[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 2773115, member: 957"] My current setting features the Pharaonic Pantheon as the elven patheon, Asgard for dwarves and Olympian for humans. There is a north Africa equivalent elven kingdom, but the pantheon is not limited to there. The original idea was a classic gods vs. Lovecraft horrors setting. (It was fun when a cleric PC had a vision from their god and could see that the diety was trembling. :cool: ). But I'm doing other things with the setting as well. Currently the party is in the setting's amazon jungle basin dealing with the CN tribal elves (mainly Bast / Nephthys worshippers) against CE elves (Set followers) in league with Yuan-Ti. Throw in a bunch of orc tribes including Sobek worshipping cults led by were-crocs and you have lots of fun. Orcus is behind the current Yuan-ti uprising so there are lots of undead of all kinds. Some YT houses loathe the acceptance of undeath and others see it as a path to power, so there is in-fighting and politics to work with there. And of course Orcus is really just playing everybody for his own long term goals (though nobody knows that yet). Maybe more info than anyone cares for. But the point is that you can have a lot of fun taking classic stuff and moving it outside its normal setting. [/QUOTE]
