion), but in 2e Planescape accessory [I]On hallowed ground[/I], which details various pantheons of the multiverse (and also explains a lot about deities (or powers, as they were known back then), pantheons, their relationship with the multiverse and their servants -- an excellent accessory, IMO), the Babylonian and Egyptian pantheons are described as focusing more on Law vs. Chaos. The Sumerian pantheon, which is one of the oldest surviving pantheons (IIRC) brought civilisation to mankind (taching them irrigation and city-building). What is now Babylonian pantheon separated form the Sumerians, and having already civilised worshippers, focused on strict obedience. Egyptian pantheon was described as a step between the two, where the 'good guys' focused on law and creation, and the 'bad guys' were the powers that wanted to destroy the world. So, not really a published setting, more of a piece of old lore :) [/QUOTE]
