God of unhappiness

[Bartmanhomer]

Are there any gods of unhappiness in D&D?

I believe "Ex Libris Nocturnis" has had some of those, but I don't know details. Sorry.

Maybe someone on their forums could help.

I can't think of any off-hand, but I do think that "God of Sorrow" sounds a little better than "God of Unhappiness."

Just my opinion of course..

I was remembering a "maiden of sorrows", but that was in Tolkien's cosmology (Nienna).

Nienna is the Valar who sympathises with sufferers and mourns the sorrows of the world.

Loviatar (Finnish mythos, the Forgotten Realms) is a deity of pain. Shar (Forgotten Realms) is referred to as the Lady of Loss.

It's for answering questions like this that I created the Gods List. It's got every deity from D&D to date (Cas, from Heroes of Horror notwithstanding...if anyone has that book could help me out in that regard, I'd be appreciative).

Wow!

Is it possible to create a good god with the unhappiness portfolio?

Absolutely it is. You should take the time with all these ideas of yours, and make a campaign setting...
