[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7154517, member: 23"] This would be extremely setting dependent wouldn't it? In yoon-suin, the Yellow City has many names, and one of them is the "City of Gods" due to the ridiculously high amounts of shrines and temples to various deities in the city, numbering in the several hundreds. This is kind of fun because you can have a god/ess of *anything. I've only created several dozens :P - The Bull of Battle (*not* war), holy colors are black and red, prefers the sacrifice of insect, name is private. Strongly associated with your house. Values courage and will heal warriors who's fights have damaged their bodies - or mind. - Parkij, the Crane of Hunger. Concerned with famine. Holy color is this old yellowed bone shade. Demands sacrifice of food (lots of it). Stoic. - Phtol, the lady of the dawn. Crane-aspected. Holy colors are pink and yellow. Morning and dreams. Sacrifice of eels. Intense dislike of the crane of hunger, (but Followers of Parkij are merely contemptuous), shrine facing each other across an arm of the river. Domains granted are light or knowledge (dreams bring insight). Given prayers by those who hope to wake up with insight or inspiration. - Yato, hoarder of secrets. A mole. Wine red is his sacred color. He demands the sacrifice of *hands* (any hands will do, not just yours!). Grants the domain of knowledge or trickery. Prayed to by those looking to discover secrets and keep them for themselves. Shrine on the Red Bank - Dafe the tailor beetle, god of tailoring. Demands sacrifice of bones. Any color is acceptable but the cut has to be impeccable. Known to withdraw spells from shabby priests. Vanuk, the retributer. aka "Justice Toad" by his detractors. A god of justice, particularly just vengeance and punishment. Accepts sacrifices of the guilty, who's heads are crushed with a great hammer. Dress in dark green. Followed by many vigilantes and crusading paladins. Holy men go out and dispense justice, sometimes indiscriminately. Quite popular. Ows a big favor to Ghost Maker. Temple in the Fish District. WoBek Jozefa: A donkey. God of swearing and of urgently telling people to stop before they hurt themselves or cause a scene. "medium" gray is their holy color. Shrine in the Old Quarters etc etc :D [/QUOTE]
