Crothian
First Post
My first attempt to create a god using the basic guidelines in D&Dg. He is a Divine Rank 1 god. That is the lowest and still be a god. It's not as fleshed out as I want it yet, but it's a good basic start.
Jacob
Demi-God
Symbol: Fiery Bow
Alignment: Neutral Good
Portfolio: Adventure, Wilderness
Worshipers: Wilderness Guides, Rangers
Cleric Alignments: Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Neutral
Domains: Animal, Plant, Travel
Favored Weapon: Longbow
Jacob was born in the city of Thesden. His parents where killed in the Orc invasion and he was left with his half sister, Karen. Karen was a healer and raised Jacob. Jacob grew up in the wilderness, learning all the paths and trails through the woods. He enjoyed traveling and guiding people. He guided some people to the capital city of Calador where he meet Gildain, Flynnderon, and Kinnear Holland. This group of stout adventurers took Jacob under their wing. Karen was worried at first, but the three assured her they would keep him safe. For three years they were able to keep him safe. However, when the meet the Black Dragon Dicator, Jacob died. Dicator has coated his gold with poison and Jacob fell victim to the devilish trap.
Jacob found himself in the lush fields of the afterlife. He was rewarded for his service to good when he was alive. However, Jacob was not content in the afterlife. He worried about his sister and about his friends. So, he found a way to return to the Prime Material Plane. First he visited with Flyderon and explained things. He was able to help a little with the great battle to return the evil Lich, Sistinak, back to his normal self. After that battle Jacob left them again.
Two years later Karen was picking some healing herbs in her garden when she saw Jacob wondering around. He had no memory of what had happened to him since his encounter with Dicator. From then on Jacob helped Karen. They eventually moved to the city of Montenelle and Karen started a Hospital there. Jacob spent time at Marsis’s Grove and become even more devout. He wondered the wilderness and stayed there for many years.
However, Jacob never physically aged. He watched his sister grow older, marry, have lots of kids and eventually pass. Jacob played the perfect Uncle to her kids, but they too eventually grew old and soon he looked younger then them. Jacob didn’t understand what was going on so he retreated in the wilderness and become a hermit. He lived in the wildest forest with only the wolves and other animals around. His relatives occasionally sought him out and he always made himself available to them. As time passed fewer and fewer people looked for him.
On day Jacob learned of an Archer Contest in Calador. This was a huge event in celebration of the 600th anniversary of the country. The grand price was an island in the Gulf of Selenia. The island was completely wild having just been acquired with a treaty with the Sylvan elves. The island was small and not much use for a country. So, for the first time in many decades Jacob left his wilderness. The contest was not even close. No one could match Jacob’s excellence with a bow and he won the island. With no fane fare he took the deed and traveled to his island where he lived out his life.
Jacob is the Demi God of people who travel through the woods. His favorite mortals are explores who explore the wilds with little more then a basic compass and a lot of desire. Jacob appears as a male half elf wearing basic woodsman cloths. He always has his longbow, a quiver full of arrows and a pair of Kukri at his side. His hair is brown and usually has a few bits of branches or leaves in it.
Dogma
Rangers and travelers revere him. Jacob asks that people who pass through the forests leave them as they are. That people only hunt to survive and never for sport.
Clergy And Temples
So far there are just two temples to Jacob. They are at Marsis’s grove and in the town Thesden. His clergy where normal clothes and are encouraged to travel and explore. Any place is fine, as long as it hasn’t been explored by the cleric and is in the wilderness.
