Deity question

[Emiricol]

Hey. One of my pet projects right now is a collaborative world in the build stage. I am interested in description, dogma, and clerics&temples ideas for an intermediate deity with the portfolios of Beauty, Foresight, Drama, and Grief.

I figure I can cheat a bit and get some great ideas from ENners

One word - Cassandra.

 

[Emiricol]

Cassandra? I am sure I am just being dense, but who's Cassandra?

 

[Nightfall]

Cassandra was the greek prophetess from the Illiad who always predicted the truth but was never believed. It was part of her curse for spurring the advances of Apollo I believe.

 

[Emiricol]

That's actually a great idea! What would her worshippers be looking for? How about her clerics? Any ideas are welcome.

Google is your friend.

Type "illiad cassandra" in a google search and you will get plenty of info.

Too bad Cassandra wasn't featured in Deities and Demigods.

 

[Rhialto]

Might be because Cassandra wasn't a demigod...

(Though I agree--she's just the thing for that situation...)

 

[Emiricol]

Okay, I researched it, tweaked it, mished it, mashed it, and made it my own I'm pretty happy with the results - thanks all for the creative catalyst!

Emiricol....

That name sounds familiar. Weren't you on the old WOTC boards?

*searching vainly through memory's lanes*

Sorry, all I get is the name. And an impression of a Red Wizard of Thay? Am I mixing up memories?

(Memory isn't my strong suit...)

Maybe you're thinking of Emiricol the Chaotic (or however you spell it) - that wizard on the horse riding through town in the old DMG. I think it was next to the "random whore table".
