[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4963279, member: 63763"] In some ways, Melora and Erathis are rivals. Melora's portfolia is wilderness, nature and the sea. Erathis has civilization, invention and law. Perhaps without either of them to keep the balance, the two 'rival' sides start to attack each other (perhaps blaming each other for the 'loss' of their dieties). Those living in the wilderness attack cities while cities begin destroying nature. The two sides start mixing together and trying to destroy each other (instead of trying to be seperated and in balance with one another). Also, Gods with similar domains may take over. For example, without the goddess of civilization, around, perhaps Asmodeus, god of tyranny and domination steps in. Just as civilization seems to be falling apart and law seems to be slipping, people turn to a powerful leader that will keep people in line. With a loss of invention, people turn protective of their ideas and try to steal those of others (turning to Vecna, Lord of Secrets). In the case of Melora, it would likely be a turn away from the divine, towards the more primal spirits, and elemental forces. It could even be that, with the divine forces absent, diabolical forces work to replace Erathis and demonic forces work to replace Melora, and that creates additional conflict between the two groups.
