[QUOTE="Roman, post: 1822483, member: 1845"] Yes, that is the general idea of what I want to accomplish. I think I will aim for approximately equal numbers of evil and good gods, though the numbers do not have to match exactly. This is actually a very good list - I like it a lot. It even matches the 'mystical number 7'. ;) Another 'mystical number' is 12, so I will probably aim for one of these two numbers to denote the total number of the 'High Gods' in the pantheon. Number 12 is particularly interesting, since it allows for 12 'normal High Gods' and one (13th - another mystical number) renegade 'High God'. The 12 'normal High Gods' would be good, evil and neutral and some would have conflictual relations, but all would shun the 13th God. I am thinking that the 13th God could be a God of 'Perversion/Corruption'. Hmm, seems like an idea with at least some potential, but I have not yet fixed my mind on it yet. Actually, despite including it in my initial list of examples, I am now thinking too that perhaps Magic should not be covered by any god. Magic could be an independent force. Hmm, this is pretty good - I may well follow this approach. I am thinking these would all be subsumed in nature. Now that I think about it... would it make sense to make nature an 'independent force' without a god, just like magic could be? Good ideas :) [/QUOTE]
