[QUOTE="SkidAce, post: 6877427, member: 7706"] I have "primal" deities, basically the first ones to come into being after the formation of the cosmos. They are widespread (although sometime forgotten). I also have the Micheal Moorcock / OD&D Immortals method, thousands of lesser gods that come and go from mortals or other origins. As far as Pantheons and races... I have a viking analogue of humans, that worship a "Norse/Finnish" pantheon that has around 14 deities. [URL="http://alfaysia.obsidianportal.com/wikis/the-vaesir"]The Vaesir[/URL However, this is the joint faith for a set of humans, dwarves, and a subset of humans. The dwarves follow the faith as a whole, but do tend to look at Nuada, Vulcan, and Magni as dwarves. So we have humans and dwarves with the same faith. The subset of humans that are descended from the originals follow the same faith, but leave out the barbarian viking characteristics, and brought in some elven (Tuathan) add-ons. --- Tiamat, Mother of Monsters (cliche, but we've been playing since the 80s not going to abandon my mythos now) is one of the primal deities from creation. Her and Bahamut, along with Shekinester form a faith called the Draconic Dogma (all three maintain/preserve the universe). Once it started to decline, due to irrelevancy to a large portion of a human empire, it faded away. However, when there was a rebellion in that empire, a new faith of rebellion and justice arose, championed by the deity Mithril. Who is actually Bahamut. Hecate/Tiamat is still his foe. There is a demon called Takhisis to the east, that is gaining in power. BL: Primal deities take many forms and faiths across the universe, and don't care about racial boundaries. The immortal style gods mainly stay on the world of their origin, but can appear as a different form to broaden their base/brand. ;)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
