[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 4566514, member: 1861"] Why not make the Raven Queen a known psychopomp, this world's version of the Grim Reaper? Death is one of the few deities or forces which should be unique to a setting. Perhaps the Raven Queen is an actual individual, the original embodiment of the archetype which would later be worshipped around the multiverse. I hate the concept in roleplaying games that there is literally a shining exemplar of Elvenkind who looks like an elf, or some wizard walking around eyeless and handless who is the keeper of secrets. Perhaps you can branch away from this and make yourself happy . . . perhaps not. The dwarves fear the Fogs, a heavy, peasoup sort of phenomenon which is said to freeze and burn the flesh, and the creatures which lurk within . . . some claim they were dwarves of a forgotten empire who corrupted themselves through attempting to bind the powers of the Three Great Keeps into their own sinister realm deep in the Eastern Mountains. Dwarves fear swamps, valleys, and places hidden from the firelight of Sun and separated from the hard stone of the earth; these places where water befouls and stagnates, and the Fog wanders. That's about what I can do for you . . . if you like it check out my articles and blog ;). Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
