Thef'chu Nefut (Lady of Finality)
Alignment: LE
DR: 20
Domains:
Fate, the Undead and the Dead.

Everything passes under her gaze, and everything passes into her power. Life is but a brief moment in eternity, and she is there at the end.
Her aspects are, an elderly woman in rags, a smiling widow veiled in black, and an infant weeping tears of blood.
Her true shape is the infinite darkness at the end of all things.

I am trying to come up with a limit on actions based on divine rank. Would you guys rather have it as a limit on the amount you can post, or a specific limit on actions or would you rather keep it abstract and let roleplaying solve all our problems. Please reply

It might be good with a limit on the actions we can take. Not necessarily a specific number since different actions would take different amounts of time and effort, but some sort of limitation would probably be necessary to prevent imbalance. I don't know how that would be done, though, without creating a cumbersome system of rules. Maybe we could just play it by ear at first, then see what changes we need to make.

Aranth Al'Rah, God of the Dawn, the light after the Darkness
LG
Domains : Light, War, Good

DR : 20

Aranth Al'Rah is the son of Xak'Tsar and brother of Thef'chu Nefut. The rivalry between the two siblings goes back to the beginning of times. Al'Rah is the warrior of light, the force of good, the defender of the weak and the helpless.
He opposes the bleak, grim view of his sister, focussing on all that is good in life and the need to fight for his values.
He is depicted as a golden dragon basking in the morning sun.

Notice how everyone is DR 20?

I do believe that is going to be pointless. Perhaps we should either let Suicidal_Llama decide what our divine ranks are or do away with that concept and let our actions and natures dictate the power in which we act.

Thank u voidrazor for posting as 18 not 20

I just posted a current list of gods in post one and the IC thread has a link from post 10 of the OOC thread.

VOIDRAZOR you cannot have the time domain as Othar already possess this, domains like good and evil and balance may overlap but not specific ones. Please change it

I think we'll need a DM ruling about the Fate of the Dead. Can any deity create an afterlife for its own followers or those of like alignment? If that's the case my domains are not worth much. And since creation is antithetical to Thef'chu Nefut she won't be able to create her own races to serve her in the now and hereafter, which really limits the scope of her religion.

Otoh, the afterlife (and creation) are the main points of divinity, the centerpieces of all religion. Maybe it's a bit much if my deity should hold all of it herself. But where does one strike a balance?

Can she successfully contest the creations of alternative afterlives?

edit: I though it better to ask the question now, rather then after its devolved into squabbling. It will help us all get a better grasp just on what our domains can do.

A note on followers and the after life

Upon reaching a point in which a follower of a specific god dies he/she then procedes to that gods designated afterlife:
People that are not followers of a specific god(believing they are all false or acknowledging them all equally) will flow through to Thef'chu Nefut's plane for her afterlife.

secondly there is no more portal or tear or whatever was there no more wound in Thef'chu Nefut's side. Nephtys please, try to understand that now that the portal is closed you are now trapped inside, you cannot exist outside it.

Nephtys also note that no matter your domains you are able to create life, even if it is twisted and evil. like drow or duergar.

 

[Nephtys]

Ok.

The portal wasn't the wound, the universe itself was. No matter, it was just a story-device, it makes no practical difference. She's a god like any other, all of them operating under the same conditions. That's fair.

We could say there are two souls, the greater and lesser (I believe it is a Chinese belief). The lesser soul is the mortal one it is the nuture side of the equation. The greater one is the immortal soul, or the nature part of the equation. It can not die and in the domain of the diety most associated with it.

Thef'chu Nefut could have domain over the lesser souls, the shades and ghosts of the world, while the greater souls are the domain of the gods of like alignment or disposition. It would be something different then the tired D&D cosmology.

 

[magic_gathering2001]

I always assumed we'd each have to think of creative/clever ways to get the souls away from her.

IE i made mine removed from time making death unlikely and may later do something else...
Bea'ral could do reincarnation or something (change into a new form after death) etc...
